Days 5-7

Hey!! I kinda got behind in updating but I vow to catch up and get back on track and updating after every workout. :) I actually just finished the workout for  day 16 so I have some catching up to do.

Anyway.....days 5-7 were rest days so there's really not much to talk about. I'll summarize for the previous workout days....I was sore all week. Every single day had me sore. But I liked it. Call me a glutton for punishment if u want but I really did enjoy it. I guess I felt accomplished. Like the soreness was a sign that I really was doing something.  I'm motivated to keep going full steam ahead and to see results!! Next weeks workout is the same. I thought about skipping a rest day in order to speed up the process but I ended up resting all 3 days. I woke up on day 7 with some random knee pain so I decided to wait it out until the actual day I was supposed to work out.

Keep reading for day 8!!

Day 4

<p>Hey guys!! I know I'm a few days late...sorry!! I've been busy. I completed day 4 on Wednesday night. Shoulders and abs definitely got the best of me!!!! I didn't even finish the entire workout bc I literally just couldn't push myself anymore. :( I'm not sure if it was bc I was just physically and mentally tired or if it was bc the workout was too much or if I just wasn't motivated. This was my first time working out by myself and without a buddy....</p>
<p>Here's a breakdown of the workout for day 4: seated dumbbell press, standing dumbbell straight arm front delt raise to a t, side lateral raise, exercise ball crunch and air bike.

By the time I got to the side lateral raises I was spent. I could only get through the 2nd set and I was really struggling to get through those. I skipped the 2 ab exercises bc I didn't feel like laying on the floor so I opted for using some of the ab machines instead. I honestly feel like I cheated myself and I wish I would have been able to stick with the plan. I'm definitely going to make it a priority when it comes time to repeat the workout next week.

After day 4 there are supposed to be 3 dash of rest...lets see how that works out...
