Stage 2: Week 2 - Wednesday

Good Morning America:

* I am most proud of Nadia and her working through the discomfort of her knee and not making excuses.
* I am grateful for my outlook on life.
* I am enjoying in life watching The Good Wife and The Biggest Loser.
* I am committed to not going crazy when my clients give me so many excuses.
* I love my ski jacket since we are being hit with an arctic blast...bur!

Notes:

* Mom's Workout will be three days a week, so I will post the third workout tomorrow.

Thoughts:

Nadia and I will be changing our workout style next week... a few weeks earlier than planned, but we realized that we have been doing the style of metabolic demand for enough weeks now where we are possibly a little over-trained or burnt out. We won't necessarily be making it easier... it will just be different. I think this will give us a renewal of interest and re-motivate ourselves. Stay tuned! :)
