Soreness & Foodness

So I thought I was going to be unable to work out but after I saw this DVD I’ve been wanting to try at Walmart, I decided to just go ahead and do it anyway, even if it was already 10PM. I’ve never worked out that late before, but it wasn’t bad at all, but the workout definitely kicked my butt!

I got the Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred Workout and seriously, that lady is hardcore. I was literally feeling really sore by the end of the workout. But I guess if a workout does that much to you, you must be doing something right. The workout is about 20 minutes long and there are 3 Levels, 1 being the beginners workout, and 3 being the more advanced. The workout is based on an interval system 3-2-1, which starts with one 2 minute warm up, 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abs repeating this interval system 3 times ending with a 2 minute cool down. Sounds easy enough right? Nope! Literally, you are working hard and there is no stopping. You’ll also need hand weights and an exercising mat if you don’t have carpeted floors.

I think I overdid myself though because all I had were 5 lbs weights, and I was having a lot of trouble at the end, not to mention the push ups. I was able to do 2 regular push ups but then had to revert to knee push ups, which also was a challenge with my one bad knee. So I gotta get strength to do the regular push ups! I totally recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to try a new workout out. I’m really glad that I got this one!

Today I actually made my own lunch like, cooking style! Usually I pop something in the microwave, oven or boil water and mix stuff together, but this time I cut veggies, boiled and made to taste. I made a Salad Nicoise Sandwich which is basically veggies and tuna in a pita. I regret that I didn’t take a picture, but this is what it pretty much looked like.

I was surprised that my mom and sister ate it and liked it!  There wasn’t much left when I got home. Usually no one eats what I make, I guess they’re afraid that it will taste bad. LOL.

Also, I wanted to show y’all a picture of me and some gear provided by FitCouture.com (thanks so much again!).  They sell a bunch of fitness clothing and it’s pretty comfy!  The clothes are very fitted but you can still move around in them.  Love the yoga pants especially, even though they look like pants on short lil me.  HAHA.

I’m wearing the Vegas II top and the Barcelona Workout Capris, but to me they’re more like crop pants!
