Something new to try
I’m thinking of adding something new to my workout routine. If I’m being honest part of it is a way to earn more of those stinkin’ stars but it’s also a way to keep this forward momentum going. I’m going to get up 30 minutes early every morning and do the 30 Day Shred in addition to my regular workouts after school. I’m going to commit to doing it this week and then re-evaluate to see if it was helpful, too tiring, whatever. Does anyone know how heavy the weights are supposed to be? Since it’s an every day thing I know they can’t be my normal 12-15 pound range or there won’t be time to rebuild the tissue.
Food was not healthy yesterday but that was to be expected. Actually, it could have been fairly good b/c we didn’t end up going to my side for Easter b/c Kyle was sick but b/c of that we didn’t have anything prepared for supper. There is a place around here that’s a favorite for some unhealthy food and we went there. Today my hubby and older son are going to go to his side since they live in town and Kyle and I are going to stay home. I plan to stay healthy w/food today to make-up for yesterday.
Workout-wise I kicked my own butt. Delita asked a question about making progress w/exercise and I had already been planning to dust off the longest Slim in 6 DVD. I could tell I was so much stronger than the last time I did it. Then I added Slim & Limber and played 15 minutes on the WiiFit for a total of 90 minutes. I think I burned about a million calories laughing at my 6 year old swinging his hips to the hula-hoop game. It was the 1st time that I played that one and I could definitely see that if you do it often that you will be in great shape!!
Speaking of my son he wants to go out and play and it’s finally nice enough to do it!!!!
Days on plan this month: 9
Progress toward workout goal: 223/250
Happy Easter! I hope that you had a wonderful day with you family.
How is Kyle feeling? I hope much better.
I remember reading that you could alternate the amount of weights that you use. Use a lighter weight to do as many reps as you can till your muscles just give out (burns fat and defines muscles more I think??). The next day do a higer weight but with shorter reps and sets to build muscle.STERLING would be perfect for this Q. I am not sure where she is though. She seems to have been MIA for about 17 days.
Take care

Those stinkin stars… I was in first place for a fleeting moment, but then that passed. now I’m back to my goal of getting a red star for the month. I’m glad to have something to strive for. Silly how instead of doing 45 min, I’ll make it 60, or instead of 1 hour and 15 min, I’ll make it 90 min, just to fully round out that star. After all there’s no quarter stars. What has Eileen created here?! Star-hungry monsters! I also look forward to comparing Aprils’ progress with the past few months when its’ over. Last but not least, what a great way to go back and look at all of my recorded information tallied up on one neat page.
Hope Kyle is feeling better!
You are kickin some butt, girl! I was hoping I could get motivated to just go for a walk or something!
