Today was LBWO. It was intense. I very nearly puked doing deadlifts I failed on the fifth rep at 150 lbs.

I'm ready for a week off now, not next month. These are the weeks in BFL I saw big results last time, I think the results started a week or so ago. My pants are bagging biiig time now, my boobs shrunk more, quads are looking good, and veins are showing up all over the place. What happens, you lose fat and they are clearer/more visible? Or does lifting make em bigger? I read a great post about it on ABC (how veins have 1 muscle in em), but I'm curious how fat loss figures in there as well. My SO insists that my tricep flab has really dramatically decreased. It will be nice when it's gone!

I haven't been so good about cardio this week, due to feeling tired. I don't think I do enough to be overtraining, but I'm pooped. I am very much inclined to listen to my body and rest a week, but I have one month to go! I felt this way around week 8-9 last challenge too. I think I will try to get in a good cardio session tomorrow, provided I don't shop till I drop
