T25 - Day 15

Woot! Day 15! Well...I think I am on Day 15? anyway... it's been awhile since I blogged. Not much to report.
On Tuesday I didn't work out at all, I took that for my rest day since I felt really exhausted and congested all day I was worried if I pushed myself too far then by Wednesday I would be worse. My baby has been waking me up so much lately that I am not getting adequate rest so that sucks.

Wednesday we just did a stretch video since we have neglected to follow that part of the schedule (we are supposed to do a stretch video every Sunday), so it was more like an active rest day.

I felt bad that I had fallen behind on the weekly workouts and I didn't want to have to go 11 days without rest or however long it would work out to, so tonight I REALLY pushed it hard and all I can say is, wow. You just never know what you are capable of until you push yourself to a whole new level.

So tonight's workout was Speed 1.0 which is the advanced cardio video in the Alpha series. Along with that I also did lower body focus right after. A voluntary double workout!? Say whaaa? I feel amazing though. I was a little concerned because usually when I do the speed workout I am dying and sweating so bad, I didn't really start to sweat until 8 minutes left on the clock (so already 17 minutes or so into the workout) and I wasn't sweating near as much as I usually do. I guess that means I am getting to be more fit? So adding the lower body focus was good I think, although I may not feel that way tomorrow when there is yet another double workout: total body and abs.

We finished our ab challenge and are thinking of starting a plank challenge now instead of repeating the ab one. I'm a little intimidated by this challenge because by Day 30 or whatever day it goes up to you have to be able to do a 5 minute plank; but as I just said you never know what you are capable of until you push yourself to a whole new level. So bring it on I say!

Nutrition has been back on track for the most part but since I ran out of water in our water jug I've been slacking on that, which isn't good! So tonight, now that we have another jug, I am going to see if I can chug back a bit -- although I'm not sure how much I can get in since it is already 10:30pm.

I'm getting more nervous now for my weigh in on Saturday because of my lack of water this week. We shall see what the results hold. I watched the biggest loser finale with Joelene last night and was pretty encouraged by all the people who had starting weights around what I was back in October 2013 and how far they have come and how much they have lost. I hit kind of a lull today in the dinner field. I am struggling to come up with new and interesting meals that are tasty, but I was also feeling pretty picky today too so hopefully I will have better luck tomorrow. I think the fact that I was unprepared really hindered me too.

Outside of that - really nothing new to report just chugging along with the T25, impressed that I am getting stronger! I don't know why that still impresses me but it does.

Well that's all for today.
