Well I've not been here as I've not really had a lot to say!
Yesterday I had a rest so today I had no choice but to punish myself.
On Monday, I discovered I'd been doing some of the exercises wrong, and I learnt this by doing them right accidentally. So I did lots of extras to make up for it. Because of that, I'm not convinced I'm doing any of it right. I think I might have hit the proverbial wall. Not being sure I'm doing it right makes me wonder what the point is.
Good news is, I'm not giving up. Today, I did some cycling on my static bike too and yes, I managed to fall off of it. I'm sooooo clumsy, I honestly don't know how it is that I manage to get around at all. Not be deterred, I've also ordered Jillian's Ultimate Fitness 2010 for the wii since I tend to have better luck and better results on the wii games.
Diet wise; I'll put it this way, now I know why rabbits look so depressed all the time. Salads are so boring. I think I'm taking in about 900-1000 calories a day but I have no idea if that's the right amount.
On a plus note, now that I'm doing a lot of the exercises right, or at least I think I am, my obliques are sore but also hard! My mate poked me in the side tonight and agreed, its less wobbly than before. I can only assume that is a good thing. I will jump on the scales again on Friday and do some more pictures to see.
Hopefully my wii game will also be here by then so I can really work hard.
I also learnt a few new things. In the dvd, at one point, one of the girls working out/demonstrating the exercises with Jillian nearly hits her with a weight, she claims she's trying to kill her. I didn't notice this before, partially due to my screaming abuse at the tv and partially due to the pounding of blood in my ears. I noticed this on Monday and laughed. Lemme tell you, laughing while doing ab exercises actually does hurt. I think that's a bit much for that particular muscle group to handle.
My brother came in today when I was 'cooling down' and mentioned that he hadn't been to the gym and said he'd do this dvd instead while implying that if I could do it, it can't be that hard. Then he actually looked at the screen and saw who it was. "That's her from Biggest Loser." he said, looking at me incredulously. "She's crazy!" He then left the room, suddenly not so eager to do my 'little dvd'. I felt pretty good about that, my brother; ex army with 2 tours of Iraq under his belt and a Ireland fire fighter during the strikes, won't take on a Jillian Michaels dvd! I did have to laugh and I suddenly felt great about having the balls to do it. See, she doesn't scare me...... much. lol.
