Hip Hop Abs 6 Day Slim Down - Day 3

 Woke up again feeling great! I just love how full of energy I feel when I'm on track with my nutrition and daily workouts. It's not always the easiest to get up and bounce out of bed but I definitely feel that WE set the stage for how our own day goes.We can choose to be groggy, grumpy and blah or we can wake up with a smile, positive thoughts and conquer the day!! I choose #2!

So, again I went out the the garage first thing this morning to do my weigh in and I was a little bit surprised. I am actually UP in my weight. Now I know that many of you (in the past myself included) would have FREAKED out, thrown in the towel and said what the HECK!! I'm GAINING weight??? But I am confident that if I continue to follow the program the way it is designed that it WILL work...In fact...I normally don't even weigh myself EVERY day for this exact reason! Have you ever started a program and ended up gaining weight? Maybe I had too much salt yesterday, maybe not enough water. Who knows, but just keep swimming!! I do definitely notice less bloat and a flatter stomach, yay!!

Today's workout is Fat Burning Cardio again. Like day one, I was definitely getting a good ab workout and really noticed I was holding my abs in a lot more this time on my own, without Shaun T's reminders.
