Day 4: Ups and Downs

Well, I think I have everything together, FINALLY! I had figured my calorie strategy, but hadn't figured out the workout. Well, I have decided that I am going to pretty much keep my same rotation, however, I am going to lift much heavier than originally planned. I think that the more muscle that I gain, the more fat I will burn.

I had gotten everything together, regarding lifting heavy, so I asked Angel about it. She said that lifting heavy would be fine, BUT, I have to be careful because I gain muscle easily. So that bummed me out a little. Basically because I thought that I had everything together, only to find out that I may need to change things. But I have been chatting with the ladies over at Buffmother and since I do tend to gain muscle easier, it was suggested that I do more cardio in the form of HIIT to burn fat. That sounds like a perfect solution to me, and I am going to go with that!

I have been continuing with the cleanser and it is going okay. With juice, the blend tastes much better, but it is still yucky! It's just drinkable. I am still not weighing. My face looks pretty thin still and my skin is really clearing up, so that is excellent side effect. That was the other thing that I wanted to look good for the finale - My skin! Typically Proactive works really well, but I didn't expect my skin to clear up like this. Kewl beans!

So, it appears that I have a plan and I am ready to proceed forward with it. I didn't do so hot today with calories. I started out later and took the spinning class, so I completely forgot about eating. I only ate 3 times and probably about 1300 calories. :( I plan to do better going forward, although I will be just as busy tomorrow.
