Week 4--Day 22, 23, 24, 25

Wednesday was the beginning of my "rest" week, and I have now unfortunately found out that I was correct, and this is anything but rest! Yoga was on Wednesday, which I am starting to enjoy, although still very teetery on the balance poses.  (Me? Uncoordinated?? No....) One of my favorite parts about the work-outs are improving my forms and getting better at everything I try after multiple times.  What can I say? It takes me awhile to get used to stuff. :)

Onto the devil of all work-outs.....my first time doing Core Synergistics was Thursday and for the first time in twenty something days, I can say I didn't feel like I got a good work-out because I wasn't able to do half the moves.  Mainly I blame the fact that the day before I think I did something to my back during yoga and it was killing me.  I feel like my body has been falling apart this week, not getting enough rest.  Tangeant:  Dane sprained his ankle very badly on Wednesday so I've been taking care of three babies this week. ;) Things have been a little difficult to juggle, so the work-out has been on the backburner of my priorities (although still managing to do them every day....it's just coming at a cost.)  Anyway, needless to say, this work-out is a killer.  My absolute least favorite thus far (but isn't every new one??).

Kenpo was yesterday and I'm finding that I somewhat enjoy it more and more every time (one of the previously hated ones also).  Once again, now that I'm learning the moves, it's much more enjoyable and I feel much less of a fool.  It's always a good cardio work-out. 

Today was my first time doing the stretch video (as I've opted out of it (hey, it's optional!) every rest day that rolls around, I don't think anyone can blame me!) and it was phenominal.  I love stretching! Easiest and most relaxing workout yet!

It's hard to believe I'm almost (ahem, only???) 1/3 of the way to the finish! I cannot WAIT for December! I'm going to baby my poor, tired, aching body for at least a week! I keep thinking about where I'll go from there.  I can't imagine doing this thing all over again (unless I feel like a glutton for punishment), but I do see myself using some of the videos again in my daily routines.  I would much rather switch it up between all different kinds of work-outs, to try other videos, or perhaps to start going to a gym with Dane. This has opened the doors at least to the fact that I do love the burn, love the high, and can't get enough of feeling fab.  Down to a total loss of 2 inches off the waist now, can't complain about that!
