DAY 5

5 TIMES on the snooze button because I did NOT want to get up and work out but I got up.... and I am SOOO glad I did.  Was I perfect on every routine?  Nope. not even close.  I am absolutely amazing at breathing.  I remind myself of that every time and actually give myself a big high five after every breathing set. 

 I managed to stay in warrior pose without falling out today.  High Five.                Did the pushups even though they were girlie style. High Five.                           Did one whole set of the X jump jacks (slow motion but without stopping) High five

I have lots more to perfect and that is amazing because I have a long road ahead.  I went to the doctor Tuesday and I have officially lost 25lbs.  So I treated myself to a Mani/Pedi.  Hubby took me out to dinner.  I had fajitas and water.  No dessert.  Things are going good in my world.

Switching it Up

I know I am horrible about posting then getting busy but I stayed with the Dance Central and got up to where I was dancing for 1.5 hrs every morning. I have been logging 12k -15k in steps on my fitbit too.  I have had a very, very busy and stressful two weeks at school and today I have decided to refocus and get everything together so I can stop operating in chaos.  I have lost a total of 21.5 lbs since Jan. 15. and that is a blooming miracle with the way I have eaten this week.

Today, I decided to do something a little more challenging than the dancing.  I like it but it had become so mindless for me that my body had adapted to it and I didn't’ feel like i was working out.  So in true Soogie form, I went from an ant hill to a Mountain.   I bought the Insanity pack on the Xbox fitness.  Crazy? yes.  Am I able to do everything? No, not even close.  But that is OK.  I need something that is challenging me that I think is completely out of my reach.   

So today I did the first one.  I completely aced the breathing exercises.  I like the stretches.  I am not as limber on the left as I am on the right.  I had to do some walking in place while they jumped and were “insane”.  That is perfectly fine.  I will be “insane” eventually.  I earned a 53,229 session score.  I have no idea what that equates to in the Xbox world but in my world it is the starting point.  

I need to find others who do this program and follow them on here
