3 Days In….Not So Bad

Third day attempting to do some sort of working out and my legs and chest are pretty sore. Going up the stairs is painful. Guess that means I am doing something right…HA! Here is what I did today:

Squats – 60

Push ups – 6

Dips – 10

Lunges – 22 (My inner thighs were screaming.)

Sit-ups – 25

Crunches – 10

Leg Raises – 10

Plank – 15 seconds (Really?! 15 seconds seems like no time at all unless you are in this position. Want to slow time down do some of these!)

Any words of encouragement are always excepted. Praise the Lord I am determined to do this for 30 days. It should be a habit then right? 🙂

Okay This Hurts! :)

Okay so I haven’t quit, yet. Two days in a row I worked out. Here is what I did today:

Squats – 55 (Felt thes a “bit” more today.)

Push ups – 5

Dips – 8

Lunges – 21 (These are the most hated things on earth! I tried not to swear as my knees cried out!)

Sit-ups – 20

Crunches – 8

Leg Raises – 8

Plank – 12 seconds (These are no joke. They look so easy when other people do them.)

I also did find some Yoga videos online today. I did not try them yet but will do one tomorrow for sure. I just like to point out that any time you try to start to better your self a road block always appears. Mine has nee the last 2 days it has been super cold to the point that I have been shivering even inside the house. I hope and pray I am not getting sick, BUT I will keep with my plan even if I do. More to come tomorrow. 🙂

Make sure you are sitting down…

…because i am going to tell you something crazy!

I……just……worked…..out. Stop laughing now. I am for real. My good friend (John Parker) reminded me that to pass time and not feel so gloomy on the time till my husband’s return I should exercise to have a better body for when he gets home. Not a bad idea right??? But I feel like I am about to die. LOL. As most of you know I am a planner. I have to have a written down plan of attack with little check marks and all if I am to accomplish anything. (Love the OCD in this already don’t you.)

Well, I have spent the last couple of days organizing it all out. With the help of Pinterest of course and all those 30 day challenges.  I figure why not do them all. I mean they all work different parts right? Lunges, abs, arms, squats, and walking. I can do this I thought and I am after all now determined. Okay now really stop laughing cause I need all of you to hold me accountable. In the sense that if I do not write on this blog what I have done that day. Blow me up! Call, text, Facebook, email, or comment on here any where. And remind me that I want to impress my man when he gets back. I thank you in advance. So, to kick this off this is what I just did right before I got on here to type this out. It does not seem like a lot but I have not work out since before I had children.

Squats – 50 (OUCH)

Push ups – 5 (Haven’t done these since my military days.)

Dips – 5

Lunges – 20 (Really what kind of mean individual even invented these?!)

Sit-ups – 5 (Again not since I last did push-ups.)

Crunches – 5

Leg Raises – 5

Plank – 10 seconds

I am going to try to find some You Tube beginning Yoga videos also.

Wish me luck and have a great weekend!
