Day 5 (took weekend off, though I still managed to get all my steps in). Energy was almost non-existent, but motivation was there! Got home really late and didn't get to sleep until around 1 a.m.; BUT I did NOT want to start the week off lazy, so I made myself do SOME kind of exercise. I used the running app on my phone, but I'm not going to lie. I did more speed-walking and walking than actually running. I ran a few times in there, but my energy was low. I was worried that if I pushed too hard, it would be harder to push myself tomorrow. Amazingly enough, I still managed to get as many steps (if not more) and worked out longer today. I'm going to count that as a *win* because I could have just taken an extra day off instead.

**TODAY'S WORKOUT**
1) Walk/Speed Walk/Run 44 minutes
2) Exercised with my 4 year old:
Jumping Jacks: 2 sets of 30
Jump Rope: 2 sets of 35
Push-Ups: 2 sets of 6 (mens)
2) Weights, Abs, & Light Cardio::

Day 4 of "The Wagon" ;P ....I.PUSHED.HARD. And my reward was that I Completed BOTH workouts today!!! WOOHOO!!!! I did not begin my running app workout exhausted or dreading it, like I did yesterday. Today, I was motivated and ready to go! Of course, my running app made sure I got tired throughout the workout, but I was determined to finish it today, and I did! Yay! Now....when I got home, I can't say the same about heading into the "30 Day Shred" with Jillian. :P I had to push a little harder to get that one done! Again, I did it at my own pace but made sure I didn't take too long of breaks between each exercise. I upped one of the exercises with a 15lb. kettlebell, but other than that, that's the only change I made from yesterday. (Yesterday was the first day of upping weights.) I will take a 2 day break this weekend and be back on Monday....hopefully. I don't want to jinx it. I want to stay on this wagon, even if that means I have to build bars around it to keep me in!

**TODAY'S WORKOUT**

1) Running App: 35 minutes COMPLETED! (Still on Day 1 of Week 1 for this, but I don't want to burn out, so I will stay here for another day or so, then move forward to Day 2 when I know I'm able to push through it. I know that's not how the app is supposed to work, but I want to do it at my own pace. Like I said, I don't want to burn out and then get discouraged again.)

2) Jillian Michaels' "30 Day Shred"
Pushups: 2 sets of 8 (men's)....1st day of upping it from 5. Don't laugh! I know 8 isn't a lot, but it's a lot for me!

Day 3 of this wagon ride! ;) Today was rough. I feel beat and kind of sad that I couldn't manage to complete the full 35 minutes of my running app workout. Only managed 18 minutes. :( However, after grocery shopping (yay for more steps at the store!) I went home and pushed myself to complete the "30 Day Shred" video. The sad part is that I only managed to do it at *my own pace*, but I really wanted to complete it since I couldn't finish my run this morning. It took me about 30-32 minutes instead of 27. But I'm glad I finished it. It was a STRUGGLE, but I finished it. I need to mention that I upped my weights from two 8lb weights, to two 12lb weights...so that probably wasn't smart. I think it's cause I felt guilty. lol

Day 2 of being back on the wagon! Was motivated to workout, but was worried I wouldn't last as long. Guess what? I completed my running app workout AND day 2 of the "30 Day Shred" workout! Of course, I DID take a 2 minute rest break midway through the running app workout, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I kinda felt like I needed it. Hopefully tomorrow I won't need a full 2 minutes.
