I seriously love lifting weights

Today's workout kicked my ass. Good thing I love lifting weights.

Alright, let's catch everyone up. Yesterday I hit play on Sweat Intervals. This workout was absolute garbage. I think my legs are still getting used to the additional leg work (3x per week now!) on weight days, because they felt like lead. Add on top of that a lack of sleep thanks to a baby who refused to sleep (I can't wait until she's old enough to read this blog) and overall I'm giving this workout a D-. Yup, a D-. The only thing that kept it from being an F is that I didn't turn it off. I did at least one rep of every single move, and even though that's not a lot at all, I tried. I never gave up, at least not completely, so hey, I'll take it.

I made sure to make up that workout with a good walk at lunch and a good, clean diet day.

Food wise, I made a fun meal last night. I made turkey meatballs, but used cauliflower instead of bread crumbs, and I found a recipe online to make "noodles" out of eggs. Note the quotes around noodles. These were definitely NOT noodles, but they were tasty and edible and totally fulfilled the purpose of noodles. It was good.

This morning I hit play on my second short weight lifting workout. I actually had slightly more volume in this one than in Tuesday's workout, but I didn't think I got worked as hard. Then again, my arms said otherwise in the workout, as they basically gave out. At just over 40 minutes (include Ab Attack 10 from Max:30) this was a good one.

Side note: Someday I'm going to have to make two more short lifting workouts, but that's not for 17 weeks, so all good. The two I have are just fine. Next stop, I've gotta program my Saturday workout into PowerPoint. Monday's too. But, there's time for that tomorrow/Saturday morning.

Alright, so let's talk scale. I've been trying for weeks to get into the 180s, and yesterday I stepped on the scale to see....

189.8! Boom!

Yup, I finally did it, just barely. Now, my weight loss tracking program is all out of whack now, but I'm sticking with Monday/Wednesday/Friday being official days. So, this morning I weighed in again too. I didn't eat that much yesterday, so I realize this is a little deflated, but I stepped on the scale today and saw....

188.8! Yup, another pound. But again, that's on a major accidental calorie deficit, so I'm assuming it's not a solid number. And today's not official anyways. So, my goal for tomorrow is to stay at or below 189.0. If I can do that tomorrow, I'll log it.

Alright, that's where I'm at. Looking forward to redeeming myself tomorrow with Friday Fight Rd. 1 as I wrap up Month 1 of my third round. Then it's on to Month 2, plus more and more weights!

Bring it!
