Day 43

Hmmm... what do you say night after night when you have worked out???? Guess I will have to start thinking of other things to write about!

I did upper body after finishing the elliptical. I am already noticing a difference in my arms, can't wait until the muscles start to stand out more. One thing I am really looking forward to is my collar bone standing out again, I've missed that the last few years!

Day 42

Still chugging along, getting easier every day though. My thighs are really the only muscle group that is still protesting loudly, although even they are calming down a lot. I really don't mind the soreness throughout the day, it just helps remind me of how far I have gone.

I did a number of different squats tonight, also increased how many I did. My balance is already improved, must be doing something right.

I am going to start training for the 5km race tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how long I can run for.

Day 41

Another workout done, another step closer to that bikini! I feel so good after a workout, not tired, or sore, just a wonderful glow... I wish I could carry that feeling around all day with me! I'm thinking I need to learn how to meditate, it might just help me keep this glow all day.

I did upper body today as well, added a new arm exercise as well. I also increased some of the moves from 2 sets of 10, to 2 sets of 12. I know it's not a huge increase, but it is an increase.

Oh, I will not be weighing myself until Friday morning. The weight loss has slowed down a bunch (which is a good thing), and I don't want to get discouraged when I don't see a loss every day.

Day 38

Another late one due to the Internet access issue.

Day 39 & Day 40

I didn't get a workout in yesterday. We had two late showings for the house, so I made the decision to stay out at my Mom's for the night. Being that we are at Grandma's, the boys were really rather difficult to get to bed. With that I wasn't even able to get a walk in like I had hoped for.

Today I am back in the house, but not feeling all that great. Could be I am getting a cold, not that surprising considering all the stress I have been under. Or, I am just overtired and worn out from a combo of stress, and very little poor sleep the last two nights... all caused by the three little boys.

I am about to have a neo citron, and hope it allows me a chance to sleep. As long as I feel well enough tomorrow I will be back on track... I don't like not working out now, it just doesn't feel right.

Day 37

Little late getting this on, the internal network in the house was down while he removed his office stuff.
