Great!!!! I think it was multi-factor...a bit of rest helps, kind of like tapering, and weights do help, I think Mostly you are not tired.

Yeah, I think you are right. I think my husband is enjoying my weight training program because I'm not so tired. During my triathlon training the weekends consisted of 60 miles bike on Saturday and 10-13 mile run on Sunday's. I was spent. It took all I could muster to drag my booty into the shower. During some of my heaviest training, I was in a state of being overtrained. One time, hubby told me he didn't like what I was making for dinner because it contained mushrooms. I almost beat him with the meat mallet I was using to pound chicken breasts.

But, whoa-oh. I have turned over a new leaf. I'm not so bitchy and tired anymore. I'm paying more attention to diet so I'm eating more healthy. I have energy to spare so I'm probably a better person to be around.(more fun to hubby) Yesterday, when I came home from my bike ride, my hubby bought me a Halloween treat. This was on my pillow just because he said he loves me.

I decided to try something new for dinner tonight. I've been stuck with turkey breasts, chicken breasts and salmon. I'll report on the taste later.

Pumpkin, Turkey and White Bean Chili

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 chopped onion
1 chopped orange pepper
1 chopped red pepper
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds extra lean ground turkey
1 can of Rotel chili seasoned diced tomatoes
1 can of Del Monte diced tomatoes w/jalepenos
1 can of tomato soup
2 cans of water
2 cups of canned pumpkin
1 can of white northern beans
2 tablespoons of chili powder
1/2 tsp.cumin



Where can I go to find out the nutritional content of a recipe? Fitday?

Dude, the chili was rockin'! Even better the next night.

Did HIIT cardio and chest and tri's yesterday. Some guy I hadn't seen for awhile told me I was looking cut and lean. He said I looked "thicker" a few months ago. Then asked how many calories I burn per workout.

I don't know but Cardio Breeze makes me work like a manic. I almost need a change of clothes after my 35 min. high intensity cardio because I am sweating like a champ.

Yeah Cardio Breeze will do that!!! Always helps me out. Works better when you use it for awhile and then don't use it for awhile.... back and forth.

On Tuesday, I decided my last quad exercise would be jump squats. My entire self was pretty whipped at this point.

I grabbed the olympic bar and started with 20#. Could feel some burning but decided I had more. So, I added another #15. I should have thought about this again when I struggled to get the bar and weights up and on my shoulders. I pounded out another 15 jump squats.

I was real tired now and when I tried to lift the bar back over my head and I couldn't. I was stuck. I sat down on the bench and thought if I rested for a moment, I'd have enough power left to get the bar off my shoulders.

Some guy was watching me and was more than happy to come to my rescue and remove the bar. I learned a lesson. I will wait until the squat rack is free before I increase weight for squat jumps.
