4th of July

So we had a GREAT time with family yesterday. We spent the day visiting, laying out by the pool and eating yummy NOT good for you food! It was lots of fun but I paid the price for it! I gained 3 lbs yesterday from the food and drinks. I also skipped a workout completely.

I am not sure why I feel so guilty b/c I can make it up this week but I do. I felt like crap all day today and I did not eat right or workout today either! I have to be somewhere in the morning but I am thinking about do a workout in the morning before I leave.

All in all it was a great weekend and hopefully I can make up for weaknesses. I plan to kick my fitness into high gear once school starts this year. Both of my kids will be in school and I will be able to focus on me a little more. :)

Not Feeling It Workout

I was feeling super tired and drained today! I did not want to do anything today including cook or clean. I did not eat breakfast (bad bad) and I chose to eat Japanese Take out for lunch. I decided NOT to eat dinner b/c I over ate at lunch and still felt sick from it. YUCK. I also drank a fountain coke and nothing else, so before my workout I drank 12 ozs of water and I am hoping to fit in a few more glasses before bed!

My workout today was approximately 10 minutes.

 25 sit ups

25 reverse crunches

50 bicycle crunches

25 regular push ups

10 Military Push ups

25 Squats (body weight only)

25 Sumo Squats (Body weight Only)

10 Backward lunges

35 Jumping Jacks

10 knee tuck jumps

I plan to try and fit in a few more later this evening and I will report back if I do!
