Since I said I was going to do the kickstart one...I'm doing my best to stand behind that plan.
Crap. Double cardio today.
Let me tell you, when I woke up this morning I seriously felt paralyzed. Jillian has apparently managed to find every single muscle in my body that I haven't been using recently. Yikes. Guess my old workouts weren't getting it done. However, I let the pain get the best of me and chose to rest my poor achey muscles with some extra sleep.
So, then I was feeling pretty guilty after I got home tonight, but I didn't want to do her cardio 1 dvd back to back twice (it's pretty killer), so I ended up doing cardio 1 and then settled in for a night of TV....on the treadmill. I ended up mostly walking, when I hit 4 miles I decided to call it a night. All in all, even though I changed it up a bit, I think I'm probably still on par with whatever the calorie burn expectations should have been. And at the same time, it actually felt really good to just walk out all of the tension in my legs.
Anyway, enough of the bad stuff, here's some good stuff.
First off, at this time last year I was wearing XL tops....well, I went shopping over the weekend and I've discovered that I'm now pretty much a medium. Woooo, this delights me endlessly. Here I am in my new medium sweater (please ignore the cliche bathroom mirror pic).
Now food. Who doesn't like food? So far I have to say I'm actually really enjoying the different recipes I've tried!!
Here are two of my fav dishes so far -
Vegetable soup (prepped ahead of time and separated into individual servings!)
Sirloin steak on a bed of spinach with a tomato salad....mmmmmmm this was SO good
Til tomorrow...
Food looks great, as does your sweater! I was so sick of cold food by the end of day one, I cooked my spinach instead of eating it raw. I just wilted the whole package of it with a touch of olive oil and some garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and my BF and I split it. I think I'll make that veggie soup Thursday for the next few days. I also think I'll stick with kickstart-ish eating for the next few weeks, save one day a week. I know cutting carbs works, and it sure would be nice to buy some smaller clothes for my spring break trip. Plus, we're going to New Orleans, where I will likely undo some of the progress I've made, so it will help to make some extra progress in the meantime. ;)
ReplyDeleteCardio was hard because some of the exercises made a lot of noise for my neighbors, especially running man. I had to go easy on that one. They just moved in, so I need to meet them and find out if they are willing to deal with some excessive noise 30 minutes a day, and what times might be less annoying for them. I haven't even seen them yet, so I can't gauge if they look nice and approachable. We'll see...haha.
Medium sweater, I do recall that feeling great! I am a large (size 12) right now. My goal is to also lose 40 lbs. with this program.
ReplyDeleteI am doing TurboFire as my cardio now and Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 for strength training until I get my body revolution.
Your meal choices look great! I am hoping to follow the 7-day jump start program and glad to see some of the meals.
DAMN ERIN! I know I'm late but I'm catching up on your blog now... you look gooood! And don't feel bad if some days you have to deviate from the plan. The plan is good, but ultimately you have to listen to your body. Everyone's different. I'm sure that extra sleep is what you really needed. :)
