Slacker weekend - I fully admit it!

Holy....I slacked this weekend. I fully admit it.

I had plans to work out Friday night and yesterday afternoon but I was exhausted - both menally and physically. I jammed. I gave in to my inner negative voice. I KNOW that had I followed through and done my workouts I wouldnt have regretted missing them. No one ever regrets the workout...

Today I met my friend at the mall and we walked a couple of laps. I helped her spend some money on clothes (hehe). I went for groceries this morning. I cooked up some meals this afternoon - didnt follow my usual www.skinnytaste.com meals (well one was)...I fully admit the ones that werent, were a bomb :( Oh well lesson learned. Follow what you know!

Tonight I started to watch Amazing Race and asked myself what I was doing - instead of sitting through the hour show, I could be doing the Biggest Loser workout. So I plugged it in. Did my work out. Hopefully I will be a bit stiff tomorrow. I doubled up on my weights when I could - 10lb instead of 5lb. I need to get new weights....I will add that to my list of things I need when I have extra cash around.

BUT I FEEL GOOD! SO GOOD!

Thursday

Whew, worked out last night for an hour with my trainer. It was a good hour...lots of legs, running, stairs, abs.

Today I went to watch Womens World Curling with a friend this morning. This afternoon I survived 45 min of the Biggest Loser Boot Camp DVD. Did warmup, level 1&2 and cooldown. Whew.

Picked up some fruit at Safeway this afternoon too - had a gift card left so I only paid $13 for my groceries :) Love that! In the process, I found 2 more Esso ones lol

That is my update for today - off to update my Xweighted workout times :)

Oops...forgot to update

I so meant to update through the weekend with my progress. I ran out of time! LOL

Friday afternoon I followed through and completed level 2 of the Biggest Loser Boot Camp DVD. Saturday I walked to the Exhibition grounds and met my sister and the littles at the Home and Garden show. Bought myself a yummy lemonade for the walk home (in the snow! ugh).

Sunday I went for groceries first thing to cook my meals for the week (swedish meatballs, chicken spinich orzo soup and bbq chicken pineapple pizza). Met my sister and the Littles at church and then cooked the afternoon away.

Tonight I did level 3 of the Biggest Loser Boot Camp. It was good. Mostly arm weights. Just a short 10 minute blurb. It will be good to mix 1, 2, 3 (and I think that is the jist of the DVD lol) along with the warm up and cool down. Its a good decent work out.....level 1 has the cardio, level 2 and 3 have the weights.

I think mixed with my workout with my trainer this will be good. At least I am doing a bit each day.

Goal accomplished

Haha I say that so it sounds good.

Back at the beginning of January, I was walking around one of the stores and saw the Biggest Loser Bootcamp DVD. The price said $9.99 and I thought that was decent. When I went through the till, it rang up at $5...score! I bought it and brought it home.

And on my shelf it sat....until last weekend. I was joking with a friend that I should set a goal for myself to at least unwrap the DVD and put it in the DVD player. So I did. And I accomplished it. I emailed her and proudly told her that. She then asked "but did you do the work out?" I just shook my head and replied "no, that will be a goal for another day"

Why have I been putting it off? I am not sure. No, I know. I am scared.

The other day I signed up for the 26 week challenge. Online, you track your fitness time throughout the week. It posts the date and time and if it was moderate or intense. I asked my trainer last night about them. She said how do you feel....through my out of breath talking, I said everything is intense to me. So that is what I marked for my workout last night with her 1 hour of intense.

Tonight, I accomplished another goal. I did the DVD workout. Level 1 of Bootcamp. 30 min of weights, cardio and abs. I am sweaty. I am hot. I am sore already. My arms are shaky. My legs are still sore from yesterday and the running/lunges/stairs we did. Another 30 min of intense to add to my fitness tracker - which I have already updated :)

Lets see how tomorrow goes. Bring it on :)

fitness challenge

So this afternoon I did the fitness challenge.
7 min 4 sec

There it is. Written down. Commited. Now, to do WAY better in 6 months!

26 week challenge

So I am off for a few days. Going to sit around and relax and try to figure some things out.

I was browsing through my favourites online and found the link to X-Weighted. I clicked on it and they have a 26 week weightloss challenge. I signed up.

Tomorrow begins the journey. The change. The challenge. No better than midweek to start, right?

So, I have to do the timed challenge tomorrow and enter my time
20 reps of Lunge/Jump/Lunge
20 reps of Dumbell Squat and Press
20 reps of Laydown and Stand up (like burpees, but no jump at end)
20 reps of Side to Side jumps (over a towel)

**1 rep is both sides - so really 20 on each side/leg or 40 total depending how you count.

Wish me luck!
