Frustrating!

Yesterday was supposed to be day 6 but ran into problems just as my workouts were beginning. On schedule was Burn2 and EZ55. Well I was having problems with Burn2. Didn't feel like lifting - not sure why as Burn 2 isn't nearly as hard as Burn 3 in my opinion. Well then my feet started to sweat and when they do that, they itch. So I tried taking off my shoes to stop the sweat but it was too late so I turned that DVD off.

I thought maybe if I sprayed something on my feet, that'd help. So I did and turned on EZ55. Well the spray made it worse as they were burning during EZ55 and had to stop about 10 minutes into it - I was really getting going but couldn't focus with the pain.

So yesterday was day 6 and I only worked out about 3 of the 6 days. At this rate, it'll take me 180 days to do the darn 90 day program. I really want to finish this goal/schedule by Thanksgiving but I need to get my butt back in gear in order to do that.

On tap tonight is scheduled Some stretching and core so I may skip that and try to do EZ55 again tonight. That'll be a calorie burner - and if I feel like it, maybe the stretching one can be done too but at this point, that's probably pushing it.

Hoping to have a much better workout and eating weekend.

I have decided. I'm trying to commit so I can succeed! I really am!

Rest Day I guess

Had every intention of working out today but then my Girls Night Out which was scheduled for 7pm got moved up to 6 pm leaving me 30 minutes of me time after work and didn't think it'd be a good idea go head out after a Fire30 workout!

So today wasn't the best calorie day. No workout and I ate out! yikes! Guess the next 4 days better be good so I can keep on track to lose some weight this week.

Well I'm tired - been a long day! Night y'all.

Day 3

On tap today was Chalean Extreme(CLX) Burn 3 and TurboFire(TF) Fire 30. I got a later start than I expected because I needed to run to the store for more peaches for the kids.

Anyway I realized I am not a fan of Burn3 today. It's my least favorite Burn workout. This has a lot of calf exercises and I don't like those - neither do my calves. So I lost my motivation shortly into them. I made it thru but didn't give full effort.

Fire 30 was hard today. I think because of the intense workout I did yesterday. I made it thru but had a few interruptions. The phone kept ringing!!!

Total burn for the 2 workouts was about 500 calories. Not bad but I ate that back in the form of a hamburger for dinner. However I am on track to make my daily calorie burn - Need to log the rest of my food yet but that should be close.

Decide, Committe, Succeed! You can do it!

Day 2 is in the books!

Day 1 was yesterday. I did ChaLean Extreme's Burn Circut 1 and TurboFire Fire 30 class. And I made it all the way thru without stopping! I was also proud of myself for getting most of the moves right in Fire30. When I first got that dvd, I loved it but stunk at the moves. But after about 5 times of watching it, I finally got them down. Now I rock at it and can't wait until next time. Burn 1 was tough. I had forgotten how much I hate lifting weights but I did it. And get this my Calorie burn for those 2 workouts was 604. And in addition to that I had to mow the grass for an additionally calorie burn on 500. Calorie burn was off the charts yesterday with around 3800 burned. Food choices weren't so great though. I really need to work on that

Today was Day 2. I scheduled torture for myself - ChaLean Extreme's Burn Intervals AND TurboFire HIIT 15. YEs both were intense interval training but I made it thru in 1 piece! And the best part is I didn't Fast Forward thru any of it or pause it. I did HIIT 15 first just because I knew that after Burn Intervals I wouldn't feel like continuing. I think Burn Intervals would be a good workout for a Fit Club meeting. It was cardio - not too intense - with light weight lifting rest periods. The calorie burn for today's workout was 571. A bit less than yesterday but today's did have a lot of recovery periods(which of course I love). Food choices were a bit better today but the hamburger I grilled killed the calorie intake for today. I just made a blueberry pie but can't eat it until I burn off the calories for it.

For those of you who don't know I have the bodybugg and have my goals set at 2 lbs a week which means I need a deficit 1000 a day to each that goal. I try to leave that deficit larger because I'm not the best at counting every calorie I eat.

On the plus side, My energy level is OFF THE CHARTS today. Between the Shakeology and working out, I can't sit still today. As soon as I sit, I get up and do something else(Which explains the baking of the blueberry pie and muffin - which are in the oven now).

Well Peace Out. Catch ya later - And if you read this, please follow me :)

OK back at it!

So after my long 'break' due to injury, vacation bible school, and my vacation to MI, I am starting ANEW tomorrow morning. I am going to Start ChaLean Extreme and TurboFire both by ChaLean Johnson. I have the next 30 days planned out. I had to modify the rest days and workouts a bit to fit my schedule so we'll see how well I can stick to what I have planned in my daily fitness planner. I am rededicating myself to workout out. I really want to be a before and after story and right now I'm no where near.

I am on a 90 day journey. More realistically It'll be a 100 day as days tend to creep up where I can't workout but by Thanksgiving, I hope to drop at least 30 pounds and be around 220. More would be wonderful if these programs really work! I really want to be around 200 by our annual trip to WI Dells so I can enjoy that a bit more and not huff and puff up the stairs.

Well since I'm starting tomorrow, I'm off to bed for a good nights sleep! Then tomorrow(after mowing and running errands-yuck!), It's Burn 2 and Fire 30. Bring It - Press Play - Just Do It!!!

Decide - Commit - Succeed
