Day 18
Well today is my first WW day. I haven't even started tracking my points yet, but I will write things down in a few minutes. This morning was Max Cardio Burn Abs. I love this workout and I was sweating buckets this morning (house was warmer than it has been). I got most of the moves this time and feel it was a great workout.
Oh - my accomplishment for the day - I did both planks on my toes and they are 16-count planks. I have been trying to do them part on my toes and go to my knees and then the second one I usually do on my knees, but I was determined this morning. It was tough but I did it and I am thrilled.
Yesterday afternoon since I worked from home and couldn't take an outside walk break (had 9 month old DS home with me) I took a workout break in the afternoon while he napped. I tried out Denise Austin's new indoor walking video and did the easy walk and the higher intensity sections followed by the stretch. This was pretty fun. More moves than Leslie and pretty interesting. Good easy workout for me to just stretch out and move with after Supercharged Sculpting in the morning.
Last night I did Winsor Bun and Thigh workout and I honestly could hardly walk afterwards. I finished up the evening with Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back session 2 - this was another good one and I learned a new pose - dead bug - that had me laughing the rest of the time! I am thinking that is definitely not the sanskrit name for the pose, but it did describe it perfectly.
So here's to a healthy eating day. I know lunch is a Lean Cuisine Panini - these are great and food lion had them on sale for $1.76! I am also having a salad with it.
Tonight is spaghetti and salad so I should do okay. I also have some carrots with me today and some fat free pudding for my chocolate craving. I need to buy some yogurt, but have to wait on payday.
I have been reading Kathy Smith's Getting Better all the time: shape up, eat smart, feel great! and it is very inspirational. I love how she writes this and her hints and tips are great. It has really motivated me on many fronts. I got a notebook out today that has different sections and I plan on writing down my food intake in one section, my exercise in another, general notes and I am also going to have a section to write down what is stressing me and how I am dealing with it. I am hoping that section will help me lower my stress level by letting me get my feelings out instead of keeping them inside and letting them stew. I am also going to try deep breathing (she suggests it) when I am in a stressful situation. I need to calm down and this may help me (see I said the book was motivational on many different levels!)
Well I better get some work done in case I have to leave early (babysitter is not feeling too well).
Have a great one.
