After all the advice I was working out too many days I relooked at my goals. I am trying to shift the fat not put on huge amounts of muscle.

According to Fitday I have 3.8lbs to shift per week to get to my target by the end of the challenge; which is a huge amount. As much as I workout at the gym it is inevitable that a small amount of that will be muscle.

Therefore keeping my body stress free ideally should be my aim, hence the rest day midweek. Still 4 workouts per week on a split routine but Wed off and the weekend off too. Used this morning to plan next weeks shopping list :-)

My legs are still aching from mondays workout and my upper body was aching lots when I woke up this morning. At least it feels like it working :-)
