My Return
 

I have returned.........I haven't been here due to the issues discussed in my main journal, but my exercise has continued. I have found the workout ratio that works for my body(finally!!!!) and have been sticking to it religiously for weeks. I'll start by listing today's activities:
Vigorous lower body lifting
Pillates

My workouts have been consisting of upper and lower body lifting, yoga (regular and power), occational walking and pillates
I'm also trying to ween myself off my Hydroxycut for my 2 cycling weeks.

Nice to see you back around here Melissa!! :)

Thanks, Linda!

Struggling.........
 

As I continue to try to pull my body out of starvation mode, my workouts are struggling: I'm having a hard time doing them in general! My lifting workout for Tuesday resulted in horrible consequenses (difficulty breathing, muscle weakness and failure, rapid heart beat and dizziness) I can't remember the last time I felt that bad.)
Needless to say, I didn't do anything yesterday.
The heat here is also not helping. 114 degrees currently. :tears:
Hoping to get my upper body lifting in today.

I have stopped the Hydroxycut completely because of it's awsome appetite suppression (making eating even more difficult)

Hoping things will get better soon, as I am heading back to work tomorrow!
