Well That Was Terrible

     Today was day 2 of 21. It was worse than day 1. Of course it was worse than day 1 and I knew it would be because I've been down this road before. I suppose that's one positive of starting over...again. I know what to expect. I knew I would be super sore from yesterday because I haven't worked out in months. I knew that the soreness would make squatting an ugly affair, and I was not disappointed. The flip side to knowing the negative is knowing how to prepare yourself, mentally, to brace against that. I knew I would hear that little shitter named Doubt whisper in my ear to quit, and I knew that I had everything within me to tell him to piss off. So I did. Multiple times. I worked just with the 20lb bell today. I'm not happy with that, but it is what it is. The weight will go up.
     I also know that it will get easier. Or at least, less difficult. I know that the squats will get deeper and more solid, the swings will get more powerful and the pushups will be to full range of motion. I know that I will win this battle with myself. I have before and I'm in the process of doing it again. Watch me.

START TIME - 2:20pm
20lb KB (15 swings, 5 goblet squats, 3 pushups) x20
END TIME - 2:57pm

Today's recipe is for a wonderful little muffin called The morning Glory Muffin. I found the recipe o the back of the bag of whole wheat flour. They're filling, not overly sweet, and easy to make. I make mine with wheat germ instead of the sunflower seeds and I put dates in mine also. Get the recipe here. I usually have on of these on my morning break at work and it keeps me going until lunch.

Music, water & grapes keep me going
