First, let me say that I can't tell you all how much "as much as you want" means to me. Now, twice a day, I can just pile the veggies on and not have to measure something. I can make soup again! I haven't really known how to weigh soup given that it's partly water so I've been avoiding it. Seriously. This is a big deal for me. I can make PCP pilaf with rice and couscous and not have to do the veggies separate from the carbs. Exciting times, people.
Also, as you know, I hate lunges, but today, after not doing them for a while, I realized how much easier they are. All those leg lifts and bicycles (that pain the front of all our legs?) have given me this hip flexor/psoas strength I didn't previously have. It was a totally new lunge experience for me!
And finally, how great is it to just set a timer to jump? I only made in through one of my two-minute sets (the 6th) trip-free, but it was great fun to no longer count. I was mixing it up at the end... 10 jumps on one leg, 10 jumps on the other. I will definitely add music to my workouts now that I don't have to focus on counting.
Love the changes this week. And, wow, those planks. Fifty second is a long fucking time.
JFD
Right there with you on the AMAYW! It's back in my diet too!! Although, I'm not looking forward to the planks now...I should have worked out before I read your blog! AHHHHHH!!!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me very happy! Happy that we're at week 7, happy that you're happy and feeling better, and happy about timed jumps!!! Win win win all around. Except for the longer plank times - they suck.
ReplyDeleteYeah, timed jumps is your reward for all those weeks of determination! Good stuff. Planks are only as scary as you build them up to be.
ReplyDeleteAMAYW makes preparing the meals soooo much easier. I loved when that came in to play.
ReplyDeleteAlso the timed jumps was the best thing ever. It's not a pain in the ass once that starts. I find it helps when I put the timer where I can't see it and the time flies by a lot quicker.
Good attitude after being sick! Keep it up.
I think i ate too many veggies today after reading this week's plan. they were good though. Now if we could only have a proper dinner!
