Man today was rough! I already struggle with the Pure Cardio DVD and today was no exception. I understand the logic behind going 20 minutes straight in order to build cardio power but even a 30 second break would be nice every now and again! After Pure Cardio I sat down in front of the powerful floor fan and tried to find my second wind to take on Cardio Abs. A few sips of water, watched their little plug on Shakeology and once my heart rate reached a normal rhythm again it was time to move on to Cardio Abs.
Honestly, I don’t know how people can do both DVDs in one go. Personally, I was exhausted from Pure Cardio and I know for a fact I did not do the best I could do on Cardio Abs just because I was so wiped out. I think next time I do this I will have to do one DVD in the morning and the other after work so I for sure give it my all. On the plus side though, I experienced no paralyzing muscle cramps. My core definitely feels worked over. I can feel it just sitting still and it makes me smile. I’m on the journey to turn AB in to ABS… or at least not FLAB.
I had a funny little revelation today. I leaned forward on my desk while listening to hold music, yuck, when I noticed my arms were starting to shape up; they’re actually starting to gain definition! I knew I had mommy strong arms from always lifting the little monster but when it’s all one size (round) you can’t exactly see it… today I could see the smallest little dips on either side of my biceps. May not seem all that great for some but I’m sure happy about it!
Tomorrow I am going to try a new breakfast. Even though I have easy access to all of the ingredients I’ve been hesitant to try it… protein powder doesn’t have the best tasting reputation on the block. It’s time I quit being a wuss and try it. One can only eat so many omelets and peanut butter toasts before they start craving something new.
The Recipe:
2/3 Cup cooked oatmeal, prepared with water
1 scoop of protein powder
½ Cup of fresh or frozen berries
1 ½ TBSP chopped walnuts
Splash (1/4 Cup) of skim, almond, rice or soy milk.
This should provide me with a kick start to the morning. It has 307 calories and 26 grams of protein.
