Day 3

Whew, I am definately feeling sore from the last 2 days and also feeling tired. Both emotionally and physically. I am attending 2 different Greek classes from Mon-Fri , 3hours (3 times/wk), 2hrs (3times/wk). I am finding it a bit difficult to juggle that between dance classes, socializing, and incorporating my new fitness routine. But I'll figure it out :)

I ended up waking up late today, so I only had a banana for breakfast. When I came home, I had a 0% Greek yogurt with honey.

In the evening, I danced for 2 hours, but I felt that I should do at least SOMETHING. (Dance doesn't really feel like exercise- more like PLAY TIME! )
So there! Although it is 1am, I completed  the 100 Supergirl Plank.

I didn't do all 100reps in plank position, I had to go on my knees (which felt too easy), so I did the last 30 reps in the right position.

I think by tomorrow, my legs will feel better, so that I can do the "One legged Gypsy"

First day of BODYROCKIN'

Last year, while browsing youtube, I found a website called bodyrocktv.
It takes a modern approach to working out. It is really inspiring, since the girl who does it has a smokin' body (!!) and they really are really fun, different workouts from what I am used to.

I was an assistant manager of a big gym chain in Canada, so naturally I was a bit skeptical about getting results working out at home. But seeing many people follow these workouts have motivated me to try them.

2007 (I think)

Since moving to Greece Sept 2008, I have put on some weight, and I am tired of seeing my flabby tummy, love handles, thighs, and new parts of body that I never worried about (like my back!)

Sometimes I am discouraged when I use to think that I use to do a bit of modelling. Nobody back home has noticed that I've put on weight, but I do see a big difference underneath the clothes. I might have the same frame, but not as tight as I used to be.

So, today, I decided to commit myself to their bodyrock schedule. I went through the workout archives from the beginning, and since today is Tuesday, I did the workout challenge, which was 1000 skips.

I do not have a skipping rope, so I pretended I had one and did 1000 skips within 8mins and 10sec. At first I felt my calve muscles hurting (Well, not hurting, just burning!) but at the end, I felt "That was it? I could definately do more!"

I have to remind myself to start slowly. Tomorrow I will do a workout, "Balance, Strength, Agility"
