Wow what a weekend!! I am BEAT! Friday I got up at 5:45 did my exercises and then off to work. I had a productive day and headed out after to find a new pair of shoes. Came home and grabbed some dinner. I was already late to meet my friend so I rushed through a shower and primping to hit the town. That evening we danced our hearts out… I was exhausted. Admittedly I did have a drink. A diet sprite and vodka. It was terrible tasting. I did get quite a buzz off from it however which was the point and I was able to hang the rest of the evening AND hit up and after party. I know I danced off the calories form the drink so I didn’t feel too bad about it. Regardless I ended up going to bed at 4am. Now that was a long day!
Sat I got up bright and early to go diving. I felt guilty about not getting my full 8 hours of sleep but I was too excited for the adventure ahead to worry too much about it. The dive was amazing. Some of the folks I was with were spearing fish. I ended up getting a free dinner out of it. Fresh fish! Within two hours of spearing I was grilling them up! Unfortunately by the time I got to my workout it was 9:00pm. I was so tired form the boat and sun and dive and dancing the night before, plus a lack of sleep. It was nearly impossible to get through the jumps. Every 10-15 I would trip up. It was like my feet didn’t want to come off the ground. But I managed to get through all off it. I felt great about the whole thing and after a quick shower passed right out!
Sunday I woke up with a headache (too much sun), and still tiered even though I slept about 12+ hours. After letting my pup out for his morning pee I decided to wait till it was dusk to do my work out. Jump roping in the heat and sun would have been a nightmare. I ran errands, went to the market and got everything else I needed to get done. I was able to prep lunches for myself and my boyfriend, make dinner, and clean the kitchen. After that I went out for my workout. Again another late night, got into bed around 10:15 just simply pooped.
6:20 my alarm went off. I don’t even remember my Boyfriend leaving this morning I was so tired. 1000 jumps. Taking me 28 minutes. I know I need to step it up but I am winded and tired after only 100. I know my endurance has gotten better though because no matter how many jumps we have I always seem to do them in about 20-28 minutes. I’m just going to keep plugging away.
My skin was bad last week and now is much better. That paired with the fact that I got a bit of sun really helped with my overall “glow”. I also added my week 1 and week 3 pictures. Ugh…. One day that bathing suite will look great, but today is not that day. Starting to notice my energy level is higher, clearer skin. No change in the way clothes fit though. I will be happy when I am not doing the wiggle dance when pulling on a pair of jeans!

Fried up and ready to eat!
Me and my girl out on the town Friday night!!Hope you all had a great weekend!
It is tough getting in to the routine to get it all done and fit everything in. It does take more effort. It's all trial and error to see how it works best for you and your life.
ReplyDeleteKeep trying on the push ups....they will come! About a month ago I could do 15...now...I might be able to manage two. Hurt my back and have been off the training routine for about two months now. It sucks! Miss the energy and clarity I got from my work out. It also was my inspiration to stay on track with my eating.
Your doing a great job and look great!
Ha ha, nice blog and great photos...
ReplyDeleteWe could do with some more sunshine here in HK...
Rock On Kristi....
Hey Kristi, I can't believe you lasted til 4am with only 1 drink ! That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteNice pics - the fish must've tasted just as it looks - yum!
You're looking great @ week 3, think about how you'll be feeling and looking @ week 12!
Keep it up xx
