Another Failure on My Part, Lets try again.

I started my exercise again, but I just couldn't get into it, I've been staying up too late reading.

But I'm going to try again starting on Monday, and I'm making a new list this time, with a bit more for me to do.

The original list
20 squats
20 calf raises
10 push ups
10 hips lifts
10 leg lifts per side
10 inner leg lifts per side
10 sit ups
20 reverse crunches
:20 wall sit
20 butt crunches
5 lunges per side
5 burpees

What I liked about this list:
How many different things are on it.
Specific exercises I wouldn't do unless they were on a list for me to follow

What I didn't like about this list:
The number of things. Most of them felt too short, or too easy.
The order had me getting up and down.

I'm going to fix the list so I can enjoy it more. Sadly I don't know a good number for any of the things, so I'm just going to do them until I can't anymore, and I'll write that number down, and when I post Monday, I'll update my list, and I'm going to add to it every day.

So here's the new list. 
As many as I can do Squats (different kind every day, see list below)
As many as I can do Lunges per side
As many as I can do Calf Raises
As long as I can do Wall sit
As many as I can do Butt crunches
As many as I can do Hip lifts
As many as I can do Sit ups
As many as I can do Reverse crunches
As many as I can do Leg lifts per side
As many as I can do Inner leg lifts per side
As many as I can do Push ups
As many as I can do Burpees

I like this one a lot more already by looking at it, I don't have to worry that the numbers are too high or too low, I don't have to get up and down a lot, until I do the burpees, but those are burpees. Nothing is set in stone, besides for what exercises I'm doing.

I'll post my numbers on Monday. If you want to, you can post your numbers in the comments.

As for my squats, I plan on doing a different kind of squat every day. So here are what I'm doing.
Monday  =  Plie(sumo) Squats
Tuesday  =  Pistol Squats
Wednesday  =  Monkey Squats
Thursday  =  Jump Squats
Friday  =  Split Squats
Saturday  =  Prisoner Squats
Sunday  =  Squats

Here are my references for the different kinds of squats on this list Squat Variations
You can do whichever ones you want to do. I'd like to know which are your favorite kinds of squats??

A little Space Cased

So I'm a little, okay maybe a lot late with posting this.

I did my exercise today, and didn't change anything from yesterdays. I barely felt anything sadly, so I'm positive I have to up the numbers pretty soon.

I did get a little winded with the burpees, but those are burpees.

Other then that, I didn't really do much, I made plans for future meals, and future crafts. Nothing else really.

Just trying to make my life nicer all together.

I FINALLY did an exercise

Procrastination is a skill I was gifted with, and I've spent my whole life honing it, and making it better all the time. It's always come through when I needed it most, but when I want to do something, but my body wants to procrastinate it, it doesn't exactly work.

But I finally got myself to do something, and to be exact, I did this just a few minutes ago
20 squats
20 calf raises10 push ups10 hips lifts10 leg lifts per side10 inner leg lifts per side10 sit ups20 reverse crunches:20 wall sit20 butt crunches5 lunges per side5 burpees


Minus having a horrible headache, and thinking I might need to up some of the numbers to feel a burn, my workout today was a great start, it lasted the first half of Jake and the Neverland Pirates, which distracted the little one the entire time, making exercising a lot easier.

Well I'm off to do things now.
And hopefully remember to exercise everyday. This is going to be my list for this week, next week I'll change the numbers some, and I might add an exercise or 2 as I progress.

Happy Easter!!

I don't have anything planned for today, besides for hiding out in my room, and Skyping family across the country.

This is the first year I haven't been with my family for Easter.
Also the first year I've gone without my moms baking for a holiday.

But I'm going to make due with what I have.

But Happy Easter and Summer Solstice to everyone who sees this.

Lost Motivation. Trying again soon.

I'm having to many things come up, and I can't find the time at the moment to do my exercises.

Okay that's a lie, I can't find the motivation, everyone I've talked to tells me I'm perfect the way I am, I don't need to exercise, not to worry about it, it's a lot of wasted energy, and all of that stuff.

