Day 2

This morning, I woke up, and I could hardly move! My poor kindergarteners were worried about me all day, because every time I tried to sit down, I made A LOT of noise. haha You should have seen my trying to bend down and tie shoes! The workout yesterday was for chest and back, with the additional ab workout. However, I feel it in every inch of my body! I guess I know now, just how out of shape I've really been. For some reason, I was looking forward to tonight's workout all day today. I kept thinking to myself that if I work through the pain, my muscles will loosen up and stretch back out. It worked!
Today's video was called Polyometrics. It is a cardio workout, based on kicking and jumping. Tony Horton calls it the "Mother of all X Workouts." Needless to say, I was pretty nervous about it. I don't think I've ever sweat so much in my life! Every muscle in my legs were getting worked to the limit. I did have to modify a couple of the moves, but I didn't stop! There were several points throughout the workout that I didn't think I could keep going. However, he breaks each exercise up into 30 second slots....goes through 4 back-to-back exercises, then repeats the series. There were, I think, 5 blocks of 4 different exercises. Well, I kept pushing and pushing myself and I made it until the very end!
As far as food today, I did really good as well. I had a Special K bar for breakfast, chicken breast, 1 cup of brown rice, and some broccoli and carrots for lunch, and for dinner, I had a salmon fillet with a beautiful salad. Most importantly....only 1 diet coke today! For anyone who knows me, this is a huge thing. I am really trying to kick my coke addiction...lol. I drank water, water, WATER!
How am I feeling? I feel flipping fantasctic! I can not express how amazing I feel after completing tonight's workout, and not having quit even once. I feel really motivated and extremely proud of myself. My husband is so supportive. Hopefully with all of this, our whole family will benefit. We will become more healthy, by eating better, and by making sure that we take part in physical activity every day. I am more motivated now than ever, but I know, at times, it will be difficult, so please remember to leave comments of encouragement. They are greatly appreciated. Until tomorrow......God bless, and have a great night!
88 days to go!!!!
