Day 2 of Body for Life

Today I had to figure out how to do 20-minute high intensity interval training (as mandated by my BFL book) with my wobbly knees. I ended up doing the cardio from Cathe Friedrich's 4-Day Split: Lower Intensity Step workout. I don't know if it was high intensity enough, but I did move back to a 4" step (rather than just the MatStep I've been using lately) so it bumped up the intensity a bit that way. I still wish I had a stationary bike to do some of these HIIT workouts.

Tomorrow is supposed to be lower body, but I haven't gotten the go-ahead from my physical therapist to do lower body weights yet. I may do the floorwork premix from Cathe's Butts & Guts workout.

As for eating, I've been doing a pretty good job at that, though I confess two slip-ups today--first when I had apple dipped in natural peanut butter during one of my mini-meals, I ate a little extra peanut butter. Man, I love that stuff. I also had a Werner's hard candy. But just one. So, could be worse. And wow, it's so much better so far than my failed attempt to do the South Beach Diet. I get to eat some carbs! Healthy, fiber-y ones, yes, but still carbs! Hoorah!

Soon I'll post my BFL rotation here, once I work it out for a few weeks in advance.
