Today was another really good workout with the EA Sports Active. This “game” uses a lot of the same types of fitness concept that our lunctime workout trainer used. It engages the leg muscles a lot to get greater benefit and calorie burning out of the shorter workout time.
I do, however, have to come to grips with the fact that my left knee is something that I am probably going to have a profesional look at. Three weeks of pain isn’t normal. Granted it has subsided, and with the exercise actually seems to be doing better, but don’t want to gamble with it since I plan on walking for quite a few years to come.
I was also really impressed with the Lunge Jumps and Squat Jumps as an excercise. They hurt like hell but man does it get the heart pumping. I’m still a bit bowled over when a lot of leg exercises occur one after the other but hopefully by the end I will be shrugging these off.
Tomorrow is another rest day which means smarter choices food choices, which I try to have as my mantra every day. I’m not trying to diet, I’m trying to consisently eat a better diet. I’ve been trying to eliminate cheese and cut out unnecessary fats and sugars. This weekend was somewhat of a fail in that area with the consumption of cake and frozen yogurt. Not going to beat myself up over it though. Just take each day as a new day.
I’m really dying for some weight loss (or more to the point inches loss) as I’ve been maintaining for a while and want to continue to get the right areas smaller.
I think writing about keeping up with this 30 day challenge is really helping me to stick with it. Each day I write here means I’m more likely to continue to do something right tomorrow. Ever forward!
