wednesday workout

Was so not in the mood to workout, but after having lost an inch off my waist I wanted to keep up the good work.

So the workout was from Bodyrock.tv and it was the Lookin Fierce Workout.


It took me 15:58 for me to complete 4 rounds of this circuit workout.

It was fun and really worked my rear and abs.   i'm glad i did it!

Progress

Okay, my eating habits have not been the best with family coming in and the holiday weekend..However, My eating habits during the week are better and helping to clean out the bad eating. I have had plenty of water to combat salty foods and am eating more in moderation when it comes to the junk and specialty food. Getting workouts in has been tough just because there has been so much going on and instead of bodyrocking i've just done squats and pushups and dips sans intervals. while at the computer shoulder presses and leg extensions with my band to get something in. Back though to going to zumba classes and having tons of fun really pushing it every session.

Apparently it's was helping because i measured myself and my waist lost an inch. I am 3 inches away from my goal measurement. My tummy is pulling in and that makes me happy.I have been doing a lot of fitness reading about working with my own body weight and i know which exercises i need to add weight to and this seems to be working for now. Intervals are really helpful with cardio and so is Zumba.I read The Female Body Breakthrough by Rachel Cosgrove and I love her chapter on how to coordinate your workouts with your menstrual cycle. It makes so much sense and i think i will adapt that knowledge into my routine to strengthen it and see if it can help me push through those days when I'm just in the mood to skip working out.

Trying to meal plan is difficult b/c there are day where i just feel that i want to eat something else. Or, i get a sweet tooth and want something sweet rather than savory. How to get over that is still baffeling me.  Though my snacking is getting better and more healthy love Pistachios and cranberries. Also Mission figs..mmmmmm.

I am looking forward to the next part of my journey.

today's workout

today's workout was thanks again to Bodyrock.tv.

It's called Give Me everything Workout.

The only two modifications i had to make to this workout were my push ups and the knee lifts. Did my push-ups on my knees and my knee up free standing b/c i still don't have something sturdy enough to do lifts or dips yet ( working on that). My jumping jacks were better than i anticipated and i was able to keep my number up in the 50's (pretty good considering i hate jacks b/c of my shins.) Really had to remind myself to land gently and not so much on my toes as the majority of the foot to disperse impact. My push-ups were in the 20s and my deadlifts were between 11 and 15 i think per leg. I started concentrating on form so i lost count.

I am so glad i did get the workout in. I feel better. I almost skipped today. It was along and full day with kids housework and sore from yesterday's Brazil Butt Lift workout.

Eating today i think i needed more water today especially having been outside hanging laundry in 103 degree heat. However it was definitely more healthy and more satisfying. My goal this week is to make ahead one meal ..mostly dinner and to find recipes for freezing and get more veggies in.

I think that is it..my brain is starting to shut down. Must sleep.
