Day 25
Surprisingly, I got out of bed quite energetically this morning - it might have been due to the dormant sugar-rush that I stored from finishing a giant block of fruit and nut chocolate.Workout

*I just realised that I calculated wrong and was 5 short of the kettlebell swings... opps! And yeh I coudn't finish some of the lunges - it became so hard to catch my breath. Good lord, I was pooped by the end of the workout.
If the others weren't cheering me on, pushing me to keep going and counting the reps down for me, I probably wouldn't have gotten this far. I'm grateful for all the support that I received from those around me.

After a couple hours of watching YouTube videos and sitting on my butt, I thought 'Why don't I just walk on the treadmill AND watch these videos?" And it's what I did for about 25 minutes at 4-4.5km/h. I feel as if that workout of somewhat had no effect on me - I could have been walking too slowly - but I figured that it was a 100% better choice than being sedentary.
Lunch was banana "nicecream", which is essentially just blended frozen bananas. My Vitamix is a GOD at making this. The texture is amazing. One little problem occurred today... I had my blending settings on low and had the stick bashing into the frozen nanas to help them blend, but I pushed down too deeply and the blades cut the plastic and little pieces were integrated into my frozen creation. My mom's going to be mad - help!
Hopefully the pieces go right through my digestive track and no problems arise.
Fingers crossed.
