Fat Loss Project Day 31

Comments: This is my cheat day. I bought tickets over 6 months ago to see U2 and will be enjoying the concert (and several bad food/drink items) with my husband tonight. I won't be working out today either, but will be double up on Friday. I'm curious to see what one night of being bad will do to my progress. I've been cutting back a little on my portions the last couple of days and will do that tomorrow, too. Hopefully I won't have to make up too much ground.

Fat Loss Project Day 18

Comments:
This was a very difficult day for me. I had virtually no energy all day long -- everything was an effort. Had to push myself through the workout and was only able to get through it going very slowly. Was not able to attempt the decreased rest time in between sets -- in fact, was probably lucky if I didn't take that long between reps! That should give you an indication of how difficult it was. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some energy back.
