Day Twenty & Twenty One: A bit of a mashup.

So here I am back from our weekend away and back on track. I did try and do my last round of Level Two last night after we got back, but it just wasn't happening. I started it twice, but my curry (the last non-diet food of the weekend) just wasn't sitting right and I got really sick and had to stop. I really, really wanted to finish out yesterday, but I also really, really didn't want to throw up. So the compromise was to leave it till today but to finish Level Two in the morning and then ramp up to Level Three in the afternoon! That worked great! AND didn't make me feel like I'd fallen quite as behind.

I love Level Three. Seriously. Level Three is definitely just as hard as the others, but something about it is just a lot more fun for me personally. It might be the yogaish parts and the jumptraining, but  whatever the case, I can already tell that this part is going to fly by! I've already even started considering doing it twice a day just because.

I think in a way it was good to be out of town this weekend, just so I could see how much I miss being away from my routine when I can't get it in. It's definitely my goal to make these circuits a natural part of my daily routine and I'm starting to feel like that's happened! Awesome!

It was also pretty interesting to see how my body reacted to eating all the foods that I've given up since January. I think it's pretty safe to say that I feel a lot better when I stick to my new diet! I was almost immediately more tired and just kinda gross when I ate all that stuff. That being said, I had really missed the full Scottish breakfast, so I was more than happy to have one even though it didn't sit as nicely as my fruit does. Every once and awhile, that sort of thing is just kind of necessary I think.

In any event, I'm really glad to be back and moving through the 30 Day Shred again! I'm leaning back towards doing the Ripped in 30 when I'm done with this program. I'd still love to do some kettlebell work, but I think I'd much rather do that with a trainer at first till I'm comfortable with it and that'll have to wait.
