Quick post for today...

Woke up at 6am to my alarm.. and fell back asleep. Was wayyy too sore (and cold) to get up and do my workout. I'll do it after work... Zzzzz

Got up and showered and when I was finished Valen had breakfast ready for me. :) Eggs, bacon, sausage.. mmm..

Went to work.. was still in vacation mode so I didn't rush to work.. was 5 minutes late but i was like.. meh. it's all cool. I'm in a good mood.

Did some work. yep..

10:30 - did my stretch break.. and ate snack of half avocado and baby carrots.. we know this already.

went back to work shortly..

by around 11am i drank 2 liters of water and had gone to the bathroom to #2 at least twice. I'm back in the game!

ate lunch at my usual time 1:30pm... I had stir fry chicken thigh and shrimp with veggies seasoned in salt, pepper, chili and lime. good stuff.

drank more water.. and went bathroom a dozen more times.. I feel thoroughly cleansed. mmmhmm.

took my 2nd stretch break at 3:45pm... and ate the remaining avocado and carrots..

then came home.. and went #2 again.. apparently the carride gave me the 4th urge today.. Again. I am feeling cleansed as all hell. this is a great feeling.

Water is magical. so are squats and crouching..

I did my workout like i promised... i did Chalean Extreme - Burn Intervals.. Same as "Get Lean Intervals" but a little different and tiddle bit less extreme. Finished off with "I've Got Abs" video and some extracurricular stretching and yoga.

Woke up today and my hands were a tid bit puffy.. but it didn't feel tingly or numb at all. and my feet felt just fine.. so im guessing now it's probably just lifting stress? lol~~ and probably the finger stretching helped.. :)

workouts today: 

Chalean Extreme - Lean Circuit 3.. if anyone's following along, basically I'm past beyond the 3 months, and now into "month 5" which i put together myself using "Lean For Life Phase" as an example.. basically it's mixing all videos into one week. Burn. Push. Lean. ~~Today I upped my game again. :3 I love looking at my guidebook and seeing the progress from 10lb bicep curls to 20lbs!

stretch break 1: used the portable resistance bands to do some rows, curls, deltoids, shoulders, and triceps. then some "fun squats".. squat and hip kick. it's from Turbo Jam.. it's super fun. :)

stretch break 2: sitting all day is no.. did a lot of lower body stretches.. squats.. yoga poses: warrior 1 and 2, reverse warrior, crescent, right angle.. then did like 8 push-ups to side planks.

hang with mr. cooper: you read that right! my pull-up bar is named Mr. Cooper! did hanging for 40 seconds and 25 seconds.. chinups 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1.. for a total of 14! then assisted pull "downs" 3. I'm having better and better form on the chinups. :)

eats:

breakfast: valen didn't feel like making breakfast.. but i had denny's leftover from last night.. half the philly cheesesteak omelette. and a banana.

snack: half avocado and baggie of carrots

lunch: went out to jack in the box for 2 jumbo jacks w/no bun and extra lettuce. no dressing..
