You've got that right, carved! I've been pushing through it, but boy, I'm tired of it lately. The good news is that when it's not that time, the weight seems to melt right off by comparison! Good luck on your way to onderland - how exciting!!!!

ShrinkingAmy: Way to go for continuing to exercise and log, even knowing that you won't meet the goal you set this month!! It's so easy to just say "oh, I'm not going to make it, so I'll take it easy until next month." Continuing to push is as big of an accomplishment as reaching the goal. :)

Yay ShrinkingAmy for pushing through to the end. Even in the months that I don't meet my goal, that end of month push starts the next month off well.

It's mathematically possible for me to meet my goal in April, so I'm still going for it.

I am going to watch my food today I think I need to eat more during the day. I hope I can get through strength tonight after cardio. The last tow nights I've been really weak and jittery. Plan to do both daily for the rest of the week & hopefully I'll loose those couple pounds :D

I was definitely more energetic today! I managed to get in two workouts, which I've never done before, and I met my April exercise minutes goal - yay!!! Maybe now I deserve a rest day, lol. But probably not tomorrow. :)

MsP: Awesome on the C25K!! Is DS still enjoying it?

carved: I can never do strength after cardio - I am too beat (and too sweaty!). I always have to do strength first, and then cardio if I have enough time.
