So this is my last week of eating a lot of food. I’m so excited to start leaning up! It’s a bit scary, as I’m already finding the fall/winter holidays and get-togethers a bit overwhelming. I feel like every weekend there’s something going on… and now it’s spilled over into the middle of the week! Luckily I have a lot going on, so I don’t even think about eating. I just do it when it’s time. Anyway…

My workouts went really well last week! I feel great! I did every single one of my workouts, and pushed myself extra hard for missing some last week. I was SO hungry in the middle of the week, but I think part of it is because I was working so hard in the gym. My metabolism must be increasing! I think I’m going to lay off of hard cardio this week to give my legs a rest. I want them to be fresh when I start increasing my cardio next week. I have a busy week this upcoming week, but I should have time to get the following workouts in:

Monday: AM-LI or MI Cardio; PM-Chest/Abs

Tuesday: AM-LI Cardio or REST (I’m realizing I haven’t had a complete rest day in a really long time!)

Wednesday: AM-LI Cardio; PM-Back/Shoulders/Abs

Thursday: Light Legs

Friday: AM-LI Cardio; PM-Biceps/Triceps

Saturday: AM-HI Cardio; PM-Legs/Abs

Sunday: LI Cardio or REST

My nutrition will remain the same for this last week. Next week it will be much different as I taper down my calories to prepare for the next 7 weeks.

Stay motivated!
