I took yesterday, day 64, off to celebrate Christmas with my family! It was definitely the best rest day I have ever had. I love being home. I love Christmas. I love it all! Plus, I didn't binge on ANYTHING. Nada, zip, zero, zilch! No splurging for me. I followed my diet and even ended the day with a few less calories consumed than usual. Win.
Today was chest/back/triceps and the ab ripper. It beat me up. This workout is definitely the hardest for me. It's just so challenging! My upper body seriously struggles through every rep. By the time I was 3/4 of the way through, my triceps were shaking! I'm talking a full-on exhaustion quiver. Ouch. I did the best I could with ab ripper but it wasn't the best I've ever done... can't say I didn't try, though! I did my best. This workout is so rough, I'm happy with what I did.
Another confession- I had a little breakdown tonight about my lack of body fat/general weight loss. It is thoroughly discouraging that I've been working this hard and haven't seen the big results I was hoping to see! I know it takes time and patience and everything, but seriously! I have been busting my butt, quite literally, for the past 65 days and I'm not getting where I want to be! What more do I have to do?! I've changed my diet, stopped eating sweets, cut back on all processed foods... what is it going to take?? I'm frustrated. Part of me wonders why I even bother... Why am I working this hard and not seeing all the changes?! What the heck!! I'm trying to cut out a couple portions to see if that will boost my weight loss... so I guess we'll see! My muscles are exhausted. At this point, I'm in a perpetual state of soreness. I think that going down to two proteins a day is making it harder for my muscles to recoup. So I'm cutting back on my snack portions... Gahh, I'm desperate for changes!
Tomorrow is plyometrics. Beast. I got a heart rate monitor for Christmas, so I'm super excited to try it out on such a high intensity workout! As much as I'm discouraged, I'm going to work that much harder to bring it.
