3 and then a 4
Days 3 & 4 went pretty well. I ended up doing my workouts a little late, at a time that I would be doing them if i waited until after work. While that may be good for releiving some of the stress of work, I don't think its going to work in the long term. I get too keyed up working out and would probably have issues sleeping if I did that on a regular basis. I am on vacation this week, so I am able to figure out what works best. I think, for me, early morning workouts will be my best bet.
Day 3 was Shoulders/Arms and Ab Ripper. I really liked the shoulder & arms workout and I enjoyed the Ab Ripper a little more this second go through than I did the first day. I was able to take my time and complete the full reps of each exercise courtesy of the pause button. I still have to take breaks, otherwise its too painful. The exercises are intense, to say the very least.
Day 4 was Yoga. I've done a lot of pilates in the past few years, and I figured it would be similar to that. I have to say, for me, I didn't really enjoy the yoga. I like pilates because it has variety, whereas Yoga (or at least this video) goes through the same motions, adding to them in each round. I understand its benefit though, so I will continue to do it each week. My sister said it was her least favorite workout of the bunch and I have a feeling that it may be mine also. We'll see as it goes along.
Today is Kenpo, which is billed as a kickboxing type workout. It is supposed to be pretty fun, so I've got my fingers crossed that I will really enjoy it.
wish me luck.

This sounds great! Keep it up!
Reading about all of this exercise is making me hungry. Good thing there's charity chocolate bars for sale in the lunch room. :)
For reals, though, this sounds like a great workout routine, and the fact that you can do it from home is especially appealing. I'm ordinarily pretty good about getting to the gym three times a week, but when we have bad winter storms that make the roads unpassable, a good home workout would be a nice alternative.
Thanks for the support! It's appreciated!
Unfortunately, charity chocolate bars on the nutrition plan, however, when you can burn 900 calories in a workout (specifically Plyometrics), I think you can sneak in a few pieces of chocolate. :) I am not strictly following the nutrition plan, but i am incorporating the ideas of it into my diet. I'm trying to limit (and avoid) the carbs that are my weakness, and take in a higher protein diet, but if even if I fall off the diet and eat something I shouldn't, I am still going to end up in good shape at the end of this. I'm not going to go crazy with food.
