Run Run Run

So i have ran 3 times this week now, today I took a rest and did not run, but i did Melissa Bender's tummy toner workout :) Can't wait til i am done with my period so I can maybe see a difference when I am not bloated. After next week will be my first month of working out, I am excited to get over that first month hump and get along to the second month! And I am starting to like running, i feel like it does a lot more good than just doing the at home workouts.

Time to shower cuz im sweattyy (HOT)

BAI.

Month 1 Day.....uh...

HEY! ive utterly failed at filling this out. but i have still been doing my workouts, yay! today i ran for 20 min and did stomach exercises. technically im on week 3 of the workout. im noticing a LITTLE difference. but nothing yet. I refuse to weigh myself. My boyfriend thinks its stupid but I dont. Honestly, i think id become really depressed if I looked at my weight. Im monitoring my progress by pictures. I took one at the beginning of month 1, and ill take another at the end or at the end of month 2. Im more concerned with how I look when i look in the mirror rather than the number. I assume im at 140lbs, but id like to be at 110lbs or 115lbs. When i feel like ive lost weight Ill look at a scale. but until then im just working out and not worrying about numbers. Time for work :(

BUHBYE

Month 1 Day 7, 8, and 9

Okay! I have been slacking on the blogs but NOT on the workout, woo! I did skip day 7, so on day 8 I did two workouts to make up for the one that i missed. Yesterdays workout was Fast Fat Blast which wasnt TOO hard but between every workout we did high knees and mountain climbers for cardio. MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS SUCK. But they work. I am making my boyfriend and I home made grilled chicken quesadillas (Sp?) for dinner so we don't resort to something like McDogshit. I think I am going to do Sun Salutations just to get in some stretching, I dont feel sore at all so I should be good. Yaaaay!

Month 1 Day 5

So, just finished, drenched in sweat again, woo! I have noticed that working out with your 2 year old son running around has proven difficult. When you've been holding a plank for a long time and all your son wants to do is lay under you, when all you wanna do is collapse is frustrating lol. Today was Terrific Tummy Toner, lots of ab focused workouts, which is awesome, cuz my stomach is the big problem area i think for me. Going out to Outback Steakhouse for dinner tonight for Mothers Day, I will make good choices! haha. The link to the workout for today is .................................................

Peace out and stay sweaty.

Month 1 Day 4

Oh dear god. Today was hard. The workout today was a challenge to say the least. SO HAPPY I made it through it. It consisted of 5 burpees in between each workout for a total of 35 burpees. Then 15 reps of the following: Up/down dog, lunge jumps, right plank leg lift, left plank leg lift, leg lift sit ups, supermans, and tricep leg lifts. I'm honestly not strong enough for the right/left leg plank lifts or tricep lifts. I honestly tried but theyre so incredibly hard. So in place of those i did the workout where you go down into plank position and bring your knees to your elbows and then back. So i did ten of those on both sides. And I got into push up position for the tricep leg lifts and lifted each leg up 15 times. I ended with my yoga warm up/cool down poses and a little jump roping. And ate a banana cuz i am crazy hungry, lol. But I finished it! and my arms and legs are shaking and I was sweating like crazy but hell yes for sweat! Tomorrow i am reading is going to be hard too.....bring it on bitch!

Day 4 workout that I did today:
Work That Body

Month 1 Day 3 Rest Day

Today is rest day. WOO! My legs and stomach are extremely sore. I did yoga warm ups to stretch my muscles today, even though its rest day, i figured a little light stretching/workout wont hurt. I'm trying to stay off my knee though, I think I have a bad knee. Every time I start working out or running my right knee always ends up hurting very badly. I'm thinking about investing in a knee brace. If anyone knows any stretches for the knees let me know! I don't want this knee to deter me from wanting to work out but I also dont want to blow my knee out. Wouldn't be fun. Tomorrow is the "Work that Body" workout, it is gonna be tough! But I am excited! :)

Month 1 Day 2 CARDIO death day

Today, was cardio day. Which is my worst enemy. 30 minute run. I warmed up with Melissa Bender's Sun Salutations, I ran for 25 minutes, and then hopped in the pool and swam a few laps to make up for the lost 5 minutes. I hate running. It sucked, but woo hoo that i finished it! Tomorrow is a rest day, yay! :) All i look forward to is getting into good shape and feeling better about myself!
