Phase 3, Round 2 of Body Revolution

Today was the beginning of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution Round 2, Phase 3! Heck yeah! Workout 9 was a great challenge. I smiled through the whole thing (well, almost all of it. There was a bit of sweating and grimacing). I was surprised at how well I did. It was easier than the first time I did Body Revolution. It was still a good challenge though and I used heavier weights for the moves. I surprised myself at how strong I've gotten.

After I did workout 9, I did a few minutes of some YouTube workouts. One was a standing ab exercise, you may have seen floating around Pinterest. It was awesome! I highly recommend it. Then I looked around at the rest of this lady's videos and they all look amazing! I also did her Glute Killer video. Man oh man. That one had me sweating and shaking. I can't wait to do more of her videos. They are great because they are all around 10 minutes long. So they are quick if you just have a few minutes. I think I'm going to add one or two of her videos on my strength days if I don't add in extra cardio that day. Please check out her videos. Seriously, awesome.

I have some pretty awesome news. The Color Me Rad 5k is coming to Virginia Beach. I was so excited to sign up for this because I wanted to do it last year but we couldn't do it. So when I heard about it this year I was all over it! Only (tear) by the time I tried to sign up, they were SOLD OUT! Ugh, I was devastated. But then today on Facebook I read that they had opened up more spots! Joy! My husband and I scored two spots and I will officially be running in my very first 5k! I'm so excited to have something to "train" for!

Tomorrow is family day, so we are heading to Va Beach to go to the aquarium. Or the children's museum. Whichever my son finally decides on. It should be a great day! Hope you all had a great day!

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
