I lost a little over 3 lbs, which is what I thought I would loose. My trainer gave me a tip to help me from hurting my knees, put the treadmill at an incline. It is working, I can get a great workout in and my knees feel fine. I worked myself too much yesterday and was on the treadmill for 2 hours. The time is not a problem, but I allowed my heart rate to hit 175 which is not good. I think in the future I will only do an hour or stop when my heart rate gets over 155, which ever is longer. That plus my weight lifting 3 days a week should give me a great workout and maximize my fat burning. I don't want to work my body too hard because it will freak out and start storing more fat to prepare. I need to make sure I keep to a happy medium of diet and exercise to promote fat burning but not shock my body into storing.
My diet is going well also, I could eat better foods and I am working on increasing my vegetable consumption. I have been making sure that I am eating whole grains, fiber, and protein before my workout and protein after the workout, which is good. That gives you the energy for the workout and also helps heal the muscles. IcyHot has become my friend lol.
The BodyBugg has also helped a lot. It acts like a constant reminder of what I need to do. Instead of a string on my finger, it is a sensor on my left triceps and a watch. When I feel hungry I can just look at it and decide if I need to eat or if I should just have some water for now.
The future is looking good and so will I. ;p
