August 10th 2024 - starting back with HIIT10 per Amy's recommendation. Struggling with some personal issues and insufficient sleep, causing a lack of energy and stamina to stay focused and have effective workouts in the Level Up series. I forget how much PUNCH these little 10-minute workouts have! I will need to remember to work these back into the daily routine even after this little step-down period.

Day 116 - August 8th, 2024

Another night of poor sleep and low energy 😞. I tried, but kept having to step down on weight or take breaks because of feeling dizzy & lightheaded. 😵‍💫

Day 115 - August 7th, 2024

Did not sleep well last night and have very little energy today. Couldn’t get through one round using a 15lb hand weight; had to step down to a 12 (not a fan of KBs as they hit my wrists.) Straight up, quit this workout and walked the track instead. Not my best day ☹️.

Day 114 - August 6th, 2024

Flys - 15s (took out the 12s, but never stepped down! 💪🏼💪🏼)

Chest presses - 20s (x2), 15s

Back extensions - 5s, 4s

Day 113 - August 5th, 2024

No weight, 12s, 15s; working with the band is rather difficult & awkward, since there’s not an easy place to anchor it, but made do.

Day 110 - August 2, 2024

At home workout, so limited weight options. Tried 20s for the wall side crunches - OOF! Nope, haha! Stuck with 10s throughout.

The only ball I have at home is this old volleyball that my dad painted to look like ‘Wilson’ after we saw Cast Away 🏐😆.

Day 109 - August 1st, 2024

15s for rows/squat presses; 12s/10s for the rest

slept HORRIBLY last night. Fatigued, headache, low energy. But still showed up and hit play!! 💪🏼

Day 108 - July 31st, 2024

Brought out the 10, 15, 20 & 25 KBs. Never touched the 10, and went back for the 30 for swings and drop squats 🙌🏼.

Day 107 - July 30th, 2024

My arms feel great!! My wrists, however, are absolutely wrecked 😖😫. 20 KB for dips, 15 hand weight for skull crushers.

Day 106 - July 29th, 2024

1st round - 45 KB all the way

Rounds 2 & 3 - 35 KB, Round 4 - 30 KB, 45 KB for squats/wall sits all 3 rounds 🦵🏼💪🏼

OH. MY. ASSSSSSS!!!!

Gonna go walk the track for 15-20 minutes

Great timing as I’m doing the 3-day ice bath challenge with Gary Brecka starting today!

8pm update: walked after workout; drank water with a little salt throughout the day; went for a 30-minute walk after work; 15 minutes of tap dancing to shake out the legs; and did a 4-minute “cold” plunge. We’ll see how SUCKY tomorrow is, lol!
