This first week was awesome. Every other day, I did 20 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes with my 5 lbs weights and balance ball. And on alternating days, I did yoga. I'm not as flexible as I was in high school but I tried my best and the poses helped soothe my aching muscles from the previous day's workout.
There was one embarrassing day with a jump rope that will probably make a good blog post so you'll just have to wait for that story :P
Originally, I was going to try and work out every day but yesterday was a bad day. And my muscles ached so bad I just gave myself a day off. I'm going to try to go the whole week this week but I wont feel bad if I have to have another day off on Saturday.
I'm not one to count calories but I did start a food journal of sorts a few days ago. I've written down everything I've eaten and it's helping me keep track of how much fruit I'm eating (or not eating) and how often I'm eating out. Also, there was one day I was hungry the whole day but was eating the whole day... looking back, I don't think I got enough protein that day. So this food journal is helpful.
Right now, the outlook is good. I'm happy. Today, I did 15 minutes of yoga and a quick 15 minute workout with weights and a variation on sit-ups. If you're curious, the workout can be found here. You have to sign up to get the workout... helpful if you're in some kind of workout rut, I think.
Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Happy Halloween!
