When I was driving home today, I saw a calf no bigger than a medium sized dog run in a circle and buck. It was so cute! I wanted to stop the car, climb over the fence, and pet it! Maybe bring it home, too! :-) The baby just warmed my heart.
That calf was the highlight of my day. Today was a rest day. My back and shoulders are sore today, and this week, I start on another 2 week phase. I'll be lifting HEAVY (3x3-5) then one set of 25 reps to burn it out. Abs four days per week, and cardio 4 days per week as well. I might still do 5 days of cardio. I've modified the diet and cardio. I'm adding in at least one starch per day in the morning. This morning it was oatmeal with egg whites and fruit for breakfast. Yesterday was 1/2 of a bagel with a handful of spinach and chopped chicken on top. And I am going back to my regular cardio routine of running and some elliptical. With intervals of course. That's the key to an effective cardio workout!
I'm really getting excited about the life coach. I made a list of short term goals that I want to accomplish.
1. Revamp my writing portfolio and include work from my graduate career in portfolio.
2. Write a resume targeted toward writing jobs
3. Find out more about how to freelance for the local paper and weekly publication
4. Write a first draft of a novel by July 31.
5. Make a space for myself to write.
It's number 4 that I'm most worried about. I plan to buy the book Book in a Month, and follow the guidelines. Well, I'm giving myself about 3 months, and some of this is because I need to get my space in order. I have no desk at home, and my laptop is broken. I'll fix those, and then get going on the book after that. That should be a good start and will give something for my life coach to help me with. I also need to write clear fitness goals; I'm just not sure what those are yet. Oh! And I DID lose weight this week--1 lb! That makes my weight loss a total of 3 pounds in about 2 weeks! :-)
