C1W8D3 and C1W8D4

OK I've refocused and am in a much better "place" mentally. I've realized that with all this muscle I've been adding, once the thyroid is stabilized and the fat starts coming off, I'll be a lean machine. That's how I choose to think about things right now anyway!

Great UB workout yesterday and a good HIIT on elliptical this morning followed by 10 minutes on the stationary bike. Yesterday I added a new exercise - assisted pull-ups. I’m definitely feeling it in different muscles today so I’m pleased about that.

For some reason my energy is gone. I’m feeling bonked today and just want to take a nap. Maybe it’s the cloudy weather?
