This Morning's Good and Bad

I had intended on getting up early to get in some cardio, but when my daughter woke me up at 4:20am, I felt like death, and skipped my 5am workout to sleep in until 6am.  Yes, that right 6am is sleeping in for me lol.  I feel much better now, my body really needed the sleep after a very long work day yesterday and what will be a late work day today.  Its an excuse but sleep is important too!

On a more positive note, my size 4 work pants are loose on me today!  And, I'm starting to be able to see my lower abs underneath my lovely mom skin. :)

Breakfast was same as yesterday: 3 omega 3 eggs with spinach, green peppers & onions and sundried tomatoes with a little organic cheese. 

And I'm super boring and my lunch and snack will be my homemade chilli again. 

This Mornings HIIT

20 seconds max effort, 10 seconds rest for 30 cycles

Bear with me b/c I don't know what some of these are called in the rotation:
- Single Arm Kettleball (20 lbs) Swings
- 180 degree turn squat jumps
-  push up on 15 lbs dumbbells, then while in plank position reach one arm up to the ceiling, then repeat other arm
- Jump up onto a little trampoline, do a jump, jump off

I repeated each exercise for 20 seconds, then rested 10 seconds, then moved on to the next for 20 seconds, etc.  The turning squat jumps were definitely the hardest for me.  My sides were killing me after this workout!

This Mornings Intervals

This morning I did 15 minutes of intervals - 20 seconds of max effort with 10 seconds of rest.

I alternated the following exercises:

jumping jacks (my daughter was up and insisted on this one)

20 lbs kettle ball swings

burpees with a pushup

lunge jumps (alternating legs in lunges)

hand walkouts

all of this was done as fast as I could for 20 seconds
