My PiYo Journey - Week 2

Here it is, already half way through my first month of PiYo.  Let me tell you, it has been awesome!  At first, I was thinking I wasn't getting enough of a workout because I am so used to the active workouts that include running and bounding and heavy weights.  It is such a nice change of pace to not have to do all of that and still feel yourself getting stronger and being sweaty and shaky during the workouts.  This past week I sort of lost focus with my food.  There were a few more treats and cheats than I had anticipated.  But, since getting in the habit of eating according to a menu, I have

stuck to the plan much better than if I was just "winging" it.  When I do loose focus, I can always turn to the eating plan and nutrition guide.  In fact, sometimes I put it in my purse so I can study it if I find myself waiting and needing something to read.  It is important for me to have a plan and know what I need to have in the house, even if I don't have a list or my menu in front of me.  

My workout schedule for the past week looked like this:

 - Monday - Sweat
 - Tuesday - Define: Lower Body
 - Wednesday - Core
 - Thursday - Define: Upper Body
 - Friday - Rest
 - Saturday - Sweat
 - Sunday - Core
Ideally, I like to stick to the schedule because it makes my life easier.  I don't have to think, I just have to look at my calendar.  This week I tweaked it a little to fit my crazy life a little better.  So, instead of resting of Friday, I rested on Thursday.  Then, I was really feeling like I needed to lower body work, so I tried the Buns workout on Saturday.  I just couldn't wait until week 3 to see what it was like!  Whoa Baby, it is a good one!!!  I was seriously regretting the decision to have a two-story house after this one!

In conclusion, week 2 was great.  I love how short the workouts are and how much stronger I feel afterwards.  I am able to hold plank and do real tricep push-ups and even hold side plank like I am supposed to.  I don't have to modify any of the moves anymore and can even do the advanced version on a few of them.  So exciting!
