I'm feeling pretty good today! I ran 1.5 miles on the treadmill today and then did 2.3 miles on the elliptical, changing my resistance/incline every 4 minutes. It said I burned 300 calories on the elliptical and 178 on the treadmill. yay! Also did level 2 of the Shred today. I can't wait to check out level 3 in two days!
Yesterday was the first day I actually felt ok but I decided to take it easy and make sure. :) Today I got day 6 of the Shred in and I went to the gym and did 2 miles on the elliptical. I feel so much better! And I'm definitely happier. :D
I forgot to post my measurement results so far. I took them on day 5 because technically, that was 10 days of doing the Shred (even though they were spread out over 2 weeks) and I wanted to see if I had gotten any results yet.
Previous Measurements: Day 5 of Level 2:
Starting Weight: 178.0 Weight: 176.5
Measurements:
Arms: (L) 12 5/8 (R) 12 3/4 Arms: 12"
Chest: 40" Chest: 40"
Waist: 33 1/4" Waist: 33 1/4"
Pooch: 39 1/2" Pooch: 37 1/2"
Hips: 42 1/2" Hips: Need to remeasure
Thighs: 25" each Thighs: 24 1/2"
so yay! While I haven't lost a bunch of weight yet, I've lost inches! I'm completely happy with that!
I'm still feeling like poo. I started to try the workout last night but I honestly didn't want to push my weakened body any more than I had done already. I feel good because I did get 2 miles in yesterday morning before I got sick, but I'm still pretty crappy today so I'm skipping any workout. I hope to feel better tomorrow so that I can pick back up for day 6 of the Shred.
Evening! I'm posting a little early because I haven't done day 6 yet, but I'm about to go try to do it. Oddly enough, I got super sick this afternoon to the point where I had a fever of 100.6, chills and no energy. I thought I might not be able to get my workout in tonight but I'm starting to feel better.
I was able to get to the gym this morning and run 2 miles. Before feeling like I was going to die today. :)
Evening all! I did day 5's workout earlier today. I didn't feel as worn out afterward so I must be gaining a little endurance! Go me! haha I felt like I lasted longer on some of the cardio but for some reason the first circut always makes me want to take a break. Feeling good so far though!
Not sure if I've lost any inches or not, but I'm just below my starting weight now. I didn't make it to the gym today to get in extra cardio, but I scheduled a class for Zumba tomorrow morning so that should be fun! I've never tried it before but I'm excited. :D
Yay for 5 days in a row!
I'm in my first card swap on BabyCenter and I wanted to show off the cards I did tonight!
I found a fiskars punch in the clearance section at the PX (only $3!) and I tried it out for the first time tonight! woohoo! :D It's fun because it also embosses the paper!
