I'm relieved to finally be moving down, albeit slowly. I know from reading other people's journals that this isn't all that unusual, but you start to feel like it's never going to end.
The heat saps my energy and I've been working too much again. Yeah, trouble saying "NO." After this week, work will be back to normal. I started a new workout (off YouTube) that really kicked my fanny. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to continue with it. It feels great to challenge myself and use different muscles, but if I still feel it 3 days later and just in the back of my left calf, then I'm dealing with my longstanding spinal issues. I try not to immediately veto things that exacerbate my back issues, as long as I can still function.
So, I'll give it another go tonight. Here's to being able to do an additional set by next week. The video has you doing four sets of 7 separate exercises and I was only able to survive TWO sets, lol.
Have a good Tuesday.

Congrats on the weight going down & the increase in your exercise -- hope it's a good sore and not a re-injury. xoxox

CONGRATS!! Boy, do I know how you feel! So happy for you. Keep up the good work(outs!). Don't overdo it and get too sore, but keep moving. That really helps, although I still believe that we lose weight in the kitchen and firm up at the gym (or on youtube!). XOX

Thanks, ladies. I'm about to start the video. Hope I don't throw up! I get breathing so hard, it's hard to catch my breath. Good thing I don't have asthma!

At least you did 2 sets (that is 2 more than I did). Keep up the good work.

Don't look at how far you have to go. Look at how far you have come. Make permanent eating changes and the rest will happen, trust the process! :)
