Callipygian Princesses Debut Thread

[Sugarbean]

Hello!

Just wanted to start a thread for people starting STS and trying to lose fat with whatever method works! Of course, everyone is welcome.

I am meant to do disc 3 (legs) tonight, so steeling myself for not being able to walk tomorrow.

I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning, 15 on the rowing machine, 15 jogging on the treadmill, and 15 on the elliptical, being careful to keep my HR at 140-150 for optimal fat loss, according to BFFM.

Still haven't tackled the part of BFFM that outlines exactly what you are supposed to be eating, but I am easing into.

Stacy, I agree with you about lean cuisines. The only good thing about them at this point is that they are not dominos . This weekend, I plan to work out what I need to be eating, so I don't "waste" all this exercise!

Janis, I appreciate the book suggestion, and I ordered the Schwarzbein principle book from the library, and it's waiting for me!

I can read the forum at work, but can't reply because it's blocked (I work on a military base).

I hope everyone has a wonderful night!

Lisa

Hi Lisa

Your cardio rotation sounds fantastic!!! Boy, I would love to have an elliptical or bike to change things up with, what a great way to hit all the muscles for a total body blast....plus keeping the heart rate up. Confession here - I have not been consistent with tracking my heart rate. I do have a treadmill and a rower, and now that you have inspired me, I will endeavor to get more rowing time in.

Today I ran on the TM for 40min, 4 miles. Tomorrow is D6 legs.

The diet/nutrition thing is a personal journey, what works for one does not necessarily work for all. I started with noticing the little things, my energy, mood, stable hormones, crashes etc... and bit by bit I discovered what feels right and good and works and what doesn't for me.

Glad you started the thread. Cheers.
Janis
