Workout 133 ~ C25K

Just did week 5, day 1 of the C25K program, and it was TOUGH!  My core is very stiff today so that made it all the more difficult to complete the workout.  Not to mention the fact that you run a total of 18 minutes in this workout and only walk 14.  I can feel some wear and tear on my knees and ankles so I am reworking my cardio plans for the next week to take it easy on them.  However, I fully intend to do week 5, day 2 on Thursday (the day before I leave on vacation).

Workout 132 ~ AM Yoga

After doing PM Yoga last night, I decided to finally try the AM Yoga workout before doing anything else this morning.  Well, I am definitely not someone who can workout without food in the system.  This 10-minute workout was hard when I had zero stamina.

On a positive note, my body does in fact feel more awake than usual and feels very stretched out and warmed up for the day.  So mission accomplished! :)

Now off to eat some breakfast!

Workout 131 of 2012 - PM Yoga

It has been a stressful day.  The kids have been at each other's throats and frankly we are all sick of each other.  It's tough spending 24/7 with the kids without Brady hear in the evenings.  I think we all could use a break from each other.  I remembered that the PM Yoga workout had some good stretching and was all about letting the day's stress go.  I certainly feel better having done it and discovered many places that are sore which the stretching definitely alleviated.

Maybe I'll begin tomorrow with the AM Yoga (if I remember when I first wake up).kk

Workout 130 of 2012

First I did the Day 1 strength workout from this program followed by 2.25 miles in 30 minutes on the elliptical.  I am feeling pretty awesome right now and look forward to some yoga later on today :).

Workout 129 of 2012 - 30 Day Shred Level 1

Tonight I decided to revisit the workout that changed my life.  I used to have to modify almost every cardio move Jillian Michaels incorporated but tonight, thanks to glucosamine chondroitin, I was able to do every single thing in the video.  It felt AWESOME!

The next several days are going to be 2-a-days.  I am still a few workouts behind from my year plan and we leave for a week vacation next Friday.  If I stick to my revised plan and workout once (I'm thinking walking around Sea World all day should count) on vacation then when I return, I'll be back on schedule.

Here's hoping I follow through!

Workout 128 of 2012 - C25K Week 4, Day 3

Well... I'm officially halfway through the couch-to-5K program!!!!  I'm so excited and proud of my progress!  I know it will take me longer than 4 more weeks to complete it but my deadline is October 6th when I plan to do my first 5K--which is also my 7 year wedding anniversary.  Too bad the hubs won't be here (he's about to deploy to Afghanistan).

Workout 127 of 2012 - Total Body Pilates

Just did Total Body Pilates.  My abs are KILLING ME from yesterday so it was a very tough workout.  I had to take some of the cheats she offered because my abs are revolting.
