Day 831 - Back to Work.

After having the last two glorious days off work, it was time to return today. Major bummer. Especially since the weather was far less than glorious. It was cold, cloudy and just downright gloomy. Unlike. :-(

The good thing is that when I got to my desk, this was waiting for me. Authentic German chocolate!

One of my co-workers had just gotten back from her yearly trip to Germany to visit family. She always brings back chocolate for all the girls in the office. Now that I think about it, I didn't even open this. I just forgot about it because I was kinda busy.

Around 3 PM today, I was crashing. I mean, I was really feeling lethargic. And then I started thinking about my workout. Which Firm DVD I was going to do. Did I want to work upper or lower body. What if I just took another rest day.

I felt sick for about 10 minutes today, but luckily it was a fleeting thing. My stomach hurt, then it passed. I texted Kenlie that if she got me sick from that cold she's had the last 2 months, I would kill her. That was said with love, by the way. Which she totally understood. But I felt fine shortly after, so we're cool.

When I got home, I decided to focus on lower body. So I started on the treadmill for 22 minutes. I read somewhere a long time ago that the body does not start burning fat until after 20 minutes of any kind of physical activity. Isn't that something? That's why I always do at least 20 minutes because I feel if I didn't, then what would be the point. Just my opinion. then I did The Firm Parts Standing Legs. I can already feel the soreness settling in. I used the 15s when I did the leg press on the 14 inch step. Umm, I felt some pain, people. Lots of leg presses, squats, and lunges in this one. I burned 638 calories.
Yeah, I'm looking like a hot mess. I'm not really sure what my hair is doing here. I think it doesn't really matter, right? Hehe.

Solid day. Tracked everything, stayed within my points, and got in all of my requirements.

Yawn. . . . I'm fading fast here. Need to wrap up & get to bed. Good choices!
