Day 4 - Cardio Recovery

Today it was particularly difficult to get up and work out...I knew it was going to be a recovery day and estimated that it wouldn't be as long of a workout, so it didn't take much to convince myself to hit the snooze button a few extra times. I would say that I was tired due to the intense calorie-melting workouts, but I was mostly tired because I stayed up past midnight reading Eclipse. That's right, I've become a Twi-hard...Team Edward, to be precise. I don't know who coined the term "Twi-hard" or if I'm using it correctly, but I do know that I took careful attention to be sure that last week's Oprah with the cast of the movie will not be deleted from the DVR and that the book kept me up well after my bedtime...I'm near the end and I want to know what happens!! Don't judge me.

As far as the workout was concerned, it was much lower impact today but still challenging. We had to do some really tough squats and leg lift things. I know this doesn't make much sense, but whenever I start a streak of eating healthy or working out regularly and I start seeing results (or after about 4 days, whichever comes first) I feel like its a good time to stop. Like right now, I'm pleased with what I'm seeing...I'm sore, I feel like I'm getting toned, my stomach feels a little flatter...and I feel like that's enough, or I feel like I can work out half as much and I'll be satisfied. So today since I was tired and somewhat pleased with my progress, I thought about quitting. Pretty lame, huh. Good thing I have this blog to keep me going. In any event, I'm interested to see what happens if I actually stick it out. Onward!
