Back on Track

So, I was up today before the alarm.  I guess it bugged me yesterday so much that today there was no way I was hitting the snooze button.  
I did half an hour of Zumba and then followed it with some new exercises.  (In fact, when I got home from karate last night I tried a few of these out).  I can't remember where I found them because I had photocopied them for my binder but a lot of them involve pivoting (which helps work the core) and using dumbbells while incorporating the whole body. 
The plan looked as follows:
12 (each side) Triangle Press (stolen from Jillian Michaels)
 15 Superman Roll into Pike Crunch (my new favourite!)
12 Dumbbell Blast-Off Pushup Hold

24 Dumbbell Pivoting Goblet Squat (this is becoming another favourite! - great for glutes!!!)

12 (each side) Bicep Curl
50 Russian Twist Crunches
15 Leg Circles

And then I ran out of time...I might need to get up even earlier. :)

So tomorrow will mark one week since I started.  I did weigh myself that first day and took a body fat percentage count with our personal trainer's fancy scale.  I also took measurements in inches as well.  So tomorrow I'll probably get back on the scale and see if there's been any difference over the last week.  I'm not getting my hopes up though.  When I look in the mirror,  I don't really see any difference at all.  But I didn't expect to only work out for one week, so it's all good!  I'll post the results tomorrow along with what my numbers were when I started.   :)
