Day 9

To compensate (I think) for my poor performance yesterday, after such a great showing last week, I decided to (in the words of Tony Horton) "bring it" today. I went all out! I upped the routine ... went with the sweat 3/4 DVD today. And, yes, I got my HR wa-a-a-a-ay up there! Haha!! I think my HR monitor said my max HR was 174 (in the 90% range, anyway), with an average of 146. Mostly I noticed that I was in the 150-range throughout most of the workout, though.

I really wanted to take a nap this afternoon. But, I didn't have time for the nap, the workout, and fixing a good, healthy dinner for myself. I gave myself a moment to look longingly at the recliner, and then I got the workout gear on, popped in the sweat 1/2 DVD (on auto-pilot) and then thought, you know, I ought to just try the 3/4 DVD. If it's too hard, I can go at my own pace, and next time just do the 1/2 DVD instead.

I did actually manage to mostly keep up with Tony's pace. The last round of each exercise was a little slower for me, but, I made it! Of course, I was no where near the AB200!! :-) Ummm, well, try ab80 ... which actually is now my personal best.

Plans for tomorrow are: Attempt to work through the sculpt 3/4 DVD. Next sweat + AB200 day, my goal is going to be 90 crunches.
