Core X

I feel good about my exercising today, but the eating hasn't been too hot. Had lunch with a friend and ate Taco Bell. Then had pizza for dinner. Definitely fell off Michi's Ladder today!!! And for breakfast??? Nothing but coffee!!! Not a good diet day for sure. I also had Mountain Dew, too. It tasted soooo good... but I know that sugar was not what my body needed. :-P

Okay, so I went for a one-hr walk with the dog today after work (and the Taco Bell lunch)- because it was a GORGEOUS low-70's day today!!! WONDERFUL weather for a change! And to think, just one week ago, we were having SNOW on Wednesday. I plan to get outside and do something again tomorrow and Friday because they're expecting some more warm days ahead. It's giving me Spring fever for sure!

And then this evening... Core X. And here are the numbers:
Stacked foot pushups: 20; 10 each way
Leaning crescent lunges: done, with 0 wts.
Squat run: done, with 0 wts.
Sphinx pushups: 23, on knees (tried one on my toes near the end- there ain't no way yet- or at least not at the END)
Low lateral skaters: still not good with form- but done; with toe taps on some
Lunge & reach: done, 8 lb weights
Prison cell pushups: 8, no middle pushup
Side hip raise: 23/25
Squat X-press: 30, 5 lb weights
Plank/Chaturanga run: did plank run, with some resting here and there- and a child's pose stretch on the shoulders (these make my shoulders burn!)
Lunge-kickback-curl-press: done, 5 lb weights
Reach High & under pushups: 7 (the pushup parts are hard at this stage of the game!)
Towel hops: hopped 20 seconds (too much sloshing of tummy water!!!), then just did one-legged step-hops for the rest of the time, to save the tummy
Dreya roll: 14 (had to go FAST to get that many in)
Plank-chaturanga iso: did plank parts on toes, tried 2 chaturanga sets on toes for 4 seconds each, then flopped onto the floor before coming back up for the plank iso sets... and skipped the last chaturanga iso completely
Table dip leg raise: 34 total, 17 each side

Improving on some, maintaining on others... decent workout, though I thought I might see more improvement on some of them by now. I think that if I grabbed the remote and paused to max out some, I could 'up the numbers' but then I'm sure the next move will be lower! I do see improvement in many of the moves now- as far as being able to COMPLETE the whole set, even if I haven't upped the weight. So I guess I shouldn't knock THAT, because in the beginning, I couldn't finish many of the sets for the duration of the time.
