Ooops! Days 21 - 26!

Day 21 was a day off. Wednesdays are my day off :) It was a nice milestone. I am proud of myself!

Day 22 - Sculpt - Was tired, and didn't really want to do it but I did 12 reps with the 5 lb weights.
Day 23 - Cardio - I have to make a confession, I just couldn't bring myself to do the video, so I went down to the gym and walked 2.3 miles in 45 minutes on the treadmill. I will get back to the video next week but I needed a change, but still wanted to do cardio.
Day 24 - Sculpt - This day went well - I pulled a muscle under my arm but other than that I used the 5 pound weights and did 12 reps.
Day 25 - Cardio day - I went down to the gym and ran/walked 2.3 miles in 45 minutes. I ran one minute and walked the next.
Day 26 - Today is sculpt. I also ran/walked 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. Not a great pace, but it is a start! I was able to do the dips better!

I decided to start running because I am going to a pool party for labor day weekend with some college friends in VA so I want to look good!

Days 19 and 20

Yesterday was day 19 - Sculpt. I switched weights up by two pounds in each hand and did 12 reps per exercise to be sure I wasn't too sore today. It was good, and I feel stronger!

Day 20 - Cardio - I did more of the jumps and I am working on the balance for the kicks. The only crunches I really have a problem with are the last set- full body. They are hard! I need to remember to breathe.

Tomorrow will be three weeks!

Lost track...Day 18?

So, this week was a disaster. Everything about it. I was sick Thursday. I believe the only days I worked out were Monday (cardio) and Tuesday (sculpt). I am disappointed in myself, but today I got back on the wagon and did the cardio routine. I also moved a bunch of boxes that were quite heavy, so I did a bit of weight lifting :). So, we will call today Day 18, and I will be better this week. That is all I can ask of myself.

Send me some good vibes for this week!

Day 15

Not much to report today. Did the sculpt video. I need to go buy heavier weights. I was tired, but I was able to do 8 push ups each time we were supposed to. I will work that number up to 15, but when I started I couldn't do any!

Days 13 and 14

I have officially done 14 days of Power 90! While it doesn't seem like much considering how much I have left to go, I am proud that I have stuck with it.

Day 13 - Sculpt. This day was pretty tough. I had a terrible day at work, and Lucky got in trouble at daycare. I burst into tears in the lobby of the daycare. I was very tempted to just come home and crash. But, I managed to make myself do the dvd. I figured it was only 28 minutes, and I made it to the end! So while I wasn't in the best form, and probably could have tried harder, I get an A for effort!

Day 14 - Cardio. Today I had really tight calves again. I need to remember to stretch them out, and to drink lots of water during the day, even when I am not at work. I did more abs, but I couldn't do some of the jumps. I would give myself a B for today.

Day 12

Cardio - Today my calves were not very pleased with working out. Maybe I didn't stretch them out enough. I made it through, not a great work out, but at least I did it, right? I feel like I can do the ab routine better each time, although still when I get to the end I can barely do any of the last set!
I had a long pretty miserable day, so I am impressed I did it!

Day 11

Today was sculpt! I felt very strong today. I did most of the push ups and while they were on my knees, I could tell I worked hard. The dips are probably my worst of the group. I can even do all 15 reps of the rest of the exercises!
