OFF

Ok so first things first... I am alive! I made it through the workout last night... yay me! But full disclosure here... I was a little overzealous when committing to that workout ... so I modified it to fit my needs. I would like to think that this was the right thing to do and not a crutch but I can talk myself into pretty much anything so please feel free to tell me how you feel about it. The workout was courtesy of bodyrock.com and it went as follows

1) Burpees

2)High Knees

3)Scissor Lunge

4)Elevated plank knee tucks (alternate left and right leg)

5)Touch floor jumping jacks

6)Overhead lunge and Kick (left Leg)

7)Tuck Jumps

8)Overhead Lunge and Kick (Right Leg)..... because I don't want one super awesome leg and one super not so awesome leg

9)Criss Cross Reach through Abs (alternate Left and right)

10) High Knees

Alright so this workout was supposed to be 50 reps each and 500 High knees, this is how it got its name 1000 rep dream body workout .... with that being said It was a little  a lot out of my ability so I paired it down to a beginner level of 10 reps each and 100 high knees, I followed it up with a 2 mile brisk walk. Opinion time was it lame to pair it down? I feel like I got a good workout but I definitely think that next time I am going to aim for 25 reps and 250 high knees.

Now onto the present day. Today was such an OFF DAY! Have you ever had one of those? What am I saying we all have those, we probably have one of those at least once a week. Well today I had a headache when I woke up so good morning bad start. Then I had something to do after work which always throws me off completely. So instead of coming home making my healthy dinner and working out, Ryan and I went and saw a wedding venue (by the way total success so venue is booked!) by the time we got done with everything it was 7pm and we were starving! So we went to dinner and although I didn't gorge myself or anything I would not necessarily categorize the meal as healthy... veggie quesadilla anyone? By the way I just said quesadilla like they do in Napoleon Dynamite and I am willing to bet you are all doing it to now right this very moment. Anyway I digress, then when I got home Ryan had to get to bed for a nap (3rd shift should be illegal) and I had to get his lunch ready, do laundry, clean the kitchen and of course watch Glee and Orange County housewives. I was obviously WAY to busy to workout... right? WRONG! I went and did one of the bodyrock videos that was only 12 minutes long but super intense and although I would have like to do more today I am very proud of myself that I did some rather then none! So next time it is one of those off days remember even if it is just taking the stairs or doing pushups/high knees/ sit ups during commercials, or walking the dog some is better then none and you will not ever regret being active.

If you haven't worked out yet today do the same 12 minute workout I did (I posted it below!) You can find a free interval timer at http://www.speedbagforum.com/timer.html And no excuses! I don't have the uggi ball either I just did all the exercises without it! 

Hope you had a beautiful day today!
