Well, mark this in your calendar folks, I have actually done core work more than once in a single month! After last weeks workout I was sore. I mean damn. So I laid off doing anything with my abs and tried to stick with my booty and my upper legs/hips. Monday night I wanted to go for a run but it was raining and I just didn't feel like battling the down pour. So I decided that round 2 of core work would commence.
To make the time go by faster I decided I would work out while watching E! News; Its just the kind of mindless entertainment to keep my mind off the fact that I hate working on my core. Plus, sometimes they give you info on how certain celebs get in shape.
Mondays celebrity body: Bradly Cooper from A-Team. Specifically, his abs. So, even though I had already held the plank, I was inspired to revisit this position. Thanks E! After 30 minutes of none stop workouts I was sweating. Thumbs up!
Yesterday, I planned on running but I developed a horrible sinus headache. I mean, it was bad. Not one to let my allergies to win, I decided I would work on my booty, upper legs and hips. After a few minutes of watching E! News, they conveniently started to talk about how to get a nice butt like JLo or Kim Kardashian - how nice of them! Not that I necessarily strive to have the same things as celebrities, but it at least gives me new ideas for work out routines :)After 10 minutes of working out, I noticed my headache was not as bad so I strapped on my tennis shoes and headed out for an easy 10 minute run. Well, when I say easy, I mean I pushed myself. My upper legs were so sore from the workouts I had been doing but I ignored their whining and pushed myself to run for 10 minutes straight. I went a total of 1.17 miles which equaled out to an 8:32 pace. High five! Its not always easy for me to hit that speed and I can't go very long, but training for Marine Core should start at the end of this month so for now I am trying to still have fun with my speed :)
My sisters Engagement party was a huge success! We had a lot of fun and we had a good crowd! Thanks to everyone who could make it.

PS - those cupcakes look delicious!
Great job on both the run and the core work!!!
And the party sounds like it was fun. I so wish I could have been there. Boo for a million states in between me and you girls! lol
Nice job Jocelyn. I notice that when I have a headache if I can force myself out the door to run, my headache always goes away. I guess something is to be said about endorphins.
Great job pushing through and getting your workout in.
You're doing so good! I love the watching E! New idea. It's funny how much mind games are needed to get you through a work out. I'm definitely stealing that one!
I'm an E! lover too, guilty!
However, I think I am more guilty of loving cupcakes. Yum! Watched a new cupcake show last night on food network. I don't recommend it - it makes you very hungry! ;)
YAY for treadmill runs! I LOVE THEM!!
