First Week of Routines

I have worked up 100 reps a day for my first intense week. I do 10X10 of intense exercises, choosing from the many things Charlie James does in her routines. Next week I'll go to 150 or 200 reps, depending on how easy or difficult I find the end of this week:)

I am also keeping up on my indoor bike, trying to increase the minutes--though they're extremely low right now. My bike is new, but cheap, and the resistance is pretty significant, though I'm sure I will be glad for that in the long run. I put my ab arm hanging bands in the car to stop at the kids jungle gym at least 4 tmes this week.

I also wrote down check boxes for each set of ten exercises and for each glass of water for the week. I put a snack, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. I have to work on actually eating something for breakfast. I'm a grazer. But I put check boxes for these as well. I plan to hit at least 95% of all boxes.

Lastly, I'm trying to keep my calories below 1600. I have very small bones but heavy, dense muscles, so I've always weighed more than I looked, even when people called me willowy. I, however, weigh around 160, though I wear a 9-10. But this weight is harder on my body. I don't feel good, though I feel better than I did 2 weeks ago when I first bought the bike. My goal weight is 145. Then I will reevaluate.
