Day 39: Shoulders & Arms/ARX2

I love that this routine is short and doesn’t result in a ton of sweat. Not to imply that it’s easy. My arms will be feeling this for the rest of the day. And I continue to enjoy that this routine causes zero shoulder pain while presumably building the muscles that I need to strengthen in that region.

It was another lovely morning where I had time to do Ab Ripper after the main workout. My abs are still sore from Tuesday so tomorrow should be really interesting. It’s funny that I don’t feel like I’ve been able to push as hard as I would like this week, yet my body is feeling the workouts more in next-day I worked out soreness. This could be due to not having the Recovery Drink currently. Or perhaps my body is still getting over the cold. Or a combo of both.

One thing that hasn’t been doing great is eating right. At the start of my cold I didn’t think anything tasted good so I was eating less. That was good. Now my mouth constantly tastes like phlegm unless I’ve got some other flavor going into it… so I find myself snacking a lot to keep the ick mouth at bay. At work I drink a ton of hot tea, so that helps some too. I just need to not give into the desire to have popcorn, chips, etc. On a plus side, since I’ve been munching too much most of those bad for me snacks are gone or in short supply.

A cool thing for our eating habits is that we got those cookbooks from the library where you put purees in things to sneak in veggies. So, we’ve been eating more veggies in that manner and our son seems to like the foods that has resulted in. Plus, it’s always fun to try new recipes.
