I knew I would encounter some physical issues but I didn't think it would be so early! There was no physical way that I was going to be able to do squats today. My entire body is sore, however, my legs are barely functioning. Let's just say that the fact that I have stairs in my home has put me in my own personal hell. I didn't want to quit though and I knew I had to keep going. I also knew that I didn't want to damage my old body beyond repair! So I switched the movements up and put the coyote to bed until I'm in better shape.
I was a few sets in, and I was hurting, bad. The desire to just fluff it or to stop and call it "enough" was palpable. What made me keep going? It was something I told my daughter just the other day. I said, "never settle for average". If I was telling her not to settle, then how the hell could I allow myself? And at the end of the day, I just don't want to die average. I'm so much better than that. What was this momentary pain? It was my debt that I had to pay off for taking it too easy. I hate being in debt, even to myself. AT the end of this 21 days, that debt will be paid and then I can start banking again! Without further ado, here's what I managed tonight:
START TIME - 4:57pm
END TIME - 5:40pm
20lb KB (15 swings, 5 Presses each side, 5 lunge rows each side) 20x
A minute longer than day 1, but there were more movements tonight so I'm not going to complain. As always, I'm glad that I pushed through any doubt that I had. I was better than average tonight.
Tonight's recipe is a keto recipe that we make all the time. Even Emily likes it! I don't use the xanthan gum. Instead I use flax seed meal and that helps to thicken it. Honestly, you could use a little cornstarch if you weren't worried about that small amount of carbs. We don't do a strict keto diet anymore, so its not a huge issue for us either way.
