I must admit it... I've been slacking a bit on my workouts... I know you saying to yourself... "but I have been reading your blog every day and I see that you have been burning between 650 and 700 calories doing cardio 5 to 6 times a week... How can you be slacking off?" Well, it's because I started cutting out the resistance training... When I'm tired after work I muster up all the energy I can to force myself to go to the gym...Then after I finish the first half hour program on the elliptical machine, I again talk myself into doing another half hour of cardio. After all of that, sometimes I just can't convince myself to do resistance training. Even though I know that building muscle makes your metabolism rise because muscle burns more calories than fat. Believe me, I know all the of the benefits...but I still cut it out of my workout when I'm tired. I decided that I would stop slacking and do resistance training every time that I workout, just like I did when I started this competition. I started today with a half hour of upper body weights.
Daily Journal:
I ate 1645 calories today. I put in an hour on the elliptical machine, which burned 660 calories and I finished with a half hour of upper body resistance training.
