Day Nine

December 9, 2008
Tuesday

I had plans to meet up with my dad’s girlfriend, Ginny, tonight at 7pm. I knew it was going to be pushing it to get the workout in. Just as I was changing into my exercise clothes, Ginny called and said that she was ready now, if we wanted to go early. It was about 6:20pm. So, I had to put off the workout until I got back.

We went to “Ladies’ Night” at a local jewelry store. Although everything was really well done, we did consume some fattening hors d'oeuvres and glasses of wine. Not nearly as much as last Wednesday, but still, drinking before the workout is hindering.

I got back home much later than I thought I would, so I found myself pushing play on the circuit workout at 9:40pm. Not at all what I intended (I am usually in bed about 10pm). I did it full out, though. I did not give myself a break. I am still concentrating on perfecting the movements and I did the entire thing from start to finish. The pushups and arm dips and still with bent knees, but honestly, I don’t know if that will ever change. We will see as time goes on.

I have been noticing that the soreness is going away, and I think that it is completely gone. I feel my mindset changing. I am a competitive person and now I am at the point that I want to conquer Power 90. I am looking forward to doing cardio and abs tomorrow and becoming closer and closer to move to the next phase. I was barely able to do any of this when I started and now I am looking at the possibility of moving to the next phase. The first couple of days, I didn’t think I would ever be ready to leave Phase I – II. I thought that would be the next 90 days. I now I am not ready to move forward quite yet, but I can see the changes and that it could and will happen. Also, I am considering 5 pound weights.

I am pretty proud of my progress so far – mind and body.
