Day 1-3 on TAM 30 DAY METHOD!

Day1-3
 
So far I've lost 5lbs in 4 days!  I'm sure its just water weight but I don't care as long as the scale is moving.  All this work and exhaustion I better see some results!!

My journey through Day 1-3

My workout time is suppose to be at  5 am.(side note: Im not a morning person at all!!!)  The first day I rocked it out but for the last two days I just cant seem to get myself up at this time.  I keep pressing the snooze button on my phone.  Its so annoying because I set it to a 10 min snooze and by the time it goes off again it feels like I just closed my eyes.  So my morning workouts are just not happening. It's a little disappointing because that means I have to workout during lunch (I do muscle work only because I refuse to do the dance cardio and make a fool of myself in front of my co workers) and then dance cardio after a one hour commute .  By the time I get home I'm exhausted and don't want to even think of working out.  However, the last few days I've been pushing myself to get it in. Last night  (Day 3) was really hard for me. I had to do both muscle work and cardio after a two hour long commute because of the traffic. Ughhhhh!!! Lets just say the workout was a "At least you did something" workout.  I did my muscle work and was only able to do 20 minitues of cardio. :(  It was getting late and I needed to try to attempt to get up again in the morning to rock out cardio.  YEAH RIGHT!!!! Never happened.  I'll be able to fit the muscle work during lunch but will have to do cardio tonight. :(


Muscle work and Cardio progress:

I'm still only able to do 20 reps of the leg work. I've had to rest in between reps.  I try to get in 2 sets of 10 reps of each workout. I know its supposed to be 40 but my butt and hips where in so much pain.  I have to wiggle the butt pain out after each set.  I've gotten a few stares like I was crazy when I do this but it hurts like hell.   However, I've been able to increase the reps for my arms and abs.
My dance cardio needs some work.  I know she said to step touch if your a moderate beginner but somehow I feel like I'm not getting a workout.  Plus its hard to step touch some of those moves without jumping.  I've done TAM's mat DVD and dance cardio back in 09 and hurt my left knee. So after reading her book I realized I must have been doing too much too soon especially with all this weight.  I've decided to jump periodically and then once I feel like my heart is about to bust out my chest I step touch.

The menu

I have to be honest with you guys. I'm not following the menu to the T.  I don't like wasting food so I've been repeating some of the menu's for the next day.  I'm making sure to stick with the meat and veggies within the menu and avoiding, salt, sugar and starches.  I've been feeling light headed and hungry in the mornings.  So I've been adding fresh 16oz juice in the morning from whole foods.  I know that is not part of her menu but I try my best to make sure to stick to the fruit she listed on her menu and that's the only fruit I'll have for the day.    I hope this doesn't affect my results. I'm still eating clean right?????

Anyhow,  that is it for now.  I'll be posting pictures of my before pics soon.  I'm still trying to muster up enough courage to do it.  So bare with me. I have 6 followers now. Woohooot!!!!! I'm so excited about that.  I want to thank each and every one of you guys for supporting me. If your blogging as well please send me your link so I can follow you if I'm not already.  So until next time..... Day 4 bring it on!!!!!!!!!!
