Okay today has been awesome....let's start with nutrition...

Snack after morning workout was a chocolate whey protien shake made with soy milk...
Lunch: Tuna Salad (Tuna, onion, 1 boiled egg, tomato, mushrooms, carrots and olive oil), 1/2 apple
Afternoon Snack: Strawberries and nuts
Snack between Power Hour workout and Zumba: 1 banana
Dinner:Chicken, sweet potato and asparagus
Drank around 100 oz of water...
Workouts today:
Run: 3 miles in 28 minutes (It was HOT!)
Swim: .25+ miles (great way to cool it off!)
Power hour: Let me explain this crazy hour workout!
after warming up by jumping rope
3 circuits doing a 10-1 count...4 exercises each
Circuit 1: push ups 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4,3, 2, 1, wood chops 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, shoulder press 10, 9, 8,7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, jump squats 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
The other 2 circuits followed this pattern.
Circuit 2: diamond hand push ups, t-arm extensions (You are in almost a side plank using your legs side to side for support, taking the weight from the opposite side under you to straight up above your side---reps performed on each side!), back flyes, high knee jumps.
Circuit 3: knee up push ups, kickbacks, bent over rows, jumping lunges.
following this was an ab workout and cool down..
Then I turned around and did a 50 min. Zumba class!
I am now tired!!!!
My discovery today: I am stronger than I thought and I can push my body way further than I ever thought! I have stayed away from this power hour class. I know this instructor from kickboxing. I knew she was tough and pushes hard..I had thought I couldn't do it...let alone follow it with a Zumba class! When she invited me check out this class, I decided to and I loved it!
I also discovered that I can listen to my husband vent about his drama without letting it become my drama! It doesn't have to effect me!!
This challenge is off with a bang and I am excited!





I LOVE the Power Hour!! That's another one to add to my repertoire. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm still having a tough time listening to Shannon's drama and not letting it affect me, but I'm getting better. After 13 years together I'm starting to realize that the drama is often just that... drama!
Just curious, are you following Carolyn's meal plan, or your own?
