Special Delivery!

Look who I found sleeping on the scrap reno cloths??

The third cat, Clancy, was sleeping underneath some drop sheets on the floor. That crazy cat!

Sketchie can’t stop cleaning them both. I think they find it annoying after a while. lol.

I think we worked my brother too hard yesterday. lol.

He worked from 8:30am til about 1am. Now that’s what I’m talking about! We were up late again last night. Drill drill drill.

We treat him pretty good though, I’d say. :)

Look how green that lawn is!

Well if I was drained in yesterday’s workout because of lack of fuel, today I was drained because of lack of sleep! I only got about 6 hours max last night so I was really feeling sluggish on the treadmill this morning. I didn’t hit my ‘stride’ until 25 minutes! I hate when that happens. I kept turning the music up louder, and louder, and louder. lol.

Workout stats:

• Duration: 50 mins
• 3.6 mph, incline 15% (max)
• Max heart rate: 162 bpm
• Avg heart rate: 145 bpm
• Feel the burn: 424 kcals

Do you hold onto cardio equipment when you workout? You might want to re-think holding onto the cardio machine after you read this!

I did a little experiment today!

My heart rate was holding stead around 160 bpm (speed 3.6, incline 15%). I decided to hold onto the bar on the treadmill to see how much my heart beat dropped.

It dropped a whopping 30 beats per minute!!! Down to 130 bpm. WOW! Think about that next time you want to hold on.

To get the same amount of drop, I had to decrease my incline by 8%! I decreased the incline to 7% instead of 15% and it was around 130 bpm.

BBBC– If you are looking for the BBBC updates I am just posting them on the BBBC page right now- don’t worry they will still be there each day!

Any guesses???

Later today I am going to try one of the vegan cupcake recipes for our celebration dinner tonight! Today is going to be crazy busy I hope I can get it all done.

Have a lovely day! :D
