I know that you guys are probably tired of me and my starting and stopping but yes,  Here I am again with a brand spanking new beginning.  I would have started on the first but I entered a 21 day free fitness study which is to begin today. Unfortunately, I was not one of the first fifty people to sign up for the study, and ( according to the guy that I spoke with yesterday when I inquired as to if and when I would hear something) I was not even one of the first 100 people to sign up since they took well over 100 participants.  Nevertheless, he took down my name and info in case they decide to add more to the study so it looks like i'm going it alone ...AGAIN.   I am disappointed that I won't be able to participate as I was looking forward to the stucture of the program.  Ah well, maybe next time.  I am a part of a 30 day fitness challenge on Facebook that began today as well so that is a good thing.  I'm not really following the workous step by step and am sort of winging it according to how I feel.  The work outs for the challenge consist of both AM and PM workouts daily.  the AM workout is core arms and butt I believe and the PM workout is a Latin Cardio vido by a guy who is the "trainer" for the challenge ( although I'm not sure what his role is other than providing the video for the PM workout.

Anyway  my plan today was to substitute Zumba for the Latin Cardio as a class setting is much more motivational for me  and much more fun.  Like I said....that was the plan until I left my home at 7:30 this morning and planned to walk on the treadmill until Zumba started at 8:30.   When I arrived a looked at the schedule, i was surprised to see that the class wouldn't be starting until 9:45 and I do not have that much time to hang out at the gym so I did 20 minutes of HIIT  ont he treadmill as well as some additional walking while listening to my audio book and when all was said and done, I had walked an hour.  Go me!   lol  I still have to do the Pm workout since I switched them up but I think again I'm going to substitute this workout and split it up by body part...I don't think it's a good idea to work the same bodyparts daily with no rest in between in order to let the moscles recover and grow so I'm just going to do maybe Cathe Friedrich's STS  or p90x 3 or something like that.  ( I have plenty of choices and I have just about every beachbody workout there is as well as TaeBo..lol and The firm so  I'm good ont he home workout front.  anyway  that's a little update where I'm at with this fitness challenge.  and I still need to lose about 75 lbs.  Wish me luck!
