Day 23: workout 4 of ripped in 30

I really like this workout. It's my favorite of the four. I've read elsewhere that people think its not as tough as workout 3, but it was for me. I felt like I got a good full body workout too instead of just having a couple of areas hit the hardest. There are more plank moves again and the abs get hit harder. Yay!

I did this for the first time this morning because yesterday I was at Josh's place so we did Body Revolution workout 1 together. It was such a good experience to go back to the beginning. Kelly's right. It's not an easy workout. There's a lot to be gained by "going back to the beginning" but with heavier weights, pushups on the toes, add some plyo...Im feeling it in my shoulders today in a way I haven't so much with Ripped in 30.

My brownie plan backfired. I was dumb and gave the ex advanced warning that I was trying to do something nice for him for father's day. He basically told me to respect his boundaries and knock it off. I should've expected this, so my bad. Again.

This led to a brew of emotions which ended in me realizing I need to stop trying to make him like me. We're not going to be friends like he said originally. What did I expect? He didn't like me that much when we were married either. I was hoping that things would settle down with time, but I should've known better.

I feel liberated except for that now I have half a pan of brownies staring at me.

I took today off work to go volunteer at kindergarten field day. It was insanity. My youngest has a dr appt this afternoon so I just took him out I school and we'll head out in an hour. Nice to have some one on one time. Here's him posing for the camera at school. He cracks me up.
