Just not motivated

Well, yesterday I had trouble with my work computer. Spent almost 7 hours trying to send in the data to my company. I was not motivated to do any working out yesterday because of this. Today I went to Dunkin Donuts and bought some hash browns and the Maple Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich. It was good, but of course after I was like 'what did I just do?' I did work out today. I did the Tonique and Yoga Meltdown. I couldn't finish the Tonique because my left hip really started hurting. I'm glad I did something. I wanted to lose some weight before Thanksgiving, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

I did get a new work computer today. I think this is the 5th one I've gotten this year. This job would be great if I got paid more money and if the equipment were better.

Workout Schedule For This Week 10/10-10/16

Ok, this will be my schedule. I will try to stick to it. I don't have to work as much this week as in previous weeks. Which means less money, but I get to work out more.
Sunday-Cardioke w/Billy Blanks Jr. It's On Demand and I want to try it.
Monday-Tonique & Shred It w/Weights
Tuesday-Tonique & Yoga Meltdown
Wedneday-Amy Bento All Pump Extreme
Thursday-I'll be working most of the day, but I will try to do as much walking as possible.
Friday-Cardio Inferno & Shred It w/Weights
Saturday-Off

This Week In Review

Well, I had a busy week. I worked every day except for Tuesday and today. The job I have I like, but I wish I could make more money. That's why I'm looking for work. I went for a job interview yesterday on the south side. I didn't want to drive so I took the CTA. It took me 90 minutes to get there. When I get there I learn that I would be the only case manager and would basically be on my own. I haven't done case management in 5 years. So, I have a feeling that they are going to want someone who has been doing this recently because the person will be on their own and would have to be a self-starter. Also, it's part-time and right now the person would be only working 10-12 hours a week. It took me 90 minutes to get there, but coming back it only took 60. I'm trying to decide if it's worth the travel time for such low hours. If the job was in my neighborhood it would be perfect. Still I'm a little apprehensive about being on my own.

As far as the diet and working out. I have been working out and doing a lot of walking. I really haven't stuck to the schedule because I rented an Amy Bento workout from Blockbuster. I only did a brief workout from it today. I plan to do a longer workout soon. I'm not a fan of Amy Bento's cuing, but I like the fact that she uses weights and bands in this workout. It's strength training heavy another reason I like it. And then Exercise TV has Jillian Michaels Shred-It With Weights. I've done that one twice already. So far I like it. I can't seem to get back into the swing of eating the raw and vegan meals. So, I have decided to just eat healthy and work out. Plus, I really can't afford to buy a bunch of fruit and veg then don't eat it, it goes bad and I end up throwing it away.

Will put up another workout schedule tomorrow. I want to work out with weights more to build more muscle and increase my metabolism.

Today's workout

Well, I did the Tonique and I have to say that I'm a little out of practice. At one point I was doing it 3-4 days a week. I haven't done it in about 4 weeks really and it kicked my butt. I then did Billy Blanks Cardio Inferno instead of the Yoga Meltdown because I wanted to review it for my other blog. It was challenging, but I was disappointed. I wish my heart rate went up as much as it did with the Tonique. I'm just glad I did my workouts today. I wasn't going to work out tomorrow, but I see On Demand there's Jillian Michaels Shred It With Weights. I gotta do it. I gotta try it. So, when I get home tomorrow that's what I'm doing.

Workout Schedule For This Week

Sunday-Billy Blanks Cardio Inferno
Monday-(off day) Working, but I plan to do a lot of walking.
Tuesday-Tonique and Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown
Wednesday-(off day) getting hair done, but I will try to do some walking.
Thursday-(off day) Working and a job interview
Friday-Tonique and Jari Love Get Ripped 1000
Saturday-Yoga Meltdown and Cardio Inferno

I really haven't had a week recently where I can actually do a workout DVD for more that 5 days a week as usual. I've been busy and this next week is hectic as well. I hope things start to calm down so I can get back to working out 5-6 days a week for a couple of hours or more. This is a good way to ease myself back into the routine. On my off days I will try to walk as much as possible.
