I can't believe that 5 weeks are behind me already. It's funny because the first 2-3 weeks of this process were so difficult and I was often so worn out or so sore that I couldn't imagine feeling good. That "recovery week" really did alot to stretch everything out and since then my energy has been amazingly high.
I got in a great workout this morning. It's still funny to be at how just with push-ups I can get to the point where I can't even push myself off the ground and how little that still takes to accomplish. But I can say that it took more this week than last week to keep me down. Today's workout was one of the first where I felt "stronger". I made it through the first set of push-ups with perfect form and didn't struggle. I wasn't until the second exercise that I had to break form to finish the workout. My arms are still "wobbly" right now, so I'm sure the DOMS for this workout come Wednesday is going to be the suck.
I FINISHED AN AB-RIPPER X WORKOUT! Now I didn't get all the reps that they did on the screen, but I did my best and did some for everything. That's never happened. Usually I'm so tired that I start the Abs, and when my abs are screaming I just stop rather than put in the 6-8 reps I'm able to get per exercise. But today while they were doing their 25 reps, but gutted out my 6-8 and finished the whole thing. I was pretty stoked about that.
I was very tempted to weigh-in this weekend, but figured after last month's disappointing (to me it wasn't what I had hoped for) weigh-in I'm going to keep the same plan as before and just weigh at the end of phases. So only 3 weeks left to go.
Running again tomorrow. I think I might bump it up a bit to maybe 1.5 miles, but I might do another week of 1 mile runs. I didn't really feel like I was solidly back up to 1 mile being "easy" and with the illness still sticking around it might be good to give me another establishment week.
