I decided to do one post a week on what I did for the 30-Day Shred Challenge, and my overall progress.
Day 8 – I did the yoga DVD. I really enjoy this workout and it seems like it flies by for the most part (although there are a couple things that feel like they last forever). I strained my knee (the one that has runner’s knee) doing something (not sure what), but hopefully it won’t be too bad. I’ll try wearing my knee brace.
Day 9 – Did the 30-Day Shred DVD today. As a precaution, I put on my knee brace. It didn’t give me too much trouble, and when I took it off afterwards, it wasn’t really hurting. Yeah! I’ll keep wearing it just in case for a bit. I was able to do the jump rope straight through the first time, but had to stop a couple times the second time. I also added 1.5 lbs weights to some of the moves. I didn’t want to over-do it.
Day 10 – Another day of yoga. I wore my knee brace again, just in case. It hasn’t been bothering me much, so that is good.
Day 11 – Completed another day of the 30-Day Shred DVD. Still having issues with my knee, and with getting all the way through the jump rope. But I did everything else.
Day 12 – Knee is better today, so I didn’t wear the knee brace while doing yoga. I’ll wear it tomorrow during the 30-Day Shred since there is a lot more impact with jumping around.
Day 13 – Last day of the 30-Day Shred, for the week at least. Yeah!
Day 14 – Day of rest.
Next week will be a short week as far as number of workouts I do. I am going to DC for work, so I won’t work out while I’m there. I plan to work out Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before I leave, and then do one more workout on Sunday.
So, I’m not happy with the results this week. I gained a pound, which I believe is a result of what I eat. The one thing bad about living at home with my mom is she buys lots of junk food. I usually do pretty good, but having it around makes it more tempting and easier to slip up. When I live on my own, I try not to buy the junk food so that I don’t have to even worry about it.
