Wow, the last week and a half sucked as far as doing good things for my body go. I managed to Shred only once on vacation, and my eating turned completely disastrous. And while I got back to Shred on Sunday, the eating is still disastrous. Of course I could have posted about it...
So day 24 was normal (Level 3 she is a killer), but after driving for 9 hours I couldn’t bring myself to do it on day 25. And day 26 was very awkward, trying to fit it in while we’re staying in a tiny beach house with some friends. I did it, but the...
Well, I guess you could say Level 3 isn’t easier than Level 2. Simply looking at the exercises wouldn’t make you think it’s that hard, but really, the whole way through I’m suffering. And that’s even with modifying some of the moves for my knees! I don’t necessarily feel sore anywhere, it’s just all...
Another early workout so I could get in a ride (28.5 miles) later on. I seriously Seriously SERIOUSLY must have been in a different place back when I thought this was kind of a gimme level. The walkout pushups are easy (mostly because there are so few of them), but everything else is so...
So that’s the old saying, right? ”I’ve never regretted doing a workout once I’ve finished,” or something like that. Well that doesn’t mean I don’t hate every minute of actually doing it. LOL I’m switching to morning (pre-6) Shred now just to get it done, and man does it suck. I feel like I’m...
This morning’s Shred was early (before 6) so I could get a ride in later (30 miles). It was super hard, and I didn’t feel like I was pushing myself as much as I could have. It wasn’t like I was phoning it in, but it was just kind of blah. Maybe I was...
It dawned on me while I was stretching after Shred that I can now sit up straight during the stretch where you put both arms behind your back. It sounds dumb, but before I had to either pull my knees together and up, or kind of lean back and let my hands push against...
Boy, I don’t know what I was thinking before. You know, that whole “Level 2 is easier than Level 1″ thing. I must have been cheating. I know I’ve added cycling to my workouts (about 23 miles on both day 14 and 16), but with the exception of the walkout pushups this level is...
While I was doing Shred today, I let my mind wander. Or maybe I was hypnotized by Jillian’s boobs-a-bouncing, I’m not sure. But I was wondering about the switch that got switched. You know, the one that got me back on track both eating- and exercise-wise? I don’t know what triggered it…I never do....
Holy moly, I’d forgotten how much Jillian’s boobs like to dance around in Level 2! Those distractions aside, I’m enjoying this level more than I did way back when. And by “enjoying,” I mean it’s working me harder, way harder, than I remember. I’m having to modify the v-fly things by doing a few...
