Welcome 2012! So wish the mental aspect wasn't so difficult...new job in Sept. 2011 and it is going great.  Quite a bit of travel so the schedule is quite hectic...making it hard to be a creature of habit.  I like morning workouts but when I travel, it is very hard to do the early morning workouts due to the nature of my schedule.  Evening workouts have never been good or easy for me...although I need to really get the mind set and just do it!  Regarding workouts with hubby; he is ready to get back to it!  I love hearing this.  My severe ankle injury is nearly healed and almost back to 100% on the ankle!  Priorities....mind (battlefield of the mind), for both workouts and eating!  Eating; getting the right foods, enough of the foods and back to enjoying cooking. And last, finding the balance of the new job, schedule, travel and workouts!

Nothing like just going for the gusto!  I backed off and did RIU several more times and figured I needed to bite the bullet and just to BIU!  I am about a week's worth of workouts off schedule, so it'll do me good to carry out Slim in 6 - BIU through the end of the month and then move into something different.

This morning I pp to the updated version of SI6 and was plesantly surprised!  My muscles are still burning three hours later.  I am anxious to see the BIU workout and what will be different as well. 

Whew - that felt great!  I have a lot of muscle improvement to work on from strength to flexibility; though already I have improved from Saturday's workout to Monday's!  And so far, I am not even terribly sore AND I can still manage to function without being in a lot of pain!  It seems Ramp It Up goes faster than I remember and I sort of forgot how the workout is brokenout into "little" segments.  I need to remember to take each segment for what it's worth and not rush myself! 

Lower back sprain [again].  Sleeping wrong, yard work, twisting, who knows what I did this time.  The important thing is, seeing the Dr was a needed reminder face to face to start pushing play again.  It's easy for me to spiral downward, I am an emotional eatter, and I work practically alone.  All the more reason to reconnect and lean on the virtual BB-Buddies and my BB friends.

Going to start out slow with three stretch workouts.  I go to the Dr early this morning and then to work.  Of course, having a job where I sit, type, and have conference calls doesn't do much good for my back issues.  The sedentary lifestyle.  So, another good reason to PP and to start strengthening my body and regaining movement and flexibility.

DIET, not the action of, rather watching and controlling what goes in my mouth.  Isn't it something???  How as an emotional eatter I feel out of control when it comes to food, yet other areas in my life I am or have control?? Wicked.

Measurements and pics coming up before PP this morning.  NOT looking forward to them, though, as progress happens, I'll be so darned glad I did.
