Workout: Cardio Party 1

I was too exhausted last night after work to exercise. It didn't help that I ate garbage. I did journal it, however, but I'm defeating the purpose and I need to stop this spiral. I am going to challenge myself not to have sweets this next week. I am a big proponent of Moderation in All Things, but I think I need something drastic to check myself.

Good workout tonight- I love Cardio Party 1. Of course, I have done this thing to death, but there are some things I do to relieve the tedium. (NOTE- the workout is a blast, but once you have done anything hundreds of times it is going to get tedious)

One technique I use is to rotate which wall of the room I am looking at. This is especially helpful on the 'Mama Said Knock You Out' section that is both long and strenuous. Each 32 count you shift to face a different wall.

I am also focusing on keeping my weight over my toes and not in my heels (in order to protect my knees).

My diet was MUCH better today. I was tempted a little by the sweets at work (I manage a bookstore) but nothing I couldn't handle. I went over by 7 points for the day, but compared to the 20+ I've been over the last few days I'll call that a success!

You don't drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there.
