Jumanji End of Week 2 & 3

Normally I would have split these posts but, when I got on to write my week 3 wrap-up I realized I never posted my week 2!  I figured I would just post them both here.  

Week 2
This week was a bit easier than last week.  Honestly I felt like I wasn't doing enoyuggh.  I switched my ab and calf days.  Monday, Wednesday, Friday I did abs and Tuesday, Thursday I did calves.  {I really don't think anything will EVER help my calves though}   The Rock's plan called for 60 minutes on the treadmill.  I HATE running.  I get my 60 minutes in by biking, or using the elliptical or arc trainer.  



Week 3
I was really sore this week.  I upped the weight on every exercise.  My legs were killing me after leg day.  My quads were on fire and I didn't want to walk for 3 days.  I'm hoping week 4 will be this good.  I actually ejoy being sore.  It makes me feel like I did something.  {side note:  Soreness, or lack thereof, is no indication for how well you did on your workout}  Saturday and Sunday were busy for us this week.  We went to the beach for a couple hours Saturday and then we went to Disney Sunday.

Jumanji End of Week 1


I was proud of myself this week.  I did it.  I made it to the end of the week without dying.  



Diet
I basically stuck to my diet. No added fat, mostly whole foods. Not a ton of carbs. Fixing my diet was a blessing. My stomach really didn't bother me at all this week.

Workouts
The Rock's workouts were a lot like my normal workouts. There was more volume to them. I only had to change a couple exercises because i either didn't have the equipment or couldn't figure out how to do them. I did abs on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and calves on Tuesday and Thursday. Next week I'll switch the days.  By Friday every muscle in my body was sore. Saturday and Sunday are rest days with this workout. Normally i would be out and about with the kids on weekends but this weekend was spent at a dance competition.
Dance competitions are a lot of sitting. ALOT of sitting.....like 8+ hours of sitting. {Partially my fault. I could be walking around but, I don't} and my eating habits aren't the best while I'm there. Munching and snackies and not a whole lot of fruits and veggies.

Due to being out of town i didn't get a week 1 weight or measurement but I'll make sure to get one next week. I have to lose 35 pounds and/or 4 pants sizes by July so it's time to start werkin'.

Jumanji Workout



Originally I had planned to spend this month doing CrossFit workouts.  I was going alphabetically thru a CrossFit website's list.  {In case you're interested it's WodWell.com} I stopped after a week because I was bored.  I have nothing against CrossFit but, the workouts I did were SO repetitious.  I think I did more pull ups in that week then I have in all my years of going to the gym.  I know that this is just do to the luck of the draw but, I couldn't stand doing the same 4 exercises day in and day out.  



I came across this workout when I was wandering around the internet one day.  It's The Rock's workout that he used to get in shape for Jumanji a few years back. {CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT}  This is a perfect workout for me.  He does daily cardio, the workouts are split into different body parts every day and it's the type of workout that I enjoy.

I'm hoping that this brutal workout will jumpstart my weight loss.  I'll update you at the end of this week.
