Workout 126 - 10 Pound Slimdown: Core

My core is feeling this workout big time!  It's amazing how 20 minutes of a variety of core exercises can make your middle feel like jelly!

Naturally I had like 50 interruptions during this workout--Kailee had to potty, Gavin and Kailee tried to kill each other, the phone rang, etc. etc.  But that's okay because the pause button works nicely and saves my spot :).

Workout 124 and 125 of 2012

Workout 124: Chasing children around a resort including carrying a toddler up 5 flights of stairs and carrying a different toddler back to the resort as she had a meltdown during the fireworks show.  I know it was a good workout because I went low during the night after all that.

Workout 125: Just did C25K Week 4 Day 2.  It was a little bit more manageable than Day 1, but it's definitely a lot tougher than week 3.  Gavin really wants to do a 5K with me this fall.  He is a marathon kid (he completed more than 26.2 miles in laps during the school year).  I need to find a way to start jogging with him to help him prepare...  This is gonna be hard in the Texas summer.  I need to find an indoor track...

Workout 123 ~ Ripped in 30 Week 1

We are on day 4 of potty training so whenever she says she has to go, we drop everything and go!  Well during my workout, she had 2 successful pees as well as a false alarm.  Since finishing, she's had 3 false alarms and I think it's because she actually needs to go #2 and doesn't yet know how to do it on the potty--we've had 2 on the floor this week, FUN!  So my 30 minute workout ended up taking closer to an hour with the interruptions but that's okay :).

I am glad to say that today's workout felt a lot better than it did last week despite being very sore today from yesterday's workout.  I'm feeling great and inspired to maybe get some pilates in during nap time!

Workout 122 of 2012 ~ 10 Pound Slimdown Total Body

I feel a little out of shape having not done much circuit training lately so I decided to do 10 Pound Slimdown Total Body with Chris Freytag.  My legs feel a little bit like jelly right now, but I took great pains to stretch out in order to prevent too much soreness.

I may do a little pilates in a bit.  Maybe right now since Kailee is taking a loooong nap. :)

Happy 4th!

Workout 121 of 2012 - C25K

Did the C25K Week 4 Day 1 workout and it was hard!  I am definitely feeling the effects of not hydrating properly the last two days as well as not working out as regularly the last few weeks.

But I'm back now! :)

XOXO,

Size 6 jeans? I think so!

A week ago I went shopping for shorts and ended up finding a deal on some 7 jeans at Ross.  The best part, they are a size 6!  Naturally I have already worn them 4 times despite the 100 degree heat because I'm so excited :).

Talk about great motivation to stay on track!

Workout 120 of 2012

On Saturday night, my cousin got married and we partied the night away!  Between wearing the world's most uncomfortable--albeit beautiful--shoes for 5 hours, I also danced for a solid 1.5 hours at least.  Thus, I'm counting it all as a workout :).

Today I will hopefully get in a regular workout though potty training makes it difficult to take a moment for myself.

XOXO,
