Day 17

Halfway through week three! Thank God next week is a recovery week- my body needs it!! Every day my muscles ache more and more... They're taking longer to recover so each nightly workout builds on top of the soreness from the day before... My body is tired and ready for a little break!  I did well with arms/shoulders and ab ripper x tonight! I upped a lot of my weights, which makes me feel a little better about my lame-o upper body strength. It's not impressive (yet) but it's the progress that matters. Gotta count every victory, no matter how small! My abs were sore before I even started the ab ripper tonight. That was pretty rough to get through. For the first time, I did all the mason twists at the end! Even the ten extra :D I'm going to feel it tomorrow. More than I already feel it tonight, haha.

On that note, my right hand/wrist has been killing me today! I thought it was from push-ups but it wouldn't make sense for me to have done all the push-ups on Sunday and not have this pain until today. Weird. Whatever it is, it seriously needs to go away. It hurts to grasp anything so that made getting a good grip on my dumbbells really hard tonight. Other than that, my appetite is back. With a vengeance! I was hungry all day today. Constantly hungry! Ahhh! No good. No good at all. I didn't binge or cheat, though, so I feel good. I'm still hungry but my portions are done for the day and I need my three-hour digest window before going to bed.

Tomorrow is the worst workout of all- yoga x. Ughhhh. Maybe it'll feel good this week with how sore my muscles are? It's good to stretch out... so I'll bring it!
