I ended up taking yesterday off as a rest day. Mike had to work all day so it was just me and the girls. I wasn't feeling my best and 14 month old Kasie decided that she was not going to take much of a nap even though she needed it. So she ended up being extremely fussy most of the day and I was really pushed to the end of my rope.

I did do push ups last night before bed, though...still only got to 6 in my first set. I then did 4 "negative", where I went from starting position to down but not back up. It's the same principle as a negative pull up. I rested for about a minute and was only able to do 1 negative in the second set! Wow! My arms and chest need a lot more work. But I was able to do a PR in today's workout. Yeah!!!

I found myself kinda bummed out yesterday. Found myself starting to doubt if I'm going to make my Oct 1 goal. I guess we all have those days, but I managed to keep reaffirming to myself that I AM 25% bodyfat. I AM strong and lean. I AM full of energy. It really does help to do this even though at first when you start doing this type of positive affirmation it seems pointless. But after 3 months, it's finally starting to sink into my psyche and I'm able to stop the negative thinking a lot quicker...in fact, quick enough to prevent myself from going on a binge or some other behavior that would be destructive to my fitness goals.
