So I am about half way through week 4 with Kayla Istines and her workouts. It has not gotten any easier. In fact even when I am repeating weeks, it is STILL hard. Good news is that it is working. Bad news is that I dread it. SOMETIMES. Some days, I really enjoy it. Other days it is like pulling teeth to muscle through those 28 minutes. After the first 7 I am sweating and panting……and not in a sexy way.
Cons- I have committed to a 12 week plan and I just wish I was seeing faster results. Blame it on me being an American who wants, expects and is used to instant gratification. I wish I was noticing things more with my body. I wish my stomach was a little bit more toned then it was 4 weeks ago. Yes, I am sure it is with all the sit ups and ab work I am doing, but I am not SEEING it. Also, and I am not sure why, I am having a hard time making time when working out at home. I can always think of something else to do and put off the workout. At the gym, you are there to workout. Nothing else. At home I have my kids, my dogs, my husband, my school work, my High life, my cheese dip…….
Pros- Her schedule requires two days of cardio a week. I was getting very sick of the treadmill so I started taking some classes at the YMCA. I AM IN LOVE. I am with other people, doing these shitty workouts together. Being yelled at to do it and listening to dance music as it is happening. I used to take classes all the time and since I started up Kayla, I am back. It has be awesome. I actually squeezed in a third on last week…just for fun. WHAT THE FUCK, right??!!!!!
So overall, it is working. My before’s and after’s look no different. But I do feel different and I know that is just as important. I feel stronger, fit and overall healthier. And I am eating better and not by choice, but because after these workouts, I don’t want to blow it. (Last Friday we went for Mexican and I held back a bit on the cheese dip…BY CHOICE…who am I??!!!) Hopefully by 6 weeks my bod will start to look better and I can show you guys some pictures. Until then, I will keep moving along. Fingers crossed my MILF status is happening soon!!!!!
