This was needed. So needed. As if I haven’t said it enough already, I was so sore today. I worked a lot more than I had thought yesterday, specifically my back and arms. All those punches really do add up I guess, and even though it was fun, and I know I was sweating and everything, but I never thought it would have done that much work that I would have actually been sore today. Not just sore, but sore in places I didn’t know could get sore like that. Anywho, X Stretch. It was pretty slow paced, and I probably could have done it all on my own just as effectively, but it wasn’t that bad, and it was kind of nice to had a day where all I have to do it stretch and relax, and that’s still following the plan/not cheating.

I was going to do some extra cardio or some other kind of workout also today, maybe a half hour on the elliptical or something, but I just decided to let my rest day be a real rest day. Especially with how hard this first week has been for me, and how sore I’ve been every single freaking day, yeah, rest day is definitely a good idea. I’ll do that extra work another day…or not ; ) One week down, twelve more to go. Still feeling good about everything, no real problems yet or anything, and motivation is still high. I definitely already feel results from just a week of workouts. I have more energy, stamina has been getting better and I think I even look a bit trimmer. I also feel stronger every day, and really, that’s all I need. I don’t know whether or not Ive lost any weight, and I’m definitely going to make it a goal of mine to avoid the scale as much as possible. I am hoping to step on the scale and measure myself at the end of each phase. I know that will be a challenge, but I know that will help greatly. Nothing is more discouraging to me than that freaking little bit of technology, it sometimes can literally be my worst enemy, yet somehow I find it hard to avoid. Successful for far though, and that seems to be how the whole weeks gone. Week one on the whole: Success!
