Tuesday Workout;

Have you ever woke up, jumped out of bed, and just been really excited to get sweaty? No? Me neither. This morning I woke up, spent about an hour in bed checking Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, THEN I got up and told myself I wasn't working out today because I just didn't feel like it. Hah. Since when do I listen to myself nowadays? So I turned on the ps3 switched DVD's and hit start. You would think at this point I would be working out right? Nope, I had to search my house for my workout watch and the chest strap. It took me about 15 minutes to find both and I thought that it was actually quite funny.

Anyways, I did level one of Killer Buns & Thighs today. Let me start off by saying Eff that workout. Holy crap. 6 minutes in, my legs are screaming and begging me to stop. There was a few moves that are also in Extreme Shed & Shred so those I was relieved by because I knew how to do them and could do them pretty confidently. I took quite a few breaks and had some interruptions through today's workout. At around 12 minutes I sat down because I felt like I was going to pass out. I rested for about 3 minutes--that time is not included in the picture. My mom called at around 20 minutes. I paused the video and grabbed water about 5 times.

My legs are my number one problem area that I have. Number two would be obliques. This video is of course targeted with the legs and with some cardio intervals. I like this DVD very much, it's difficult, it takes a lot of effort, and it hurts. All things that I like when I workout.

I didn't want to workout this morning as I mentioned earlier, I didn't feel like it. I did though. This is me becoming a better me. Not listening to my head, listening to my body and what it wants. Listening to my body is the whole thing. So work through those road blocks, I'm doing it, you can too.

After workout meal:
I ate oatmeal and raspberries after the workout this morning. I like my oatmeal on the runnier side I'm not sure why, but I think the texture of pure oatmeal grosses me out.


Did you workout this morning?

Oh, and I'm not sure why I cannot directly reply to comments on my blog. It's not giving me a reply option, so if you comment on my blog, I will reply to you. You just have to check back cause I'll just add another comment onto the post. 

Tuesday Workout!

For the past week, I've been using my Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed and Shred DVD. Man is it a good workout. I do part one, on one day and then part two the next day. Today I did part one, and I was dying. I've been very discouraged and haven't been wanting to workout; but I keep telling myself 'just give it a half hour' and I did. I'm happy and sore and everything but I feel very good. I've done part two before so I mentally have to get myself ready for that because part two is just so much harder for me. Every workout for me has been really difficult lately, and I find that that is a good thing. I'm getting up and I'm doing it. I'm not listening to my brain that's telling me not to do anything, to just relax and work on it tomorrow. 

I feel like I'm starting over. It's not necessarily a bad thing.  I know that I need to work on bettering my diet even more than I already have. I decided to only drink water on the weekdays and drink other things on the weekends. That's my goal right now and it's working out so far even though it's only Monday. Anyway enough with that. I may or may not make a whole post about my recent struggle but we'll see.

This DVD is a great workout as long as you put a lot of work into it. It's easy to skimp out when I workout with a DVD, but I'm doing it to better me, and not just half ass it.
