The beginning of week three! After a long day out and about and a two-hour drive home, I wasn't exactly looking forward to working out. I just wanted to eat my dinner and unpack... but I worked out despite myself and I totally brought it! I'm up to the heaviest resistance band that I own (I'm not sure how heavy it is, but I was definitely feeling the burn) and I did some of the push-ups on my toes!! Plus, I increased the weight on everything else... I pushed it so hard! I felt awesome. It might not sound major, but these are improvements for me! I'm happy to see some improvements. I was worn out by the end and my arms still feel like overcooked spaghetti... but I'm glad I pushed so hard even though I didn't feel like working out at all! Sometimes I think those workouts are the most satisfying- when you really don't want to workout at all yet you do anyways and you totally push yourself. I love it. I'm not seeing any change on the scale but I can feel my body changing, which is exciting! I can see minor differences and it makes me anxious to see how major those changes might become eventually. Or WILL become eventually because I'm not gonna stop pushing myself to make the changes happen!
I stuck to my diet very closely today, following my chips and salsa binge last night ;] I ate all my portions and nothing extra. I'm becoming very fond of drinking my recovery drink while working out, it helps quite a bit. Other than that, nothing is new with the diet... My appetite is back a little bit but not completely. I went almost four hours today without eating and didn't even realize it until I started to mentally sum up what I had left for portions on the day. Haha, oops! I changed it up with some herbed tilapia from Wegmans for dinner and that was delicious! I needed something quick to cook after working out since I was getting home a little later. I need to start planning weeknight meals on the weekends and preparing stuff ahead of time so I'm not as bored with plain old chicken tenders.
Tomorrow is plyometrics, yet again. The killer workout with which I have a very intense love/hate relationship. I'm ready to bring it!!
