Working Out With Jillian: Post 5

This week was CRAY to the Z!!!  Sheesh.  It was jammed pack with "stuff" and some (a lot) "crap".  I managed to get most of my workouts in...

Monday:  DAY OF BLESSED FREEDOM....ahhhhhhh!

Tuesday:  I woke up at 5:00 am and did workout 3 "front of the body".  Dan asked me how it went when I came upstairs and I glared at him...enough said.  I had intended to do a run in the evening but then friends invited us to Funland.  Seriously people...who says no to Funland...not I.

Wednesday:  Woke up at 5:00 am to do Workout 4.  Went back to sleep at 5:02 am thinking that I would just make it an evening workout. 

Had really great intentions of doing that evening workout and then had such a craptastic (I'm talking craptastic in an epic way!) day that it just didn't happen.  Instead I talked on the phone for an hour with one of my besties and then cuddled up on my couch and watched the new greatest show on television....Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.   It may not have been the healthiest option but it's exactly what I needed.  Do you think Jillian would understand? Somehow she strikes me as the type who goes to the gym even when she has the flu.

Thursday:  Up at 5:00 to do workout 4.  I forgot to mention some of the craziness that occurs during this workout.  There is a point in the video where you are supposed to stand in "tree pose".  If you are not a yoga guru what that means is that you are balanced on one foot and the other foot is resting against your upper thigh...or in my case...on your knee.  Now not only do you need to balance in this precarious postion but then you are supposed to do lat raises with "heavy weights".  I should also mention that you are already exhausted at this point so your balance is less stable and more like you are standing on a wobbly glob of jello.  I personally think that Jillian made this up so she can secretly laugh at everyone.  I mean seriously.  I look like a bird who is trying to learn to fly and then realizes, "Holy crap, I'm actually a elephant". Wait I don't want to be an elephant.  Does that still work if I realize I'm a lion?  Okay, let's go with a lion!

No evening workout tonight.  We had Colton's open house and then desperatly needed to get some cleaning done.

Friday:  Up at 5:00 am to do Cardio 1.  I DID THE ENTIRE THING!  Woot, woot...yep made it through all of the suicides for the first time ever!!!  Yay me!!!!  Admittedly...it does NOT make me like it more.

No evening workout because I was attending the bridal shower of one of my college roomies:)

Saturday:  I was at Nutcracker auditions for most of the day and then went straight to my Mommom's birthday party.  I would like to tell you that I worked out but unless taking pictures, eating cake, or running my mouth count...it didn't happen.

Sunday:  Yea, Yea, yea...I'm chilling in slackerville.  Today was one of my bestie's bachelorette party (more about this later) so I went to NYC and partied it up instead of working out.  I'm SO sorry Jillian!
Me on Wednesday night
