July challenge - my week

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to post how my week went for the challenge! Overall, my

week was pretty good, as I hit all of my planned workouts. We will

also go for a bike ride and/or dog walk over the long weekend so I

will hit my ideal of 5 workouts this week (maybe 6!)

I did 30 day shred on Tues and Thurs, followed by 's Walk

Strong (two different workouts with the same name) and did long

treadmill cardio on Mon and Wed.

I struggled with Shred on both days. Tues because I was feeling off,

and while today was better, it was still more of a challenge than I

prefer. I like to feel challenged - but not defeated, and I was

bordering defeated both times. I'm going to do Shred again the week

after next before I decide too much about it, as it could have just

been an off week for me. I like Jillian in this one, whereas in one

of my Biggest Loser dvds I cannot stand her, and I don't care for her

much in her Maximize set. But no ill feelings toward her in this

one, so that's a good thing!

Doing walk strong (either one) following Shred wasn't a good plan, so

I won't do that again. I should have done a that just uses

light weights, but that's initially what I thought I was doing until

the first workout got going! I knew what I was in for today, but

wanted to compare the two walk strongs, so I just went with it.

I had really good treadmill workouts, with just doing the hill

program (walking) each time. But, I was previewing some of my " new

to me " FIRM videos, and that really made the time fly by! I was more

interested in seeing my new workouts than watching the clock on the

treadmill. I'm leaning toward a month of FIRM in August, so that

time on the treadmill is helping me decide how to mix and match, lol.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and holiday (or belated holiday)!

I'll check in Sun at the latest, with my plan for next week.
