I couldn't do it. Lord knows I tried, but I don't currently possess the self discipline to get my butt out of bed and workout, even for only 22 minutes. At night, I'd make an excuse and still not get it done. Know what, though? I recognized that I need an accountability partner in my life, and so I start up again with my dad and our weights in the basement.
Hard Corps is a good program, and when I did do the workout, I felt amazing. Part of my issue, I think, was that it is a 6 day on, 1 day off program, so you're working out Monday through Saturday, and using Sunday as a rest day. It's a military style workout, so it's a lot of squats, pushups, crunches, lunges, etc., and if you don't have any Recover on hand, you are going to hurt by Wednesday. I mean HURT, as in I could barely get up the 5 steps to get into the building by Wednesday morning, week one. I snagged some of the Recover drink from dad (we have it shipped to his house), and was able to finish out week one, but then I started slacking off. Then I started over, got two days in, and gave up. You know what, though? That's ok. It helped me realize that I need someone to help keep me accountable, and that person is dad. Besides, I have found that I love weight lifting, and if I want to get my cardio in, I can still use Hard Corps for that. Or maybe Body Combat, because let's face it, that's my soul workout.
In other news, we've added a meatless option to our menu one day a week. I have found that I feel better all around, and have begun looking for more new recipes to use. At a libraries luncheon on Friday, I had opted for the vegetarian lasagna instead of the pot roast, so now I'm on the hunt for a good lasagna recipe. Especially since I had one recipe that used nutritional yeast, and I have a lot left over.
I need to head back to work - or start work, rather. Make today awesome!
