A day of good is often followed by another day of good. It's just so addictive!
Today's Workout: Workout 11
What a workout it is! I love at the beginning how Jillian says this is probably the hardest workout she's ever put together. Freaked me out before I even started. And you know, there were some terrible and difficult moves in there, but I could modify and it gives me something to work towards. I am less than 3 weeks away from finishing. How fast does the time go?! (That's a lot rhetorical)
The warmup was good. I could do all of it, and nothing stood out. Circuits 1 and 2 were almost torturous, but do-able. The scorpion planks... oh my. I could do the push up and lift my leg back but not sure how far it was coming. At least I was doing them! I loved the Statue of Liberty's with a jump in Circuit 3. I loved all the cardio intervals. I did not love the Crab Kicks, but I did them. Some of them at double-time even. Chatarungas were killer. As were the Pushups with the Cable (added resistance). Those were done on my knees, and even then were difficult! Also, I loved the Planks with Tricep Kickback, and I thought I would dread those. I'm not a plank girl, but perhaps I'm becoming one. Is it possible that this program is changing my mindset, changing what I think my body can (and cannot) do?
I ate well today. A lot of the standards, but they were healthy, and yummy. My variant would be dinner, which was made for the kids mostly, but I had some.

Back to cardio 3 tomorrow. We all have dentist appointments first thing in the morning, which means I likely will not get my exercises in until before lunch or the afternoon. Unless I get them done after the 7am feed. I would prefer that, but it may not happen.
Have a great day to all. Remember to make that one choice for the better -- you will know it when it faces you!
Nighty night,

Ahhhh, success does indeed breed success, doesn't it??!! Wonderful post and wonderful day. Keep it up - - you are headed towards the finish line!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your Baby G. How cute is that???
Good luck at the dentist.
I can't believe I still haven't tried the tomato and avocado pita. Must do! I really like the scorpion pushups because they're so insane. I really feel it in my abs too. I'm glad you liked this workout as much as I do.
