Shred Day 8

It took me at least 10 extra minutes to get out of bed this morning.  Being on the RAG plus starting new just don't mix well.  So, I only did half of what I had planned and I feel great.  Something is always better than nothing.  My real accomplishment today was not the workout, but getting up to do something.  I did.

But here is my workout anyway:

Biggest Loser Power Sculpt
-warm up
-workout #1
-cool down

I was going to do workout 1 & 2, but I remembered I don't like the blonde chick.  So, I skipped it.

Happy Exercising!

My Shred: Day #7

Monday

OH how it feels so good to be working out again.  I was able to run farther than I thought I was going to be able to.  I thought because of my being sick I would have to walk most of my mileage today.  Not so.  WooHoo!!  So here is what I did:

2.81 miles

25 crunches
25 bum lifts
30 twist crunches (15 each side)
25 bicycles
25 reverse bicycles
25 crunches
25 hip rock n' raise (p90x style)
25 crunches
15 bridges

Happy Exercising!

Shredding vs. the Mastitis

Mastitis is trying to get the better of me.  EVERY time I start up an exercise program, a couple weeks in, I seem to get it.  Oh man.  This week was the worst bout of it yet.  It kept me down and out for almost a whole week.  This is the 4th or 5th time I've had it with my Green Bean.  SO,  I'm finished.  NO MORE BREASTFEEDING. And hopefully, NO more Mastitis.

 I'm thinking tomorrow I will get exercising again.

Shred Day #7.  Here I come. . . .

My Shred Day #6

Monday:

After a week of sick babies and less than enough sleep, I was unsure as to whether or not my body was actually going to fall out of bed this morning.  It almost didn't make it, but my bowels made the ultimate get out of bed decision. 

Todays run felt great to be out.

run: 2.36 miles
my own concoction of abs.

My Shred Day #5

FRIDAY:

I didn't get to all the exercises I wanted to this morning, but my run was fantastic.

RUN:  3.02 miles  (including a big hill)

My Shred Day #4

Thursdays are always the worst for me.  I did not want to get up this morning, but it was very important to keep me motivated and going to get up.  I did.

Here is what I did:

Cardio Max (Biggest Loser)
Tight Ass Workout - I only went through this one time, because after Cardio Max it was all I could do.

I have never done Bridges before this workout and I didn't really know how much they really work.  Oh man, the pain.

My Shred: Day #3

Wednesday:

2 mile run
The 99.

I started at 55 because I didn't have the time to do the whole 99.  But the first time I ever did it was AWESOME.  However, I couldn't move for a few days.

My Shred Day 2

Cardio X

- this workout is fantastic.  I just love it.  Not while I'm doing it, but afterwards I feel like I could do almost anything.  Like clean my whole house in 1/2 hour.  That would be a miracle.

I"m supposed to do the

Here's hoping I get to it today.

Shredding the Pregnant Fatness

I am soon coming up on 1 year since my Green Bean was born.  And I just haven't been putting in the time or effort to lose all the weight that I gained while pregnant. (both times)  I am sick of feeling gross.  I'm sick of feeling tired.  I just want to feel good in my own skin.  And I always feel best when I am eating healthy and working out regularly.

So, I put together my own plan for the rest of the year.  That's right.  All the way through December.  I am going to tell you all about what I'm doing and how it feels to do it.  And hopefully I will get to where I want to be.

July 16, 2012:

p90x ab ripper- I only got through v-up roll-ups

2 mile run- it was so humid (I know it's nothing compared to places East of here) I thought my lungs were going to collapse.

Lean Arms Pyramid- this was WAY harder than I thought it was going to be.  I only did it one time through.

Exercise Example

Little ones just want to do what we do. Exercising isn't just to keep me healthy, it's to teach my kids how to keep themselves healthy.

Sweet Pea exercising like Momma.
