I'm Back!!! 6 Week Hard Body Challenge

It has only been four days since my "regroup" but I feel amazing. I had hoped to start fresh with a Monday workout - but it was Thanksgiving. That is some willpower I just don't f-ing have! I have tweeked my work out plan slightly, and started on Wednesday. I am doing a "self-inflicted 6 week hard body challenge" - my new plan is as follows:

2D. dumbbell chest fly 12 reps

As you can see, there are a lot less "F**K MEs" in the second and third workouts, as I have yet to try them. I am not looking forward to tomorrow morning - but I have goals to reach. I am not weighing or measuring myself until the 6 weeks are done and can't wait to see how I turn out.

I made my chia pudding tonight (woo!) to have for dessert with tomorrow's tuna salad (tuna, spinach, green onion, tomato, avocado) and cottage cheese with fruit. I feel like I am getting back to basics and refocusing on my goals. I even juiced on Monday!

I am off to bed now, climbing the stairs one at a time, pausing 30 seconds on each one. My legs are burning. My knees are bucking. My back is aching. I think I need to speak with Marek about installing a stair-chair lift in the condo. I'm living up to my nickname of "Grandma"...
