I'm fairly certain...

that I won't be able to move tomorrow.

In a fit of a combination of boredom and my body getting frustrated with my inability to actually use it, I went for a bike ride that was a decent 5.6 miles. I got that figure using this...

After returning, I did some strength training and really challenged myself with added weight or reps. I also did this crazy thing called the Tabata protocol, or High Intensity Interval Training. Basically, you go all out for 20 seconds, rest for 10, then repeat that 8 times. I know that doesn't sound very difficult, so here:



You don't have to do straight burpees, although they are a fantastic aerobic workout. So, aside from my neck absolutely KILLING ME right now, I feel really, really good. It's so funny what a little motivation can do. And that is exactly what I have been missing all this time. I can only hope that I keep at it when I begin to see results. Speaking of results, I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning and every Sunday morning after, and see how close I come to my goal of 1.5ish pounds per week.

Wow, there was very little bike related tomfoolery in this post. I was not expecting that. Well, you all should expect much of that come next week!

Have a pleasant evening,

M.
