Week 3--Day 18, 19, 20, 21

Well I guess you could say I took a break from posting :) It was a busy weekend and Dane was off work for 4 days, so I decided to relax my fingers.

Same routine, Yoga was Saturday, Legs and Back on Sunday, Kenpo on Monday.  Yoga was uneventful, I'm starting to enjoy it because when I'm done I feel so limber and relaxed, it's nice not to feel tight all over after every work-out.  Sunday was a great work-out like always, I wanted to die afterward and I've been sore ever since.  I always find that with that one, I usually end up in tears at some point or another.  Still not sure if it's just because I'm tired at the end of the week, or if that work-out really is the most difficult. Whatever the case, I always get extremely overwhelmed during it. I usually have to stop and get pumped up several times by Dane throughout it.  I go through the, "I can't do this anymore" speech, then I cry and lay on the floor and sob, and he tells me I'm amazing, so I get back up again and keep going.  This is becoming routine.  Which brings me to my next break-down.  Kenpo.  I do seriously believe that they made this video as their one "BS" video, for lack of anything better that they could come up with. Because it is absolutely retarded and the people working out with Tony are flabby, gross, and annoying.  Or maybe I just have an attitude when I'm doing it.  In any case, I once again threw a fit like a child because I'm for some reason not getting the whole "swing of the hips" motion at the beginning.  Which led me into, "I'm not doing this, this is stupid, it's a waste of time" rant.  I contemplated just skipping it, but my conscience will not allow it. Stupid conscience.  I ended up continuing and finishing thanks to Dane, my hero, once again.  I wouldn't really call it a work-out though because he was making me laugh the whole time by bouncing around in ridiculous positions and we made fun of the people on the video the whole time.  (And imagined people we know trying to do it. I know.......it's terrible.  You gotta do what you gotta do to get through it sometimes though!)

This week should be good because I get my "break" of resting up my body a little.  And boy were they right, you REALLY do need it after three weeks of beating up your body.

I wasn't as good this week with food, I usually have more discipline.  I gave into the peer pressure of my husband on Saturday night and we got Chinese.  It's also kind of difficult when you hang out with friends often, and everyone goes out to eat on the weekend, etc. Sometimes I'm bad, and most times I'm good. ;) I'm not sweating it too bad though, I'm burning off calories enough that it shouldn't be a huge stress.  I'll do better this week. 

I wasn't expecting how much this whole thing was really going to cut into my life.  Everything is scheduled around working-out and eating.  I also feel like I'm always running short on time and neglecting certain things that I need to do and pretty soon it's all piled up on top of me.  I really must manage time better now.  You really don't realize how much an 1 1/2 workout, eating, and menu planning cuts into your day.  My husband is a wonderfully patient man.  He deserves a reward at the end of all of this. (Oh wait, that's gonna be me! ;))

Today is my break, and I'm taking it....now. Week 4 starts tomorrow!
