142.2 this morning due to Pie Fest and the early start of TTOM.

Goodbye to scale movement for the next 7 days! I expect to be legitimately 139/19% bf on the Omron at the end of next week though. I am already noticing that the uber-cute pants I made myself last week are starting to feel a bit baggier in the hip area. I should have made them a size smaller since I knew I’d be leaning out over the next three months. Hrmph.

I’ve decided to switch to a three day lifting routine with my 5k run training on non-lifting days to maximize my energy for my runs. Currently, two out of three of my runs are scheduled to be done immediately after hour-long lifting sessions when I am tired, fasted, and completely out of glycogen, and this just isn’t working for me. I’m leaning toward the routine I used for Femgenix as it is fast (usually takes me under 35 minutes per session), kicks my ass, and made my arms and shoulders look faboo when I did it in 2005.

Nutrition was on plan yesterday outside of the pie cheat, and this morning’s chest and arms plus 30 minutes on the elliptical are done. Food is packed for today, and water consumption is up to 5 cups already.
