Day 2 of the Hormone Diet Exercise Prescription

Yesterday's workout with weights didn't leave me as sore as I expected, considering I've not done a lot of strength work recently.  I was glad today wasn't a strength day, though.

My scale tells me I lost the 2 pounds I'd gained sitting around watching it snow.  Probably not due to the workout, but glad to see the numbers moving in the right direction.

Today's workout was cardio.  If you remember, the big change in the cardio routine is to go with interval training rather than longer workouts at a steady pace.  So, I skated across the icy parking lot to the fitness center and set the recumbent bike on interval mode.   Yep...it is definitely more work than a steady-state workout.  30 minutes and my clothes were soaked with sweat.   When it's 20 degrees out, that's a pretty good workout.

Tomorrow is Strength Day #2 -- I think it's legs and core, but it may be arms.  I'll check before the morning.

The one thing that is nice is that these workouts are only 30 minutes long.  I have a hard time making excuses that I don't have 30 free minutes (especially right now when there's not much else to do because of all the snow on the ground).  And, since the fitness center is open 24 hours, I can't make excuses if I work late, either.
