Day 22: What should have been recovery...

Due to my need to P-A-R-T-Y, I ended the week by putting off Kenpo for about two days. If you have been reading, I don't really like yoga because I can't stand doing stretching and poses for a long time. I prefer Kenpo to be 1.5 hours rather than Yoga, but I didn't write the program.

Anyways, I made up for it all today (day 22, start of Week 4: Recovery) by doing Kenpo X and switching it up and trying out Cardio X. I was doing the first workout in the living room where there's a waist up mirror, and I noticed some real definition peeking in my whole upper body. I could even see the abdominal muscle lines showing right above my tummy. I got so excited that I pulled off my shirt and did the rest in my sports bra! But then I grabbed my stomach and still could do the moldy thing with the skin there... not so bad on the "love handle" sides, but I've still got the doughy doughnut consistency around the belly button.

[And after pulling out the navel ring 2 months ago in an attempt to be more mature, I p
pinched the stud back in its place where it WILL look good in 2 more months.]

...Back to the story. That's when I decided to swap out Yoga and try the Cardio. Little did I know that the cardio workout included Yoga as a warmup (damnit) and Kenpo, which I just finished (so my knees were definitely feeling overused). Plyo and the addition of Wacky Jacks were a good supplement to the Kenpo I had, though. I can't believe a silly little move like Wacky Jacks could make my outer thighs and obliques feel so much burn! It's ridiculous!

Looking ahead on the calendar, I do Kenpo on Ash Wednesday, a Roman Catholic day of abstinence and fasting. I am going to need some nourishment for this, and I fear I will have to turn to the bread and water diet for this particular day, in order not to crash hard...
