Just finished my last recovery week workout. I burned 541 calories. Unlike earlier in the week, I did all the exercises with modification, including the ones that target the back. My back feels great again. No soreness at all. I feel really good going into Phase 2. I weighed myself this morning. I am down 2 pounds this week, with a total weight loss of 15 pounds in 5 weeks. I worked my butt off for every pound while still enjoying the occasional things I like, such as the 2 glasses of wine and bowl of real strawberry ice cream I had last night. But that was fine because unlike most (ok, all) Fridays, we didn't go out to dinner. We stayed in and had turkey chili.
We got about 10 inches of snow last night. Nothing compared to New England where it's still snowing. More importantly, we never lost power. My thoughts are with those who did lose power, because we were out for 2 weeks after Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy and that was awful.
My brother-in-law, his wife and my neice and nephew are all coming up today. We're making good on our Christmas gift to them, which was to take them to Medieval Times in Lyndhurst, NJ this evening. Their kids are younger and really wanted to go. I took my family several years ago and I must admit, I really enjoyed it. I mean, ok it's a little cheesy, but you get to drink beer, eat dinner with your hands and watch sword fights and jousting. What's better than that?
Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'm off tomorrow. Completely. Then Phase 2 begins. I feel a combination of nervousness and excitement. But as they say, I will continue to "push play every day."
