Challenge: Day Two (PromWorkoutCountdown)

Day Two Compliments:
1. You have a huge heart.
2. You always push yourself to make a difference.
3. As Abelita used to say, you have pretty hands (straight, narrow fingers, soft palms)...weird.
4. You have the ability to make people smile.
5. You are beautiful because God made you.

So I am EXTREMELY excited for tomorrow. My darling Anna Marie and I are going up to Denver to go prom dress shopping...which means, the prom countdown has officially begun. Prom is April 29th, today is March 21st. 39 days until Prom.

I started my challenge yesterday and did fairly well, keeping the caloric intake at a healthy level and making sure I had lots of water, fruits and veggies. This morning, I feel great. Maybe eating healthy really does help??

Also, I found an awesome Prom workout that's not crazy but seems to be a good start in the right direction. It's a 21-day program, but I'm sure I'll keep it up past that. So here we go:

Days 1, 2, 7, 12, 17, 18 and 20 (one minute break between exercises)
-Jumping jacks for two minutes.
-Running (in place or sprints) for five minutes.
-Calf raises for two minutes.
-Jumps (jump as high as you can and land on the balls of your feet so your heels don't touch the ground) for three minutes, one minute break.
-Pushups (girl-style) for two minutes.
-Butt kicks for two minutes.
-Sit ups for three minutes.

Days 3, 4, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 19 (30 second break between exercises)
-Shadowbox for three minutes.
-Jumps for three minutes.
-Pushups for one minute.
-Low squats for two minutes.
-300 jumping jacks.
-Knee-highs for three minutes.

Days 5, 6, 10, 11, 13, 16 and 21 (15 second break between exercises)
-500 Jumping jacks.
-100 pushups.
-100 squats.
-Calf raises for one minute.

Along with this, keep a healthy diet and get 30 minutes of cardio daily.

....here we go! Wish me luck...
