I was beginning to get tired of doing the same workout every day, so I decided to give myself a rest day for Day 10 of Level One and hop right into Level 2 the next day.  Planking is my bane in this level, comparable to push ups.  If dedication and consistency play the same role in this level, I can believe that I'll be (somewhat) capable of doing them by the end of the 10 day stretch.

Day 1, Level Two

I think I did alright, considering it was a whole new workout routine.  Some of the moves are modified from Level One, but she adds more components. A lot more leg burn, and I'm feeling it more in the abs too.  I considered it a trial run and didn't push myself right to the limit.. kind of regret that part.  But, live and learn. At least I did it, right?

Day 2, Level Two

Did my Wii fit portion first - probably shouldn't have.  I made it about half way through the workout before I wanted to just quit. Though I stopped doing everything she said about half way through (my knees were absolutely killing me) I did leave the video on, and joined in half-heartedly during moves that didn't hurt.  I'm considering giving myself a day or two rest from this and restarting level two next week.  I won't stop exercising, I"ll just do something different.  We'll see how I feel tonight.

Weigh in day is tomorrow. I haven't pushed myself as hard this week, so I don't think I'll be seeing any grand results.  My mid-week weigh in was 199.1lbs, so I'm thrilled that I'm finally under 200 again. I am also proud of myself for something else I did this week.  Yesterday was a stressful day; shop finances were a mess and I had to scramble to find money to cover a cheque that could have bounced (my rent, no less) since a bunch of fees were withdrawn early.  I wanted so desperately to detour to Tim Horton's on my way to work and consume several Boston Cream doughnuts.  I didn't. When I got home, I was faced with chips, custard (which I freaking LOVE by the way), chicken strips, and a multitude of other awful things.  People were eating it in front of me, but I calmly made my healthy dinner and just ignored it.  I do not need food to feel good emotionally.
