Day 273 + 274

Yesterday and today I did Insanity. Yesterday was Cardio Recovery and lasted for 34 minutes...the longest 34 minutes of my life. I sure did sweat though.

Today was Cardio Power & Resistance and lasted just shy of 40 mins.

I'm not sure why,  but out of all of the Insanity videos we've don't this far, today's  video is my favorite to do. It's hard and I still can't do it all the way through without breaks, but I enjoy it the most (belt kicks, walking pushups and all).

Tomorrow I'll continue with the program and Sunday I'll probably do Turbo Jam again.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 272

Today was a struggle.  I woke up early enough but procrastinated, so I started late and really wasn't into it. I hate the stretch/yoga parts. It makes it go by really slowly and today seemed particularly long. Today's video was, "plyometric cardio circuit," and it was 38 or 40 mins. I'm definitely feeling stronger and more confident with what I can do and also a little more flexible...probably all that stretching that I hate so much lol. I get it, I totally do, i just don't like it in the middle of a fast paced workout. It really slows things down... lol

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 261-271

Oh my goodness, I just logged in thinking it been, I don't maybe a week since I posted but my previous post was a draft and was never published!  And that was like over a week. That was on the 16 so... oye...

The good news is that I have been exercising everyday. The bad news is I totally lost count of the days, and I get a big fat "F" for documentation.

I started insanity a little over a week ago, and it's killing me. My brain doesn't like doing, "walk like a duck, talk like a duck," exercise, and this is a big huge quacker. I have my favorite days and not-so-favorite days,  but I'm truckin' along one day at a time,  and I don't let myself think more than 1 day at a time bc Insanity is overwhelming to think about.

Alright,  I'm gonna try to recap my exercise days from the 16th. Oye, I've made such a mess!

Today (Tue 9/27, day 271)
Stair leg kickbacks, 20 total 5 reps each leg. I wasn't able to get up early enough for insanity and have been non stop since 8am

Yesterday (Monday 9/26, day 270)
Insanity 40 mins

Sun 9/25 (269)
turbo jam, cardio party, 10 mins. I was late for work and got home late also.

Sat 9/24 (268)
insanity, cardio recovery 38 mins?

Fri 9/23 (266)
Insanity, cardio power and resistance

Thurs 9/22 (266)
Insanity, Plyometric cardio circuit

Wed 9/21 (265)
As many squats/pulsing squats (rotating) and pushups as I could in a minute to get my heart rate up, then rest for 30 secs in between each, until my hr dropped and repeated. I did 3 cycles  (I was inspired by the fit test).

Tue 9/20 (264)
Insanity, Fit test

Mon 9/19 (263)
3 sets of 15 compound biceps curls with overhead delt press

Sun 9/18 (262)
Cize, get into it

Sat 9/17 (261)
Cize, turn it on

I think that's it! I love runkeeper and myfitnesspal for the fact that I had this tracked there.

I've gotta get up early to do Insanity again.  Ugh, it's getting up early that I hate.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259 and 260!

Holy cow I can't quite wrap my brain around how long ago I posted but it's gotta be like a week. Thank goodness for myfitnesspal bc I can go there to reference or even to runkeeper since I use them both daily to log my exercise.

Basically i'm just finishing up the last week of Shaun T's Cize. I think there were there was a day or two where I didn't do that but I did push ups or squats or combination of both. There was even a day that I could only squeeze and 5 minutes but at least it was something.

Friday 9/9: Cize Living in the 8s, 55 mins

Sat 9/10: Cize, go for it, first 20 mins

Sun 9/11: Cize Go For It, the last 20 mins+cooldown

Mon 9/12: Cize Crazy 8s 5 minutes (bad day)

Tues 9/13: Cize You Got This 20 mins

Wed 9/14: Cize full out + cool down 38 mins

Thurs 9/15: 5 sets of 10 alternating push-ups and sumo squats

Friday (today) 9/16: Cize Turn It On (?) 35 minutes (it's a bonus disk).

I bought Insanity today and AM completely insane. I have no idea how I'm going to do it,  except for 1 day at a time I guess. I'm scared... I also decided since I'm going big that I'm gonna cut out ALL sweet indulgences for the entire 60 days,  that way when I'm done,  I won't have cravings anymore (takes roughly 6 weeks to make/break habits). What a better time like Halloween/Thanksgiving to do it when it's in your face up front and center. There's no escaping it. I know I can do it and I'm excited!

Gotta jump in bed to wake up early b4 work to exercise!

One day at a time.  One choice at a time.

Day 248, 249, 250, 251 + 252

This is the longer stretch I've gone without posting. This week really escaped me.

Sunday: 3 sets of 15 pushups and 3 sets of planks (20 secs each)

Monday: 54 mins, Cize, Go For It. I repeated several parts to learn them properly.

Tuesday: 20 mins (was late for school) Cize, Livin' in the 8s

Wednesday: 45 mins, Cize, Go cooldown.

Today:  43 minutes, Cize, Living in the 8s. I still didn't finish the whole thing,  I ran out of time even after giving myself an hour. I want to do this one over again tomorrow and finish it.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 245, 246 + 247

for the last three days I have been sticking to shantese size program. I'm currently in the second week of it and i'm doing to programs called Full Out (Friday) and In The Pocket (Thursday and today,  Saturday). Tomorrow I plan to do Full Out and Monday I'll switch to the week 3 videos.

I'm excited to see what's in store next!

I also did do my measurements on the 1st, so I just need to type it up and post it.
