Today was a busy day. The kids start school on Thursday so I’ve been running around getting all the last minute things done (snacks, haircuts, physicals). On top of that it was house cleaning day. I have 2 under the age of 10 and a golden retriever. My house gets nasty after a few days with all the dog fur and smucker’s fingerprints, so I tend to do a full cleaning once a week. This generally takes about 3 hours. So needless to say……I was tired before I even started my workout today! Thus the reason for only 20 minutes.
The Yoga was a much needed treat. I look forward to doing it now, like a “break” from the ordinary. I am definately getting more flexible in my hamstrings. It still burns like hell when I stretch them though. The pidgeon stretch is my favorite, and you guys can see a demo of it in my recap video that should be up by Wednesday or so. I also did lower body today. Man that thing still whoops my thighs! They are shaking and quaking as we speak. But I am able to do things a little longer this week. I have also started trying to test/push myself. When I feel like I’ve reached my limit I take a teeny break and then I try to squeek out 2 or 3 more. Only do as much as you think your body can handle. Better to have 10 with great form and really work your body, than have 30 that are rushed and hurt yourself. I am back on track now with my eating. Like I said, this weekend was a little iffy here and there. But I started off today right with a portein shake (recipe in the nutrition guide). These are not your average gross shakes. They have you add things like berries or bananas, and the protein powder is chocolate or vanilla flvored. So I have no problem waking up to a chocolate strawberry shake for breakfast.
I look forward to the next few weeks with you guys and I hope you are enjoying the blogs, pics, and videos. Tomorrow will be an off day, but I will still check in. Check out the website If you want more info on the 10 Minute Trainer
Man, I just looked at the pictures, and there really is a difference. I didn’t expect that in only a week. You look great.
I can’t wait for mine to finally get here….
Keep up the awesome job!
Thanks so much Becky. I can’t believe the difference either. I can’t wait to see week 2 pics!!!! Maybe once my dress gets in I’ll have to post a pic of me in that!
