The rest of the work out was a whirlwind of jumping, jumping, and more jumping. Jumping lunges, back lunge and pop into a front kick, jumping squat into an upright row. Then you think you're getting a break with the static moves- DON'T BE FOOLED these are much harder than the jumping- holding chair pose with weights- oh my. There was a really fun cable move where you do a curtsy lunge and hold the cable in front of you and do a reverse fly with the cable as you lunge. The hardest move for me was a balance move in circuit four. You put a weight on the floor and bring one hand forward onto the weight- your back leg and arm are lifted behind you.
This was a great workout! If you were wanting to feel it in your butt and thighs- this is the ticket. I am a little worried about braving cardio 3 with this soreness.
The search is over for buckwheat flour. These pancakes definitely live up to the hype. I actually think it's the fruit syrup that make them so good-I used equal parts raspberries and blueberries. My tablespoons must not have been heaping enough because I got 24 pancakes out of this rather than 18.
I had the cheddar, tomato, avocado burrito for lunch- not pictured.
For my snack I had the dark chocolate, cinnamon banana pops.
And for dinner delicious tostadas from cooking light- OMG, so good and less than 400 calories for these 2. PERFECTION.
My food prep is going good, I froze the pancakes, banana pops and garlic pita chips. I am hoping to make the quinoa crunch and my own zucchini hummus tonight.
Oh, and I forgot to update my weight on Sunday with all the excitement of Easter. I try to set my calories and activity to lose 1 lb a week (4 lbs each phase). I lost 3.5 lbs - 130's good to see you!!! I am very, very happy with this. I had an endocrinologist appointment today and she was asking me how I am losing the weight since I was having so much trouble before. I have lost 7 lbs since my last appointment 8 weeks ago! Yay!
I also decided I am going to get these pants for my phase 2 completion reward. Every aspiring yogi needs something from Lululemon- no???
Hooray for the 130s. That's awesome! Those pants are going to look great on your cute little toned buns! Haha! That's a great reward. I'm scared and excited for workout 10. It 2 weeks away but I know it will be here before I know it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Catherine! I am hoping we all have buns of steel at the end of this thing! That is my problem area, so I need to embrace cardio 3!
DeleteI feel afraid...very afraid! I also am inspired by you. Congrats on your continued success! And those are adorable pants!
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid. Seriously, I know I've said this before, but I am lazy (and very hypothyroid). If I can do it, you can too and I know you will. Thank you for your support.
DeleteYay! Congratulations on 130s!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet another stellar review of those pancakes! I have been meaning to try them but just haven't had a chance yet. I'll need to clear my schedule and make time this weekend. They look delish!
Thank you! And you MUST try the pankcakes. I was a holdout thinking they couldn't be THAT good. I was wrong. Seriously, ah-mazing.
