Cardio Day

Today was my now dreaded cardio day. When I was in high school I always hated when we had to lift weight for practice but loved to run and now it's the other way around. I have no idea why. Maybe I'm just getting tired of staring at a basement wall the whole time. As soon as I can I'm going to get a jump rope and start doing cardio outside. Our gauge says it's 42F out. A little cold for me right now. Hopefully in the next week or two it'll be great out. There doesn't seem to be too much traffic at 5AM so I can run up and down the road. I don't want to go too far from home just in case the kids wake up and I'm needed. I can't have the money maker late for work because he had to deal with a screaming child while I was out.

Today I did my 4 sets of 4-30 second surges, elliptical, jump squats (ouch), jump rope, jumping jacks. I , also did some ab work, 3-30 second surges of ball crunches, and bicycles, and 4-30 second surges of ball obliques. I was done in 30 minutes.

I'm hoping that next week we have our life in order and have time to eat better. We go to the chiro 2 times a week so we end up eating out those nights, I have a couple errands to run on another night (the whole family has to come with) so there are 3 nights we eat out. It's bad!! But, I'm changing my chiro schedule since my husband won't be able to go at all for a few months, so I will be home in the evening and can cook something nutritious. Yum yum.

Until next time, keep up the hard work and you will be at your goal weight/size before you know it. Just take it one day at a time.
