Holy Toledo Chips!

76 page views today!  I never in a million thought I'd get that many views!!!!!  Thank you so much for stopping by to my page!!!


That's a great way to end a grueling workout.

I tried Zuzana's ZWOD #1 today.  I failed.  Seriously.  I knew watching her struggle that I would definitely have problems, but wow.  That girl is super strong!

I only got through the second set of burpees (I wasn't even doing the push-up part, just holding for a second...I can't do pushups yet) and got down to do the side planks and my muscles were like "nope".

So, I wrote down fail, kept the timer going and moved onto an easier routine.  I will come back to ZWOD when I get a little better.

I called this routine:

Attempt II

Leg Raises:  15 per leg, one leg at a time, tucking toe in and squeezing thigh...this really worked the inner thighs and I could feel it in my lower abs as well

Tricep Dips:  During Tabata, I would get 11 per 20 seconds, so I did 20 total, and it took about a minute

Squat Leg Lifts:  This is from Zuzana's routine, but I really liked it and could feel it in my butt big time.  I went lighter though, 8 per leg, total of 16

Push up box style:  20 reps

I did this whole thing twice then kind of fell apart the third time.  I just did each part until I couldn't anymore.

Total Time:  34:17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That's not bad, considering all of my pauses and breaks to huff and puff.

My body is super weak today.  I think it's because I'm really pushing myself with these routines and keeping a journal pushes me even harder to get it all done.

I really hope some of the "readers" from today come back.  Now I feel even more accountable for keeping this going and letting everyone know the steps I'm taking each day.
