Day 4

Measurements/Metrics

Weight - 278.7

Exercise - Sculpt 1-2

I performed the cardio doing the first of each round at low intensity (no arms) and the second round at medium intensity (arms at waist height).  I kept pace with the video and didn't have any issues.  For the Ab Ripper 100, I completed the first 60 reps, then 20 reps, then 10 reps, then 5 and 5 reps for the last set.  Those last ones are a killer!!

Diet

Breakfast - Oatmeal
Snack - 1/4 cup Mashed Spicy Sweet Potatoes
Lunch - Chicken Sandwich with Mayo, Mustard, and Lettuce; 1/4 cup Mashed Spicy Sweet Potatoes
Snack - 1/4 cup Mashed Spicy Sweet Potatoes (can you guess what I'm trying to get rid of?!)
Dinner - Pita Pizza with chicken

Feelings

I'm feeling more confident as I work my way back into the program after my sickness.  The soreness isn't really there as it was before (when I was sick), so I think I'm all good.  I'm still going to work slowly into it, by adding weight and increasing intensity.  I know I can do it (cardio 1-2), but there is no reason to push myself so hard that I weaken myself again and have to take another break.  Weight is coming off, I feel good, and that's what matters!
