I hurt my shoulder/arm so no upper body work this week. I did get in a workout every day but I was less than enthusiastic and it was a half hearted effort most days but whatever. I moved so it’s all good.
I live in FL and winter is prime growing season here. The farmers market is at it’s peak and I picked up lots of goodies to start this week off right!

Fresh eggs & pasta, strawberries, kale, swiss chard, carrots, escarole, purple cauliflower, broccoli. star fruit. I LOVE fresh fruits & veggies! Honestly, I enjoy them more than junk food.

I'm at a weird place in my fitness goals. For the first time in my life I actually enjoy working out. Mostly because I stopped trying to be Jillian Michaels - forcing myself to do workouts I hated or that hurt my back/knees. Lower impact works for me and I feel better after and I hate taking a day off now.

But….because of that I'm not getting enough stretching in and I have the tightening muscles to prove it. While I like the strength I’m gaining, I had also wanted to focus on flexibility. So that's my goal for the upcoming week. Take two days off from cardio/strength and just stretch or do yoga. (Which I made myself do today – but with cardio lol)