I really want to exercise, but when everyone's telling you not to do something, it makes it difficult to do that thing. I'm hoping pretty soon I can start, maybe with 30 squats, 5 push ups, 5 sit ups, and something else every day. for a week or two. Or at least until I have a set time for my workouts.

I'm going to start this Monday, after Easter, and set my alarm for everyday at 2pm, and I'll start my work out then.

My other problem, is I live with other people, and I'm self conscious, I think I'm just going to do my work outs whether anyone sees me or not. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it, I still have problems doing them in front of my boyfriend, and that was only leg lifts.

I hope I can do that.
I'll also post a list of the work out I choose to do everyday until I get a routine set.

I'm also going to put burpees on my list of exercises, sadly I know I won't like them, but they're a great work out.

Here's a quick idea of what I want to do.

20 squats
20 calf raises
10 push ups
10 hips lifts
10 leg lifts per side
10 inner leg lifts per side
10 sit ups
20 reverse crunches
:20 wall sit
20 butt crunches
5 lunges per side
5 burpees

I don't want my exercise to be light, I want as much of an effect as I can get in as short of a time period as possible.

I might change this up in the next 3 days, but until then, I'm sticking with this list.

I'M A FAILURE AT THIS....

Well actually not really, I'm just not in a routine yet, and my child doesn't want to help that, he sleeps when ever he wants, even though I try to lay him down for a nap around the same time every day.

But tomorrow I'm going to make up for missing today's.
Again

Today I was supposed to do
30 fake jump shoot basketballs
20 squats
15 push ups
20 calf raises
20 inner thigh lifts per leg
30 fake jump shoot basketballs
40 butt kicks
20 outer leg lifts per leg
20 wall push ups
50 bicycle

The bonus was to pretend to shovel snow 50 times on each side.

So I'm doing that tomorrow, along with
100 jumping jacks
50 crunches
15 tricep dips
20 lunges per leg
20 jump squats
50 fake jump shoot basketballs
40 butt kicks
40 vertical leg crunches
15 push ups
1 minute plank

The bonus for tomorrow is touch the floor, jump up and reach towards the sky 50 times


I also know it's going to be difficult for me tomorrow, since I'm going shopping tomorrow, and that means I won't be in the house, so I'll have less time to make myself do my work outs.

Having Just Finished my Workout...

I felt the urge to complain.

About everything.

Just a quick example:
On Tuesday, I had to do
I minute run in place (i suck at running in place, I just decided to go back and forth between my computer and my timer, (Only like 3 steps))
15 sits up (Too easy, I could do those any time.)
10 push ups (I have no arm strength, so I had to do the cheat push ups, so I can build up strength)
20 calf raises (Too easy, seriously.)
1 minute super man (I got tired around 45 seconds in, before that I was just bored.)
1 minute run in place (See first one)
40 butt crunches (Seriously, why is this an exercise, I do this when I can't sleep and I'm hypersensitive to everything in the dark. (Or when my butt muscles spasm))
15 tricep dips (I'm short, and all of the chairs in my house are tall, so I had to do this on the floor, very difficult, plus no arm strength, even harder)
20 leg lifts per leg (Easy, I used to do this every day besides for Fridays in my HS gym class)
20 side lunges per leg (I hate regular lunges. I hate side lunges even more.)

30 second high knees (I don't mind high knees I guess, I just misstepped a few times and almost landed on my face)
20 side crunches per side (No. Just all of the no. I hate this with a burning passion that makes hell look cold)
10 wide push ups (I did these with cheat push ups, but still hated those)
20 pigeon toed calf raises (Too easy, again)
1 minute plank (Planks are dumb, they're for pirates)
30 second high knees (See first one)
40 butt crunches (See previous complaint about butt crunches)
20 lunge split jumps (I hate lunges, and seriously, what the hell is with these)
20 crunches (reverse?) (I did do reverse crunches, and I was so tired by the time I was doing these it wasn't even funny)
20 jump squats (Another what the hell is with these, people are insane for coming up with these things)

I'm so upset with this workout, I barely felt anything, but I know it did stuff. Well now I have to go do dishes.
