Monday
Ab Jam and Cardio Kickbox today. I'm not really finding Ab Jam all that challenging anymore. I should start focusing on the floor segment. I'm scared of it. It's uncomfortable.
No comment on food. I continue to defiantly eat off plan.
Tuesday
Turbo Sculpt today. I hate it. I don't want to do it next week. I might so something different. My knees hurt during the squats when I Turbo Sculpt. They never hurt when I did real squats. Maybe because the pace of Turbo is so quick, I don't have time to concentrate on form. I won't miss this particular video at all.
Wednesday
Turbo Jam Cardio Party Mix 1 today. I'm still uncoordinated with these moves, but it's fun. Much better than Turbo Sculpt. I definitely think Turbo Jam is going to be part of my cardio routine when I resume my next phase in a few weeks. I'll be lifting three times a week, then Turbo three times a week. I'll post specifics when I get around to finalizing my plans.
Thursday
I almost did cardio instead of Power Sculpt today. I really dislike the video strength training. I keep telling myself I only have one more week of this.
Good news - I did not eat any ice cream or candy today. Bad news - I had a lot of pizza.
Best news - I finally managed to get a Wii Fit. It will be here Tuesday!
Friday
Turbo Jam Ab Jam and Fat Blaster today. I have a hard time with the second Turbo in the series. The moves are just weird. I should practice.
Saturday
I almost packed it in for the next week. I had decided not to exercise at all until I return from New York. But alas, I didn't. Even though I woke up extremely late today, I still did the Biggest Loser Strength & Sculpt and Boot Camp. Boot Camp was definitely half-hearted though, and it was obvious to everyone because when Bob & company were doing jumping jacks, I was just sort of running and place and my son asked me why I wasn't putting my arms up in the area. Observant little guy.
Sunday
I've been spending a lot of time over on the JP Fitness Forums lately, and I am practically jumping out of my skin with excitement for the next phase to begin. I haven't posted specifics in my blog yet, but I'm going to soon. I'll be going back to daily blogging once I start, and I'm going to pay more attention to measurements. This means I'll have to start getting on the scale again. But I'm also going to be more diligent about the tape measure, and pictures. I also plan to record workouts a bit to have my form critiqued.
I just need to conquer this food thing...

Video Workout Challenge - Week 2
Monday
I've pretty much decided not to focus on my diet until I get home from New York and can really make an effort. I have a hard enough time staying on plan when I don't have company and stress. I just wish the diet portion of all this came to me as easily as the exercise does.
I did TJ Ab Jam, standing segment only, and Cardio Kickbox today. My abs were screaming yesterday after Saturday's session.
Tuesday
I did Turbo Sculpt today. I don't know what to do about weights for it. 3 pounds for lateral raises are plenty, but for chest presses and flys, forget it! I didn't even get my 5 pounders out today, so it didn't occur to me to switch when the chest work started. I'll try to remember for next week.
And I hate squats and lunges. Seriously. I have no muscle endurance at all.
Food hasn't been horrible, but it's not great, either.
Wednesday
Turbo Jam Cardio Party today. It was fun, but frustrating because I'm not picking up the moves quickly. I definitely like these TJ cardio videos. I'm not enjoying Turbo Sculpt at all.
I don't know if it's because I'm weaning myself off coffee or what but I have been exhausted since the weekend. Just completely wiped out, like I could sleep all day and night. It's frustrating. I want to play with the Wii, but have no energy at all.
Thursday
Biggest Loser Power Sculpt Level One today, with 5 pounders. I really, really need to work on muscle endurance. I have great strength, but can't go for very long at all.
Here's something I don't understand. No matter how much I don't want to, I always a) work out and b) drink my water. Why the hell can't I treat diet the same way????
Friday
TJ Ab Jam and Fat Blaster today. I'm pretty confident with the Ab Jam and it doesn't make me sweat as much as it used to. Fat Blaster was sweaty, and I stuck mostly to the low intensity modifications, because the kids were still sleeping. Plus, I'm a total buffoon with the footwork.
Saturday
Biggest Loser Strength & Sculpt and Boot Camp today. I love watching and listening to Bob Harper, but I really hate these workouts. Of course, I'll still do them for the next two weeks, but I am totally ready to move on. I have mega-huge plans for my next phase!
Sunday
Eating bad!!

Video Workout Challenge - Week 1
Monday
Off to a great start. Well, I weighed in, and that was a bit depressing. 155.5 pounds, up about 12 from my low. Could be worse, I guess.
I kicked things off with Turbo Jam Ab Jam and I did both segments! The floor stuff is difficult for me, but I couldn't put off floor work any longer. Practice, baby, practice! Then I did the Jillian Michaels Cardio Kickbox. It was hard! Much faster than I expected, and I could barely keep up. But, it was my first time doing it, and I think I'll be better next week.
Food was on track, but oh so difficult to stick to. I did have half a slice of meatloaf that I didn't add to my tracker because I didn't measure the ingredients. I served my son some ice cream and didn't even take a lick.
Tuesday
The Turbo Sculpt video KICKED MY BUTT!!! I started with 5 pound weights and had to back off to 3 pounds! For some things, 3 pounds wasn't enough, but I didn't have time to grab the 5 or 10 pound dumbbells. I'll have to work on being able two switch. I have no muscle endurance, but good strength. I used to think strength was all that matters, but like with lots of things related to exercise, my view is changing.
Food was good today.
Wednesday
I did my first TJ Cardio Party today. It was awkward, learning new moves and new sequences, so I kept it low impact. I hope it goes better next time I do to. On plan with food today, too. I wanted to throw in the towel, but didn't. I made a lemon ricotta cheesecake, then realized the Jell-O I used was not sugar free, so I had to toss the whole thing.
Thursday
Today's workout was Biggest Loser Power Sculpt, Level 1. I meant to do Level 2 after but changed my mind before I started the session. I'm glad I did. Even using 5 pounders, my body was ready to quit after the first 20 minutes. Food sucked.
Friday
I wanted to skip my cardio today, but didn't. I did Ab Jam and TJ Fat Blaster. It was interesting. My house feels like it's going to fall apart when I do all that jumping.
Food sucked.
Saturday
I did the Biggest Loser Strength & Sculpt and Boot Camp. NOT FUN!!!!!! I couldn't do the high intensity stuff because crap just falls off my shelves in the house. I desperately want a basement (not an option here) or a garage.
Food...SS, DD!!!
Sunday
I am so disgusted with myself. That is all.
