Week four....well, Friday will be week four [View all]

but, I've not missed a workout, no excuses!

I was going to post Friday, but I decided to do it today.

I've been doing my 20 minutes on the exercise bike before the lifting and it has been going ok, but today, it was awful, it just felt like that 20 minutes was forever and SO hard.

The lifting was harder than usual too. I wonder if it's because I have eaten notably less protein the last couple of days.

But, I have managed to keep up long enough that it will soon be a habit.

Also, why, if you take a nap one day, it is already a habit, but doing other things (like exercise) take a freaking eternity to turn into habits?

I'm still a fat lady, but I'm getting stronger. I can actually feel that in my daily life. I have more stamina, can walk farther and am sleeping much better.
