Dec 18 - 23

Monday - 30 minute walk on treadmill - walked slow, about a 3 mile pace the whole time, went 1.57 miles I think... I'm on day 3 of a water fast so energy was a little low, but I did do a little jog on Run for Cover, cause you can't just walk while listening to that fast song. Ate a salad tonight. I was going to try and go longer, but the family didn't eat up enough of the salad I made. It was delicious -
Tuesday - resistance today, followed and modified an old Kristi Approved workout - week 1 day 1. Per that workout's instructions, I did 15 reps of each exercise, 3 rounds. 15 was harder on most of the upper body things. I also lifted the weight I had written in that old notebook that I did last time, it was hard! I guess I used to be stronger. I should be sore tomorrow...

Friday - family went skiing, I loaded the car. so a few flights up and down stairs was all the workout I got today. Ate some sausage, bacon, and eggs at a timeshare presentation this morning. I'm not proud. I think my diet is about to tank for a few days until we're clear of the holiday...

Dec 4 - 9

Monday - shoveled the driveway twice!! By myself at 6 am, then Abi came out to help me a little bit at 8 (she's such a good daughter). Then I came in and did five 1 minute sprints with walks to catch my breath on the treadmill in the basement. Water fasted all day. I watched this video and got majorly inspired. I'm not going to enter a sports modeling competition, but this gave me the hope that I can get my abs! And I'm really not that far, especially considering Elle's transformation. Her website here. I can pretend like I'm doing her 9 month transformation too, but I'm like on month 7 with just 2 to go! I can get there! Anyway, super impressed with her results.
Tuesday - no exercise, back is a little sore from shoveling yesterday, but I think that's a good thing. I water-fasted all day, GBOMBS for dinner - stands for Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries, Seeds - eat them every day to keep cancer away! Joel Fuhrman's good advice :)
Wednesday - some handstands and stretching, ate GBOMBS again, I love being vegan this week, nothing unhealthy is tempting to me right now yay
Thursday - I followed this Elle full body workout today as a guideline and added a few low intensity things for myself "Consistency is the key, not intensity!" YES!! I can do that! So I did 3 sets of 10 reps with a brief break between each exercise.

1. Chest fly on the exercise ball with 2/12 (aka using two 12 lbs dumbbells)
2. Lying Tricep 2/12 
3. Bicep burls 2/12
4. Seated Upward Press 2/12
5. One arm kick backs 1/10 (one 10 lb dumbbell)
6. Romanian Dead lifts 2/30
7. Static Lunge Left foot forward with 2/20
8. Static Lunge Right 2/20
9. One arm Rows 1/20
10. 90 second center plank - did 3 "sets" of that too.

Then, to make up for not moving much yesterday, I did some treadmill cardio too. I wanted to do a 30 min walk like she recommends, but was in a hurry to finish up and get the kids off to school so I decided to do 2 miles, I walked a little and ran a little, ended up doing 2.05 miles in 24:30. I listened to the Killers - Sam's Town is still my treadmill music of choice!
