Finally feeling 100%

Day #18
January 20, 2009
(12 days to the Super Bowl)

I know I am not supposed to weigh myself more than weekly, but I just couldn't help it this morning. Yesterday I ate close to perfectly, got in over six cups of water, and worked out. And I am glad I did because I am 152 this morning! Also, I could swear my stomach looks slightly flatter.

I was definitely under the weather the other day. During yoga, I was correcting myself and working on a perfect push-up, which was not at all what I was doing on Sunday.

For the first time, my feet didn’t hurt. Usually my feet get sore during the jumping jacks and it just continues through the rest of the routine. Not this time, it was just my calves. Which is also normal. Made it through the jumping jacks again, but was pretty tired during the x-work and kickboxing. I keep increasing my cross hops with each work out, though, which is good.

I realized tonight how difficult it is to do the Abs 100. My abdominals are definitely getting stronger and I can even feel them through the flab now, but I still cannot get through the Abs 100. I am just not strong enough to do all of the stuff with the legs. I feel like half of the workout is just lost on me because I am just not strong enough to do it. Of course, I still give it a go every time and I have seen some minor improvements, but very, very minor.
