My Top 5.

insert insane laughter here

What. A. Joke workout 9! Are you serious?!? Let me tell you, doing planks and all that shit with scraped up palms is KILLER. I barely made it this morning. The move where you’re standing and you sit down and rock back up….? Yeah almost knocked the wind out of me twice! TWICE! And I still have crumby balance so I’m stumbling all around whenever I’m on one leg. Ugh. And then it’s all over and I only burned 278 calories?? WTF.

I’m not discouraged but jeez louise I just need a second. Workout 10 tomorrow. I feel like I’m going to hurl….

xo, K

phase 2 complete!

woo… 8 weeks down… only 4 more to go! What a game changer phase 2 was. On top of the continued workouts, I started running (!) and I am training for my first 5k in July. So far I’ve been able to run 1.5 miles without stopping but it’s not coming easy, let me tell ya! I started a couch to 5k training program through the Chubby Jones podcasts. I did week 1 once and it was waaaayy too easy so I’ve now done the week 2 which is still pretty easy but since I hurt my foot the other day (more on that in a second), I’ve been taking it slower. Basically, it’s a 5 minute brisk walk warm up, run for 90 seconds, walk for 2 minutes, and you repeat 5 or so times then a brisk walk cool down. Basically it’s 30 minutes for about 330 calories lost (about the same as one JMBR workout). I’ll probably start the week 3 C25K this coming week… that is if my foot will cooperate.

So yeah… left foot damn youuu!! I think I may have pulled something in my arch…? Now I’m no doctor and I don’t have insurance so my self-diagnosis is pulled arch and I’ve been icing, elevating, compressing, etc. and sometimes it feels better then all of a sudden it hurts like hell again. Ugh. And it is a horrible affliction to have when my primary mode of transportation is my feet. So I am hoping it goes away soon! On the bright side, there is no swelling at all so I am sure that I didn’t break or sprain anything. On top of the on again/off again hurting of said foot, today while run/walking, I tripped over myself (yeah, the mental image is pretty funny) and busted my ass. Both palms of my hands are skinned up. I got up, dusted myself off, and continued to run with TEARS running down my FACE! Such a baby. But I kept going anyway - blood sweat & tears quite literally. Boo hoo.

So let’s get to the point of what everyone wants to know… my phase 2 results:

Weight: 192.2 (-10.6lbs!)

Upper Chest: 34” (-2”)

Bust: 38.5” (-1.5”)

Midriff: 33.5” (-.25”)

Upper Arm: 14” (-.5”)

Waist: 29.5” (-2”)

Upper Hip: 33.5” (-1.5”)

Lower Hip: 38.75” (-2.25”)

Upper Thigh: 25.5” (-1.25”)

Mid Thigh: 26” (-1”)

Calf: 16” (no change…?!)

I’m pretty pleased with the loss in my thighs (I have what you’d call… thunder thighs). I feel much muscular. Disappointed in arms (ugh c’mon arms! What is UP?!) as well as calves. My calves have always been muscular and I know there’s not much fat on them but it would be nice if they shrunk a little bit! Hmmph. I had a secret personal goal of getting to 190lbs in phase 2 but I am just over it. My not-so-secret goal is to get down to 180lbs by the end of phase 3… 12lbs in 4 weeks? Realistically I’ll probably get to 184 or 185 but that’s still ok with me! Then I have to think about the next plan of attack after JMBR… maybe ripped in 30 with a little kickboxing? I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it! Until then… have a great week everyone and I’ll be checking in once I complete workouts 9, 10, and cardio 3!
