Workout: Cardio Party 2

So much of Cardio Party 2 is in Cardio Party Remix it felt like I did the same workout 2 days in a row. I think I could have won a sweaty contest tonight!

Workout: Cardio Party 2 + Ab Jam

Yesterday turned into a rest day when we got up very very early to catch the Mass Ascension at the Balloon Fiesta. I was going to work out at night but was so. damn. tired. Then I got crappy sleep all night and excuses, excuses, excuses... late night workout again. I've got to get up early tomorrow and get my rhythm back! I felt so good to have my workout over and done with for the day!

NSV last night- I tried on some size 8 shorts that I wanted to wear on my vacation and they fit- not tight or anything! Hooray!

Workout: Cardio Party 2 + Yoga

Because I only did 20 minutes of yoga last night I threw in another 20 tonight, since 40 minutes of cardio tonight just felt so short (how crazy is that?).

A bit of an NSV tonight- I am on my 6th 3 month Weight Watchers Food Journal (although, these have all not been used consecutively).

Workout: Cardio Party 2 + Ab Jam

I am re-ordering my workouts so the resistance training ones alternate better with the cardio-centirc ones.

I was tempted to do yoga tonight because my quads are really sore, but I made cupcakes (stupid, stupid, stupid!) and needed the extra calorie burn.

"Persistence is much more important than perfection in the weight loss battle." - My Weight Watchers food journal said that.

Workout: Punch, Kick and Jam (w/ last 15 minutes of CP2)

Have I mentioned how much I love this workout? Just love it- each song is motivating (right up to the endless capoeira finesse when I change it to CP2).

I did this workout in the middle of the day- out in the garage, I mean, gym with NO AIR CONDITIONING. How hard core am I? At least as hard core as all those band kids marching around out there right now.

Workout: Cardio Party 2

So I totally rocked CP2 tonight, I even added plio to the finale, I felt so strong. I was sure I had torn it up. My heart rate monitor read 300. What? Something is definitely wrong- when I was using my HRM all the time (about 3 years ago) that workout burned about 450. I am going to have to dig out the manual and see what is up.

We ate at Five Guys for a treat yesterday- that was pretty darn good. Probably the second best burger I've ever had (which are):

1. Hamburger Habit/Cal Taco (a central California favorite)
2. Five Guys
3. In and Out
4. Home Grilled! (as in made at home)
5. Wendy's

We met the In-Laws for dinner at an Italian buffet. I was actually pretty smart about it- I filled up on salad and tomato-vegetable soup before I sampled a pasta, meatballs and a very modest slice of thin-crust pizza.

I am trying hard to stay motivated- I know my clothes are fitting differently and I love the conditioning I've aquired. I read a quote recently that said, "You don't have to be motivated, you just have to do it". Indeed.

Punch, Kick & Damn!

Workout: Punch,Kick & Jam

What a great workout I had tonight! Punch, Kick & Jam is so much fun- and the music is amazing! I did stop it after the finale and put in Cardio Party 2 from the recovery to the cool down for a 50 minute workout. I just felt so strong and powerful- even though I don't think I waited long enough after eating dinner to start!

Two-fer!

Workout: Cardio Party 2/ Crunch Fat Burning Yoga

Today was a 'put up or shut up' day- I knew I need to get 2 workouts in so I could meet my goals. I opted for Cardio and Yoga.

Cardio Party 2 is a great workout- not as hard as Cardio Party 1, but a great workout.

Workout: Cardio Party 2

I am psyching myself up to go workout tonight. I need to do Cardio AND yoga tonight so I'd better get moving. I am not as sore today as I thought I would be- and I really pushed myself last night. This makes me think that I have really delayed onset soreness coming and I'll be lucky to walk tomorrow.

I feel like I look leaner today. Perhaps I do- or don't. But either way, I feel healthier and that is what is important.
