I don't jump well. But I'm trying. I think its mostly my gimp knee.
Yesterday I did this workout...
It isn't too difficult but I walked/ran 3 miles before hand. I wasn't jumping very well the first part. Part two I hated everything and said every curse word in the book. My sister was coaching me from the couch, "Butt down! Push it! Come on! 10 seconds!" That helped.
I always feel good when I've completed the workout. It is hard to get mad at Zuzana, she seems so nice and she is pushing herself through the workout too. But during the workout, that is another story.
The fresh air yesterday was glorious!!! My skin felt great and my lungs felt clean and as if they were expanding more. Maybe it is my choice of profession that makes me particular observant of air reaching the ends of the bronchial tree...
Now I have to figure out which workout to do today.
Ugh.

Motivation.
This music video is my motivation for today.
The theatre geek/director in me does not believe JLo's words for a second. You can feel how awkward she feels singing the lyrics. She def does not want to have "party people" especially "in the club." Pitbull on the other hand, I believe him. But it is a great pump you up song for a workout and her body is amazing. DANCE PARTY!
Time to sweat!
What are you doing to get off your duff today?

Challenge?
Oh those.
So February, I attempted a salad a day challenge. I succeeded for a little over a week and had unique salads - not just your lettuce, carrots, toms, cukes, and house dressing. I was ready to continue on when I got some advice from my massage therapist, who is well versed in Chinese medicine. "No more salad. Your small intestine cannot handle it." I didn't even tell her I was vegetarian/vegan, never mind any mention of my salad challenge! Oh and I have IBD. She was right. I was actually uncomfortable in the belly. She was scarily right about so many things by just reading my meridian lines. And now she moved and I won't be able to see her again. I only get to spoil myself with such trips to massage therapists around Christmas & my birthday cause I beg for gift certificates, but now I DON'T KNOW WHO TO SEE! Basically I was receiving an acupressure treatment. I really think there is so much behind eastern medicine.
Well this was about challenges initially. Now it has become about my needs. But I guess these challenges are for my needs too.
MARCH, I was thinking I could make this some sort of Motivational March 30 day challenge. It will go into April, as there are not 46 days in March. I am a better person when I workout and school really turned the fitness portion of my life upside down. I found BodyRock.TV through other healthy living blogs and initially I was scared. But I'm a tough broad so I've been doing some of these home workouts, and now I'm going to challenge myself to do them 5 days a week, for 30 days.
Other fitness thingys and goals? Yoga - I've dropped the ball. But that actually worked out to my advantage. I'll tell ya why some other day. I've been logging miles, but I haven't updated on the side there. I'm going to run outside tomorrow for the first time this year!!! So excited.
Sorry this is boring but I'll leave you with a sexy Zuzana video. This workout kicked my butt. I couldn't finish it the first time I tried it, but today = success!
