25 Days to go!! I am pressing on.....



New totals for my challenge - Day 26
Miles - 162/200
Push ups - 1,353/2,000
Weight loss - 1/5 lbs.....BUT inches lost and BF% down....must focus on this.

Fitness for today......

Morning ST Circuit - Time - 21:17 mins - Aiming for under 20 mins next time....

1. Push ups - 200 reps - ALL military alternating - standard, medicine ball, close grip and staggared hands.

2. Sumo squat to overhead press with one 20 lb DB - 100 reps

3. MB Diagonal chop with squat using a 10 lb MB - 100 reps

4. MB Horizontal chop with squat using a 10 lb MB - 100 reps

5. Pull ups - unassisted. No chair, nothing. 4.5 reps....really I should count it as 5 reps but the last one was really not all the way so I am counting it as 4.5 - I did 2 the first set and then 2.5 the second set. I really need to dedicate myself to doing this more. SO VERY hard. Next time I will use a chair or something to help me up so I can do more reps and get stronger.

I was shaking after this workout. I LOVED how fast and effective it was. I was sweating like crazy and my HR was very high, even more so then when I run!! So I love the cardio that was involved in this short but awesome circuit. It is definitely the Mommy of a 2 year old circuit :) Fast and it does the job!!!! When you stay at home with a toddler you do not have all day to workout......you have more important things to do :) So I love getting it done early and feeling the burn all day from my hard work!

WOW! This is so inspiring. I am the mom of a 2 year old and am still very overweight. I wish you were my work out partner. I remember being more fit and loving the way my body felt. Kudos to you for all of the HARD work.
