Summer body: Week 5 - seeing progress!

-
I'm going to say... progress starts to show up around week 3-4 depending on extent of workouts and of course how you eat as well. But, consistency is definitely key.

 This is my abs pictures from the beginning of Week 4. ABS are peeking through! And I haven't been doing much ab work, although I have increased my cardio - been adding about 10 mins of cardio after lifting sessions & also sometimes doing quick cardio bursts in between sets.

Furthermore, with lifting heavy and deadlifting, I'm made some back definition! heh was surprised when I was trying to tie up my hair and noticed my back. Awesome.

haha wow today I spent quite a bit of time on Pinterest organizing my old likes and boards. It's one of those sites that really suck up your time because you invested so many things you want to save for a future project or for your future in general. But the one disadvantage is that I've collected so many things that I pinned to look at later, which I have forgotten. I want to kind of get into a habit of looking back at them (while not wasting too much time) and bringing them out into action.

Tuesday Drank a fruity, carby smoothie for energy and went to gym to do volume squat training & squat jumps in between sets. Manfriend said doing cardio in between sets is helpful for burning fat. Ok fine you convinced me. Fanny pack was a great idea Wednesday The day was glorious and not too hot. For fasted cardio I tried to jog around my block; I looked up the distance and realized if I jogged up and down 5x = 1 mile. Buttt, I absolutely am not a fan of cardio so after doing that twice decided to instead just fast walk around the neighborhood. haha I found a lavender bush along the way! :)) going to make a natural bug/spider repellent with the sprigs I collect >:) PM workout: did back & bicep lifting sesh then 10 mins of cycling
