Well, I wasn't feeling much oomph for working out today but I convinced myself to just do it. I started with a short hamstrings video and very quickly felt just hot and my head started pounding. I finished but then just laid on my mat for a while and finally decided to take a rest day. I hate to get off schedule but that isn't a normal reaction so maybe my brain's rebellion really was trying to tell me my body wants the day off. I've been wanting to get my gym cleaned out and reorganized so I guess I will take this time to start taking everything out of it except the big equipment. I told hubby I've been reluctant to start bc I'm not sure I can do it all in a day and wouldn't be able to workout but he reminded me I can use the TV and space in the main part of the basement while I reconstruct the gym so starting today seems like a good plan. I'll see how much I can get done before the Twins game starts.

The end is in sight. Week 9 of 10 of EPIC HEAT is in the books. Towels so full of sweat and nose running like a hose. I feel accomplished!

EMOM didn't seem to go any better than the last one except that I just did what I could while still getting the 15 sec rest. Didn't like it but no worse for the wear. I was just relieved when it was over! On the good days I do feel accomplished. My 'play week' is mostly new to me instructors and lots of kettlebells and full body work.

Sandy - I have a feeling I'm going to do HEAT and think it's harder than I and II! Extra back pats for you. I imagined you chasing me during my race to try and get my feet to move faster - didn't work. Next time I'm going to imagine you next to me, running with me - that will probably work better.

Vannie - How's the exercise room coming?

Buff, I moved a lot of stuff out on Saturday before my headache got too bad and I had to quit. Sunday I worked on putting it back together but realized I need help with a couple things. My dad should be here next week, I think, and he said he will help me so I just put it back enough to be usable.

Way to go with your Epic rotations, ladies! They sound like hard workouts.

I can never do all the reps for her EMOMs. The last EMOM, she posted optional half the amount of the last exercise in sets she knew would be tough to finish. I needed that.

Well, since you're going faster than I am, I will have to step up my game to run with you.

Man, I went as heavy as I could on today's upper body HEAT. I'm scorched.

What is going on with this weather? I can't take any more 90+ sunny days.

As hot as it is, the AC units are working overtime.

That's what I figured. If ours is actually on I can't believe anyone else has theirs off!

I was just starting supper when it went out. By the time it came back on I was too hungry to wait the hour for it to be ready so just had leftovers.
