Day 3 and Day 4

Just finished day 4 workout! And by just finished I mean sitting on my bedroom floor covered in sweat because I just finished! I don't want to go out into the living room because Andrea and a couple of her friends are here all looking cute and ready to go out and I am in shorts and a t-shirt sweating. I don't want to scare them! So anywho here is the details on day 3 and day 4.
Day 3- I worked out right after work around 2 and I felt like I am definitely improving with the push ups but I found it even harder to do the jump rope and butt kicks, even the jumping jacks made my legs burn an insane amount and I had to take a quick break! So the strength felt improved but the cardio portion burned more. I think it might be because this is the closest I have done the workout together from the previous night to just the afternoon. I started the workout using the 5 lb weights again but certain moves such as the side lunges with the vertical lift were too difficult and I ended up using my Zumba weights again. I decided that for Day 4 I am going to go buy 3 lb weights which I think would be perfect! I realize I haven't written much about the ab stuff but its not too difficult it starts with regular crunches then moves to side crunches across the body and reverse crunches which is when you lift your legs in the air and it works your pooch. It ends with the infamous bicycle crunch for a grueling minute. This is definitely the hardest part but also bearable. Overall still a very good work out and I can feel certain parts becoming easier.


Day 4- I did this workout in my room which ended up being just enough room. I went to shopko after work and got 3 lb weights and also vitamins which I feel I should be taking and it was buy one get one for a penny... so I got an adult gummy multi vitamin and I'm sure it tastes horrible and also I got a vitamin b 12 sublingual supplement which is supposed to help with your metabolism and nervous system health so we'll see! The workout went well and I again saw an increase in my ability to do push ups! The jumping part is still hard for me I think it might have to do with my knees but I am continuing to push myself! Still sweaty afterwards and I'm nervous for level 2! I know it's only day 4 but I was secretly wishing I would be 10 lbs lighter which I know is not even possible but maybe by day 30!! Who knows I'll keep you updated :)

  1. Just an FYI- when you take your B12- take it when you eat- it needs your digestive juices to break some of them down. Also- your pee will turn a weird color for a bit after you take it- goes away in like an hour or so. Just so you don't freak out! :)
