Hardcore workout day

Before getting to yesterday's workout, I just wanted to say that my baby's rash is almost gone! I'm so happy about that. It was hurting my heart to look at it because it looked *so* bad. My poor child.

Well, yesterday's workout kicked my butt. I'm super sore today. First thing in the morning I went to the Commissary and bought a bunch of healthy, yummy food (I only spent $110 including $11 for diapers and $13 for bulk toilet paper, so I'm pretty stoked about that). Then I got home, put my baby down for a nap and got to business. First, I did the Turbofire Core 20 workout. As I was doing it, I was thinking to myself, "wow, this is kind of a lame core workout." Well, I definitely felt it later on yesterday and I can really feel it today too, so I'm eating my words on that one.
Anyway, after Core 20, I logged onto http://www.bodyrock.tv/. Since I am a little ahead timewise over here in Japan, there was no new workout of the day, so I found this one that I hadn't done yet and looked pretty good http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/07/06/cardio-legs-core-workout/. Definitely a good workout for the legs. Instead of setting my interval timer to 36 reps, I only did 15 because I was trying to get everything in before my baby woke up. So, that was about a 10 minute workout for me.
After that, I went back to Turbofire and did Stretch 40. Let me tell you, that was intense. I didn't realize how not flexible I have let myself become. I loved it. I can't wait to do it again. I definitely need to work on my flexibility.
After that I showered, my baby woke up, we ate lunch (salad with romaine lettuce and grape tomatoes, couscous and kidney beans. Very yummy). We went about our day like normal. I eventually logged back onto http://www.bodyrock.tv/ and found this workout - http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/07/12/marine-corps-workout-beating-our-personal-bests/. I swear I broke out a sweat and burned a few calories just thinking about doing this workout. Well, I posted the link on my Facebook page a few minutes later, one of my friends replies "Wow, you actually do that?!?" No, I wasn't planning on it honestly, it looked super hard, but after she wrote that, I wanted to be able to reply that I had. So, since it's pointless to lie about things like that, I put on some workout clothes and did it. Yes, I had to modify it because I'm not nearly hardcore enough yet to do the moves how Zuzanna does them, but it was still a killer workout. And I was proud to reply, "Yes, I did do a modified version of that today."
Needless to say, I am sore as hell today. I'm still going to do my Turbofire workout though. Today is day 11 of Turbofire and I'll be doing HIIT 15/Sculpt 30. Can't wait.
