Off Day: Day of total rest…used it to catch up on a bunch of stuff. Was gonna press on Lambada without a break, but thought otherwise. I am pretty much on course right now, but that doesn’t mean anytime for taking a break, coming week will be a push…really looking forward to working out, now that the cold is completely gone. Falling back on my sleep a bit, have to do better there; my eating on the other hand is doing quite well.

This is equivalent to Day 13 on program on the Lambada Program; Day 27 on the “Pathâ€.  Another good workout day, almost no effects of the cold…body is getting back to normal.  I feel as though muscle density is increasing, but waist layer is proving a big more stubborn.  Since you can’t target, I will just have to continue overall conditioning.
