Meh…
enoughfluff replied to your post: Inspiration from… YA’LL!
NICE. TUMBLR BEFORE YOUR BESTEST? hahaha
Shut it! I SAID I needed the inspiration from others… which helped for our 1000 Step Beach CLIMB!!! :P
And… I know it’s only Day 4 and results take time… but I feel doughier than before… I know the muscles are there on my tum-tum… I just don’t feel improved until I can actually see them. STUPID stomach fat… GAH!!!
But I will take a deep breath and just up the cardio. Cardio EVERYDAY along with the Flat Abs Plan! Need to chill… need to stay positive… need to probably NOT go to the lake this Labor Day Weekend… boo…

Day 4
Ahahahaha… let me first start off by sayin… that I have YET to go to bed and it is 5:30 in the morning… and my normal work alarm is going of right now. Ah, I should probably go to bed AFTER this! :P
So, cardio yesterday was actually quite a bit.
The first was my (test) of my water run training-y thing. I didn’t get to go for a run as SOMEONE was complaining about just walking on the beach… much less runnin on it! :P (But I still love you, bestie!)
We went down to Laguna Beach so we could climb 1000 Step Beach:
It was pretty killer, but Mad and I are determined to be able to BOOK-IT up ALL those stairs one day.
That climb was in the mornig, but later that night, Mad and I went to the Y for a run. I ran my hardest 5K… but I STILL hate running on the treadmil… so I think I might stick to my interval runnin’ whilst there.
All in all, I had a pretty kick butt cardio day! ^-^
Ok… bed now. I’ll post Day 5 later… as well as Day 6 AFTER I complete it! :P

Day 18
Um… I think today went aiight. I didn’t get to squeeze in that Workout B circuit training abs-ness I wanted to do… but I did do cardio (as scheduled)… and it felt pretty kick ass!
Though… after hanging out with some old friends, who like to drink and make drinks, I feel doughy right night… at 11:32 in the pm… FAIL! :(
So, tomorrow WILL include Workout A (as scheduled) AND more cardio. Oh, not to mention the football game I’ll covering with my (2nd) job, and Lord knows how many caloroies that’ll burn… hopefully A LOT!
Come Saturday I’ll be with the family celebrating my Aunt’s b-day (same as my BESTIE’S b-day!!! ^-^… which was actually a few days ago…Ah… the Goat…) so… who knows when I’ll be workin’ out… at least until Monday.
But do ya’ll know what’s a week from Saturday…? MY GLADIATOR MUD RUN!!!!
SO. EXCITED. CAN’T. HARDLY. WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! ^-^

Tuesday: Puked my freaking brains out
- This really probably was a combination of drinking too much on an empty stomach and a gas station burrito
- luckily I did keep myself INCREDIBLY hydrated… but I couldn’t even keep that down
- After 4 hours of that, and 5 spews later… I figured that was enough abs workout for the day
- **ps… my throat freakin KILLS :(
Wednesday: Stationary Bike, Beach Body Bootcamp, Cardio
Am Workout:
- 30 mins uber slow stationary bike
Pm Workout:
- Squat Twist 3x10 (each side)

- Side-Plank Pull 3x10 (each side)
- Flying Sumo 3x10
- Resist-a-Push 3x8
So, two things I’ve learned:
- Squats and the like really are the devil. It didn’t help that I felt the squats more the 2nd day when I was already in so much pain from throwing up. Needless to say, I toned it down just a smidge the 2nd workout. I’m not NEARLY as in shape as I had hoped
- I have NO freaking balance. Ya’ll shoud have heard me tryin’ to do those Hike and Rows… and the Rock Band… don’t even get met started!!!
Today:
- I’ll probably just do the cardio portion of the Beach Body Bootcamp and abs
I hope all is well with everyone. We’re passed hump day, so keep it up ya’ll!
Make a great day!
*ps: all the Beach Body Bootcamp strength training was done with a resistance band. I was SO excited to buy them!

I hope ya’ll are having a great weekend. Keep up the amazing work!

9.19.11 Cardio
A lil 2 mile run. Was super slow because running on rocky terrain. I was terrified of rolling my ankle.
Strength training after class tonight!
-
9.23.11 Cardio
- 10 min walking/warmup, incline 2

It was weird though… this interval seemed really hard for me today. I actually had to stop during one of the sprints… :/
This is my blog to show life without fear. Trust me, I have plenty of fears in love, health, fitness, school, career... life, but I will not let that stop me. Time to face fear and live my life! I will push myself harder and have no fear that someone might be judging me... they're just jealous because I can conquer fear.
