So, I blogged here about eating lots of carrot cake and gaining a pound this week. I could feel bad about it, but I don’t.
Honestly, though, I thought that I had done enough to at least maintain this week. Seriously, folks, I ADDED work outs and cut calories the other days, so the gain was a tad bit of a shock to me.
We have to learn how to listen to our bodies and gaining a pound is my body telling me that it has now adapted to my work out schedule. I have been doing Turbo Jam’s Cardio Party and once a week, either the Shred or another strength training DVD. My body has said, I’m onto you, April.
So, starting tomorrow, I’m changing it up. I’m not thrilled about this because I LOVE Turbo Jam, but I think for a while at least, it needs to be done. So, I’m going back to the P90X work outs. And while I’m not going to do the entire program, I’m hoping that a few weeks of this new schedule will be enough of a shock to my system.
So, for all of you that are curious, here is the schedule I’m going to be adopting for the next few weeks:
Day 1-Chest and Back (strength training)
Day 2-Plyometrics
Day 3-Shoulders and Arms, Ab Ripper (strength training)
Day4-Rest or Cardio X (we’ll see how I’m feeling at this point)
Day 5-Legs and Back, Ab Ripper (strength training)
Day 6-Kenpo
Day 7-Rest
I’ve done this program before and it’s awesome but the schedule SUCKS. But I really think that this is what my body needs to get back into gear!! So, wish me luck!!!
