Good workout today. I only took a single break during part 1 – part 3. I took a quick break in the middle of part 2 then kept going following Tony. I rested my arms only during the second set of knee lifts and kept my arms up the rest of the time.

I’m eating well and that’s about it for now. I’m going to try and start posting my food intake again, so here is todays damage.

No long winded post today. It was a good day eating wise, thank goodness tomorrow is shopping day. I need to really stock up on the yogurt and the cereal. Sweat 1-2 / Ab Ripper 100 is complete. I had no problem starting the workout and I liked that. My only complaint is my heart-rate monitor watch thing won’t freaking measure my HR during my exercises. I guess I still need to play with it some more.

That’s it for today.. nice and easy and fun, just the way I like it.

Yesterday was a weird day for me and I ended up not doing my sweat 1-2/ab ripper 100 workout. I woke up around 1:30 saturday morning feeling some pain in my lower back. Once I took some ibuprofen I was able to go back to sleep. I was pretty much fine during the day saturday while I was at work but I could still feel it  a bit. I decided not work out yesterday and after another  good night sleep I got my workout in this morning.

So I completed the first week.. there is a temptation to weight myself, but I’m going to wait 3 more weeks for that.

I’m still playing around with my heart rate monitor watch and my notes are at my apartment but I think my heart rate was between 170-185 during the workout. All I know for sure was there was a lot of sweat, heavy breathing, tired arms and legs. It’s amusing to note that during certain exercises.. like the side kick, bicycle during the abs, 7/7/7, and chair dips I always say I hate that particular exercise before I do it.

Anyway.. Day 6 and 7 is done. Week 2 starts tomorrow with sculpt 1-2 at 7pm.

Long day today and motivation was a little low. I’m usually home by 3pm, but today I lucked out and got a little overtime. This meant I didn’t get home until just after 6:30. I’m now feeling a little tired and to be honest.. cardio isn’t my favorite thing  lol. Not because I don’t like it.. It just always takes me a little bit longer to get into it. My workout time is 7pm but I manged to start around 7:10.

It’s done, Day 4, Cardio 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100 complete. On tuesday I did 6 reps each of the ab exercises and today I did 7. I can feel it. I definitely got sweaty but now that it is done I feel better about myself and proud that I pushed through the mental block. I’m also still being good about keeping track of my food. Here is today’s result including dinner I have yet to consume.

Made it to day 2. My motivation was good so there was no procrastination before my workout. 7pm is my official workout time and so far it seems to be working. This means that dinner is going to be a bit on the late side. I may end up making it 6pm.. we’ll have to see how this week goes.

Today’s workout was Power 90 Sweat 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100. It went well I think. I took mini breaks in between each set to get my heart rate down a bit and my breathing calmed down. It seemed to work because I didn’t burn myself out and was able to get through the whole thing and still sweated like a pig.

When it came to Ab Ripper 100, on the advice of my Beachbody coach, I only did 6 reps of each exercise and I still felt it when I was done. (OK, he said to do 5 but I went 6)

Eating went well today. I pretty much had the same thing as I did yesterday except when I got home at 3 I had a yogurt instead. At 6 I had a shakeology shake and when I finish this post (and after my shower) I’m going to make some chicken and broccoli alfredo. I’m probably going to have a can of Bud Light with it.

I’m going to try like heck to keep track of what I’m eating so I’m plugging everything in to a food diary at http://www.myfitnesspal.com.  This is today’s results including what I’m going to eat tonight.
