One stormy day here in Nashville

Yet another day has gone by and yet another workout is in the books, I am just moving right along and can't wait to see my 9 week challenge come to an end. Yesterday my wife decided to start doing Active 2 as well. She is doing the three week challenge to see how that does for her, I very much enjoy that the two of us are able to support each other just by working out with the same game each day and talking about it later. This morning was pretty cardio focused I don't remember everything that I did but I do know that I did the skipping exercise 4 times, sprinted twice, did the mountain biking twice, and did some high knees and kick ups. As with every Monday I woke up to start the first workout of the week then went to my day job and finished up at my second job then started the whole thing again this morning (minus going to the second job). As I mentioned yesterday I did gain 2 lbs over the weekend by eating all the bad Easter stuff I really had no business eating but when I weighed myself this morning after two workouts this week and a long day yesterday I took 1.8 lbs back of so it was pretty much a wash. One thing I realized this morning was I kept thinking that Friday was the last day of the month and therefore the last workout that I was going to be able to do before my weigh in Saturday to see if I am able to get to that magic number of 190 before the end of the month but looking at the calendar I see that I was wrong and Saturday is the last day so I will be able to get one more workout and possibly some running or walking in and see come Sunday morning if I was able to get to 190. To help myself along I am still going to wake up a little early and do some light WiiFit yoga and some of the cardio exercises to stretch out and help prevent getting sore this week. I know I started by taking about the EA Active 2 workouts being pretty easy when compared to the NFL training camp that I just finished but I am slowly changing my mind. Like I said before I decided to do this 9 week challenge on medium because I did Active 1 and NFL training camp on easy and Active 2 is beginning to become more intense each day. I have not hit the 300 cals burned mark for a workout yet but I don't expect that it is too far away. Wish me luck on the 190 and I will continue to post how it is going.
