The workout kicked my butt. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 3<\/strong><br \/>\n20 seconds in (I think it was butt kicks) and my legs were killing me &#8211; back of my thighs (hamstrings?) were screaming&#8230; and that was just 20 seconds in. This workout was hard. I was already pretty sore already and this was rough. I don&#8217;t think I got through half of each of the exercises and I&#8217;m not positive I&#8217;m doing some of them correctly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 4<\/strong><br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t look at the workout ahead of time and it turns out it&#8217;s a recovery day (yay for recover days!) &#8211; a bunch of stretching. The stretching was hard (man my hamstrings(?)) are sore, but this was a welcome change from the high intensity stuff. I&#8217;m still sore, but it&#8217;s not killing me&#8230; makes me wonder if I&#8217;m not pushing hard enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>General notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have never been on a diet in my life and I can now really empathize with people that diet. I have been craving so much other (bad) food, but I&#8217;ve been sticking to it and not wavering\/cheating. On Day 4 (Thursday), during dinner, I had an iced coffee &#8211; that was my first &#8220;splurge&#8221;, but I cut back on the hazelnut cream and used some skim milk so it wasn&#8217;t too bad (I hope). I haven&#8217;t had coffee all week (since Sunday).\n<\/li>\n<li>The food isn&#8217;t too bad really. The roast beef wrap, egg white wrap, and lean burger are pretty darn good. The chicken meatballs aren&#8217;t nearly as tasty as I thought they would be. The chicken breasts I cooked ahead of time on the grill but I screwed them up and the chicken is dry and tough but that&#8217;s my fault, not the recipes&#8217;.\n<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve easily eaten more fruit this week than I have in the past 15 years. I&#8217;ve been doing five 400 calorie meals so I&#8217;ve had to add 100 calories to each one and many times it&#8217;s a fruit. The vanilla berry protein smoothie is pretty tsasty!\n<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s hard to get used to eating 5 small meals a day and I have to take a freakin satchel full of food so I can eat THREE meals at work.\n<\/li>\n<li>The two muscles that are hurting the worst are the backs of my thighs (hamstrings?) and the muscles under my underarms &#8211; no idea what muscle that is, but damn they are sore. Every time I move, some muscle complains about it. Never been this sore &#8211; ever. Epic moment of the day &#8211; it hurt to pass gas.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just 59 days to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I did days 2 and 3, I just didn&#8217;t blog about it til now.
