Three more weeks to go!
I was really happy with the scale late last week - one pound down! This weight is not coming off as fast as I'd like, but I'll take what I can get.
Monday: Cathe's HIIT 40/20 + cardio
Today, I wanted to work off some of my bad eating over the weekend. So, I tuned into a great workout - Cathe's HIIT video. I did all of the 40/20 HIIT - which was harder than I remembered - and still had time to kill. So I put together some of Cathe's new LITE workout Calorie Crush segments. Those were intense and kept my heart rate up! Whew! Finally, after that, a stretch.
Tuesday: Cathe's RWH: Lift It HIIT It Chest, Shoulders, Triceps + walk
I'm doing extra upper body work this week. I'm actually itching to do more upper body strength work so I may make an XTrain rotation for the summer. I lifted as heavy as I could in this workout - and it made me sore!! Nice! At lunch, I walked at the rec center to get some steps - and did some abs. I meant to do a YWA - but traffic threw me a curve ball, doubling my commute time. So, I was too tired and angry for yoga.
Wednesday: Cathe's XTrain: Legs + walk + YWA
Leg day! This is not my favorite workout but I decided to go with it this morning for a change. Some of it really, really hurts - and I like that in a crazy sort of way. At the end of it, my legs were part jelly. At lunch, I walked again - and did some more abs. And after work, YWA! Finally! This one was from TRUE, last year's 30-day yoga journey. It felt good to stretch and flow.
Thursday: YWA + RWH Core 1
I finally got to do the last YWA: Dedicate today! Yay! Yoga is such a lovely way to start the day - and today's flow was especially nice. I added on some leg stretches, since I was feeling yesterday's workout. After work, it was time for some abs. This one got me a bit hot and sweaty - and it's only 10 minutes long.
Friday: Cathe's RWH: Lift It HIIT It Back, Biceps, and Shoulders
My upper body work on Tuesday was very effective - it left me sore for a few days. So, I was actually happy to do more weights - to get the other muscles aching. Ha! This workout is really good and I enjoyed it this morning. My back and biceps worked super hard! Dang! I had to skip just a bit of the shoulder work due to time constraints.
Saturday: Dozois' Peak 10 Cardio Strength + Nordin's Butt Bible 2
This morning was rough - I had gotten very little sleep and was dragging. But I managed 25 minutes of this CS before I had to move on to the very painful Butt Bible. I love Michelle so at least that made the CS go quickly. But my butt was not very happy with Pauline this morning. Level 2 lasts for 30 minutes. Ouch! After that, I made sure to stretch really, really well.
Sunday: Cathe's X10 + RWH Core 2
I did X10 a few weeks ago, so I chose different segments to do this morning - low impact, Hi/Lo, and Fat Burning. X10 is one of Cathe's most advanced cardio workouts. It gets me - really gets me - every time. I used heavier weights than usual for the weighted portions and that kept my heart rate pretty high. Whew! After that 45 minutes, I did the second RWH ab workout. That was is tough! Finally, a stretch.
Calorie Counts:
Monday - 1198
Tuesday - 1185
Wednesday - 1187
Thursday - 1149
Friday - 1346
Saturday - 1206
Sunday - 1210
I'm finally seeing the scale move. I won't get down as far as I want to before the trip, but at least I'm making progress.
