Day 78

Happy 1st Day of Spring everyone!  I don't know why that makes me happy and also makes me have surge of anxiety...maybe it's because I have to go back to work soon (which I do not want to do)...or maybe it's because I still have so much that I would like to achieve before summer....Anyway, it's beautiful outside and I LOVE that!  I am incredibly sore...AGAIN!  My husband warns me that I am going to feel like this basically everyday for the next month...great.  My best friend reads my blog and has also decided to do these workouts.  I like knowing that someone else is doing them...they are so hard...and then I get to discuss them with someone afterwards.  I have so much to look forward to in the next couple of weeks..Easter with my husband's family, and my husband's fitness competition...which he has been working SO hard for...I really hope he does well.  Have a great hump day everyone!
