Body Revolution Day 58 of 90

Workout 10! It was my favorite workout so far! Holy cow I was dripping with sweat by the end. In fact I had trouble doing some of the moves because my hands were so sweaty and I couldn't hold onto the weights very well during the lunge chops! I burned more calories with this workout than any of the previous workouts. 341 calories in 38 minutes. I was super impressed.

The moves burned but in a good way. I didn't have to modify any moves because I was exhausted or anything but I did have to modify certaain ones because my big toe is bothering me. I don't know what's up with it but its my big toe on my right foot. Its sore and it feels like when your knuckles need to pop? Like that, only in my toe! Anyway so its sore when I do those curtsy type moves on that side. I broke my foot a few years ago and that foot always gives me problems. Its not from Body Revolution. And its not a problem that really gets in the way much, just feels a little sore. I will have to see the dr about it soon though just to check. A quick google search about the problem didn't really help me much. One result said it sounded like arthritis?? I have no clue but if anyone has any aadvice on my toe I would love to hear it!

Also, last week when I hurt my neck, that also was not Body Revolution related. I figured out what was happened to injure my neck. My daughter was pulling my hair last week and it was yanking my neck and that made it sore. Ugh it hurt so bad for days! But it is all better now.

Alright, so workouts 9 and 10 are awesome and nothing to worry about. The thought of cardio 3 is daunting to me because I feel like her cardio workouts are rough. I'm nervous but I will get through it, and you can too! If you are doing the program please leave a comment and let me know how you aare doing!

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
