Whenever I don’t post at least every three days, my posts get long, so I promise to keep it short and mostly to pictures so you like me. 😀
Highlights of the week: I worked out every day. I tried new classes (Les Mills Step, which is a killer workout, I don’t remember my step class having burpees and weights before) and also Sports Attack was new, which works up a great sweat despite me thinking it’s not that tough. By the end it is. I did not always do what I had planned, mainly because of time restrictions.
Lowlights of the week: No food tracking every day, but that’s why it works for me, because I take it easy and it’s not forced. When I don’t have time, when it’s a hard day (week, which it has been), I just don’t do it.
The most important “lowlight” of the week would be the, for me, inevitable emotional plateau marked by two weeks being left from my hybrid. It doesn’t matter how much in love I am with the current routine, which I absolutely am right now with Combat, I just get bored. Does this happen to you as well??
So here are the pics for the week, as promised (but more detailed posts are to follow in the next couple weeks).

And that picture above brings such a smile to my face. Sophie did the step class with me (more or less and was pretty distracting but hey, this is exactly why I work out in her presence, so that it becomes such an integral part of her life as well), she even imitated the burpees, that’s you see on top. And the bottom picture is simply not fair. She took my resting spot. Both of us were completely beat.
Days 74 & 75
Days 76 & 77
And one last puppy love picture. Sparky, our beagle, does not do the handshake. If you ask me, the doesn’t do it because our coonhound does it and Sparky feels he doesn’t need to. He’s alpha in his own eyes. He is an extremely smart dog, so he could learn it. He just refuses to. He met his match though, because Sophie is just as stubborn. Sophie loves her dogs. She loves them so much.
So how did I do? Manageable/readable yet still lives up to the accountability expectations?
