Check Mark Queen

I, like many of my Lean Eating buddies, LOVE getting green check marks.

So 4 weeks in...creeping towards 5..Here's the things I've noticed so far:

• It IS possible to take liquid fish oil every day and like it b/c it tastes like Lemon Meringue
• It's taking me around 18 minutes now to eat a meal..with my timer and with my non-dominant hand
• Since I'm doing planks in some shape or form every workout, I now engage my core when I flip over in bed.  And I don't flop around like a seal.  Silly but I realized this when I flipped over around 3 AM the other morning and the bed didn't squeak from me flopping.
• It IS possible to listen to my body and do what it needs.  This week, instead of making it to Jazzercise for my active recoveries, I walked.  I walked because I've felt pretty tired and my energy was low.  And that was okay.

And the physical indicators a month in:

• Split lunges still suck but I'm getting stronger
• I can now plank forward for 60 seconds without having to take a break & rock 30 second side planks
• Some days the workouts seem like a slog but not so much here of late
• I can do single-leg Romanian Deadlifts without hanging onto something (most of the time)
