Wow, I’m really tired at the moment. I’m actually considering going to bed within the next 30 mins. That’s at least an hour, almost two before I usually do. However, it really sounds like a good idea. So, I’m just popping in to finish up the day. I haven’t taken the evening snack although I did weigh out the fruit already so the number is valid.

Well, I got it done, but boy it was tough. I can’t decide why it was so rough today as I feel I’ve had two other great (ie. high energy) workouts this week. I did start my period this morning, which may contribute to this feeling. Physically I’m wondering as I head to higher weights if I’m capable of doing three days a week. Monday will be my last stage 5 workout and I’d already planned on taking Wednesday off as I will be going out of town. I’m trying to work on a plan for when school starts and I’m almost thinking about cutting cals on rest days, bumping a little on active/cardio days and only lifting twice a week (Wed/Sat) on a little higher calorie level. I had hoped to finish off Stage 7 before starting but that’s not going to happen.

I think since the weather is lovely (borderline stinking hot) today that after lunch I’ll move the pool cover into the shade and spend some time in the pool. At least we’re getting a few late summer days before the fall starts.
