Day 1 Week 4 of the 30 Day Challenge

Well, I made it...Week 4 is here! Even though I feel like crap and this sickness in my sinus cavities is killing me, I got up and did my workout this morning. (Friday night I even bowled 3 games for a second workout on Friday!) I can already say there have been HUGE changes physically and mentally over the last 3 weeks. The Mardi Gras dress I bought at the end of January is too big (it is an 8, which was great to begin with), the skinny jeans I just bought a week and a half ago are now too big (they are a 10, which I was amazed I am back in at America Eagle), and I bought a new pair of shorts last week just because they fir and they were a size 7/8!!! I have not been that size since I was 18! Now, does this mean all size 8's will fit me...of course not. All clothes are made differently. I even went back to American Eagle to see if the skinny jeans I bought would fit in an 8 and they are a bit snug and that is not a big deal at all! The fact that I could pull them over my thighs, button them, zip them, AND there was NO muffin top put a BIG smile on my face! I am very happy with my progress and I hope I can continue to push myself through moments like today when I don't feel like doing anything! So, here are my scores from this morning...

Workout: 12 minutes with 50 second sequences and 10 seconds rest between [Do each sequence 3 times] #1 1 leg push up & jump over [ 8, 8, 8 ]
*I did not have a sand bag, so I just jumped side ways as if I were jumping over something
#2 Side straddle run & burpee with tuck jump [ 9, 9, 10 ]
*Again, I did not have the equipment so I did a side run as if doing tires for a 4 count and then dropped down and did my push up with one leg extended and one knee on the ground. Also, alternate legs that you extend as you go from side to side.
#3 Squat & woodchuck - alternate sides [ 22, 23, 25 ]
*I do not have the equalizer so I used my fitness ball
#4 Plank jump using a chair [ 52, 60, 60 ]
*My fitness ball is not as stable as the Ugi ball so I used a dining room chair

This is one workout that again proves you do not need equipment to do these workouts. All you need is motivation and a positive attitude and you will achieve the goal(s)  you are striving for! I am glad I got up this morning and pushed myself to become a healthier April!! Here's to Day 2 Week 4! Until tomorrow...

April **My word for today is Push**
