Week 3: my working out every day.

This week the kids were on spring break so I was able to work out more. I made a little mistake last week with my post. I try to work out everyday but not 4 hours a day. 1 hour a day. My goal is to work out everyday.

Last week I did: 

1:15 Kickboxing, 1 hour Zumba, 1 hour Pilates, 1 hour yoga, 1:30 walking/running.

I also did 30 minutes of cardio. I was going to try this new class but the baby would not get up and eat so it took us longer to get there and I only did 30 minutes of the 1 hour class. It was not my favorite and I was actually bored. I also did the 30 minutes abs class and did not like it. I could not do any of the floor exercises correctly. I guess I need to improve but I did not feel it was very effective. The Pilate class is way more effective. I did 15 minutes of weights for my upper body. Total of 7 hours for last week.

I started to really like Yoga and looking forward to the class. I am still not good at it.

My diet was pretty good and I started eating a chicken salad for every meal for 3 days. I can see my waist shrinking but the scale is not showing anything yet. 

7 hours in a week is my top achievement. 

My fitness journey can be very frustrating at time because results are very slow and I can't quit. I guess it's like everything. I have to keep going otherwise my efforts are gone.

I had 4 cinnamon buns for my cheat day and it made me very sick. I count it as a positive. I am eating less sugar and white bread and my body notices.

Fitness progress: Week 2 of 4 hours a week workouts

Last week I did 4 hours and 20 minutes of fitness.

1 hour Kckboxing, 1 hour Zumba, 1 hour Pilates and 1 hour of Yoga. 20 minutes of weights for my legs and arms.

This week was pretty good for the workouts and I burned 1 pound of fat: 3500 calories. My scale doesn't work so I am not sure if I lost pounds. Also I ate a lot this week. I find it hard to prepare dinner for my family and eat something different. I felt like I was starving the whole week though.

Dropping the baby at the gym day care was very hard this week because she would cry. She was very happy when I would pick her up and would say that she had fun with her friends.It still pretty much would destroy my first 20 minutes of my workouts because I was sad.

Soleil also started waking me up at night. I felt more tired than usual. 

I drunk 1 gallon of water or 8 glasses of water a day.

If you are new to my page, this is my second year of working out. After no activity for 15 years and 4 babies. I did 1 to 2 hours of Boxing and kickboxing with walking to total to 4 hours a week of working out for 8 months. The last 4 months I had no activity. Pretty tough winter. I gained at least 12 pounds back.

My goal is to keep working out this year, loose the weight and be fit.

How was your week?

Trying new things in fitness: Zumba, Yoga and Pilates

I haven't blogged about my fitness journey for a very long time. I stopped exercising for 4 months. Pretty much all winter.

But I am back in full power. I am trying new things and new classes.

This week I had:

- 1 hour kickboxing at a new gym: It always makes me very sore the next day.

- My first Zumba class: Super fun. Not a lot of calorie burning.

- My first Pilates class: Very  hard and I was very sore the next morning. 

- My first yoga class: Not a lot of calorie burning but wonderful stretch after one week of working out.

I go to a gym with child care because working out at home with a 2 year old is a real joke for me and pretty stressing.

I exercise in the mornings and I am not a morning person. Very hard! But I want to be home in the evenings for my family and it works better that way.

My baby really likes to play for 1 hour almost everyday with her new little friends. We are both happy then.

My goal is still to be fit and it is going to be hard but it is making me happy. 2 months before it gets warm and I want a killer bod!

I am trying new classes again this week.

Have you tried those classes? What do you like?
