St. Patty's Day

Mmmm... tonight will be a bad food night for me! Corned beef & cabbage...and soda bread...and pie! Oh, and I'm sure there will be drinking. I need it though!
I made it to my third Body Pump of the week yesterday. I can feel it, three times in one week is hard work, but I think it will be worth it! Next week will be hard to make it three times. I'm working more during the day (to prepare for Easter) and I know for sure that I can make it on Monday & Wednesday. But there are no times Friday or Saturday, so if they have one on Easter Sunday, I'm going to have to force myself to go. I feel stronger already and have already started to add weights on, so I don't want to start taking breaks again.
Thursday I was able to run 2.5 miles without my knee hurting, so tomorrow I plan on doing an hour of cardio and do as much running in that hour as I can. If the knee pain is gone for good, then I will be well on my way to getting back to were I was a couple years ago.

Sound's like you're doing awesome. I too can really notice the difference when I go to bodypump three times. I love it. And it burns tons more calories than I thought! It is so worth it. But, like I mentioned, I am in a sore-stage most of the week. And it is slightly difficult to get three in each week, because of scheduling difficulties. But it's great that you're trying!

YAY!! your knee is better! I find it hard to go to body pump twice a week, so way to go on the 3 times. When are we going to see you again? Karrie said you asked why I show up as Ishikawa18 on your comments - that's because you don't allow anonymous comments so I have to sign in as my email address and I don't get a chance to call myself anything else.

Interesting. Obviously I don't know what my own settings are!
