Day 22 (R30)

First things first...I passed my skills demo!!!! It was only a 60% pass rate so I was extremely relieved when I passed!  The moment I finished my scenario I felt an enormous weight being lifted off my shoulders and I felt like I could finally breathe for the first time in weeks!  I find it remarkable that a one hour, pass/fail demo can cause that much stress and anxiety in a persons life, but it's over now and I never again have to take a skills lab!
Moving on, Week 4 is a gigantic son of a bitch (pardon my language, but it's true).  My energy level wasn't great for the workout but even putting in an 85% effort (which you should NEVER do) I had an incredible sweat going on.  After the workout I had to just take a minute and lie on the floor before I could even stand up to do the cool down.  I also finished about three glasses of water during the workout which rarely happens but I think as soon as I drank a glass my body would sweat it out.  That being said, Week 4 is great.  New muscle groups are targeted and the cardio skyrockets your heart rate. I definitely know I can improve by the end of Week 4 and I hope that by Sunday I can really push myself into completing all of the reps in each workout.

Finished my book today! I totally recommend it for the great 'tips and tricks'.

To health, happiness, and passing exams!
