Before I even get into today let me just tell you a little bit about yesterdays workout. Yesterdays workout was the yoga. I was really looking forward to it and very anxious to try it. The first maybe 10 minutes of the workout were going great and then it started to get pretty complicated. It was hard for me to watch how to do the yoga pose and then continue with keeping the form and the flow of the workout. Then the workout started to go faster (awesome) and it was even harder to do the pose correctly and keep up. I got frustrated and quit - I HATED THE YOGA! Because the workout went so poorly and because I had a lot of school work to do I ended up not making the whole wheat stromboli. I am going to make it another day but if anyone would like the recipe I can post it sooner. I was planning on just posting it once I made it along with pictures. Instead of the stromboli I had fresh steamed broccoli and chicken that I cooked on the George Forman grill.
Because I didn’t finish the yoga I still wanted to get a good workout in for the day so I ran a mile and a half and worked on my pull-ups. I also did the abs workout that is incorporated at the end of the shoulders and arms video. I really like the abs workout. I am also really coming along with the pull-ups; I can now do three underhand pull-ups without the chair. And I'm extremely proud of myself - I just want to tell everyone!
As for today, I am feeling pretty defeated. The legs and back workout wasn’t too bad but there were a lot of moves that I felt like I wasn’t doing correctly. And there were a lot of moves that I just didn’t care for - like the triple lung I think it was called and the skater move. I was feeling defeated and annoyed with some of the moves and I quit the video with 15 minutes left. I just want to ask those of you out there who have done the workout - do you get better with time? Does it get easier with time? I know Tony Horton the instructor says that you will but with some of the moves I feel like I’m never going to get it and especially with the yoga. And I’m feeling pretty worried seeing how it is only day 5 and I’m having such doubts about the workout.
Another question that I had was when do those of you who did the workout start seeing results? I know this takes time and I was just wondering how much time? I’m feeling disgusted with my body and I am so bloated from drinking all this water - are any other beginners feeling this way with all the water consumption?
Oh and just a side note - I am so out of shape it‘s disgusting. I used to be such a great athlete and worked out all the time and all that went to hell once I went to college. Now I’m about to graduate college and not only has my brain transformed but so had my body. But my body has transformed negatively. I think this could have a lot to do with me feeling defeated. And I guess it doesn’t help that I’ve been smoking cigarettes like there cheap.
Today I guess was just a bad day - I’m not giving up yet, again it is only day 5. Well that’s all I have for now. Stay tuned!
I'm sure it will get easier as it goes. I know they always say that even if you're not doing the moves perfectly, the important thing is that you're moving and trying. It sounds just like you need to get into the routine of the whole water/diet thing too. But you can do it! :)
ReplyDeleteKeep with it girlfriend! Of course it's hard! Their promise is to transform your body in 90 days, so in order to do that you have to work your butt off...literally! You'll definetly get better with time. Stick with the workouts, keep pushing play, do as much as you can. I would suggest finishing the workouts even if you don't feel like you're doing it the exact way as you'll get better with practice. It's an awesome program, but extremely intense, so it's normal to feel that it's hard, even impossible at times. YOU CAN DO THIS:-)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it. I understand where you are coming from, I have also gained wait after starting college and then I gained more after I started dating Brandon. If this diet and exercise program works for you then I will try it too. And post that stromboli recipe!
