I have continued to work on my yogi poses. :) I'm not progressing yet but I think it's important to keep on it and train my muscles. I have progressed from holding my knees on my elbows to floating my knees in the air. Eventually I will be able to hold my legs up for more than 20 seconds. The back bend... Well that has a very long way to go. I can't really lift my head off the floor yet. My arm muscles aren't strong enough!
This week I focused on upping my protein intake so every day I was, give or take a few, 111 grams. I felt so much more awake and energized. I slept better. I was more pumped for workouts. My attitude was better. I wonder if I have been needing more lean protein all along! I always felt like I ate enough (then I upped it when I started dieting) but TIU recently informed me via their Protein calculator that I need 111 grams per day! I was averaging about 70 so it was quite a jump and I feel amazing.
Anyway, for fit Friday I wanted to express my excitement for the TIU bikini series! On Wednesday we did 45 minutes of HIIT (I did it on the elliptical, level 5 for moderate pace and level 8 for harder pace) and we also did Sunkissed Abs routine X3. Then on Thursday we did 30 minutes of cardio (I did 30 minutes on the elliptical as well as 30 cycling) plus the bikini strap workout X3. Loving it!!
