Phew I'm back. Don't like leaving you guys for so long!!
This weekend was a little crazy and I'm still getting caught up from it. Here's a day by day play by play.
Day #20 - Friday
This was supposed to be cardio 1, day 6 for the week, except I just NEVER had time. I decided that instead of working out too late in the evening I would get up early on Saturday and do my cardio. And since I always like to keep my word...
Day #21 - Saturday
This was supposed to be rest day. Instead, I was up at 6am ON A SATURDAY doing cardio. Why so early? Well I had to hit the road for a fun filled day doing something Jillian would most certainly not approve of... I was off to Boston for an annual St. Patty's day pub crawl! I did get in some dancing and walking, so I'm going to go ahead and call that "bonus cardio". Oh. And actually...a sweet memory is coming back to me of me demonstrating plank leg lifts to my friends...on a stage...my bruised knee also leads me to believe there were a lot of backwards lunges at some point.
Day #22 - Sunday
Today was supposed to be workout #3. Let's do the math. Hungover Erin + Hardest DVD so far = it didn't happen. Honestly, my intentions were good, but I figured my efforts were better spent hydrating. So I spent the day hydrating and going to my niece's FIRST birthday party, and by the time I got home from that I called it an early night.
Day #23 - Monday
Ok, finally at today. I knew, despite still feeling seriously dehydrated, it was time to get back to business. I did workout #3 and it was not my best yet, felt pretty worn out doing it, but I gave it my best. So, I'm now one day off...I'll probably shift things around at the end of the week and either double up on workout 4 and cardio on Friday, or just skip my Saturday rest day.
Phase 1 is ALMOST OVER.
I am just finding all of you "Revolutionaries" out there...I started BR on Sunday, so at the very beginning stage.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I laughed out loud at the thought of demonstrating plank leg lifts on a stage in a pub...I could see me doing something like that :) :) :) FUNNY!!
I hope you are rehydrating & feeling amazing to have almost completed Phase 1! WOO HOO! I'm at ctminnesota.wordpress.com if you want to follow me.
Awesome job rearranging your schedule to fit in all of your workouts! That's so difficult for me. If I miss one I start to spiral out of control! I hope I can follow your lead in the future and turn it around.
ReplyDelete(Also: reading about your pub crawl made me homesick! I grew up in Boston, but now live in Minnesota with my fiancé.
Your planking was one of the highlights of the day! Also, there were lots of lunges and jumping jacks!
