Morning Time

A friend of mine recently referred to the “Morning Skinnies.” I had no clue what she was talking about. She went on to say how it’s how you feel and your body looks in the morning after not eating since the night before.

It’s not the best mindframe, but it did get me thinking. I enjoy the “Morning Soreness.” You know the day after a great work out and your body is recovered/recovering and you just feel STRONGER. 

It’s those few minutes first thing in the morning when I am not distracted by everything else and can just think about how my body feels in that moment. 

I love feeling stronger and fitter and less weighed down by fat (as opposed to “skinny”).

Take time one morning this week it listen to your body…

I took measurements today – for the first time since MARCH 31 – so I can try and get an idea of the difference shred will make for me. 

Numbers are a crazy thing. I had been feeling pretty good about my body the past few days – and I still do. However I have a lot of work to do to get back to my March/Nov measurements (lowest to date) and then keep trimming down. 

WIW

Last Week:190.4

This Week 189.4

Change: -1

I’m surprised the loss wasn’t bigger, simply due to how hard I worked this week. However my stomach is a NSV. From my boobs to my belly button my stomach looks great. Overall my whole body is feeling more toned and I feel STRONGER.

I need to get back to measurements.

Push Ups Please

I finished day 6 of 30DS today (and a 4 mile outdoor run with the garmin – who i think i’m naming gary) ANYWAY. I realized today that I can sorta do a push up 6 days in to Shred. I have NEVER been able to do a push up – even a girl modified push up. But weirdly enough after 5 days of Shred and giving as much as I could each time push ups were required I actually have a half-decent form. Imagine if one day I could do real push up and do claps between them – that’s the dream (isn’t it?)
