This morning’s cardio was 10 min on the elliptical (I started to type treadmill, lol). The hubby usually uses the elliptical, but he was sleeping in a bit (it was a late night with the vacation planning) so to mix things up I decided I would do the elliptical, then 20 min workout – Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred. I have to admit I do like her workouts, at least what I have tried. I do not watch The Biggest Loser, nor do I plan to ever watch it – I just don’t agree with so many things about that show. But the 20 min workout was just right this morning – got my heart pumping and muscles going. Not as many calories burned as my usual run, but still pretty good I think.

I have been sipping on some Kefir - it is great for the digestive tract, and a fun change from yogurt. Here is a great tip: the sweetened bottles of kefir can be rather high in sugar, but the plain can taste really sharp. So, buy a bottle of each and mix half and half – not too sweet, not to tart!

Got in a pretty good workout at lunch: 7 min cardio warm –up followed with squat presses, shoulder work, pull-ups (2 sets of 3), dead lifts, bent-over rows, bicep curls, tricep pushdowns. Then did yoga 10 min “For Buns” – loved it. Glad I warmed up a bit, she gets right into the flow and there are some challenging poses. Betting I will feel it tomorrow.
