Day 3 of the calorie burning challenge...

I am really having fun with this, I think most people will think I'm completely over doing it but I'm excited to finally see if I see some results, I'm adding p90x weights into my workouts so that's where I'm hoping I finally see some changes!

I'm 2500 calories into my goal this week and my goal is only 3500, yay me! HA! Today, I went to the gym for an hour and 15 minute HOT ashtanga yoga. I love this class! I never thought of myself as a yogi but I do really love it, I love when it's hot so you get a good sweat going and the poses are very challenging. I'm also seeing some definite improvement in my flexibility!

Then, I went to do 20 minutes on the stairclimber. I would like to do the bop to the top this Saturday morning which is (I think) 37 flights of stairs. I knew that I would have to do about double that on a stairclimber since it assists in you climbing the stairs so I got thru about 68 floors in 20 minutes. That was 700 calories between those two things.

I came home, I had 2 hard boiled eggs on the way to the gym this morning and scary enough, I have lost another hard boiled egg I had in a bag, I have completely cleaned out my purse and my car looking for it so I'm hoping it just fell out of the car! My car doesn't smell like egg but I'm going to keep checking for it! AGH! Then, I ate a banana on my way home and a bag of veggie chips because I was starving. (Oh and last night, we had leftover gumbo over rice, a piece of garlic bread and I had a chai tea) As soon as I finish posting this, I'm going to go pig out on a big turkey sandwich!

So, once I got home, I decided to do the shoulders and triceps workout from p90x. I don't have a pull up bar yet so I couldn't do the other one that I had. Here is what this workout consisted of (I did all weights with 10 lb weights unless otherwise noted)...
warm-up
20 alternating shoulder press
20 bicep curls
17 tricep kickbacks
repeat
20 deep swimmers press
20 sublination curls
20 chair tricep dips
repeat
17 upright rows
15 static arm curls
20 flip-grip tri's (with 5 lb weights)
repeat
16 seated 2 angle shoulder flys
15 (12 the 2nd time) crouching cohen curls... this one was pretty hard with a 10 lb weight and leaning against a wall
15 lying down tri's (basically skull crushers)
repeat
20 straight arm shoulder fly's (5 lb weights)
20 congdon curl (only 17 the 2nd time)... I already don't remember what this is, ha ha
10 side tri fly's on the floor... This was painful and I said I wasn't even going to do it the 2nd time but I did. You lay on the floor on your right side, hold your right arm up like you're crossing your heart then do a push up on the floor from your left hand... NOT easy!

So what I said above was challenging, was challenging, I need heavier weights to push myself harder with the other one's, doing 10 lb weights was hard and we'll see how sore I am but I feel I could have pushed myself harder. I still burned 300 calories in a hour of doing that which is how I got to 2500 calories.
500 Sunday
1000 Monday
1000 Tuesday

I still have the p90x ab ripper which you are supposed to do in conjunction with the weight days and hopefully I have the energy to do that, it's only 15 minutes. Tomorrow will probably be a spinning class and then I will do piyo and on Thursday, I will probably try to do p90x weights again. If you have any questions about the workout above because you'd like to do it, feel free to leave me a comment and I'll get you an answer!
