So here I am at the end of Day 7! The day started a little late because I decided to sleep in and catch up on some of the sleep that I did without this week. Did a little grocery shopping, had a great lunch with the family, went to the park with Cristian and M E and practiced baseball. After the park we came home and M E and I did the Sweat / Cardio / Ab Ripper workout. OK, so here comes the Whine...Where is my cheese?
The stretching was good. Warmed up my muscles and got me ready for my beating a la Tony! I think I did something to my left knee and my left shoulder feels like someone hit it with a sledge hammer. So off we go with the workout. Knee lifts...yeah well that about killed me. Running...ummm lets not go there, more like a light jog and at times a brisk walk. Running lunges...yeah that was not happening, modification time to keep moving...I was soooooooooo ready to go through the TV screen and side kick Tony by the time we made it to kicks. I really was not in the mood for my workout today. Who said that protein is good for healing sore muscles? I am sooo not believing them right now because I have had 2 protein shakes, a SUPER protein bar, and tried to eat some high in protein food within the last couple of days and I still feel like I just got beat down. But...I hang in there whining and complaining every so often just so someone knows I am still there.
On to the arms and punches. Much better...I was feeling a little better about this segment of the workout. Jabs and cross punches....I was really throwing my hip for those cross punches. Hooks and upper cuts....Now you know you are getting really into your workout when you upper cut yourself. Yes, I was fighting with myself there for a half-second and upper cut myself right in the nose...But I made it through my workout and really pushed myself on the Ab Ripper. I guess I figured the whining was getting me nowhere and I was NOT going to give up and throw in the towel! So bring on Day 8, weigh in day. I am ready to step on the scale and see how well my hard work has paid off. Stay tuned....
Signing off...Lara

You guys should try some creatine powder about 30 minutes before your workout. It works miracles and its great for muscle recovery and gives you tons more energy before your workout. I love it and its not killer in the calories...tastes good too!
