30 Day Challenge Day 17 I Can't Even Think Straight!
Day 17! WTF! That was so hardcore!
I am still not feeling well. I was still in bed 40 minutes after my alarm went off this morning, coming up with reasons why I shouldn't get up and do my workout today. Finally I realized I really didn't have a solid excuse, so I dragged my sick butt out of bed and struggled through the workout.
I was grateful that today was only two rounds. I felt pretty confident there was no way I could do those exercises again.
Like I said, I am not feeling well, so was not at the top of my game. I appreciated the little pep talk at the end about having more challenging days, because we are tired, sick etc.. but we can still put in our 110% for that day. Push ourselves as hard as we can, that day. I had been feeling down on myself for not pushing harder, and that I was weaker then other days, but I pushed myself as hard as I could today. I did the max my body could do today, and I still worked up a good sweat. It was better then no workout!
Which exercise did you struggle with the most? For me it was the One Handed Mountain Climbers! My gosh those were killer! I will admit to having to put both hands on the floor several times.
So at this point in the game, if you have been sticking to a healthy meal plan, you should be seeing some results. Let's hear about them? Have you discovered a new food, or meal that you love? If you are struggling, have you purchased the Nutrition Guide? I highly recommend it. I find it very helpful when I am transitioning to have a well laid out plan, and the Nutrition Guide is very helpful. There are plenty of delicious recipes. If you are struggling, the guide will be a helpful tool.
Here are a few simple meals that I have been eating:
Scrambled eggs with kale, bacon, sauerkraut and olives, for those extra hungry days.
Tuna nori role with avocados, and caesar salad.
Lettuce wraps filled with tuna, or chicken and veggies.
These are all super quick, filling, and healthy.
I think today's workout deserves a high ten!
Gratitudes: It is Friday and we have the whole weekend free to spend as a family :)
