Shaving minutes away!

Woohoo! I shaved 7 minutes off my 5 circuit workout! Down from 60 to 53 minutes. I can do this. I'm also super proud because I was EXTRA unmotivated to work out tonight. It was sooo hot today and my living room faces West so it stays hot longer in the evening. It's cooler in the a.m., but I usually don't have time to work out in the morning. Well, okay if I got up an hour or so earlier I could, but 7:15 a.m. is early enough for me, thank you very much. So, yea, I work out in the afternoon or evening. This plan has worked extra well for me up until this week b/c the weather has been very tempermental and not so much with the hot. This week it's 80s and 90s and humid...weeeeeee. I went to bed a little late last night. I only got 7 hours of sleep (gasp! I know, I know, some people would die for that much sleep, but I'm big on my sleep so 8 hrs is my norm) and then was running around all day. By the time I got home, took care of somethings, and fed myself I was languid on the couch. I spent some time trying to convince myself of why it would be okay to switch my day of rest from tomorrow to today and so on and so forth.

As it turns out, when standing directly in front of the fan it wasn't as bad. I was sweaty and sluggish, but I powered through it. I have some how injured the top of my left foot. It feels sore. I don't know if I'm getting the footing wrong on one of the exercises... only on one side though...? Weird. I've been being even more aware of form so hopefully it'll heal up immediately. Did I mention how nicely my arms are coming along in the last post? I don't remember. I know I thought about it, but I'm not sure if I ended up writing about it, haha. I am developing some serious definition and it's pretty exciting. I'm looking forward to when the muscles get even firmer. I don't want anything toooo crazy, but I'm kinda stoked about where they're headed. It's good motivation to keep, keeping up regardless of what the weekly weight loss is or isn't. I understand that I'm not following my caloric intake to a T, so I can't be shocked. I do drink beer 1-4 times a week. And I indulge in a little bit of sweets. Nothing out of control and not daily. Mostly I do stay in my 1,200-1,400 range. I don't snack nearly as much as I used to!! And my obsession about food is waning, phew. I knew it was only a matter of time. Less than 2 weeks; I'll take it.

No real word on text guy. He did say he was interested in grabbing a drink, but he's currently under the weather. The fact that he said yes first does make me not disbelieve the sick part, haha. I'll let him get back to me when he's better if he so desires, but by no means will I sit around and wait to see. I'm not that bad.

Oooh, 10p! Time to shower off and crawl into my bed!! I am puckered out.
