My right arm rocks

I guess that since I have been taking care of my muscles lately that they’re taking care of me. My arm isn’t sore at all!!! (See yesterday’s post if you have no idea what I’m talking about). I fell into bed about 10 last night and woke up at 5 this morning but refused to get out of bed. Surprisingly, I slept until almost 7, it felt great. I love waking up when the sun is shining and the house is quiet. I did my Sunday Chalean Extreme workout, the start of week 2 in the 2nd month. It’s hard to believe that at the end of this week I’ll be halfway through the program. I’m so glad that I decided to start the program when I got it instead of waiting until summer when there would be more time. There is going to be such a transformation in my body over the summer that I can’t wait (almost) for the new school year to start. I still haven’t heard anything about the job I interviewed for on the 16th but until I hear that someone else was offered the position I’m going to assume that I will get it.

I almost didn’t get on the scale this morning b/c I was so happy w/what I saw yesterday (226.0) that I didn’t want to take away that memory. But I did so good w/eating and obviously exercise yesterday that I figured the response would be good. Yes it was! Weight is 225.5 and body fat is 39.8%!! I can’t tell you the last time my body fat percentage was in the 30’s and 225 is exciting b/c it means I’m almost closer to 200 than 250. After the start to the week that I had I’m so pleased at any progress, let alone 2 pounds!

Today is going to be more work around the house until the kids come home. I just called my mom and Kyle is fever free (yay!!) so we may have a few more hours to work. Speaking of work, I had better get to it.

Progress toward workout goal: 15/300
On-plan food points: 50

    way to go on the arms, weight, and fat %! I have have noticed the same thing about the muscles. About a week ago I decided to do extra squats because I wanted to see how far I need to go to get that achey,can’t sit-on-the-toilet feeling again. Well apparently it’s more than 20 squats because the next day was somewhat stiff but not what I was trying to achieve. it’s pretty neat how well our bodies can recover. Do you take any supplements like BCAA fuel? I do. I think it might’ve been you who recommended it. I’m almost out and wondering if it’s really helping or a waste of money. Also, I did look into the Chalean stuff and it’s kind of expensive. Maybe I can find it cheaper, some other way.

    Congrats on your loss this week!

    Tell your scale to call my scale and to tell my scale to get its act together. Please. Thank you.
