Good Morning,
Friday I did CE Burn Circuit 2. I had read a lot of reviews about it that say that it can be tough on the back, and it was, indeed. I tried to be very careful as not to overdo it, since I've had back issues on one side in the past. It's a tough but good workout. In the evening I joined some friends that I had not seen for a while for coffee, which was quite nice.
Saturday I did a 15-min JS w/o, the Power Pick Up walk from 15 Fast Fat Blasts, but my real workout for the day was shopping. My weight gain has meant a muffin top and ill-fitting clothes, so I while I was out running errands I stopped off to return something at a store and found they had a decent-sized dress collection. Over an hour later of walking back and forth to try on A LOT of dresses
, I found a few (looser) ones that I can wear to work that should help until I'm able to fit back into my summer clothes.
I did the JS walk later in the evening and made it to over 12,500 for the day.
Sunday I took the day off, mostly. I realized that if I'm going to go hard with the Chalean Extreme workouts during the week, then I'll need a day off. I'm behind a bit on the rotation, but I've decided that that's ok. As long as I'm doing it, I'm going to cut myself some slack as needed. Also, I found that I had lost 2.4 lbs when I did my weigh-in yesterday, so I was pretty excited about that.
I think that the weight (and this extra weight is a product of stress/over eating for the last 2 months, so I'm not expecting it to stick around) will come off, I'm just going to have to stick to my regimen and be patient.
Unfortunately, I have a lot of work that needs to get done this morning, but I'm planning to get in a CE workout later today.
SB - Great job with your outside walk!
Like you, I'm better off when I can get my workout done first thing in the morning. I wish I could do that this morning. I hope that you enjoyed the bridal shower and dinner with friends.
Yeah, one of my coworkers is perpetually problematic (and, if you ask me, evil
) and she is ultimately behind the riff that occurred between the two on Friday. That is why these problems are recurring and exhausting to have to deal with.
In better news, my DOMS seems to be over, and I'm very glad about that. Have a great day!
