Altered my days, so today is a cardio day. I did 40min on the treadmill trying to keep my target heartrate at 65% or so. I actually could have gone a lot longer but I had to get back to work.

Re: Body For Life Challenge Week 2

Up to date on exercises. YEAH!

Eating right and drinking my water.

I went on an inclide yesterday of 4 on the treadmill. Still not as fast as the recommendation, but I'll get there.

Muscles not hurting as bad this week as last week. Hope I don't build too much muscle before loosing more weight.

Re: Body For Life Challenge Week 2

New me you'll do Both Building muscle takes a while but the payoff is worth it. Don't be discouraged if the weight goes up for a bit, this is totally Normal and it is the adaptation and break down of your muscle tissue. WHat happens when you gain when you lift weights is your bodies cell volume increases basically water retention cause you are creating small tears in the muscles. Like when you sprain you ankle it gets sore and Poofy same with your muscles this is only temporary.

We want some muscle Built cause for 1 it halps our Body look leaner and mor steamlined and we can stay the same weight YET be 2 sizes smaller LOL. A pound of fat looks linda like a rolly lellowy piece of YUCK and a lb of Muscle is hard and dence and takes up less room then that same pound of fat so you can lose size and stay the same wieight.
