30 Day Shred: Day 5

Moooorning ;) *wink* (50 points to anyone who can guess the movie I am referencing. Seen my food blog? Well, it should be easy then)

Finished my Day 5 30DS workout this morning before 10:00. Laaaate start this morning after staying up passed my 2nd bedtime, not sleeping well, and my husband hitting the panic button on the house alarm on accident when he left for work this morning. At least it's Friday!

Today I was still sore in my legs during the workout. The way the workout is set up you don't do each move for a long period of time though, so once I move on it is fine. 

I really like the way Jillian has the 3-2-1 intervals for the 30DS. There are three different circuits with 3 minutes of Strength Training, 2 minutes of Cardio, and 1 minute of Abs- so you change often and work many different parts of your body. 

I do wish there were more moves specifically for your abs, as my stomach is one of my biggest problem areas. I have realized you need to make sure you tighten your abs during all the moves you can. Jillian will explain how to perform each move as you work through them, so be sure to pay attention and do exactly as you say. If you aren't in the proper form or doing the movements the right way it will effect how well the workout will provide results.

I also find myself breathing opposite the way she tells you. I am always inhaling when she says to be exhaling, so I have to work on getting that right, as it is also suppose to effect the workout as well.

As for Yesterday- I stayed over 100 calories under my goal. 4 Days down! 26 more days of 1200 calories to go. I had Honey Nut Cheerios and a banana for breakfast, leftover turkey sausage, veggies and rice for lunch, snacked on party mix, split a frozen PF Chang's Garlic Chicken entree with my husband for dinner and had a small bowl of cereal again at night.

I do have to say, this morning I weighed myself and the scale said I was 146.. but I think my weight just happened to fluctuate in my favor. It was first thing in the morning with no food in my belly. Still- it is nice to see the needle under 150.

Today is Friday, so that means tomorrow starts the weekend. During the weekend we sometimes eat out and it may be harder to keep my calorie intake so low, plus I may have to struggle to squeeze in my workouts. If I don't post over the next two days I will definitely update on Monday. 

I leave you with one of my miniature horses, Ricochet, being his curious and cute self.



Have a Happy Weekend and Cinco De Mayo! See you soon :)
