Day 5, Level One

Again, didn't do this until late at night.  I don't want anyone else to see me doing it because I feel super vulnerable in my workout clothes and find myself in compromising positions for a lot of it.  I don't know if exercising so close before bed is good or bad, or if it doesn't matter, but I'm wondering if I'm having trouble because I do it at the end of the day.  I suppose it doesn't really matter, because I'm still pushing myself, and I'm still seeing results.

I ended up (mercifully) getting a few breaks for a couple minutes each during the workout, because the buffering on my PS3 kept freezing, forcing me to get up, wait, turn the machine off, turn it back on, wait some more, then find the video again. I also didn't quite meet my calories burned goal for the Wii Fit portion of my workout, but I did do about 75% of it.

Those damn push-ups in circuit one got me again.  I'm not even doing the real ones.. they're they girly half-push-up ones.  I'm proud though; even though I did take a few 5 second breaks, I managed to do two sets of 10 without stopping. That is an improvement for sure.

The jump rope cardio part is also challenging for me. I've modified the move even more to alternate from one foot to the next.. seems to be easier on my ankles.

Friday is my weigh in day.  I'm excited, but nervous.. I may not have lost any (in fact, I may have gained due to muscle) so I am preparing for that.  I have a feeling though, that as prepared as I may be for that possibility, it may really disappoint me.  Carry on, carry on.
