Yesterday was Day 11. It ended up being another one of those days that got away from me. I had an appointment in the morning that ended up lasting almost 2 hours. When I got home, we decided to go shopping. Which, took us right into getting home with all the kids being home, cooking dinner, blah blah blah. Before I knew it, it was after 8 o'clock, and time to try and get Parker to sleep. The whole day just seemed to slip right out of my hands. The only "exercise" I got in, besides walking around the mall, was walking from the mall over to Taco Bell. Haha!! I just HAD to try one of their new Doritos Locos Taco, or what ever the hell it's called. So, Elton and I decided, that we would walk over and back to make up for the insanely unhealthy lunch we were going to eat. That was the extent of my exercising for yesterday.
The routine for yesterday was supposed to be Cardio Recovery, which is done every Thursday. So, I decided I would do that plus today's workout all today.
I almost didn't get them in again today. I spent half the morning not feeling very well. I didn't actually get around and moving until almost 1 in the afternoon. Then, there were errands to run, and a quick trip to Walmart was needed, along with playing the lottery, of course! After all that, it was time to pick up Joseph from track practice, then more running around to be done. Then a trip up to the mall, which lasted a lot longer then necessary because Parker wanted to play! Long story short, it ended up being around 8:30 until I started working out.
I started with the Cardio Recovery. Good lord is that killer on my legs!! It is a nice break from the jumping and jumping and more jumping that is involved in all the Cardio workouts! But, it is still pretty killer on your legs. There are still some moves that I cannot even come close to doing the way Shaun T. does them, so I modify a little. (I do girly moves instead.) Like last time, I was almost positive I was going to pop a knee cap right out of my legs, but, I survived.
After that, I went right into the Cardio Power and Resistance routine. This ended up being super hard after all that leg work I just did with the other routine. Even the warm up was a struggle!
I decided to do this one a little different this time. I have only made it through the first half of the work out so far, so I decided to do it a little backwards this time. I did the warm up and the stretching, then skipped to the second half. It was a lot of arm work. A lot of things I was only able to do maybe one or two of. But, I tried! It's hard for me to get into some of those positions with my thunder thighs!
So, I managed to power though the second half of the video, then went back to go through the first half. Well, I only managed to get through one round. (You do a series of different moves for a set amount of time, then break, and do the same moves again, only faster. You do this 3 times.) Yeah, there was no way I was able to get though the other 2 rounds. My legs at this point were nonexistent! I hated not finishing. But, I do have some faith in myself to finish next time around. I think I will work it the same way. Second half first, first half second.
On the bright side, according to my old scale (and by old, I am talking like, OLD. It was my Gram's old scale, and I can't imagine when it was bought) and my new scale (bought today!) I have lost 10 pounds. I do not feel/see it! When I weighed myself on the old scale, I assumed the damn thing couldn't possibly be right. It had to off by 5 pounds or more. But, when I weighed myself on the new one, it ended up being the same! So... go me!
By the way...... I did not hit the lotto...... but if you did..... can ya help a sister out? :))
