Hello everyone!
I. Am. Sore.
This is what happens when I get a real workout in. Last night I kicked ass at my MS- I did level 1 day 1 with 20 reps a leg (upping to 25 today) and I did 30 minutes of cardio. Today will be my real day 1 since Monday just plain old sucked.
There is something I have noticed about TAM workouts and me.
I can get sore from MS alone, but the real kicker that leaves me unable to climb/descend stairs/get up from a sitting position is when I do that PLUS cardio. And I don't even really jump- Just step touching and breaking a sweat to the best of your ability will kick your ass. Whatever fitness level you are at, you have to push yourself during both. You don't want to be SO sore that you can't work out the next day, but sore enough that you feel like you did something.
My diet went well too- stayed within my points range and everything. Also- I had NO soda yesterday! Just tea and water. Trying to kick the diet coke, or at least just have less of it.
Getting ready to start my day- Upping those reps is gonna kill me one day, hahaha
Have a great day and check back soon!

Power 90 Day 3
Hello!
Ok, so I got the hang of how Power 90 works now, and the first two days I sorta just went with it to see what it would feel like.
Day 3, another strength day, hurt. It hurt a lot. This time I did something different. Instead of trying to do as many as I could trying to keep up with the people in the video (not completing all 15 reps of most of the exercises), I did what I used to do with Metamorphosis- watch, pause, do, repeat. It took a little longer than the 30 or so minutes but the end result is I was able to get the most out of it
Speaking of muscle soreness and cramping, if you didn't already know, drinking coconut water is a great way to help alleviate some of the pain. The reason is because coconut water has a lot of potassium in it (more than a banana) and it is very hydrating. While at Costco today, I was browsing the aisles (I haven't been there in a while) and to my delight and surprise, they now carry 12 packs of Vita Coco plain coconut water. Pricing depends on your local Costco but by me it was a little over $15 for a pack of 12 and I ended up buying 2 cases.
Today is Christmas Eve, some of you may already be celebrating early, or depending on where you are, it might be Christmas now. Hannukah is also in progress, so I will close this post by wishing all of you (wether you celebrate or not) a happy, healthy holiday season.
