:)

I love both Jess & C's funny stories. It's funny because my carbs aren't technically that LOW, but after any workout, I sure focus in on getting food in my body as soon as possible!!! And yes, Jess, I'm moderating comments just so no more "randoms" post. How lame, huh??
Anyway. Today I did 60 min. on the stairmill/guantlet at the gym. Fasted. Yikes, that is TOUGH! I do 30 min. on the Fat Burner level 8. Then I do 3 seperate 10 minute programs. TOday it was sprint intervals for 10, then aerobic training, then Fat burner II. I like the shorter 10 minute ones because then each level or bar is like 7 seconds long. I can handle that at high level. It's trying to do like 30-40 seconds continually at level 8 that really gets me........ Who knows...... :) I guess I like variety.
Went home to eat & shower, had three appt. this morning, then head back to the gym for shoulders and guess what, more cardio! :)
I'm like 63 or 62 days out, which basically means I have over 110 cardio sessions left. That puts it into perspective. But, other way to look at it, is, being 9 weeks out, I really only have 8 more Leg workouts, 8 more Back, 8 more Shoulders, 8 more Chest workouts, and PLENTY of routine/gymnastics practice. WOW. Enough ramblings for today.
Hey, Did I mention, I'm loving every minute of this???? :) :) :)
Much love!~

Hey Girl,

So I pretty much keep up on your blog and I want you to know that I am inspired and even steal some of your cardio ideas! Thanks for the motivation. So do you really FAST all day and then do 2 hours of cardio? Looks like I cant compete till August so I am on a lifiting routine 4 days/wk and about 5 hours of cardio a week...no dieting here. My diet is the hardest part to maintain..but I can workout 4 hours a day and love every minute of it. Oh and about the green beans...I do that all the time! Anyway we should chat sometime when your not crazy busy...Work HARD!
Talk to you soon!

Em-
You are a nut ball!I love that you are loving this because sadly I DO TOO! You rock! :)
Nice job on breaking it down and putting it in perspective. Really, that is the only way to fly! :)
Glad you liked my story - I find it all pretty funny really.
This is what I do on the step mill to pass the time...break my cardio up into 5 minute increments:
1 min, regular steps level 10
1 min, double steps level 9
1 min, sideways with your right foot leading so you cross your left over your right as you take steps (confusing)
1 min, sideways with your left foot leading
1 min, double steps with a butt squeeze so you push your leg out while squeezing your butt.
Rest for 1 min after and start it all over again! WOO HOO!
