Week 4-- Day 26, 27, 28 and Week 5-- Day 29, 30

Whoa, I am seriously slacking on posting. 

Ah, Core Synergistics.  It was much better this time around and I was able to do much more.  It is still a crazy work-out though.  The Yoga is coming along nicely, I am able to do almost all the moves.  Still unable to do the "Crane" though. (If you don't know what this is, I encourage you to look it up, and then try to picture me doing this move, and then laugh really hard.) That is my goal by the end of this, to achieve the Crane!

My day of rest is always welcome, and I ran into it with open arms.  Yesterday was my first day of Training block 2. (which is the 2nd of 3 sections, starting month 2). The work-out was Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps.  I actually really really liked it, but it was very hard work.  I am now able to do several regular (non-sissy) push-ups.  And I must say, my muscles are starting to look very sexy ;)

As I approach the 30th day today, I've started to analyze my diet, and although I am starving to death all the time, I have lessened my calories a little because I'm not seeing quite as much fat loss as I'd like.  It is a slow process though. I should be moving onto Phase 2 of the eating schedule, but I have decided to stay behind as I don't think I'm ready for more carbs currently.  I'll probably do phase 1 for one more month until I shed all the fat I need to.  (Dang pregnancy...)

Plyometrics was today and I am really starting to love this one! It is so hard, but so so good.  Everything has gotten a lot more bearable now that I am starting to get into a routine and know all the moves.  Overall, I am feeling fantastic and am finding I don't need as much sleep now either.  All sorts of changes going on, can't say I am not thrilled!!

I have to say, as much as I dread these work-outs sometimes, I do love this program completely!!  It's a huge work in progress, but I am totally excited by the results thus far.  I will try to post pictures later today. Granted, I don't expect to walk away from this with insanely cut abs, but am definitely hoping for a flatter, tighter stomach, and am confident I'll be able to achieve it.  I can't believe more people don't do this.  Although it does take extreme dedication which is about to be tested.  My grandma is coming into town next week to stay with us so I'm moving the TV and work-out equipment into my bedroom! lol.  I don't like anyone watching...... Imagine me being shy. ;)

This is a pretty typical week ahead of me, nothing new, nothing crazy, just back to the old grind.
