Wearing out..

Day 23

Lane swimming last night was a bit more work on the legs. I can really feel my legs pinching anytime I use the muscles now, even stairs its like "ouch ouch ouch".

Today was the absolute hardest day of working out i've ever had so far. My body just didn't want to cooperate. I was out of steam just from the warm up. I had several thoughts during the work out "just stop the DVD you can't do this"... i'm glad now that I didn't but I honestly don't even know HOW I made it through.

P was totally uncooperative today too, he was climbing all over me during my abs moves which of course made it either more challenging or impossible. sigh. Unfortunately we have been having such terribly hot weather I really don't want to work out in the afternoon. I prefer to work out in the earlier morning shortly after breakfast so that I can just get on with my day.

I'm sure some of my lost steam stems from the fact that I weighed myself a couple days ago and I was up 2lbs and weighed myself today and i'm down 1.5lbs from that. My husband says its fluctuation from building muscle and losing fat that it will go up and down and to not focus so much on the number but the measurements. I do my measurements next week so we shall see, I really do NOT want to give up but it is very discouraging to work out THIS hard and eat so healthy (with a day every once in a while where I relax SLIGHTLY but not that bad) to not have much results.
Again my husband tells me that 10lbs a month is good and I lose that in 2 weeks. I know I should be proud of that and pace myself but it is a little disheartening.

Calling my support peeps, where art thou support peeps? lol

Off I go on my day now. Thursday is my last day of Level 2 then I advance to Level 3. I am really feeling it in my knees now too, usually only when I do jump n jacks though.
