My Work Outs -R.I.C.E. for me all week long.


Scale Reading -
Good-bye 2 pounds! Muscle loss? I don't know. Water loss? maybe. Better food choices? It's possible.

Measurements -
Chest = -.5"
Waist  = -2"
Hips = -.5"
Legs = +.5
Arms = +.5"

Stress Level -
Sick of being on the injured list. I'm suffering from headaches daily. What is going on with that? This morning I took a step without pain for the first time in 2 weeks. Then I put my new shoes on with my new supports. The pain was back full force. I had to return the stability insoles. My body can't handle any new adjustments until I heal completely. ARG!!!!!!

The UP side -
I'm healing. I'm hoping to get back to some form of exercise this week. It's all in the shoes! I'm going to try to start the 100/200/200 back up slowly. I want to make sure I go in the gym 100%. I'm not going back until I'm completely healed.

I'm looking forward to reading how the rest of my "sistas" did this week.
And this is a little inspiration for all of us this week!

I'm always hunting workout music which you will find in my DJ Booth at Blip.fm. You can search the #mamavation hashtag or #workouttunes to see my lists. If you have any music suggestions leave them in the comment section!
