Phase 2, Week 7, Day 4

My transformation is still going strong. Esby and I are still in Arizona and I'm working out 6 days per week. Last weekend I was in Michigan visiting family. It was kind of stressful to see so many people but I survived!

This week we had bad storms in Arizona. We have gotten into Monsoon season here. I didn't know Arizona had monsoons but we witnessed one first hand. It is like a bad thunderstorm with huge downpours and lots of loud thunder and bright lightening. The one added benefit is the dust storms that go along with it. We walked into Lifetime through a dust storm and it is really uncomfortable!! Lots of sand in the eyes and such. I'll have to remember my dust storm goggles next time.

Because of the storm, San Carlos Bay (our fave Mexican seafood eatery) lost power. We avoided going there this week, as Esby managed to point out: "What do you think happened to all that fish that was in the freezer?" Good point. But, we still managed to get sick this week, both of us suffered from flu like symptoms most of the week. But, I still managed to work out every day.

Tonight I have cardio which I'll do after my return home... it has been two long weeks! I've been doing a lot of abs lately and my stomach hurts because of that. Add flu like symptoms to that and you get one unhappy camper!

Tomorrow I have 1-800-GOT-JUNK people coming over to clear out the trash in our garage. I've decided it is far overdue. Once that chore is done, I'm going for a short bike ride to try out my new speed play pedals I bought. It's been far too long since I've cycled on a regular basis and now that I am down over 50 pounds, it is time to RIDE!

Peace out... :)
