Days 19 and 21

Day 19 - The 25th. After working out on the 24th, I went outside to transplant a baby tree that sits on our front porch. After getting it transplanted, I happened to look over at the garden and saw how overpopulated it was with weeds - so I fixed it. After an hour and a half of being bent over yanking weeds out of the ground, the backs of my legs and lower back were KILLING me. Want a good workout? Weed a garden. Seriously. The next day was my long day at the library, and there are stairs I have to take the stairs to get to where I need to be. I claimed the stairs as my workout, then came home and decluttered the house - more stairs. By the time I went to bed, I had gone up and down a flight of stairs 30 times. My legs are still on fire from that, but ya know what? I got up and did my TurboFire this morning!

Day 21 - Welcome to a brand new day! I have gotten laundry going, baked a cake, done my HIIT workout for the day, and am now sitting here drinking my vanilla/blueberry/banana shake! I also have a whiny kitty at my feet, because she's not getting played with.
I have a hard time keeping up with Chalene and her crew, but today, I was able to find a little inner strength and push myself. Any time I'd head toward the couch, I wouldn't let myself sit down - stay standing during these workouts, or you won't get back up to continue, trust me. I was able to do two full intervals out of the three this time - the first and the last, and I still tried to keep up during the middle one, but just couldn't breathe. My cardiovascular system isn't up to all three yet, but that's ok - I'm getting there! My arms, and legs are jello, and my abs are sore - but that's good! It's fat and inability leaving the body.

I raise my shake to those of you who have found the will to at least try! I promise, once you get started, it's hard to quit. For those of you who aren't, what's stopping you? I've been at this off and on for 2 weeks. When I started, I weighed 124 and felt like crap - constantly tired, always stressed with no end in sight. Ya know what? I'm down to 121, and my stomach looks like this: Keep moving forward!
