Coasting

OK, I've been coasting this week on my exercise and counting calories.

I haven't eat bad things but I haven't been counting or paying much mind to portions.

It's not anyone needs to tell me because the scale has told me enough!

Time to stop coasting and get on with the show!

My day off ....

Thursday is my usual day off from exercise

and goodness my body needs a break.

This week I decided that I was going to push my

exercise to the point that I did in the beginning of the Slim Down.

Now that I'm more fit the push is harder and my body

(my legs specifically)

can feel it.

I need this day!

new exercise

Yesterday I asked 'my trainer' Michelle to show me a good setup.

She is not a fan of the traditional crunch

so she showed me her favorite abdominal exercise.

you get on the exercise ball like this

well, maybe with the ball alittle higher on your legs

and then you pull your knees up to your belly.

Rolling the ball up.

Yes, she made it look so easy. I didn't make it look so easy.

AND I can tell you that there is NOT a graceful, ladylike way to get off the ball!
