day5:30 day challenge

Well I made it to day 5 of my 30 day challenge! So far so good, today is the first day I'm not dying sore! Thank goooddness!! Still feel all these muscles I've never really worked before, so its a nice change from just running! (although I miss it so much and wish my stupid foot would let me run!)

I will have to do a whole page review about it when I finish, but the first day I did both 6week6pack and 30 day shred, than for the four days after, I just rotated the two DVDs doing only one a day. Today I did 6w6p! Tmrw I might do both again!  I like them. I think mostly because I just wake up and do them! With running I always had to wait for my daughter to take a nap, so it was on her time not mine! I got out her moon sand and put it in a deep pan and she's been playing with that everytime I work out! Works great!

So yea! Woohoo! I wish I could be doing some running along with it to get really really good results, but I rather rest it than break it!! So I'll suffer for a little while longer. I just know that when I don't run, (for ever a little bit) It seems I lose it...like lose my pace time, and start all over from where I was over a year ago and could only run 2 mins straight, to now running over 2 hours, each day is like a ticking bomb backwards..ughh!


moving on, so today I have been addicted to instagram for some pictures! I love how easy it is to make a picture look awesome! I want a computer program like that, that is fast and not much work, and free!   Here is my finish with some fancy coloring!  This needs to be in a magazine! Seriously how cute are they?

 yeehaw! Love our cowgirl boots, Mine are the middle ones!

30 day challenge day 1

My race day picture...HAHAHA!

click here  for my race recap!

Today I am finally feeling recovered from my race Saturday! I was limping all around the day of and day after, ugghh! But Hey I finished one goal and now starting another challenge! For some reason I always have to give myself something to do, not just do normal workout's with no end or finish or goal.

So my goal is to finish 30 days of workouts challenge!

So I got the 30 day shred, and I'll mix that with 6 week 6pack, and also with some running, and maybe a few days of yoga and a zumba class (more about the yoga below)  

I took measurements and pictures that hopefully if they are awesome results like they say you'll get Ill post them with after shots at the end!

Today was day I, I might have over did it because I was dying to get back into doing something with 5 days off of nothing but bad eating and no workouts!

I did BOTH 6w6p and 30DS! It was a lot different than running, while running I don't get my heart rate up to that point I guess? I don't know just running to me is easier than this, but it wasn't to outta control where I didn't feel like I'd do another day! Also Jillian can get annoying (which I read in reviews) So I just had music on also!

And Its great because I did it while my daughter was up! I always ran while she was sleeping, but I'll be able to get these done anytime I want! Great start so far....let's hope it lasts and I get better at it! (I can't even do a push up so maybe at the end I will be able to! HAHAHA)

Oh yea yoga DVD.... I thought yoga meant like getting to relax and clear you mind... well that DVD SUCKED, it was so hard! I couldn't finish some moves, and after one day I didn't wanna do another day! I didn't want hard work, I wanted it for my days off to do a little something.. So maybe I wanted a stretching DVD? HAHA I love stretching and it doesn't feel like WORK!

I DID IT! FIRST HALF

Well I did it!! I may have not won, but I did cross the same finish line as the winner!!!


They had two heats. first was if you finish before 2 hours, second one if you do after two hours. So first heat was off, than there I was waiting for the second to go! AHH! It was freezing! I had two layers of throw-away zipper coats...Very attractive..NOT!  unsure of what I'm doing but hey!
       and than I was off! I tried pacing myself with this group of people who talked the whole time, so I pretty much was their stalker right behind them listening and smiling at everything they said, but than I knew I could go faster so I passed them. Than I really didn't run with anyone, sorta boring..wish I had my phone to take pictures, or text my friends who were waiting at the finish line, something!  At a few moments I kept telling myself WOW I'm doing it..than wanted to cry! LOL waa waa I'm a baby, but I'm so proud of myself!

O but I did pass people at mile two who were seriously sounded like they were dying! Breathing so hard I couldn't believe it! They had 11 more miles of hard breathing like that?? No thanks!

Than kept passing this one lady who blew snot rockets out without even looking back to make sure no one was behind her!! We kept passing each other like 10 times before I just couldn't take that anymore and stayed in front of her..eww!

Than passed another girl who was bawling the whole time! Crying and crying and everyone would ask if shes ok and she said nothing, just ran and cried...very ODD!

I kept yelling out to people to see what time it was so I would know if I was even on any kind of good pace. I had a goal of running it under 2 hours 30 mins, but I knew I'd prolly be around 2:15 and than ultimate goal of under 2:10...(which would be a speed of 6mph treadmill) I hit mile 7 at 1hr 7mins which was faster than 6mph, but than I knew this is where I'd prolly slow down rather than speed up so I was happy! I got to mile 10, than turned on my music...only a 5k left! Which the whole course was flat...until now,  the worst time to have hills! 

I turned a corner, and There it was the FINISH!!!!  by this time my knee's were hurting, and my left foot, but to my surprise, I really wasn't huffing and puffing, I breathed normal the whole time!

 I took my one jacket off around mile three, and Never needed to take the second one off.  

Years of exercise, 50+ pounds off, and 17 weeks of hard training.... I DID IT!

Finishing time of 2 hours 8 mins 29 seconds!!!!

My friend met me at the finish and I got all choked up! took one deep breath of trying not to cry...than I was all good! The most Amazing feeling knowing if you really put your mind to something you can do it!!!

 My fans waiting for me!

Standing there was great....Now when I tried walking back to our jeep...Yup EVERYTHING hurt! That whole day I was limping, knees felt bruised..but all worth it!!
