Thirty Day Shred

So I've decided to hop onto the thirty day shred band wagon, along with some of my fellow blogging buddies. Yesterday was day one.  I wasn't planning on starting it.  I actually went to a cardio kickboxing class at the gym and then went to belly dance practice for an hour. When I got home around 9:30 P.M. I should have done my normal relaxing routing, but I felt I needed to do more.  So I pulled out the shred.

I did level one...but since I can't find my other three pound weight, I did level one with eight pound weights instead.  Wow is all I have to say.  With the eight pound weights I could see exactly which muscles I workout regularly and which need a little more attention.  Even the with the eight pound weights, I didn't feel the slightest burn in my biceps and I completed the back rows with no problem.  The squat with arm raise...yeah by the second set I was alternating two reps of side lunges with no arm movement with two reps with arm movement because my shoulders burned like crazy.  But hey, I figure heavier weight, faster results. :) I'm really trying to push myself through this.

As for measurements--I wish I had a measuring tape, but I don't. So all I have to go on is my weight and the way my clothes fit. I'll update you every week on my weight...The 26th is when I move onto level two. Let's hope I'm still going strong. ;p

In the meantime I hope all have a fantabulous day. ;p

Singing and Cardio

My day was jam packed with things to do today, on top of singing and hanging out with my boyfriend I went for a hike up Batista Creek with my wonderful Mom, Aunt and Sisters. Let's say the hill was a little more grueling than I anticipated.  There were many places where it felt like we were climbing straight up, the grade was that intense.  But in the end, the view made it all worth it.  Here are a few shots I managed to take waiting for my sick sister and injured mother, who should really go to the doctor about her foot won't. I'm making an appointment for her tomorrow. :)

 So now that you've seen what I've done this past weekend, tell me, what did you do?
