Day 7 - Insanity & Eating Clean

Cardio Recovery was a breath of fresh air, but since I woke up really stiff and somewhat sore the stretching was difficult is some places.

About 10 minutes into my workout Kyleigh all of a sudden started screaming (and I mean blood curdling, in pain screaming) out of now where, so I paused the DVD to calm her down.  After her continuing to be in horrible pain and screaming for over 10min I called 911 and the EMT's came out.  Of course, it was nothing and everything turned out to be fine so we are just watching her to make sure it wasn't anything serious. But it was really scary, I mean she was screaming so bad that her legs were turning purple!

So....about an hour after I started my workout I got both kids down for a nap and I pick back up where I left off.

I have pretty horrible balance, but I kept with them and stayed near the bed for support if needed.

How I feel - Unfortunately stressed out from the events during my workout, but better than I would if I hadn't of continued my workout.  I think all the stretching and yoga moves really helped my find my center and calm down from all the excitement.

(Yoga Pose, lol)

Per my HRM my Average HR was 114 with a HIGH of 166...so not high at all.

My total work out time was 51.10 min and my HR was "in-zone" for only 3.49 min...if was more yoga and stretching than "working out".

Calories burned today were 505kcal.

Day 6 - Insanity & Eating Clean

Today I really pushed myself with the Plyometric Cardio Circuit.  I stayed with the DVD and took less breaks than last time, but it was really tough!

I really got a great workout and could feel it all through my core and legs.  I still really suck and the jack-up's so I did as many as I could then went to regular push-up and then to girly push-ups.

How I feel - Worked, but really energized, however I can tell I am going to be stiff tomorrow.

Per my HRM my Average HR was 189 with a HIGH of 201...Like I said I relaly pushed myself and made myself keep going.

My total work out time was 48.12 min and my HR was "in-zone" for only 22.16 min...meaning it was STILL too high for most of it but I didn't take many extra breaks.

Calories burned today were 729kcal!!

Day 5 - Back on Track!

Since I missed the Cardio Recovery yesterday I planned on doing it today, well five minutes in and I realized I didn't deserve to take it that easy since I took yesterday off so I fast forwarded to the Pure Cardio and it was intense!

I pushed myself harder today than I have in the past two weeks of working out.  It was extremely hard and I had to take extra breaks, but I paused the DVD caught my breath and dove right back in with them and finished!

When I say I pushed myself, I mean I had already burned over 200kcal by the time I had warmed up and done my stretching!

Now, I didn't do everything perfect by any means...I still modified movements that I couldn't do like the jack-up's...which are crazy hard!  I did like one and fell flat on my face so I then started doing regular push-ups.  Next set I attempted one more and again fell flat on my face so I continued doing regular push-ups until I finally finishing with modified girl push-ups.

(I set up my phone so that when it came time for the cool down I could say "capture" and my phone would snap a few shots.  The color was all wonky so I made it B&W.)

Today was hard, but felt really good too!

NO HEADACHE TODAY!!!  Yeah!

I drank my Shakology soon after and ate a banana which I am sure helped.

How I feel - Honestly, I don't know if it was because I took the day off yesterday, but I feel GREAT!  Even after today's tough workout.

Per my HRM my Average HR was 153 with a HIGH of 204...high, but I really kicked it into overdrive (for me).

My total work out time was 50 min and my HR was "in-zone" for only 19.44 min...so not great, but I will get there.

Calories burned today were 795kcal!!!
