Day 20

Legs days are definitely the toughest workout days for me. Squats followed by lunges make me feel slightly nauseous by the end, and when I do my HIIT running afterward, it is easily the toughest part of my week.

Sorry for the lack of picture...I don't have a camera and the campus library was out of cameras, somehow. Hopefully one next week!

I find myself a bit impatient as I wait for the weight to come off...but it's for the best that I keep my caloric deficit minor. There are a whole host of health problems associated with losing weight too quickly. Ideally, I'd like to be in the mid 180's by graduation. I think that's possible if I stay committed and focused. We'll see how it goes.
