Hey everyone!
As most of you know, I've had a rough week with injury pain! When my ankle starts hurting, I start thinking "pfft...it's hopeless...I'll never love exercise, etc". I tried No More Trouble Zones in May but just couldn't get into it!
After a few days of procrastinating, I FINALLY started Jillian's Ripped in 30, since I loved the Shred so much. Here are the 3 NSV's I encountered in that 30 minute slice of heaven!
#1- I think I enjoy Jillian! I HATE the 40 minute workouts and don't enjoy them, but hey, if I love the 20 minute ones, that's a success! I love the feeling of sweat and I am glad that even though I can't own all forms of exercise like I want, I can still be fit. After all, I lost the first 40 lbs with the same injury...so I am getting my groove back!
#2- A few minutes in I felt a breeze near my...um...shall we say..."undercarriage?" I love to work out in inappropriate short shorts (that are so short they even get me in trouble at camp once!) Anyway, these shorts used to be super tight...like cut off the thigh like a tourniquet tight. But, now they are loose around my thigh, letting a swift summer wind dance about my lady bits.
#3- I upped my calories by 200 this week and I am really feeling more energetic already. I log my calories on a little chart I make every month and I went to write down my eaten calories and my workout calories. I plugged in my 30 minutes of circuit training and I was off by 100 cals! I GET TO EAT EVEN MORE! Thank you, Jillian, for this blueberry and flax seed bowl of deliciousness on my lap.
And, of course, for the vag breeze
Cheers to getting optimistic about this journey again!!
