Today I finished Day 10 of Jillian Michael's "30 Day Shred" DVD!! That means, I'm done with Level One! The squat/punches were much easier today, as well as the crunches; which are usually the things that give me trouble. I had a little trouble with the static lunge/bicep curls today because I started to get off balance. I also attempted a full push-up today, but I had to go back to the modified version after three push-ups. Oh well. I'll try again in a few days.
Overall, I feel a lot stronger. I stopped feeling like I had to guzzle water in the middle of jump rope, and I'm no longer anticipating the ends of each exercise (a la "is this the last one? what about now?!" ...ha). I really want to weigh and measure myself, but I'm going to hold off since it's only been a few days since the last time, and I know that it won't show up on the scale just yet.
Today my energy and optimism were up a little bit more. Maybe because I knew it was the last day of level one. I'm really anxious to figure out what exercises are in level 2.
I'm off to eat breakfast now. Oh by the way, here's my recommendation for a breakfast/snack bar. Fiber One bars!! SO YUMMY! I love the Oats and Chocolate the best, but I just got the Oats and Strawberry and those are great too. I haven't tried the Chocolate Mocha, or the Apple yet. I have trouble getting my fiber in, and if I'm starving between meals, these are better than grabbing a candy bar.
See you tomorrow for the start of Level 2 on My Weightloss Struggle!
