Yesterday the preacher curl bicep machine was busy so I did the free weight version with the preacher bench and curl bar, with just 7.5 lbs loaded per side, but let me tell you, I can definitely feel the effects today! I love it.
I did as I said and did zero cardio yesterday, unless you count the endless pacing around at our first swim meet (see Martin Family Blog). It was a fun time despite the fact that I am terrible at waiting around at things like that. The boys were amazing!
Today I have tennis in the AM and a tennis social in the PM and will swim, do my core worksheet, and stretch in between. I want to run, but am thinking I should save myself for my 6-miler I want to do tomorrow AM.
I'm still keeping my food log, but it keeps showing me in the 1300 calorie range, which tells me I should be losing more weight. I wonder what the margin for error is. I'm trying to be accurate with portions sizes, even pulling out my postal scale here and there. SparkPeople sent this out today; I like the visuals:
| A Single Serving | Is About this Size… |
| 3 ounces of meat | Deck of cards |
| 1 ounce of nuts | Ping pong ball |
| 1/2 cup cooked beans | Tennis ball |
| 1 egg | Stick shift knob |
| 2 tbsp. nut butter | Golf ball |
