Day Fourteen: Some days you just don't wanna (but you have to).

I have honestly never wanted to turn off the video more than I did today. Today it was HARD. I must have thought about switching it off and just laying around a million times. On every part of every circuit. Absolute. Insanity. Which is weird, because the yoga was okay.

I did the full hour of Yoga Meltdown before today's level two of the 30 day shred. Doing the yoga first has been way better, getting me super stretched up before going into the really hard stuff. Plus, that one muscle is still bothering me, but it seems to be a lot less of a hassle when the yoga comes first.

But honestly, today I hated the shred. I am so proud of myself for doing it anyway. That's the crux right there.

On the food side of things, I've been realising lately that I've just stopped using salt in the last week or so. Have I mentioned this already? I was just talking to my dad about it earlier, so I can't remember if I'm repeating myself or if it just feels that way from telling him. I can't remember. It's just interesting because when I first started this diet shift at the beginning of January, I think I was using more salt and overall seasonings. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, I just didn't feel like it needed it any more. It's like all of the sudden I can taste the food perfectly fine without it. I feel like maybe a healthy diet is self perpetuating.

Anyway, I'm off for tonight, but please-send me high-motivation thoughts tomorrow. I'm really hoping it'll be easier to make it through the shred tomorrow!
