Day 52 Jedi

Again, not the early morning I had hoped for, but i did get my session in before noon. I think this workout Hammer Power, with the dead lifts and clean and jerk are among my favorites . I really feel so strong. I guess I'm amazed how lifting and pushing to try a little more weight can get you sweating! I used to think cardio was the only way, but that is so false, as I'm finding out .

 So comparing early morning workouts to afternoon, the former is still better because I like setting the tone. I like getting my coaching personal development done right after my session, and I like the stillness of the house (well as still as it can get with a drooling 90 lb lab breathing down your neck for love and kisses.) 

Conversely though having my daughters watching me workout and sometimes joining in (afternoon exercise) is nice. Obviously at 5:00am they are typically stil asleep. 

I was really taken today with the lightness of a 15 lb weight in my hand 'after' I hold a 20 lber. I thought to myself 'there was a time when you could barely lift a 10! ' 
I'm feeling proud. 

Do you know every day when I workout I thank god that I am healthy and I promise to be careful of my moves, respect myself and I think 'pay attention to what you're doing'? 
You owe it to everyone to be careful. I don't get sloppy . If something doesn't feel right, or I'm getting tired, I'll listen to my body. It doesn't mean I won't push to get better or lift more. I will. But I'm aware of the fragility of life, and so I take each minute carefully and not mindlessly. Hope that makes sense? 
Be well y'all!
