We went out of town for the weekend so my tracking has been off. I apologize. I missed 3 days of Shred workouts, 1 I had planned on missing, but the others I just got lazy. I also ate ridiculously unhealthy but tried to watch my portions. Much to my surprise, my weight hadn't changed since Friday. I can handle staying the same, my motivation would have taken a hit if I had gained those 2 pounds back.
While I didn't eat on track today, I watched my portions and stayed w/in my daily calorie intake.

It felt good to do my Shred workout today. I really had to convince myself to do it though. Once again, my kids pushed me to make the time. While doing the Shred workout, I was able to do more pushups (really made me happy!), I still needed to pause during a couple exercises but stuck w/ it.

Feelin' Good
Again, I didn't wake up w/ my alarm so had to make time for my workout which hasn't been as hard as I originally thought. I have to be careful not to make that my permanent fall back routine. I want to get up early, have some quiet time in the morning. My son has been getting up a little earlier each morning, which I'm not a fan of, but hey it helps get me out of bed when all I want to do is lay there.

Weight: 166 (Hell ya!)
7:30 AM - Breakfast
2 slices Ezekial cinnamon raisin w/ 1 tbsp. butter
8:15 AM - Level 1 Shred
still not able to finish every rep
9:45 AM - Snack
2 rice cakes
1 cup grapes (shared w/ my 18 month old)
12:30 PM - Lunch
McDonald's Happy Meal cheeseburger and fries
4 chicken nuggets (my son didn't finish them and I couldn't resist)
4:15 PM - Snack
1 reduced fat Sargento Colby Jack cheese stick
1 banana
6:45 PM - Supper
3 Mini Italian style meatball made w/ ground turkey, stuffing mix, spaghetti sauce, and Italian seasoning - each was about 3-4 oz.
1 cup crinkle cut carrots (love these!)
1 crescent roll w/ 1 tsp. honey (before I would finish about 4 of these and not think twice)
Exercise:
Back on pointe workouts - Legs for Days & Core work for Beginners (these only took about 10 - 15 min. total)
Toned Arms workout from Monday
My 2 lbs. loss since Monday has been great motivation. I knew McDonald's for lunch wasn't a great idea but I decided I needed a treat for being so good (I know it's only been 2 days, but it sounded really good). Plus since I'd done my Shred workout I knew I would have time in the afternoon to do my back on pointe workouts for today and burn some additional calories.
My supper was a little overboard in the calorie department (like the 3 meatballs), but I'm right on target for my daily calorie count which pleases me to no end, and I'm not starving at the end of the day.
Makes me feel awesome to be doing so well!!

Days 1 & 2
Sorry I didn't get Day 1 posted last night. Hubby needed to use the laptop for some work related surveys.
I started the 30 Day Shred on Sunday and I was breathing awfully hard and couldn't finish some of the reps, but I still kept myself moving even if it wasn't doing the same exercise Jillian and her girls were doing. I didn't stop for the whole exercise, just a few seconds, per Jillian's orders, or course!
Monday, March 4, 2013
Weight: 168.5 (I am so upset w/ myself for letting my weight get this high)
Water Intake: I got 34 oz.
I was feeling my workout in my shoulders and back, a little in my legs.
7:30 AM - Breakfast
Quick Oats w/ cinnamon and 1 tsp. honey

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

1 tbsp. butter and a banana

1 cup broccoli

I'm also trying to follow the workout calendar at back on pointe. If I don't do them every day, I don't put too much stress on myself. They're easy to do and don't take a lot of time. Some days I just don't want to change my clothes again so I don't do it. These are easy to do after my kids nap and we're hanging out together. My son likes to try and model my movements. It's a great way to get him involved at an early age that exercise can be fun!
Today was a challenge day:
20 Jumping Jacks
10 Squats
40 Russian Twists (w/ 6 lb. medicine ball)
10 Standing calf raises
5 burpees
