My Aunt's Awesome Idea

My aunt texted me yesterday with an awesome idea...do the workout without Jillian and just listen to music.  She said I should text her when I was done as an added accountability issue.  I might not have Jillian there pushing me on, but I could imagine she was there encouraging me instead. 

It worked. 

Instead of timing myself I counted each exercise.  I did one of Jillian's circuits and counted out what I was doing...30 jumping jacks...50 jump ropes...30 jumping jacks...50 jump rope...15 push-ups (girly style)...30 static lunges with bicep curls...15 push-ups (girly style)...30 static lunges with bicep curls...30 crunches...30 reverse crunches...try not to puke as I do Jillian's cool down which is stretches. 

Now my arms feel like jell-o, my legs burn, and I feel like throwing up.  Did I mention the sweat running down my back and my face?  My whole body is trying to go into melt-down mode.  That's a good sign. 

Tomorrow I'll do the same thing.  Honestly, I almost liked this more than the workout with Jillian.  With this I'm in control.  Maybe once I replace my DVD player I'll trade off doing this and doing the 30 Day Shred

Thanks, Aunt Val!!  I love you!

Have a great day, all!
