Woohoo! Finally showed a loss. It could just be because low-calorie means I'm taking in less sodium but let's hope that's not it and that this is a real 1.6 lost. ;)

Today at the gym was awesome. Some days your get up and go has got up and went, and some days you just have it. Today was a "have it" day and I have to wonder if taking 1000mg of L-Glutamine right before my workout wasn't the reason. I have a hard time remembering to take it in the locker room. It's supposed to help you lift more and I know I did that. On the weight assisted chin-up I was able to do 3 sets of 10 reps each - a record for me. That means I can change the weight to make it harder and move on. I was able to do the same with the weight assisted dip. Progress baby!

Anyway, did 45 minutes of weights, 30 minutes on the crossramp elliptical (and had more energy - woohoo!), and 25 minutes of walking on the treadmill. FitDay says 315 calories and boy am I bushed!

Shake it, move it, work it! Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!

I'm trying a bit of calorie cycling again to keep my body guessing, so today's menu calls for about 1500 calories.
