Other: I’m becoming quite the little yogi/pilates…doer? Idk what you call someone who regularly does pilates. But I’m already noticing an increase in flexibility and stretching more has brought me closer to my goal of doing the splits :) I drank more water this week, stuck to the training plan while listening to my body and taking one rest day, and did everything I needed to earn the rewards I set for myself aka time to shop for school supplies :) Also it could be just an illusion but I think I’m starting to see more definition in my arms! Ahhhh! :) Also accomplished this week was buying & reading most of “Ultra Marathon Man” and volunteering at a local triathlon. Oh and trying all those new recipes :) Definitely a successful week <3
