So I ended my week with absolutely NO energy. By Friday night I was DONE. Still had hurting legs from L&B and Kenpo and could barely get out of bed this morning I was so tired. I was also having some issues with my knee, it was really sore all day yesterday. Today it felt a little better, but I was still achy so I just I ran some errands with my mom (I went with her to WW, but didn’t go in, get weighed or go to the meeting; I just sat in the car and tried to rest), got some food for this weeks meals, came home and got back into bed. I ended up sleeping for 4 hours. I don’t know if it was my diet or the workouts or not getting enough sleep during the week or what, but wow.
I joined sparkpeople.com and have been tracking my food there. I decided on 40/30/30 and between 1600 and 1800 calories a day. I might tweak that though maybe 1800 to 2000. The HRM says I’m burning 600 calories on cardio days and around 400 on lifting days. I don’t want to starve myself, so I definitely need to be eating more. I think this week I’ll leave it at 1600/1800, just to see if that’s okay for me, then adjust if I need to. Since I didn’t get weighed today, I’ll have to pull out the scale tomorrow and just suck it up. After that I won’t weight myself again until the beginning of the 5th week.
I ate and did X Stretch tonight which was really relaxing. I had no idea it would be a whole hour and initially I grumbled about that internally, but it turned out to be a great thing. I’m tempted to sub this one for Yoga X, but I’m gonna stick with the yoga anyway. Some of the stretching poses were a little rough for me (that whole put your legs over your head business!) but I’m sure they will get better with time. I can definitely tell I’m more loose now and most of the achy-ness I was feeling is gone. I also completed the stretches my PT gave me as well.
Tomorrow: Week 2! I feel accomplished that I made it through this week with the workouts. Now I have to seriously focus on my eating. I don’t want to take pictures in three weeks that look the same as my before pics. I just don’t want to be wasting my time.

Just keep pushing play!
I am almost to the end of my 3rd week and it does get easier. I would almost call it addicting.
Hang in there and read other people’s experiences. It helps to keep me motivated knowing that I am not alone.
Cheering you on,
