Day 1 and 2

Day 1

I was super amped for Day 1.
For breakfast the strawberries and mint was rather refreshing and my colleagues were intrigued with my TAM menu and I'm sure were wondering whether it was another fad of mine [a flashback of me preparing for my wedding and the strict detox Goop diets I followed religiously and the colon detox, all in aid for my wedding, and bless my poor hubby, then finance, followed the Goop detox too).
Lunch's soup was tasty, I quite liked the sweet potato.  It wasn't easy though as work decided get pizza for lunch and while everyone was stuffing themselves on the array of pizza's available, wafting the aroma of freshly baked pizza in the air, I slowly sipped and chewed my soup.  I find that when it's my first day of a new fad / eating regime I'm usually super motivated so it didn't really phase me.
The snack was just delightful!  It was heaven in a pot, seriously!  Again this threw my colleagues that I was eating chocolate when I'm meant to be 'dieting'.  So yum!

CardioI had to work late, so by the time I got home, it was a little late but this didn't dampen my mood and I was soon changed in my gym gear.  My lovely hubby laid out the floor mats for me and off I started on the cardio first.  I pushed myself for 40min but seriously wanted to quit at 30min.  I recognised some of her moves from her other dvd's which was good.  I also notice that there is chopping and changing between certain moves that will be impossible to do like for like though I gather these are to give you an idea of what to do and how you can use the movements and routines to design your own routine which incorporates all her moves.


Toning: I really pushed myself to do 40 reps for each sequence.  As I said previously, I am very motivated during the first day so I had a lot of dedication.  However, I must stress, it wasn't a walk in the park (which is a good thing don't get me wrong and I liked the fact you could feel the burn which to me, means something is working).  Halfway through the legs, I felt as though I was one of those body builders at the gym who likes to groan out in agony every time he lifts a heave weight.  Now the heave weight was my heavy legs, but boy did it burn and I really pushed for the 40 reps.  I had the end goal of how I would look in my vision.  My husband once asked me if I would moan and scream during birth, if we were everyto well, I think I've answered his question the way I was groaning as I pushed through the last reps.  Heaven only knows if our neighbours heard us, what they thought we were up to!
By the end of it all, I was exhausted but happy with the good effort made!

Day 2

The food for Day 2 was good and I was really hungry in the morning.  I worked late again so by the time I arrived home it was super late.  I only started exercising at 12pm.  This is pure dedication, you would never have caught me exercising so late - especially till 2am in the morning!!!  Though I was not going to miss a day of exercising!  It was SO hard, the cardio was fun though and I found I had a bit more energy.  The toning was so hard.  I could only manage 30 reps for some and others I could push for 40.  By 2:30 I was exhausted but happy with my efforts..
