Day 17 and 18


“Everybody’s working for the weekend”

I am so glad it is Friday. Last weekend I spent at the  Advance course for Landmark Education. It was all weekend and lots of work. I am glad to have limited plans for this weekend. Tonight I am going to a show at one of my favorite clubs. It will be weird not drinking. I will have to have some serious caffeine to get me through as 5:45am came early today! Tomorrow I need to wake up early to get my workout done and after we are going out on the boat. Oh how I adore the boat! I am going to do a dive as well. I am sort of new at diving, only done it 10 or so times and am terrified of Sharks. I am hoping to actually see one so I can get over it. So freaky!!! The weather here is in its peak, Florida is definitely the best in Spring.

Diet is going well. This week I had a massive craving for chocolate though. Kinda random and out of the blue. I did not succumb and by the next day the craving was not there. I was having some trouble with getting to work on time with all of the things I had to do in the morning. Last night I decided to make lunches and prep breakfast in the morning which takes up a large chunk of the time.  It worked pretty good and I was able to get to work in a decent amount of time. The next thing for me to do is pop out of bed and start jumping. I still lay in bed for about 10 minutes dreading it all. I could really use that 10 minutes. Solution… set my alarm 10 minutes earlier. Best of both worlds.

I am a little sore today. I hate the lunges. Probably even more than the jump roping. I can finally do 100 jumps in a row now. I still have to take a long break in between. I am just winded and my heart rate is high. I do feel like the endurance is getting better. It takes me about 23 minutes to do 850 jumps. Where is everyone else at time wise, I know I am slow? The rest of the exercises I am pretty quick with. I can’t do a push up.  I can barely get half way down without getting all shaky and falling on my face. Any tips? I also feel my abs contract hardcore when I am doing them. They feel like really intense planks right now.

Ill post some fun boating pics this weekend!
TGIF!

  1. Kristi I'm just the same! It takes me a little under half an hour to do all the jumps... Whether it was 250 or 700 or 850. Which means I'm getting better but just at the same pace as the workouts kick up a notch. And still taking too long. Boo.

    Push-up.. Have you tried doing them with knees down? That's what I have been doing. I can finally do a few "proper" ones now but have to do the rest of my sets w knees down still.

  2. The cravings will come and go but over the next few weeks their overall power will greatly decrease. Don't cave!
