We had a hard workout with Shan'tel last night. We are going later now--finished at 9:20 pm. Then I couldn't sleep--stared at the ceiling until after 1:00 in the morning. It's interesting that when I swim I don't get the same effect. But with any exercise other than swimming it kills my sleep if I do it within an hour of bedtime. I have read that I am not alone in having this problem. I hope it goes away.
I am certainly enjoying finally fitting into some more of my clothes, but my abs are a huge problem. It seems I gain first in my tummy and lose last in my tummy...but I am thankful that I don't have a worse health problem so I shouldn't complain.
I am coming a bit closer to doing a push up, but I would be a lot better if I could lose more weight. But walking that ball with my hands is the worse torture I could imagine for the gym until Shan'tel had me do those leg lifts where the weight is on top of your ankles. WOW does that hurt. Our routine for the weights is changing, getting more interesting, and a lot harder. Sometimes I am not sure my body will cooperate, but it finally does make an effort--imperfect as it is.
Good luck to all.
