Week 7, Day 2
My SMART Quest for today is:  Try and eat all of my meals.  It has been hard to eat every 3 hours and I tend to miss a couple of my meals. I am not binging, but I certainly don't want to starve myself either as i know that is not good for my metabolism.

Dear thighs.
As I write this I hope you are feeling the burn and are starting to melt!  It is time for you to go.  I won't miss you! (giggle).


5 Minutes of cool down at a moderate pace on the scale a "3" - Doing more kick boxing moves.
Each exercise took 3 minutes for a total of 24 minutes (8 exercises), plus 5 minutes of cool down & 5 minutes of warm up. 
I was sweating like crazy by the end of this work out.  I added 3 of Scott's workouts from one of his videos.  The Squat Thrust Mountain Climbers with push ups, Squat Jacks, and Plank jacks!  My oh my were my legs on fire as well as my heart racing!  With all of the other "kick" moves I did, my legs were really feeling it.

MINDSET: While I continue to struggle with personal issues, I won't let them tear me down.  I am better than that.  I will keep looking to my "Why" and pray for success!
