Mags 2

So yesterday I got to the gym and worked out for half an hour and did my weight machines too. I took the advice of a friend who's into this stuff (work outs, I'm the nutritionist, heh) and she told me it's important to alternate days for muscle building because your muscles need at least a day to heal from the strength training (i.e., build). I knew it was recommended to wait a day between exercises like that, but I hadn't recalled the reaason why. Hmm. Thought that was a good thing to keep in mind. So when I went to the gym today I just did aerobic/cardio. Tomorrow morning I'll do my aerobic and muscle again. Anyway, I'm splitting time between the bike and the treadmill, too so that I work different parts of my body. Not ideal, I know, but I'm no good at those video things (although I have several). I'm cutting out dairy as much as possible now with the recital coming up so that may help some, but I really can't lose more than five pounds before my recital anyway- I still need to fit the dress we bought over x-mas. LOL So I just want to get into a routine right now and focus on maintaining and working off excess energy, not too concerned about loss at the moment. Would be nice, but I really don't want to go recital dress shopping again. That's my big goal for the next month- get toned, healthy, but don't stress about poundage. :)
