Things have been busy, busy, busy and I haven’t have time to update since last Thursday…

Things are right on track with workouts, food, water – but I took my measurements this morning and NO CHANGE since last week. This is the first week that everything is the same. I didn’t go crazy on Free Day this weekend – I took one free meal (sushi and a crepe) so I don’t understand. Hmmm… I just realized last week was the first week I didn’t add extra cardio in the afternoons. I did add 15 to 20 minutes of steady state to the end of my HIITs, but nothing on weight days. Maybe that’s why I didn’t make any measurable progress. I didn’t even bother weighing myself. I’m going to take my own advice and forget about that bloody scale.

I’m afraid and my mind if full of self doubt and I know I shouldn’t be focusing on my fears of my body not cooperating with me… but – ARGH.

Moving on.

Friday I did UB workout at home with some dumbbells that I have – I also did push ups and tricep dips… Although I was still sore yesterday, I’m going to wait till we have our home gym set up before working out at home again…

Saturday I did HIIT on treadmill and ROCKED it once again; however, I have to force myself to stop using the treadmill for a minimum of two weeks. My damn shin splints have gotten so incredibly painful and my shins are bumpy and inflamed. I’ll continue with my stretching and strengthening exercises and do elliptical or bike for the next two weeks and then watch out tready – here I come! We went shopping in Walnut Creek - what a cute, cute town. The air is so clean and the downtown area is so darn cute!
