Too Determined To Be Defeated...

Today is the first day in a week that I've woken up and not had any sore muscles.  I moved around a little, stretching my arms out, lifting my knees up...nope...nothing's aching, nothing's sore.  Yay!
Then I looked at the calendar.
Uh oh.
It's Thursday.  CrossFit day.
Well, so much for not being sore!!! Guess I'll just enjoy this day and we'll see what tomorrow brings!

I started the day with half an hour of Zumba in preparation for my Zumbatomic class this Saturday.  Zumba for kids is so much fun!  The music is adorable and getting the kids to wiggle and dance is awesome!  And it is such a great workout!

I didn't have the energy to plan a workout this morning so I went back to the Do You Really Want Those Abs? program.  For anyone wanting immediate results on their stomach, this is a great one.  I noticed definition quite quickly after I started doing it.  It includes three exercises that each target one area of the abdominal muscles and is then followed by bicycles, which incorporate all the areas of your abs.  Plus, the super high reps will ensure you feel it tomorrow!
Give yourself between 20-30 minutes to do it.  And remember - slower is better when doing crunches!

When I'm needing some extra motivation...I usually look for quotes or sayings that appeal to me.  Sometimes it's all I need to get going and work harder.  There are a few that have stuck with me over the years and I have them printed out on my fridge at home.  While I'm waiting for the water to heat up for my tea, I look over them.  It's a great way to adjust your mind and attitude before walking out the door in the morning.
This is the one I use mostly for training (it's also up on the wall in my workout room) and for those days when it feels like everyone is out to bring you down. :)

Too optimistic to be fearful. 

And too determined to be defeated. "

Oh yeah! :D
