------

Favorite Position: Alligator

Disliked Position: Butterfly - getting better at it, but it still hurts like a bitch. 

 

Improvements: Significant. My time-of-the-month was this week... which is usually a brutal experience. However... I had quite a bit of energy to go about each day and didn't feel like I was being held back by menstruation/pms issues... at all! Lower back is doing loads better. My knee feels like it's getting back some strength in it. Looking forward to whenever the weather clears up so I can go out for more long walks.

Issues: Working up the courage to do longer workout sessions, as well as pacing it throughout the day, since I'm spending so much time at home... being unemployed and whatnot. So... I don't have to push this off until the very end of each day. Maybe I should try doing this in the mornings... see how my day goes from there. 

Diet: Intermittent Fasting. Going strong! Anywhere from 12/12 to 14/10.

Also... finally dipped in and got a heart monitor. Came in the mail early this week and can finally track some real progress here! I'm glad this program created a wrist/arm band, 'cause I really didn't want the traditional, under-the-shirt model. Too annoying for my taste.

Week 3 Progress Sunday, 1/22: Took day off... body needed a reset. Monday, 1/23: Red Hot Core 2.0 & Energy 2.0 Tuesday, 1/24: Red Hot Core 2.0 & Stand Up With Big G! Wednesday, 1/25: Red Hot Core 2.0 & Fat Burner 2.0 Thursday, 1/26 : Red Hot Core 2.0 & Synergy 40 Friday, 1/27: Red Hot Core 2.0 & Fat Burner 2.0 Saturday, 1/28: Hot Chili ----- Favorite Position : Frankenstein.... I really love balancing poses. Like, a lot! Disliked Position (still Number 1!!) : Butterfly. So much for positivity, right? ----- Improvements: Well... I'm officially bored with Energy 2.0. Using the heart monitor, it barely gets my bpm up into the 'zone', so I'm going to focus on next-level workouts, whenever Energy 2.0 comes up on the program feed. I'm actually kinda proud of myself for that one. :) Next... had fun trying a couple different workouts... and despite a couple moves being 'new' to me that eventually need practice... I got bored with those, too....
