Re-Introducing HIIT cardio

Fuck sweating bullets, I STILL have shotgun shells pouring out of me and I've already showered. I've re-introduced High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) cardio into my workouts with jump rope, I'm up to 30 seconds on 20 seconds off for what I'm ramping up to 17 intervals tomorrow. Despite the short duration of the sessions, they're very effective in working up a sweat and hitting your target heart rate. As well, HIIT will increase your EPOC which is essential for those trying to burn fat. EPOC or Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption, is the body's oxygen deficit post-workout. The greater the EPOC the more fat your body will keep burning due to the tissues demanding the deficit be paid.

On another awesome note, I checked my weight this morning for the first time in a few weeks and guess what? I've surpassed 200 pounds! :D I am now sitting at 201 and am pretty content for the moment. Though I don't know how long  it will last. Since I have re-introduced the cardio training, the number may in fact go down. Though I am pretty lean, judging by past numbers and memory of what I looked like, I would say that I am sitting around 13 percent sub-cutaneous fat mass. Being fairly decent, I still maintain my goal at 9% by July. And I believe I will set my goal weight at 210. 

Just as well, today marks the 6th month I have been dating the wonderful Jaunty Lisa. I am taking her to the Works tonight where I will forget that I am aiming for a 9% body composition for the evening.
