30 Day Shred | Week 1 Complete

So a full week has gone by and I'm happy to say I completed my six days. I won't lie and say that it was joyful, but I did it. For me, having accountability partners makes all the difference in the world. If I were in this alone, I'm pretty sure I would have stopped on Day 3.

Most of my workouts have  been completed after 11 p.m.,  once I am already super tired.

I worked out Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights (looking back on that sentence, I could have just said that I skipped Wednesday).

Now that I am at Day 7, I'd say I am slightly more motivated.  Brandy will definitely laugh and probably say "I knew it"...but I feel like I can already see a modest difference.   When we used to workout at OU, I'd always say I could feel and see a difference, literally right after a good workout.

Because I've been just a bit lazy about it, my current favorite moves in Level 1 are the boxing (almost zero effort) and  I like the butt kicks.   Hands down my least favorite moves are the shoulder raises and the second set of pushups. 

This week I used 3 lbs weights throughout.  I have short muscles and can tend to bulk up quickly, so I prefer lighter weights 3 - 8 lbs.  I may move up to 5lbs as I head into Week 2. 

Before the week is out, I'll be attempting to move on to Level 2 on Day 11.  Mentally, I do not feel prepared, but I will give it a go.

I think my lack of motivation is a combination of things, but largely due to the fact that I'm waiting so late and also I'm eating terribly.  I must do better about that.  Last time, I did a bit better with regards to food and that really helped.

Anyway, I am pumped to see how well my girls did.  I'm hopeful that everyone was able to complete their six workouts inspite of busy schedules!  Interetested as well?  First check out Brandy's update here!

Until next Monday...
