Day 5: Pushing Through

VALERIE: It's Day 5, and today was marked by exhaustion. It was very hard getting out of bed this morning, but I made myself get up and get moving.

Day 5: Back to Strength Training

Exercise:

So, while it was tough to start moving, once I got moving, I felt pretty good. My pushups are improving, thought not meeting the target quite yet. My dips are also getting better. We changed up to use the coffee table rather than chairs - the increased surface area helped.

Not as good on the run/walk front. A rough day at work led to a late homecoming and a missed training. Jeff got his run in, though.

Diet:

Another mixed bag today. Good news, I resisted a strong urge to eat a McFlurry. But, I exceeded my calorie threshold just slightly. My nutrition balance was fantastic!

I still need to get my calorie level lower, but it is much better than recent months, to be sure.

Supplements:

Jury still out.
