Adding weight

It's time to add weights to my workouts again.

I have managed to faithfully show up for almost 2 months. Some days lacking intensity, some days giving it 100%- but NEVER MISSING!! I really want to cultivate that need, that addiction to  being at the gym.

I also joined Amanda's running group on Tuesdays, they do a 5k walk/jog/run. It's free, fun and no pressure on time.

This past week the kettlebell and barbell have become part of my life again. Here's a peek at those workouts:

Happy lifting !

remember:
1 lb of fat burns 2-3 calories per hour just by existing. 1 lb of muscle burns 7-9 calories per hour, just existing.

What do you want to be made of, fat or muscle ?

A world of Octobers

the first 30 days are up ! arriving at 250 squats a day was no easy task.

As per the last post, my progress has been pretty good, not outrageous- but that's the goal. Slow and steady wins the fat race. Slow... Like a stampede of turtles knee deep in peanut butter, but still moving forward.

SO FOR OCTOBER!!!! Here we go! Le Amanda, Le bf Fritz, and possibly Le Amanda's bf Nate will be teaming up for this one... We are in a couple vs couple challenge to lose 20 lbs- and this is one of the activities:

On Oct. 31st I will plan some sort of big physical challenge to measure the progress of the past 2 months. Maybe like a "Flora's version" of a triathlon or a 10k... Something cool. 

For now...Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...
