Hello everyone. I hope everyone is having phabulous day! I have to say that I’m doing well and feeling really good about training is going. The business is picking up and I have some great clients who are working hard.
So, while I was at Phat Camp (by the way it is all women unless you sign up for a weekend where men are allowed) they announced a Biggest Loser type competition that Jenn is running this year for all Phat Campers. I’m entering. Even though I’ve lost a lot of weight and do have some muscle, I have a long way to go on improving my own physique and lowering my body fat.
For a long time I felt like I had to beat it hard with the cardio if I wanted to lose weight and maintain. I mean I’ve done some incredible amounts of cardio and had little to no time for weights because I couldn’t see those calories tick off on the old Heart Rate Monitor. Finally I have had my eyes opened. Now, and for the past few months, I have been doing my weights first and my cardio second. Since finishing my last 1/2 marathon in December and closing out the holidays, I have been very conscious of really focusing on intense weight training and shorter but more intense cardio sessions. Wow, is it paying off. This morning I finally saw a good drop in the scale and, more importantly, the body fat. I’ll keep everyone posted on the trend.
