Thursday- 50 minute shoulders and arms, run circuit (2 min runs are up to 8.0)
Friday- 50 minutes Kenpo Karate

Weekly Fitness Tip: Reach your goals-
I attribute reaching my goal weight so quickly on a number of things. 1) I workout hard 6 days a week and I am always mixing it up, read: muscle confusion. 2) I recognize that my nutrition and eating habits are a lifestyle and I eat good because it makes me feel good. 3)I try to stay balanced in my life and really try to be non-obsessive. I think that nursing may have helped, but I'm not sure because when I nursed Diesel I plateaued at 150 for months and months and didn't lose all my weight until I was done. So remind yourself, consistency, lifestyle and balance. I find that focusing on fitness goals ie; becoming stronger, faster or gaining more endurance helps to increase positive body image and your body will be shaped more into what you want it to be.
