It is after 9 p.m. and I have not yet blogged!
Time just slipped away from me today.
I am on a bit of a break from teaching this week since the recital was Sunday and fall term is starting next week.
So I have been focusing on my belly.
Yes I have become quite OCD about my belly!
I started the day reading a very interesting article about building muscle and burning fat. My friend "R" who is quite the bodybuilder approved of it. But he warned me it is for serious bodybuilders.

I told him I am quite serious.
So serious that I went to the gym and rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes followed by 15 minutes on the treadmill.
Today I focused on cardio. My research tells me (and I have read this before in my early years of weight training) that it is important to give the muscles a rest in between workouts.
Today I rested from weights.
But I asked my son-in-laws advice on melting fat from the abdominal area. He popped right up and led my daughter and I through some fun but grueling routines that he learned in his wrestling days.
So the new plan is 3 days weight training at the gym. 5 days cardio, gym or walking, running, biking. Plus core training at home.
And belly walking and dancing in my kitchen!
Watch out abs I am coming for you.
And I am showing no mercy!
Happy Wednesday!
