Day 26 (July 17, 2009) of the Challenge!
Today I woke up soooo sore. I slept great but my shoulders and arms are sooo sore in places I didn’t even know could get sore. AWESOME!!!
I woke up today at 5:30 am. I walked to the gym (2 miles 40 min). Again, I wish I could say I banged out work out no.1 but besides being sore, I’m not too crazy about this workout. I am learning to like it though. I see a noticeable improvement in strength. I took a…

Day 23 (July 14, 2009) of the Challenge!
Today I feel so much better! I slept like a log. I am now playing catch up with my rest. I woke up today at 5:00 am. I walked to the gym (2 miles 45 min). Banged out work out no.1. I then took a quick shower because today I really needed it this morning. It’s one hot and humid day and I did great on my workout so I was sweating like a porker (no ladies not glistening - SWEATING). I then walked to work…

Day 18 (July 9, 2009) of the Challenge!
Today I am exhausted. Didn’t sleep so well. I guess I really am getting nervous. The director told me they were almost sold out of tickets. That means over 700 people. Holy cow!! We are also going to tape a video, get a photo shoot in on the same day of the show!! I’ve got to try to quiet this mind of mine at night so I can sleep better.
I woke up around 5:30 am and did my first workout. I love love th…

Day 16 (July 7, 2009) of the Challenge!
Today I feel good but exhausted. I woke up around 6:30 am and did my first workout. I did good time-wise but fell a little short for the goal I set myself for this morning.
After my workout, I did a little bit of stretching. I was running out of time so no Yoga or visualization.
I walked to work today (2 miles in 40 minutes using intervals). Shaved 5 minutes of my normal time so I am ecstatic.
I had…

Day 15 (July 6, 2009) of the Challenge!
Today I feel wonderful. I woke up around 5:30 am and did my workout. It was great. I can’t say it enough. I don’t understand how a workout can be short, intense and simple but yet hard as hell and leave you feeling and breathing as if you just finished an hour. I tell you, I am not a bodybuilder but no matter what anyone says, if you don’t give your workout, any workout, your 110% with proper form of co…

Today is a great day. I woke up around 8:30 am and did my workout. It was great. I am feeling a little out of whack. Not bad or anything just I don’t know weird out of energy. Dax - I know, I know that’s what I get for going to bed at 1:00 am.
For breakfast I had egg and veggie scramble, 1 cup of veggie broth and 1 cup of hot water with lemon.
After breakfast, one guess what I did. Yep - rehearsals. O…

Day 11 (July 2, 2009) of the Challenge!
Today was a really, really, great day. Stay tuned and read further down as to why (wink wink). I woke up feeling great again. I woke up around 5:30 am, did a little bit of yoga to get me started and energized. I had a nice walk to work even though I was rained on (surprise, surprise). I had my breakfast at 7:30 at work. 1 grilled chicken breast and veggie broth soup. So far it seems to work for me especially with this heat and humidity! Go figure!
