Donna’s Fatloss blog Day 16

Donna’s Fatloss blog Day 16

Felt a bit sluggish during this morning’s workout, not quite sure why—but I suspect it had something to do with my eating light yesterday afternoon and evening. Anyway, I pushed through two sets of each exercise before ‘collapsing’ on my carpet. Made sure to eat as much as I could today so I'll have enough energy for tomorrow’s workout. I really would like to see more inches lost and tone in my arms. I always seem to lose from my legs, waist and stomach first.

Tried the quick shake again today to make sure it wasn’t the cause of my bad food reaction yesterday. Drank for my morning snack; didn’t notice any problems/issues later. But, I’m starting to think my co-workers think I’m nuts watching me bring in a grocery bag of food everyday or getting up to go the kitchen or bathroom every few hours.
