Almost wrapping up my first week of phase 2 and man, what a difference.
In terms of the effort that is. I'm starting to move into non-assisted chest moves, without the chair and making some good progress. Definitely hope to improve on them as the weeks progress. Also, I really ... really am not feeling Yoga. Gave it another shot yesterday and was really bored half way through. Sigh.
Today though, I definitely felt the burn in Legs & Back. While this week has had a few harder exercises, I think that I've not been getting enough sleep and my muscles are more so as the days roll by. I am also pushing my self harder earlier on in the workouts and notice that I can last longer. But regardless, my arms and legs definitely still feel sore from previous workouts.
Just gotta keep it up and see how these next few weeks progress. I am optimistic though that my habits are changing pretty well. I do have to recognize that if I am working out 6 days a week, I really need to get 8~ hours of sleep every night in order to heal my muscles up before tearing them in the next few days. Today, my knees felt really weak during the earlier portion of the workout and I was near on the verge of giving up. But just as I was almost thinking of turning the video off around 1/4 in.. I hear Tony saying "Do your best... and forget the rest." That made me think of all the times before in the first few weeks where I almost gave up half way through the workout but just gave it my all and powered through it. After it, I felt great. So I did the same today and definitely don't regret it.
Valentine's day is coming up... hope I don't indulge too much in not healthy foods =)
