Day 33 - Diligence Pays Off
Today I finally hit the 150 lb. mark. I kept hoping the scale would inch down one-tenth to 149.9, but I was very happy to see where I was today. That’s 8 pounds lost! **doing Charlie Brown victory dance ** Yesterday was cardio and I was feeling extra tired — since school started we’ve been getting up at 6 am — and I only made it to 17 minutes of interval running. I was hoping to get to a second cardio session but it just never happened.
Today is upper body. I’m pumped and ready to hit it! First I’ll have some yogurt and eggs. I do my cardio on an empty stomach, but I think lifting should be done with a good protein/carb base. If you’re weak, you can’t lift as heavy, and then you’ll have less gains.
We’ve made it through the first week of school. I just put Autumn and Thomas on the bus and today I will be doing homeschool with my 11th grade son, Joe. We have Chemistry, Economics, Algegra 2/Geometry and Health. At the local government school he is also taking English, Strength Training, and Law Enforcement. Sarah will work in her Kumon books next to Joe and I as we study. Will is now a Freshman in high school and Emily starts college in less than two weeks. Wow! They grow up too darn fast!
