Body Revolution Day 3 of 90

Whew, I almost didn't get to workout tonight. I had a busy day so I intended on working out after my kids went to sleep tonight. Well, my 8 month old daughter would not go to sleep! I think her teeth are bothering her. Anyway she was so exhausted and just crying and I couldn't put her down. I finally nursed her to sleep around 11:20 p.m. (so late!). Part of me just wanted to go to sleep right then, but I promised myself no excuses. If I get off track I will slowly start making more excuses and validate it in my mind. So even though it was so late I did the cardio dvd twice. I don't know or really care if it is good or bad to workout so late. I just know that I needed to get it done. I feel accomplished.

So I burned 609 calories in the 53 ish minutes it took to complete the cardio dvds twice. Body Revolution day 3 already has me feeling more fit. I swear my pants were falling off of me today. Not my jeans, my pajama pants that are usually a little snug. I had to keep pulling them up when I got up this morning. I feel trimmer. Is that possible already? Jillian Michaels really gets results. I'm so excited to see where I will be at the end of this revolution.

I can do almost all of the cardio without stopping but those running mans... nope. I have to modify those and just jump up and down like a fool when it gets too hard, then I get back into it. I just can't do a whole minute of them. I hope by the end of it I will be able to.

Alright so tomorrow is workout 1 again along with cardio. I will be glad when I'm done with the 7 day kickstart because even though I enjoy cardio, I feel like I will get bored with the cardio dvd if I had to do it every day like I am now.

Okay, I will write more tomorrow!

What do you do if you miss a workout?

What do you all do if you miss a workout? I used to always start my workout routines on a Monday and aim for one rest day a week on Sunday. Well, what would happen every time is that I would start my workout routine and then somehow miss a day and then say, "oh I'll just call that my rest day." but then something else would come up later that week. So I would get so "off-track" that I would think I messed up everything and start all over again. But then starting and restarting gets old so then I would just give up! I'm so over it. I'm no longer going to do that. From now on, I'm picking a program, doing each workout on the next day that I can and moving on to the next workout no matter which day it happens to be. With three little kids and a husband that works insane hours and homeschooling and taking care of the house and taking the kids to church events several days a week and etc... it is not going to be possible for me to keep up with that Mon

Body Revolution Day 60 of 90

Cardio 3. What can I say about Body Revolution Cardio 3?? Okay. So at first I thought, sheesh this is a piece of cake. No problem. The second time doing the exercises is was a little bit tougher. But by the third time doing the exercises, I was pouring sweat and felt worn out. Each exercise is only 20 seconds. I like that because a lot of the exercises were easy, but some moves were challenging. When you only have to do something for 20 seconds, its not that bad. You can do ANYTHING for 20 seconds. A lot of the moves you have seen before but I was excited to see some new moves. I really cannot express how much I love Jillian Michaels and her workouts. She is the perfect motivator for me. Some people don't like her approach or her language. But I need her roughness. I need her to yell and tell me not to quit. I love the little speeches she gives while I'm working out. I love that she constantly tells me I'm worth it. Because I am. And so are you. By the way. Cardio 3 beat ou

Body Revolution Day 12 of 90

I did it! I survived 2 weeks of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution! I feel strong and accomplished. I did cardio today and burned 271 calories in the 27 minutes.  Tomorrow is a rest day, but I will still be walking on my treadmill. Am I only doing Body Revolution? No, I walk on my treadmill for 30 minutes every day in addition to Body Revolution. I am also doing the Couch to 5K program 3 days a week. On those days, I don't do 30 minutes walking on the treadmill, I just do the 28 or so minutes of Couch to 5K. So basically I get an hour of exercise a day. My exercise time is my "me" time and I've grown to love it so much and crave it. My kids are so sweet but they exhaust me. An hour a day of time to improve myself is something I really look forward to. So even though tomorrow is a rest day, I will be walking on the treadmill. Monday marks the beginning of workouts 3 and 4, and it also means I'm halfway done with Phase 1. My clothes are beginning to look looser. One s
