I think I'm ready to add some weight to my bench press load! I'll start that next week. I wish like hell I could take some off the biceps curl, but I won't since I can actually do it. It's just hard!!! Doing BFL makes me realize how wimpy my workouts used to be! I remember, when I was hardcore Atkins, reading the BFL book and thinking, "I could never eat that way - all those carbs!! And that weight lifting! No way!!" I really don't know what made me look into BFFM a few months ago, but that book changed the way I look at food and exercise, and I was able to think I could actually do a BFL challenge. I do love it! I certainly don't have it down perfect, but I am very pleased with my meals, and I love the workout. I to miss certain aspects of Atkins, particularly Linda Sue's recipes. I need to think Atkins on my free day. I think that will help me stay away from the junk. I need to keep reminding myself that it's not Free Day, it's Atkins Day.
Food was pretty good yesterday. I also went through the BFL site and got some great recipes for lunches and breakfast. I'll post reviews as I make them.
