It's been flooding all over SE Ohio and the river is higher than I've seen it maybe ever. We've had bursts of sunshine this week but also torrential rain (which has been rough on the "new" front lawn in Cinci!) and so it hasn't been the best week to play outside. Howeva' spring is here & everything is greener and the bikepath is a great place to be.... Polly & I walked earlier tonight while my car's oil was being changed.
I keep listening to the Fit2Fat radio podcast while I walk/run the bike path and learn about the most common prob's people encounter with weight lost: 1) eating below their basal metabolic rate 2) losing lean muscle while their bodies are eating below their basal metabolic rate. Yep, these two things cause good intentions to result in bad results. So in some cases, for weight loss plateaus, the recommended advise is "Eat up pup!" A neat resource for calculating your BMR is here: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/
Hit the Community Center tonight for a half hour run & some pull-ups (with the help of the pull-up machine) and also some stomach/back strengthening weight machines. I had been doing some crunches on my exercise ball in the am & pm this week & found that my posture was beginning to go south. Duh! I've got to work out my muscles in pairs. So I'll be laying my tum on the ball and doing reverse crunches now too.
It's Cadberry egg season so hop to the gym & then eat one with a glass of milk or protein shake. :)
