Love2liftkat's training log

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Weight went backwards last week. Managed to gain weight guessing due to stress/holding water. Thankfully with lots of cardio, it's back off this week! Just praying it keeps moving down!

Workouts have been excellent this week! In the zone and feeling good for the most part. A little more tired today but just pushing through. Went back after work for cardio due to running over a bit this morning.

if it is from stress and water, then dont fire up extra cardio lady. if you are keeping a nutrition and stressors log, go back and see if you missed or added something in that caused the spike and adjust that. if you bound up and then crank up the cardio then you are running the same risk of stalling out your metabolism again. i always give bumps up in weight 2 wks before either adjusting cals or increasing cardio. 9 out of 10 times with my clients they are cheating on their diets or doing something that i dont know about though haha. not saying that's what you are doing but mine are terrible for it. always keep in mind slow steady progress and small adjustments one at a time and you will be good to go

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

Thank you! I'm bad about jumping too quick to cut calories and add cardio. I'm guessing my body was just responding poorly to all of the extra work I was doing around the house. We were moving lots of heavy furniture, ripping up carpets, and scraping up very old vinyl and glue. More work and my body decides to prepare for famine! [emoji23]

Re: Love2liftkat's training log

What a busy end to the week! I had 2 large cake orders to finish. One shaped like a cartoon character and the other had an edible purse, makeup, and nail polish on top. They both had side orders of cake pops and cupcakes as well. So needless to say, I was stressed out! Lol Finished around 1:15 this morning. Back up before 8 for the kids soccer! So glad they didn't have early games! Haha

Booked our plane tickets to San Diego mid June. I'm so excited! God really blessed us to make it happen. We planned to use our flier miles but ran short and someone ended up gifting is what we needed to get there!
