Mid Week Update: Happy 4th of July!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a safe and Happy 4th of July! I wanted to give you a midweek update on my progress and let you know how things are going.

Even thou today is a holiday doesn't mean that I didn't get my workout in ;) I did however change it from 6:00am to 9:30am since I had the day off I wanted to be able to sleep in just a little bit. Kelly and I did our normal warm up lap around her block, on the return she mentioned I should go inside on the bike since it was so hot out today. As we are making it back to her house she asks, do you think you could jog? I tell her I don't know, I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. She replays oh I think you're ready! I want you to jog to your car on the count of 3. So on three I went for it. I was actually jogging! Oh and we didn't stop at the car, oh no we kept on going to the end of her block and back! :)  I couldn't believe that at the stage that I am in working out with Kelly that I was jogging! I was soo proud of myself! Then to add to more of the workout high I did kick boxing for the first time. Nothing like getting a little aggression out ;)

Kicking some butt!

Yesterday Kelly and I did legs. Here is a pic of me doing sumo squats with 30 pounds.

I can't remember the name of this exercise but here is a pic of me doing it. I pick the bar up from the ground bring it to my chest the raise it above my head :) I know its only 5 pounds but after jogging and kick boxing I was tired ;)

I told you on Saturday that I was going to be strict, and strict I have been. I've been doing my homework of power walking at night for 30 minutes. I've been using my new watch that EN got me for my birthday to time myself.

Thanks E! :) And you know I LOVE the color ;)

Also I haven't cheated, I've been sticking with my shakes twice a day and one meal. I didn't even cave and have pizza yesterday when SR was eating it in front of me. I set there and enjoy instead my shake :)

SN's delicious and smelled SOOO good pizza and Coke!

What my yummy shake looks like :)

Well thats all for now. I will let you know how the rest of the week pans out and how I did at weight in on Friday! :) So until next time, stay focused and stay motivated!
