So I fell off the wagon, stopped working out for almost two weeks! Anyway, just did level 1 of the 30 day shred. Will be going on vacation on thursday for a week + so won’t be exercising there, being realistic here. BUT when I get back, 30 day shred full on. Who knows, might even attempt insanity at some stage.
NOT GIVING UP JUST YET.
edit
it’s been 5 or so minutes and I’m sweating like a leaky faucet. So glad I did it. :D :D :D
The weight came back on, and I think the chubs on my face is back! Mega bummer.
Did 15 minutes of jump rope today, could hardly do the reps without tripping. How the hell do they jump so gracefully, I look like an elephant landing everytime. Good workout though.
Gonna attempt the 30-Day Shred when I come back from my vacation.
So I didn’t do the 30-day shred again today, starting to lose steam altogether.
Am planning to pick it up again tomorrow and make up for lost days at the end of the program.
Did an hour walk today though.
So didn’t do the work out OR walk today.
Very disappointed with myself. I’m slipping, gotta get back on track!
Feeling a little shit ‘cause I missed two days of work out in a row. Did an hour walk but it’s hardly anything.
Had a huge lunch and tons of caramel popcorn.
Boo me.
TRY AGAIN TOMORROW.
So I just did the first 10 minutes of Level 1 when I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. It’s more towards the left so it shouldn’t be appendicitis. Will do my hour walk after dinner and if I’m up for it then, another attempt at Level 1.
Definitely close to giving up but going to stick this out. I CAN DO THIS.
The moves are starting to bore me at this stage, and it’s only the third day! The up side is that once you get into it, there is no issue. So glad I did it, really tempted to just not do it today.
Had four pieces of chocolate. Really good Lindt milk & macadamia chocolate. No matter, will be doing an hour walk later so hopefully that will lessen the damage. I’m happy now.
Missed a session yesterday but will make up for it at the end.
Level 1 again, body was still aching from day one’s work out! Prevailed through the torture although I didn’t go as deep into the poses as I was supposed to. Did 45 minutes of brisk walking after.
I do feel slightly different, though it could just be a psychological effect. I guess we shall see at the end of this.
Started the 30-Day Shred program today, watching Jillian Michaels motivates me for some reason. It must be all the Biggest Loser episodes I watch.
So yes, started with Level 1 without using beginner modifications. It was tough because I’ve never properly worked out for more than 10 minutes before. Ran 8 minutes once and called it a day(a year long hiatus more like). The great thing is the whole level only lasts for 27ish minutes and she switches between moves quite frequently so it’s easier, mentally, to keep up.
My mat is wet from all the sweat, didn’t have dumbbells so I used a metal vase and metal book stands. Switched between hands since the weight wasn’t equal.
Had a Green Tea Frap right before so felt a little nauseous after, will wait half an hour to one hour after meals before working out in the future.
Overall I’m quite happy with this, 29 more days to go!
