Body Revolution Day 47 of 90

So I am in Connecticut at my sister's house. It is Monday. Saturday we traveled all day and I fully intended on working out but we didn't get here until so very late then my kids didn't go to sleep and so I just didn't get to workout. Then yesterday was Easter Sunday and we took the train into New York City. It was so much fun! We had lunch in Central Park and walked everywhere. I wore both of my kids, so an extra 45ish pounds I carried around wit me. I wore my heart rate monitor and the 7.5 hours of walking we did burned me 2311 calories. Holy smokes. Anyway, by the time we took the train back to connecticut and drove home to my sisters house it was 11 p.m. and my kids didn't fall asleep until 1:00 and plus I was exhausted! So I didn't get a body revolution workout done then either.

I pretty much feel like a failure but have no fear, because today I went with my sister to a track and did my couch to 5k and later I did my body revolution workout. All I need to do to get back on track is do my workout every day this week and then do a double on Sunday. The only really tricky day will be Saturday because we will be driving home. I will just have to make it work.

So that's what has been going on with me. Tomorrow we are driving to Maine for 2 days, then to Vermont for one night. I'm very excited!

    Your experience with Body Revolution has been really helpful. I was wondering if the workouts in Revolution are heavy on jumping. I live in an apartment and don't want to disturb my neighbors down below. A little bit now and then is fine but if you have any thoughts on the matter I would love to hear them. Thanks!

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
