Week 3, Day 4
My SMART Quest for today is: Stay on track. I really feel that the slight change I made in my eating habits is working. I have lost about 3 1/2 pounds this week so far and my things have gone down finally! Yeah! So I want to stay focused and I feel motivated to do it!
I have a dinner function to put on at my daughter's HS tonight for about 180 people. I have been trying to do all of the pre work for the event and will be there today from 2:00 pm until about 11:00 pm. I will need to have a good strategy for eatng if I want to continue to be successful.
Sleep: 5 1/2 hours - Went to bed about 11:30 pm - I was so tired. I had a lot on my mind, I had at least 2 anxiety attacks where I felt like I was dying. it is so scary, and this seems to happen when I am under a lot of stress.
Awoke: 5:05 am

Workout: 5:25 am
Today I am doing a series of 5 Tabata Intervals based on Scott Colby's Ageless Abs 2 Program! I am still adding extra time to the intervals and I continue to try and do more advanced moves. Instead of doing 20 seconds on - 10 seconds rest, I am doing 30 seconds on 10 seconds rest.
Metabolic Ignition Phase - Weeks 3 and 4
5 Tabata Intervals
These are timed Intervals: Set your Gymboss Timer
to 2 intervals of 30 seconds & 10 seconds and 8 rounds. Each round is 5:20 minutes/seconds.
Heisman's - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 88, 88, 87, 88, 88, 85, 85, 87 reps per round. I felt like I lost a few reps this time. I was really tired and had a hard time getting into the exercises, but by the end of this first workout I felt more like myself. I neede more sleep.
Switch Kicks - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds - 63, 58, 55, 61, 60, 62, 61, 62 reps per round. These were hard to do today! I was all over the place with the reps, but glad when it was over. I could really feel this in my abs & legs.

MINDSET: I am writing this the day after. I came home so late from the dinner function. It was exhausting. I ended up with over 15 helpers, but with all the people we had to serve, and the tension in the kitchen from the caterer, it was stressful. I did not get home until almost midnight. I went right to bed, but I was still reeling from the night. I am proud that I drank a lot of water, was not tempted by the alcohol or food and desserts that were served. I stayed on track! I am glad the day is over, it was soething that had been causing me a lot of stress as I really didn't feel like doing this dinner function!
