Day 56 Resistance 3 - Hard Corps

Sometimes things don't cooperate, like my groan muscle: still giving me issues even though I took 2 days off to rest it. Tried doing the Mountain squats and scissors, but could only manage 1 round before it started acting up and the pain was too great. So no big deal. I switched it up to a straight drop squat and lift which felt fine and then just did some ab. Exercises which didn't require the legs to scissor kick 'off' the floor, less strain on the groin. 

Pop jumpers and the plank reaches were all fine as well. 

Monday's are a fantastic day for me because I love setting the pace for the entire week. I have never missed one since October 13, 2014! 

I made a short list of goals (just 4 modest ones) and plan to slay them all by 8am. 

Let's kick it Jedi's!!

Day 44 Resistance 3 22 Minute Hard Corps

It was another crazy night with Regina, my five year old. Not sure what's going on exactly but she's been waking up afraid every now and again. I was up 4 times last night and as you know getting up then at 5:00am is brutal. I cheated a bit and made it 6:00am, but trust me, that made little difference Haha. I fejt angry I'll admit. Then she heard me downstairs jumping around with Tony during  22 HardCorps and snuck into my routine. She also suspected I was resentful because she made a point of saying how she brushed her teeth, (she hates that and it's always a battle), got herself dressed, and even was writing in her book and sounding out letters. I mean how can you ber mad at that! Ok so I softened up...

Resistance 3 was difficult with only say 5 hours of sleep. The 'poppers' were just impossible, the split jumps with weights too and I dropped down to 10s. I did fine on the dead-drops-to-pop-up... Those I got down and very proud of my scissors. My abs are like steel now! Still something is always a bit off when I don't get a good night sleep and get delayed. Day 44 is checked off my list. Now today I help out at softball practice for the girls 

Day 41 Cardio 3

Jim Rohn is one of my favorite mentors.  He has this way of calling you on your bs, which I admire. I really wish he were still around; I'd love to meet him just to thank him for his wisdom. No one can expect to work effectively, nor parent, nor partner well if they are treating the very vessel that carries them through this world like it doesn't matter. You know what the body is gonna do? It's gonna say 'the hell with you!' And quit. 

Today is a day of worship for many. Think about being respectful of what was given to you for a reason and work with it , not against it. 

It's Day 41 for me of 22 Min Hard Corps. I've helped 4 people in just 10 days turn this vessel around. Be next! 

Day 36 Resistance 1 22 Minute Hard Corps

So how much did I not want to workout this morning? A lot! Haha. I was exhausted because I had done two workouts yesterday: taught PiYo class and Cardio 2, so my body was pooped. Thank goodness for the Recharge last night before bed. Jumped out of bed this morning . No issue. 

I think my least favorite was when Tony announced 'bonus round '. I hate those drop burpee push-ups. I also struggled today on the squat thrusts. Had to drop down to a lower weight on the 3rd round. That's not usually like me. 

I think it's due to not eating as well yesterday and I may have screwed my protein . I was a bit sloppy counting yesterday and for dinner we had mostly veggie with couscous as stupid Mom forgot to go to the store again. On to my reading now. There's a great feeling of accomplishment when I get it all done before 6:30am. And today is one of those. 

Day 35 Cardio 2

Going for another round of 22 minute hard corps because I will admit I'm spoiled. I just like keeping my workout to 22 minutes. Is that bad? I also have PiYo live tonight at 5:00pm so wanted to keep it shorter . I'm finding the big push-ups and gorilla walks all getting easier as I'm leaning out and getting stronger . Love this feeling of killing a program. Woke up with so much energy and fire today! I love Mondays for that reason : to follow my goals for the week and knock them off one by one. I had kind of a lazy, not so tight weekend with food and exercise and it was busy on Sat and Sun with errands, so felt great getting back on track this morning. 

What are you committing to this week? What are you gonna do differently?
