Body Revolution Week 12

Before you read this, please note, it was a rough week.  I am truly upset how it all took place and my scale reflected it!

Monday AM......Circuit 11
   I spent the evening at a fair carrying by 3 year old on my shoulders.  I think I walked for 1 mile with her.  It was nice knowing I was able to do it, but my knees are in a lot of pain this am.  I was not able to do the weighted jumping lunges, so I just did the arm movements.
I completed the bear walks, but it was painful.  I am not very good at the 3 step push-up near the end of the disc, so I either do them on my knees or just hold a plank.

Tuesday AM.....Circuit 12
   Still using 5 lb on the lap pulls.
   And still no way I can do the wheel exercise
   Using 10lb on the bicep curls.

Tuesday PM.....I worked with a personal trainer at the track.  We did lots of circuits like cardio 3

Wednesday...no workout, very sore from day before

Thursday AM...no workout, walked Six Flags for 8 hrs in 105 degree heat.
                          (Gained 1 lb from day before)

Friday AM....I had a doctor appt and was nervous about taking my energy pill, so I told myself I would postpone my workout till the evening.  Well, my procedure left me sore and unable to lift no more than 5lbs for 2 days.  So I decided to take the day off.  What is so wrong with that? Nothing, however, I ate way to much sugar and too many calories.
My result, gained 2.5lbs.

Saturday AM......Cardio 3

Sunday AM.....Cardio 3

Ended up losing 2.5 of the 3 lbs that I gained for the week, so let's hope my last week can get me back down on the scale!

Body Revolution Week 11

I am here...last 2 disc's of the program!!

Monday AM....Circuit 11
    Wow, she is going to kill me!  Pushups with the torture tube..I can't wait to burn that thing!
     Bear Walks are the worse!
    I am also not a fan of the 3 stage push ups

Tuesday AM......Circuit 12
    The lap pulls, I am using 5 lb weights
     Forget the wheel...I just hold the position on my head
  
Tuesday PM......Cardio 2

Wednesday........Cardio 3
    Still HATE this workout, I never have a probem waking up at 6am to wokout,
    unless it is a Cardio 3 day!

Thursday AM......Circuit 11
    I am doing the 3 stage push ups on my knees.

Friday AM..........Circuit 12
   The wheel still baffles me!
    The alternating squats on yor feet...tough

Saturday AM.....Cardio 3

Sunday AM.......Cardio 2

I have not been doing many double workouts. We are having 100+ degree days and I am either running my kids to camps or just hanging by the pool!


I am down 13 lbs and most likely 2 dress sizes.  I have 5 lbs to go, so I am thinking I better get back to doing 2 workouts a day if I want to lose my last 5 lbs within the next 2 weeks.  I also am not eating enough and it is starting to show in my energy.

Body revolution Week 10

Same schedule as week 9

The moves are getting a little easier to manage
If I find the time to do an extra workout, I do Cardio 2.

I am losing approximatly 1 lb a week.  However, if I attend a bbq or weekend party, I find myself doing pretty good sticking to my diet.  It never fails, I still seem to gain 2 or 3 lbs.  I then have to spend the entire week working it off and my weekly pound.

I am finding it very challenging trying to lose my goal of 18lbs, but I think it is going to be very hard to maintain it once it is off!

Body Revolution Week 9

Monday AM.......Circuit 9  
Not Sure how to explain today's workout, but....WOW!
I think Jillian and her awesome crew created these crazy moves.
I found them hard and incredibly challenging. The squatted jumping jacks are a thigh burner.
Down dog's are odd.

Monday PM.......Cardio 3
    OMG! That sucked, love that the cicuits are only 20 seconds, hate all the planks and burpees!
Tuesday AM.....Circuit 10
    I think Jillian makes Monday's extremely hard and then gives us a "liitle" break on Tuesdays.
    I am not very good at the jumping lunges with weights, using 5lbs
    Squat with a weight.  I am not yet able to stay squatted the entire time!
    I do have to say, I like the exercise where we can touch the ground, while one leg is extended.

Wednesday......Cardio 3
   I think this is one of the hardest workouts in the program.
   I have to admit, I do not do the side burpees or the cannon ball jumps.
   They exhaust me and I use those (2) 20 second breaks to regain my strenghth

Thursday AM....Circuit 9
  I am finding it is easier to do the planks with weights, my shoulders are feeling the pain.


Friday AM......Circuit 10
   Squatted Pidgeon?? Seriously, too funny, but I am able to do it!
   I am doing the superman's, but with no weights.

Saturday AM......Cardio 3
   Still not my favorite

Sunday....3 mile run

Body Revolution Week 8

Monday AM.......Circuit 7

Tuesday AM......Circuit 8

No workout Wednesday.....under the weather

Thursday AM.....Circuit 7 ready to move on!!

Friday AM.......Circuit 8

Saturday........Cardio 2

Finally took a Sunday off!

I have spent this last week only working out once a day.  I am on target with my weight loss.  It is also summer time and my 4 kids are keeping me very busy, so on some days, there is not enough time in my day.  I am still counting my calories!
