Good morning, exercisers!

The past few days have been hard on my body. I stayed up very late one night and was shorted on sleep that and another night and there's the usual stress from upper management that just makes my tush pucker. I wanted to be more kind to my body today but I absolutely have to take advantage of days (almost) off so I agreed to do a little bit of mild cardio and only do 2 sets but at high weights. I thought that was a nice compromise and it seems to have worked.

I did half an hour on the recumbent bike.
Stats: 168 cal, 5.95 mi, 30:00 min

It was a lower body workout today. I did the max weights for each machine and even bumped a couple of them up a smidge. I'm at 50 lbs of resistance on the abdominal crunch machine now, so that is a step in the right direction.

I noticed this during my last workout but failed to mention it in here at that time....I'm getting stronger! That's the goal, of course along with better health, but when you are plugging along it doesn't always sink in that this. is. working. But last workout and this one too; I noticed just how much I've improved from where I started and what my initial max weight was and what it is now. It definitely made me happy and put a big smile on my face when the realization kicked in.

Today's acknowledgement not only brought a smile to my face but put some pep in my step. It's about that time again--for those who don't like menses talk, skip the rest of this paragraph--and I tend to either feel really drained and blah or, like now, really invigorated and powerful and that feeling of personal power makes me feel sexy too. It's a win win on the good months and something to look forward to the rest of the time.

I hope everyone has a marvelous day and, if not, work it out!
