Phase 2 of the Shred

So today I started phase 2 of the shred...


Well make that "tries to start phase 2"... I found the exercises much more difficult! But I hope it will get into shape over the next few days, much like phase 1, I was all over the place during the first couple of days.

Sick Days

I've been sick for the last two days, and I feel like DFGHJKJVC...

Unfortunately, I didn't exercise during this time, so besides feeling physically down from the flu or whatever, but I'm also feeling terrible from not exercising :(

The 70's are soooo back!

I'm glad to inform you that I have moved back to the 70's!

I'd been in the 80's for about 18 months now, so it was a pleasant surprise (not really, I was anxiously waiting for this...)

I'm just happy to see some improvement :)

Day 7

Yesterday I had to work! All freaking day, and it was a Saturday :(

So with 4 hours of sleep on me, I just managed to drag myself out of bed and get to work... I didn't exercise in the morning, I'm not even sure I remembered to brush my hair for that matter.

Anyway, got home at 6pm and I was sooooo exhausted from a really long week, and I just thought: damn I need a nap!

And so it was, nap time! Till 11pm :x :x :x

I woke up at that time still feeling lazy as hell... Checked my email and the internets, started to gain courage do go and exercise. But time wasn't on my side; I live in a large apartment building.
I imagined myself doing my jumping jacks and my neighbours downstairs running for cover thinking it was (another) earthquake. I thought of going outside for a run, but it was almost midnight. Anyway, I kept on procrastinating and avoiding what must be done!

I was actually hating myself by this point, thinking about how lazy I was and how I MUST exercise everyday. Anyway, I was really in the mood for some cardio, but silent cardio... Not going to happen without a machine. So I just did some yoga and pilates, not really cardio but it was almost an hour of some sort of exercise.

Ah well, I did fell terrible about it, but this morning I got up and went straight to my shred :)
I know loads of people say you should exercise on an empty stomach, as it burns more fat... But when I do this, like today, I feel like I am so energy lacking and just slow!
