Just finished Day 2 Cardio. I think for me the mental stamina is harder than the physical. I need to learn to shut my brain off, but my brain tends to get in the way of a LOT of things in my life. And during my workouts it's no different. As my body starts to tire my brain kicks in thinking, "I can't do this. I'm going to have to quit. This is too hard." I ignored it and continued on and I made it through the entire workout, but, boy, my brain sure can be annoying.
More than a few times during the workout I was cursing how long it was lasting. It felt like forever! Fatigue and burning muscles definitely alter clock reality.

Earlier today my boyfriend sent me a text that simply said, "So proud of you for this endeavor!" What a great motivator he is in so many ways. I'm sure I could do this all by my lonesome, but having someone cheering you on and recognizing your accomplishments is so nice. I love that guy. :)
The nutrition plan might be harder than the workouts. The food is great and the portions are actually quite a bit bigger than I'm used to eating, but every recipe is a feat! It's a lot of work to prepare meals that take that long three times a day. Once I use up the massive amount of groceries I bought to follow this nutrition plan I'm going to have to scale things in the nutrition department to work for me.
