Week Two Review & the "Real" World Says Hi

Week two of Combat has now come and gone and I did well, even though I was sick for three days and had a not-so-healthy trip to Applebee's on Sunday.  I kept up with my calorie tracking, pushed myself during my 5 workouts, and lost another 1.4 pounds!  That brings my total to 7.2 so far.  Plus, I'm happy to report that my cold is on its way out and I'm feeling much better!  That's especially good since I start work and my last semester of class tomorrow.

Last semester of grad school.  Now that's an exciting and terrifying thought.  There are only 115 days until I walk across that graduation stage and I have a master's degree.  I can't wait!  But, with graduation, comes an impending joblessness, and that reality is sinking in.  Luckily, by the end of this week I will have submitted the first of what is sure to be several job applications.  I'm very excited to have already found a job to apply to that I'm very excited about.  It's in my field, has all the main components in a job that I'm looking for, and although it's a little father away that I would like, if we move it will be a reasonable commute for both me and the bf.  Who knows if I'll even get an interview, but it's a start.  The real world is standing at the end of a tunnel waving hello!

Oh, and I do have to mention today's workout since it was incredible.  I did Combat 60 for the first time today and it was just one awesome section after another.  There were tons of cool kicks and wicked punching combos.  It was super fun.  And just when you've given all you have to this super intense cardio session, they throw in a sections of push-ups and crunches for good measure.  I was not expecting that, and I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow.  That said, though, I can't wait to do it again on Saturday!

Stay healthy!
