Days 72 and 73 - Giving up is not an option

Even if I can't do something, I can do SOME of it.  I can do the best I can do for the moment, and it's enough.

Yesterday's Workout: Workout 12; Today's Workout: Cardio 3

Oh, my.   I love workout 12.  The perfect blend of difficult with focused moves.  Some moves were completely off the radar.  I am thinking of the Reverse Pushups (or are these the Wheel Pushups)?  Either way, I start on my back and try to do a push up this way.  I unfortunately cannot lift my body in this position, so I flipped back to doing straight up military pushups.  And I almost couldn't complete those!  I am a work in progress.

I was scared that abs weren't going to get a viewing in this workout, but my Jillian pulled through and abs made an appearance.  I loved the Star with the Hollow Man (like Snow Angels).  I could do those.  I loved how the cardio sequences were just right, not too cardio extreme but enough to pump my heart.  I did love this workout.

Today's cardio was bang on.  I used weights when I first began (just 3s) so that for the first eight moves or so I had weights in my hands.  But I worked up such a sweat by the end of the first circuit that I dropped the weights going forward.  Perhaps I will add them for longer next time.  The difficulty is that there are so many plank moves in this series that I cannot hold weights the entire time.

I am looking forward to completing this phase.  2.5 weeks to go!

I am already making plans for when I finish.  I play beach volleyball on Monday nights, softball on Sundays, and I think I will start the 30 Day Shred on June 1st, or June 10th (depends on if I need a little break).

In terms of food, I feel like I've been in control of meals, except for the 14 cookies I ate this afternoon.  Talk about deja vu.  Killed about 1100 of my daily calories (and that's A LOT!).  Stop it Jessica, stop it!!  We all go through this, we do get beyond it.  It's my way of saying I'm in control of my body.  Ha!  Take that!  I can still eat 14 cookies if I want to, and you can't do anything to stop me.  Jessica, get over it!

So today was really bad in terms of accomplishing my goals, but tomorrow has to be better.  It will be.  Stay tuned, keep with it.  Each day is progress :)
