What I've Done...

 

"It is not

the mountain

we conquer,

but ourselves."
Daily Workout Log
Written by Melissa   

Until the end of this school year I am not going to have time to log in every day and report my workouts. I am busy trying to get Mariah ready for high school, learning how to keep transcripts and keep track of credit hours, as well as getting myself prepared for college in the fall. These next 2 months are going to by BUSY to say the least!

I am keeping track of my workouts by using my notebook, like I did before the internet was invented :o) I am working on the 100 push up challange, and that should take me about 4 - 6 weeks to complete. If you're interested you can read more about the program here. As soon as things settle down around here I will resume working on the website, it has been a really fun experience and I enjoy and like the people I've met.

May the endorphins be with you! :-)

WED - FRI

As soon as it started snowing I have been under the weather, achy legs and joints w/ swollen glands and every movement makes me tired :( I have been taking it easy. Resting up today, and hopefully I will be able to do something tomorrow. I don't know if I am really not well, if it's weather related or if it's just mental - I am so tired of this cold weather. Not trying to be whiny, just keeping it real! What I wouldn't give to be somewhere warm and green right now...
