I was really dreading today for a couple of reasons. The first reason was because I had to work out alone. Mom has to be out of town for the day so she worked out early this morning and, as much as I like working out with someone, I LOVE my sleep and I was not about to get up at 6:00am to work out if I didn't have to. John doesn't work out until after work and he works out at work if he can. There is more room there and I think he has his boss talked into working out with him so he doesn't have to work out alone every day. I could have waited until later and asked John to work out with me, but then we have to deal with all of the kids while we are working out and that can be a pain. So, the best option for me today was to work out alone. I thought about working out a little later, but I knew that my best bet was to get it over and done with so I could go on with the rest of my day. I was surprised that I actually enjoyed the workout today. I am not saying I would want to work out alone every day. I really like working out with someone. It just makes things go faster. But, the kids were GREAT today and I was able to just get into a rhythm and get an awesome workout and now I feel energized.
The second reason I was dreading working out today was because today's workout was Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. It is hard to muster up the energy to do two workouts when you know that one is tough enough. But, Pure Cardio went really well today so I felt great. I was not really looking forward to Cardio Abs because I didn't feel like it worked my abs all that much the first time we did that workout. But, today was different. I think I just got into better position and concentrated more on my core. I am pretty sure that last time I was just using my quads to hold myself up instead of leaning a bit further back and engaging my core. Today was an ABsolutely brutal ab workout. My abs were burning and, although I couldn't do every exercise for the full amount of time, I know I will be feeling my abs in the next couple of days. I am excited to do this ab workout again!
After today's workout, I am feeling even more confident that if I stick with this program for the full 60 days, I will see results!
Day 18....I am ready when you are!
