Back In the Saddle Again

I have to start out by stating that I feel like I have gained a little puffiness around my middle lately.  I have been out of my routine since June 12th.  My sister came to visit and we had Marshall's graduation from High School, my mom's knee surgery and a flood....I have kept up with my exercise and my food has been good (but not routine healthy).  I haven't done T-Tapp consistently since June and I feel like my lymph system is sluggish, hence the puffiness?  So, today I got back in the T-Tapp saddle again and I will do a 14 day boot camp of the total workout and brush my skin.  It will be a great test to see if it reduces the "fluff'.  I used my body bugg to track the calories burned for a T-Tapp total workout and it was 160 cals. in 40 min.

Walking Insanity

Today I started out with a walk.  I went out, did a spin around the hood one time (2 miles) and came home.  I did not push too hard on my walk, I wore my body bugg and I wanted to see how much I would burn if I just did a nice moderate pace for 2 miles. I burned about 150 calories.  I figured I would be trying out day 2 of Insanity later in the day, so I just went easy on the walk.  I pop in day 2 of Insanity, "Cardio Power and Resistance" and did what I feared,...hurt my knee....ice and a knee brace for the rest of the night...oh and I only burned about 250 calories for all that torture and sweat.

INSANITY!!!

Whose IDEA was it to purchase this horrible workout??!!...  The very first day they have you doing a tough plyometric cardio circut workout...  I almost died after the warm up!!!  "Shaun T.", the creator of this crazy workout, gives you a series of plyometric moves, (lots of jumping), and you start out doing them fast....and then he gets faster, and just when you think (or hope) it will end,... he goes faster... remember when I said I just watched my Mom go through a total knee replacement and how I was going to protect my knees from harm?...yeah, we will see about that...Shaun T.

July 5th Walk-Jog

OK! now this is something I can handle...a little walk/jog around the hood...twice!  I used my interval timing device and did a 1 minute walk and a 1 minute jog for 4 miles.  Tomorrow, I will try the first day of the Insanity workout....

July 4th Fit Test

For Father's Day my husband mentioned he would like to do the "Insanity" workout, so we purchased it on-line.  There is a fit test they want you to take before starting the program, so while the house was empty of on-lookers I popped it in the dvd and gave it a try....I have only one word to say,......sad.

Saturday, July 3rd

Walk.  It has been my go to solution when I am busy during the day and going back and forth between my parents home and my home.  I did purchase a new little device to help me keep track, it is called a Body Bugg.  It will track how many calories I burn during the day.

Friday July 2nd

Well, I am way behind again in posting, but I have a good reason!  I have been very busy helping out at my parents house and I have been coming home very tired.  I am fitting in my exercise time and this day was a walk.  Walking can be done anywhere and it is free.
