It’s DAY 16 of our challenge and I want to know … who’s ready for some cardio or weight training today? How are your feeling after your workouts? Are you sore? Are you stretching? Don’t forget the importance of stretching. Your accountability post goes here! Have a great day!

    Unfortunately my lunch plan was derailed today. :noway: I had logged in all my foods, packed them, for today and most for the next two days. Then I find out this morning we are having our work meeting over lunch at a Thai restaurant. So I looked online for healthy Thai meals and was prepared to order one of those. Well, my boss was paying and we could only order from the lunch menu. I ended up eating some of the rice with my chicken with ginger. Ugh!! I hate when that happens. Thank God it doesnt happen often.

    S: Breakfast
    N: I am going to rate it 3-4 for the reason above
    W: Three workout challenges I am part of. And for the reason listed above I went up 13 flights of stairs to my office after lunch. :laugh: I work on the 13th floor. :noway: I love the burn!!!

    Stretching is an important part in all my workouts. I am also doing some foam rolling when time permits.

    Have a wonderful day!!! :flowerforyou:

    Oops I posted my Tuesday with Monday , that's ok I will repost it here later. I find that if I cool down for 5 minutes on treadmill after my work out, I am not as stiff later that night and next morning. Also I started using the power plate before leaving the gym. It is a excellent massager. Although these things help, I am still stiff and have tight hamstrings. I will keep working for better :smile:

    It is a journey!

    W: 30 min run & Les Mills Flow (awesome for stretching and flexibility)
    S: PM snack
    N: 5

    I love Flow! I do it 3x a week and my muscles are getting leaner and it actually helped me get rid of my acid reflux!

    The more I've been working out, the more I feel the need to stretch. I realized with cardio that my hips get sore, since they're going from sitting all day to making long strides and movements. I got back on the racquetball court Thursday and found my ankles were sore later in the day - it's funny the muscles we use sometimes. I did some yoga stretching before bed and hope to incorporate that more regularly to help minimize any soreness.

    Yes, these muscles are a funny thing. Good for you to get back on the racquetball court.:drinker:
