MightyFull's Journal, 10 October 2017

Todays weigh in was my reality check. When I start to slip, I weigh. I remind myself the why I am doing what I am doing. I have noticed that when I am fighting allergies, not getting enough sleep, and continue to push myself onward, I tend to not do as well in most aspects of my life.

Yesterday at the office someone had a bunch of cheezit crackers just there - waiting for my temptation to get the best of me. I kept telling myself to go drink some water, and then that's the moment my coworker tells me they can see I am losing weight in my middle. Thank you God for reminding me the why when my temptation starts to play mind games with me.

Today I am agitated. No particular one thing that is causing it, but it's underlying. I am trying not to let it get my goat. I think it is called I need to take vacation time, and it is scheduled but not today. Plus my house looks terrible and is overdue for a deep cleaning, and I only wish I had the energy to tackle it today.

Anyway, not happy about the weigh in and I have officially dropped the bracket on 21 day fix down one. Today I decided to do Back and Biceps (not the P90x version) on Skimble. Figured doing more reps would be easier. I am delusional. My bicep muscle was actually starting to ache by the time I finished. (We are talking 40+ reps each exercise....and it's not because I am a wimp.)

I've done that too ... dropped to a light weight and did lots of reps. I think I may have read about it in Muscle & Fitness about a million years ago .. trying to do 100 reps of something .. and boy is it a killer! Your body adapts very specifically to the things you do, making them easier over time .. so building muscle mass that lets you lift heavy weights for 8-10 reps doesn't necessarily give you the endurance you need to do 100 reps of a lighter weight. I think its a great idea to do different things and mix things up from time to time! Thanks for the post.

I get that underlying feeling of angst for no reason too. It's not very often thankfully! But it can be intense! Gotta remind myself to just breath! Way to go on avoiding the Cheez-its! Perfect timing for you coworker to reaffirm your progress!
