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. Both were in the Blue Zone... so I'm thinking I'm ready for taking it up a notch and into the Yellow Zone (level 3) workouts. But... Fat Burner and Synergy 40 still kick my ass right in the Red Zone. So.. there's that at least. Body-wise... I can actually feel improvement in my right knee where my meniscus tear is. Scar tissue is breaking up and there's significantly less irritation. 

All of these are good reasons to keep on smiling through the next week.

Issues: Push-ups hurts. My right bicep, at times, feels like it's going to give out. So... I'm working carefully with the 'knees down' modification. My upper body strength is absolute crap, so this one is gonna take a while to work through.

Diet: Well... it was my birthday this week. Hooray! So... I blew off Intermittent Fasting for about half the week and ate some fun foods for a couple days. Not always the easiest coming back from that and getting back on track... so, that's good enough motivation for me to keep myself on track... And, I probably blew off about twice the calories I gained, throughout the week.

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 unem...
