Hey everyone!
The past few days have been good. I pushed myself pretty hard at the gym on Wednesday - Leg day! I can really feel it in my hams/glutes today, which is great since that's exactly where I need it! While I was working out I'd hit the 8th rep and think "there is no way I'm doing 4 more" but I did each time and that "feeling" is sooooo good. You know, the satisfied feeling? I figure there is no point in working out and eating clean if I'm not going to give it my all each time I walk through the gym door....and on the flip side, I'm less likley to take "another brownie" because why would I sabatoge all the hard work I am doing in the gym?
My mood has been a bit low/grumpy/tired this week - Brenda had me get some Vitamin B to take 3 times a day. Hopefully that will give me a boost. I think my body just needs to adjust to the weight lifting - it's probably in shock!
Been pushing my flexibility this week and have noticed a great difference - except today, my hams are so tight I can hardly touch my toes! Ha! I've also working on my pike/straddle hold and tho' I am far from holding it for 5 seconds I think I may be hitting 2 or 3 and it's encouraging to see improvement.
I'll have pictures posted hopefully tomorrow!

Jaime I love your attitude!! You are doing fantastic; remember to take time to rest also. Rest is just as important as the training! Be food mindful and meditate daily. These will all be your best friend!
Keep it up Sunny girl.
