Two Weeks Strong!

Today ended two weeks of the 30 Day Challenge. And let me tell you.. today was enough sweat for the entire week! I did both yesterday's workout AND the 600 Rep Challenge today. Yesterday I set my alarm early to workout in the morning since it was Friday.. and when it went off, I prayed for a snow day so I could do it in the afternoon. Needless to say, God wasn't in agreement with me. I was gone until almost 1 so I did it this morning. Rested about 30 minutes in between then did the 600 Rep Challenge. AHH. 600. My time was 18:25 which I thought was just okay, but looking at everyone else's scores/times, it was about average! YES! I'm sure tonight will be rough at work just standing around. Last week after the 400 reps, my muscles got really tight.
Here's what I did:
100 High Knees
100 Lunge Kicks
100 High Knees
100 Squats, with two 3lb weights
100 High Knees
25 Straight Abs
25 V Abs Left
25 V Abs Right
25 Bicycle Abs

I checked the timer as I went through and not only can I now do 100 High Knees without stopping, but I can do it in ONE MINUTE!

I can definitely feel the difference in endurance and strength with these workouts. My push ups are rockin too and I just feel better knowing I'm doing something 5 days a week! Two weeks left of the challenge to go. I'm half way!

I've also been doing GREAT eating better. I've gone out 3 times within the last two weeks. Minus Barley's last week, I've eaten healthy at both places. Last night was just okay... went to PF Changs with friends but my chicken was grilled and I had brown rice!

I've only lost 3lbs this week, but 3lbs is still good in my book! That makes it for a total of 8lbs! Woohoo!

It's short and sweet this week, but I have to be at work in an hour and I haven't showered. Thanks for reading and for all of you that have been keeping me accountable!

Oh yes.. and I AM doing the 5K! I have a group of friends doing (running) it (straight through), but a friend of mine decided to do it with me too. I'm going to get my "5K shoes" at the outlets tomorrow!
