Recovery from the middle childs Birthday Week Long celebration has been pretty good.  I have eaten much better this week.  I have been busy at work and they have changed my hours back to 5 days a week.  So I am not working as long of a day.  I haven’t had time for breakfast so bulletproof coffee has been keeping me going.

Today is weigh in but the battery is dead on my scales.  I will try to pick some up and weigh in tomorrow.  I am very excited about the weekend. My husband decided to take the promotion at work so that will ease up my financial worries some.  

Push Circuit 2 & Ab burner was the workout today and I can definitely tell I am getting stronger.  I love this program!  Especially with the turbo jam hybrid.  I feel like I am getting a good balance of strength and cardio.

NSV- I went into a patient’s room that I saw just last month and they acted shocked at how much smaller I was.  I don’t think I have lost that much weight since the last time I have seen them but maybe my body has changed.  I did get into a pair of 16 pants this week.  Remember I started at a tight 22.  Woohoo!

My anxiety with work has really taken a toll on me. I missed some of my workouts last week then we went to a ball tournament and I fell completely off the keto wagon.  I went back to my old way of eating.  I feel like crap.  I got up to do my workout and it was horrible.  I feel like I have undone all my hard work.

Yesterday I did Burn Circuit 2 and I learned what muscle failure felt like.  Today I woke up and discovered what muscle soreness from muscle failure the day before felt like.  I hit the snooze button for thirty minutes which was dangerous because today’s workout was going to be over an hour long.  I started my exercise very frustrated because I have been working long hours and then had some activity every night plus trying to keep up with kids and household chores, I am tired. 

Burn intervals.... I liked them... I modified some.  The recovery period was hard because my arms were so sore.  5lb weights felt like 50... I did the aerobic part slower.  Abs... let’s just say I have put them in the category with my pushups.  I want to be able to do them so badly... My body is just being resistant.  I think the Abs will get better as fat comes off of them because right now they have a lot to crunch over.
