Can I make a suggestion?
Up your weight sessions to three times a week if possible. This will build your muscle mass and up your metabolism.

Don't worry, you won't get bulky!

 

[islandblossom]

great suggestion, i'm thinking of adding that in on saturdays, mondays, + fridays.

 

[Shimmer]

good plan!!

Slowly but surely ladies...

 

[Shimmer]

keep in mind that you're building muscle too.

 

[islandblossom]

That is a very good point!

I can see the definition too and the tire around my waist is slowly going away, hahahaha.

On a more different note, I have my graduation ceremony this Sunday! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Yay for a fabulous butt! That's what I think of when I see/hear the word lunges. Congrats on maintaining =)

 

[islandblossom]

Thank you!

Today was memorial day so my family had a "steakfest" and I had to be very careful about that I ate because the slightest indulgence could set me off track.

B: spinach salad w/ grilled chicken
S: tall white choc mocha w/ nonfat milk and no whip cream
L: 1 bbq stick plus one stick of corn

My mom gave me her 2 8lb weight dumbells so i'll definitely be using those to doing some squats tonight.

I haven't been able to work out this past weekend bc I started my period and was having very bad cramps. booooooo.

 

[islandblossom]

B: 2 WW rice cakes + coffee
S: protein yogurt + diet coke

Belly dancing tonight...

That's so weird, I didn't realize that I didn't eat that much today. Probably cause we were so busy in the office.

D: chicken breast, corn on the cob, and baked fries (ughhh blame the fries on the fiance, hahahah)

 

[islandblossom]

B: coffee + yogurt w/ scoop of protein powder
S: rice cake

my military benefits recently got cut off so i haven't been able to put in any real strength training just yet but fortunately, the fiance and i were able to obtain membership at la fitness!

i'm sooooo excited, they have a variety of group exercise classes and they feature a swimming pool as well as a sauna room. i can't wait for that.

so this my exercise workout plan for next week:
sunday: strength training - emphasis on lunges & squats
monday: hip hop class
tuesday: possible hip hop class then strength training
wednesday: belly dancing
thursday: belly dancing
friday: rest
saturday: strength
sunday: strength

i know i should be specific about what type of strength training exercises i will be doing so i'll work on that soon enough.

i'mmore excited about getting a swimsuit and going for a lap at the gym!

 

[kaliraksha]

i love dance classes... I can't wait to start workingout... endorphins and regulates your sleep... I hate tossing and turning at night... keep it up, islandblossom =)

10 minute stretching

3 reps of outer thighs

then swam in the pool for a little bit, sat in the jacuzzie then spend 10 minutes in the sauna.
