Week 3 has come to a close. I'm pleased with the progress that I've seen. I feel stronger in my lifts and more stable and controlled through the movements. I like the structure of this method, but I also like that variety that it includes. It's the mix that I enjoy and that I need. I'm proud of myself for sticking with it and pushing myself to get through the weights. I have lost exactly zero pounds, in fact, I've gained 3. I'm going to tell myself that it's muscle, you know, to stay motivated. Wink wink. I truly didn't feel like working out today. I have a horrible knot behind my shoulder that I woke up with and it's annoying as hell. I also have a migraine starting over my eye. To add to it, I couldn't find my ibuprofen so I had to take aleve. Basically the same as taking nothing. That's what it's like getting old, kids - having a variety of pain relievers, ointments and muscle rubs in stock at all times and actually having your favorites. So, anyhow. I'm going to get a cup of tea, a piece of pie and a stocking hat to put on my aching head.
