Working out with Jillian: Post 3

This post is actually for the week before last.  I spent last week on vacation so not much of anything happened then:)

Howdy folks.  I have survived yet another week of working out with Jillian.  Woo Hoo! 

I'm beginning to think that my girl crush might be just the teenisiest be cray cray.  I mean seriously...I think she enjoys this crap (a slightly sadistic side perhaps?).  I used to watch biggest loser and think how amazing it must be to have her as your trainer for all that time.  I spend a half hour with her every day and during that half hour I complain, dream about feeding her a quarter pounder with cheese, and call her names.  Can you imagine if you were spending 7 hours with her in you face yelling at you?!  You couldn't dare to call her a name or complain to her face!  By the looks of her body, she doesn't even know what a quarter pounder with cheese is (Oh how I miss you Mr. McDonald)! She probably would really rip my arms off and beat me over the head with them.  I'm not making that up...she actually told someone she was going to do just that on Biggest Loser!!  Have you seen her arms?  She could totally do it!!! In spite of all my complaining she is STILL perfect and she just may know what she is doing...seeing slight improvements already.

This week's workout schedule is exactly the same as last week's.  I add new workouts next week which is slightly terrifying.

Monday:  MY  DAY OFF (Do you hear the angels singing in the background?)!!!  Such a glorious day.

Tuesday:  8:00 pm Workout 1.  It went well except I still couldn't hold the plank for the entire time.  See why I'm nervous about adding a new workout next week?

Wednesday: Today was a craptastic day!!!  It was just one thing after the other all day long.  I came home and REALLY contemplated skipping the workout and cuddling up Forever Lazy style with my bottle of wine (BTW:  have you tried Skinny Girl wine?  Not bad I tell you!).  I knew that skipping would just make me feel worse though so I drug myself downstairs to do Workout 2.  I'm proud to say that I did the entire workout without any breaks and even upped my weights and resistance.  Rock STAR!!

Thursday:  Up at 5:00 am.  Today's workout was supposed to be Cardio 1.  At 5:00 am I laid in my bed for a good 5 minutes telling myself all the reasons that I should just close my eyes and go back to sleep.  It's not that I didn't want to work out...it's that I didn't want to do Cardio 1 (or more specifically I didn't want to do suicides).  I did manage to convince myself to get out of bed and go to the basement.  Once in the basement, I spent at least another 5 minutes just staring at the blank tv screen.  I literally could not make myself do Cardio 1. The thought of doing suicides at 5:00 am was enough to make me want to cry.  I decided to cut myself some slack.  I skipped Cardio 1 and opted for Yoga Booty Ballet:  Cardio Cabaret.  I told myself that since it's actually longer, it would all even out.  I have to admit the workout was not as good and I may have actually missed Jillian a millimeter of a tad bit.  Lesson of the day:  If I have to work out, it might as well be the best work out possible.  BTW: Suicides still suck!

I came upstairs after my workout and Dan asked how Jillian was.  I confessed that I had cheated on Jillian and he said..."Ooooooh  Jillian is going to be MAD!".  (OMG!  Please don't let her rip my arms off!!!)

Friday:  Up at 5:00 am to do Workout 1.  It went really well...except for the planks....grrr!

Saturday:  I'm on vacation!  Woot woot...taking today off (and probably several more).  Yep...welcome to slackerville peeps!

Sunday:  Started my day of with some Jillian time (workout 2).  Workout 2 in a camper is just plain awesome.  Oh the things people must have pictured happening inside the camper as they walked by.  If the camper is a rockin...yea, it just wasn't that cool.


Make sure you check back over the next couple of days.  I had a nice long vacation and a new niece to talk about:)  Hopefully, I can find 5 minutes to tell you all about it!
