Week 28
Last Week's Weight: 127.5

I ate clean this week except for one night of a controlled portion of pizza (hard to do). Not sure why I gained a pound but I'm still holding in the 120's, yay! My workout was as follows:
Monday-P90X chest and back with 2 minute sprints in between each set (45 minutes)
Tuesday-Legs and 2 minute sprints (45 minutes)
Wednesday-Shoulders and arms with 2 minute sprints (45 minutes)
Thursday-Power Yoga (45 minutes)
Friday-2 mile run outside (I was so super tired today for some reason)

2 more weeks
Previous Weight: 128
This week's weight: 127.5
With a broken computer and a week of not really wanting to hit the gym, I am behind again. (Even not really in the mood to workout-I continued to hit the gym). I have been eating clean except for the weekends. Why does it have to be so fun and relaxing to pig out on burgers and cookies?? My workout was pretty similar for the 2 weeks:
Monday-4.5 mile run outside (42 minutes)
Tuesday- Spartacus circuit (3 times through)
Wednesday-4.5 mile run outside (42 minutes)
Thursday-power yoga (45 minutes)
Friday-4.5 mile run outside (42 minutes)
Saturday- Spartacus circuit (3 times through)
Weekly Fitness Tip: Fat Burning vs. High Intensity Training (HIT)
Remember not too long ago when we all believed that it was better to exercise at a lower "fat-burning" rate? To burn fat we were supposed to go longer at a moderate intensity. WRONG-O!! To turn your body into a calorie-burning, fat-losing powerhouse, you need to exercise at a rate that is hard and intense. Better yet, do a lot of total body moves and keep your heart rate up in the process. Doing sprints and intervals on the treadmill as opposed to walking in a "fat-burning" zone is way more beneficial. Think about it, if you walk or bike for 30 minutes and burn maybe 200-250 calories this is good but if you walk/jog and mix in some HIT, you will burn far more calories, rev your metabolism and burn more fat. Push yourself if you want to change yourself!!
