Day 3

I just finished today's workout. This one was tough. Tougher even than doing Day 1 and Day 2 back-to-back. But I did it and I'm relieved that it's done. My quads were a little bit sore today. Haven't really had that after workout burn in a long time.

It was kinda nice.

Until tonights workout. Tonight was a big reminder that these muscles haven't been worked out in a long time. I'm taking Brian's advice from my last post and trying not to think about the next 87 days and just focusing on today. Today's workout. There were some points in my sit-ups where I was just thinking about these 10 reps. Actually there were several sit-ups where all I could concentrate on was this one sit-up. When it was complete then I would think about the next sit-up.

The lunges tomorrow are going to be killer.

I was a little surprised that I didn't find myself too hungry today. It may be because I was distracted with work most of the day. I splurged on a coffee (with sugar and milk) this morning on the way in to work but haven't really had much to eat. And, I almost forgot, I passed on the starburst candies that were in a big bowl at work. It wasn't even hard. I heard Ren's voice (well, the voice I think Ren has) saying "f*ck that starburst!" Then I smiled and walked away. I see a lot of sugary snacks getting the same treatment in my future. Thanks, Ren!


P.S. I'm still in the "can't jump rope to save my life" camp. Did worse today than yesterday. Not looking forward to the jump rope marathon this weekend.

  1. Sister, while we are it we can also tell our jumpropes to f*ck the hell off -- do as you are commanded! UNDER the feet, behind the back, OVER the head, past the front, REPEAT endlessly in a smooth and rhythmical fashion ala those double-dutch high school champions on public tv.
    Passing on the sugary snacks: easy.
    Mastering the jumprope? ...grumble...

  3. Hi Pam, Good job passing on the candy at work. At times, where I work, there is mountains of free food and candy everywhere. It's pretty silly at times. This is a great challenge and opportunity!
