Plyometrics - done

Ok, my heart wasn't in it, but i did it.... sweating currently as I'm writing this...

Slacker!!! Day - 16

Today is day 16 of the workout, and I haven't worked out in a week... It's killing me, so tonight I'm working out and then working on my halloween costume...but working out for sure!!

Good news though, I weighed in this morning at 216.6...which is 6lbs less than I started...but mainly, I went to purchase new jeans this weekend and I cleanly fit into a 34 inch waist. there was one pair that were a little tight in the crotchal region...but they fit in the waist area. I ended up going with a 36, but only because the length looked better than I could find for the 34's ... and I have a belt. I'll write more tomorrow after my 3rd Plyometrics work out....

Day 10 - shoulders and arms - Part 1.5

Since last week I didn't really do this very much...because of weights...I made sure I went to my brothers house where he had weights I could use... and.... OUCH!!! I never went over 15 lbs on any workout and sometimes went down to 5 lbs... This work out will kick your butt!! I promise you,

after sitting on the floor at the end, I realized how much I use my arms to get up...because they KILLED me trying to lift myself. I'm a little sore today, should be more tomorrow.

Tonight I'm supposed to do the Yoga X, but I don't feel like I get a good workout with this(because I can't come close to half the moves), so I might do plymetrics again or maybe kenpo x just to get the cardio in. I'll let you guys know.

Day 9 - Plyometrics...The Sequel

Ok, this time it did actually get easier for me.... I did the work out and was drenched in sweat, so I got my cardio in much more than last time, but I did as the P90X suggests and "Do your best, and forget the rest". I pushed myself until I was shaking, but I never stopped...so it was a great workout. I can't wait to do it again next week!!!

Day 8 - Chest and Back....Again

Well, we are back to doing push-ups, Pull-ups, and more back workout. I just wasn't motivated to work out today, but I did it anyways... and again, it sucked!!! haha I did pace myself a little better this time so that I wasn't burned out at the end. I still couldn't do all "REAL" push-ups and switched to girl push-ups at one point... this did completely suck though, and I was sweating like you wouldn't believe...

So for all those people out there that said it was easier the second time around.... They lied!!! :)

Day 7 - Day of Rest

Saturday was our Day of rest... So I took the time to stay at home and make dinner with my fiance' and watch a full Degrassi Marathon... Sad, I know....but it's what she wanted to do, and since we don't go out as much as we used to on dates.... She could get her way with this one. Looking forward to Day 8 and starting over.

Day 6 - Kenpo X

This is the last workout of the week was Kenpo X....I was excited about this because any sort of fight training is just fun to me. and although I wasn't hitting anything. Throwing punches is a good thing... This mixed in all sorts of punches and kicks and constant moving...I think I sweat more in this one than any other. but it was by far my favorite so far.

So far the first week is done...and it was nice...I didn't do all of what I should have...but I lost a couple pounds and I think I toned up some.... So, lets keep it up some more.
