Days 6-12

OK, so been a few days. You can always tell when something is up with someone when they stop blogging for a bit. Well, I'm no exception! I was doing so well!! Day 6 was perfect and then came day 7 and I totally BLEW it! Day 8 was once again great, and then they last 3 days have been horrid. I start out super well, and actually was doing quite well at work, then came home and just...I dunno. I'd like to blame PMS. Will you let me? I'm not really sure if that's really the reason or not, but hey, it works for me. I promised myself I'd get it back together, and today has been really right on again today.

Workouts have been fine. I had to go a bit lighter on my shoulder yesterday because it had been bothering me, so figured lighter but slow and deliberate would still get the job done.

Now, I have a new mini Challenge in the brewing. I have to go to Chicago the end of February for a board review course and my friend, Damon lives near where I'll be. So, he and I have a mini Challenge going until I get there. THEN we are going to work out together while I'm there so we can beat each other up in the gym! I'm really looking forward to it, however, I cannot allow a repeat of this past week. I've gained 6 lbs since starting this challenge 12 days ago. I think...no I KNOW I'm going in the wrong direction! I'm supposed to be maintaining my weight or even losing a few pounds and packing on the muscle.

No fear. I *will* I *will* I *will* make a perfect week next week. I have to. I cannot allow myself to fall back so far that I can't come back, so might as well nip it right here and now. It's been an emotional few weeks with the family and maybe that has something to do with it. I'm not really sure. I thought about starting over, but if I constantly start over, I'll never get there. So, the next 5 weeks are going to be of me posting my workouts and my meals here so Damon can see what I'm doing and punish me in the gym for every cheat I make!!!

OK, Damon. I've put it out there! Now, its public and no turning back!!! I will be in better shape in 5 weeks!!! I promise you!
