Day 11

Umm....WOW!  I thought I gained new strength only to find I have way more to gain.  Level 2 is not easy!  It's hard feeling like you are starting from square 1 again.  I just got through 10 days and would have thought day 11 would not have killed like that.  Man-that was tough.  But what I'll focus on is I did it.  I did every move.  My entire body is shaking right now.  LOL  I guess that's a good sign.  I'm getting nervous as to what the other levels will be like!!!  I'll just focus on the one I am on and remind myself I'm getting stronger!!!

Hipcentric Day 10!!!!!!!!!

Yay!  I got through 10 days!!!  I'm so excited!!!  I am sitting here dripping with tons of sweat (lovely image, I know) so stinkin' happy I finished day 10!!!  
The muscular structure part got, not easy, but doable.  I'm thrilled to know that I've gained muscle already.  I couldn't do those moves as easily (well still not easy) last week.  I was also able to up 2 of the leg moves to 30 reps when last week it was 20reps.  I just love the feel of progress!!!  
I just completed the dance cardio and have to say I don't know how to like it.  I'm pushing through it.  I think jumping up and down, at 40 years old after giving birth to 4 big babies isn't natural.  It doesn't feel well.  I took about 3 breaks which was good!!  I just jumped back in.  I do my workouts in front of a mirror now and I'm glad because I can see the progress.  So much of me jiggles right now and I just keep telling myself to dance that jiggle off of you!!!  A day is coming where you will see less jiggle.  
I'm going to take pictures and measurements tomorrow morning before day 11 begins.  I'm hoping this will motivate me to get to day 90!  


This workout does work.  I do see progress.  But it is TOUGH!  It's not easy by any means but the way it makes me feel is sooooo worth it so I will continue to push through.   I do wish the scale would cooperate more.  It doesn't seem to like me.  :)

Hipcentric Day 9

I feel like I've been doing this workout for years when it's only day 9!!  I am shocked as to how much i sweat!  It's unbelievable!  I can definitely do these moves better now then on the early days although they're still really hard to do.  I got the muscular structure work done this morning.  I do add a little webisode-originial ab and arm webisode so I end up doing about 50 min worth.  Then after lunch I did the cardio.  UGH!!!  Sorry Tracy-but I hate it!  You keep saying that I'll get better at it and learn to love it but not by 8 I do.  I sure hope by next week!!!  Otherwise I'll push through.  I know the saying no pain - no gain but this is hard!!!   My shins have handled the dancing well so far.  However, my calves are burning still.
So I haven't been faithful on the diet.  I have 4 small children at home asking for food every 5 minutes and I just can't handle the diet.  It's too little food for me right now.  So I am compensating by the eliptical or treadmill.  I constantly change the inclines so hopefully that's not too awful-I know it's against TA.  Until I can really get the dance cardio going-I am including this other form of cardio.
Well I made it through day 8!  Yay me!!!  Now off to have a green monster!!

Hipcentric Day 8

Not easy today.  I'm super sore from the dancing.  I confess that my first time dancing again was on day 6-which was a saturday.  Thankfully-I had a rest day the next day.  Yet my calves are still on fire.  I'm actually limping when I walk.  I know for sure that the dancing is instrumental to the results and will just get through it.

The muscular structure workout is getting a bit easier from days 1-4.  I wanted to puke on those days.  Can't believe how weak I've become.  I love the soreness.  I know things are working.  It amazes me that only 30 minutes gives me this kind of soreness. 

I'm glad Tracy says to sweat and to love sweating because I really sweat!!!  The dancing was difficult.  It always is for me.  My calves were on fire but I just pushed through.  I couldn't follow her completely but kept glancing over at her on my little TV seeing her new moves and then would try to do them.  I hda to stop about 3 times for a breather and water.  Then jumped back in.  I dance infront of a mirror and so much jiggles!  I keep telling myself one day it won't!
