100 Workout, Readers

Just got done feeding the dogs and I wanted to talk alittle about working out. 
I will admit I do not work out nearly as much as I use to but I know I am not in that bad of shape. I still feel healthy and I can still run/walk long distances without killing myself but I know I need to kick my ass back into better shape. Seriously!
I ran across this work out that I use to do when I was Olympic lifting (weightlifting) a few years ago. I had totally forgot about it until I saw it a few days ago and I wanted to smack myself for not remembering it sooner. Like, directly after I had AJ, after my surgery, or maybe even when I started feeling slumpish a few months ago. 
It is called the 100 Workout. And this is how it goes:
100 Jumping Jacks
90 Crunches
80 Squats
70 Leg Lifts 
60 Jumping Jacks
50 Crunches
40 Squats
30 Leg Lifts
20 Jumping Jacks
Run for 10 mins as a cool down

Pretty bad ass! Seriously, try it and see if you arnt feeling the burn with in the first 20 out of 100 jumping jacks.
I have convinced myself that I am going to start doing this awesome, ass kicking work out again because I remember when my two Olympic coaches first enlightened me on this I dropped like 15 pounds in the first three weeks. Man, I hated them for the work out on the first day! Love them now though!! 
 I varied it slightly for someone that is out of shape or simply hasnt worked out in a few days or weeks. 

On Day 1, 3, and 5 you start with:
20 Jumping Jacks
30 Leg Lifts
40 Squats
50 Crunches
60 Jumping Jacks
Run for 10 Mins as Always 

On days 6, 8, and 10 do:
60 Jumping Jacks
70 Leg Lifts
80 Squats
90 Crunches
100 Jumping Jacks
Run For 10 Mins as always

On Days 2, 4, 7, and 11 Rest as to not over work out your muscles and fatigue yourself. 

On Day 12 do Entire (or Attempt to do entire) 100 Workout Starting with 100 Jumping Jacks and working down the list. 

Vary the workouts from then on out to keep your muscles confused. Gently add in your other workout routines to your liking. I know this worked vary well for me before and I am pretty damn sure that it is not only going to kick my ass this go around but it is going to seriously help me to get back to healthy and help me drop the 45 pounds that I have set for myself to lose and keep off this year. 

Now lets discuss my awesome readers. I know not all of you have subscribed and its okay. I know you are reading and I hope in some way I am helping you, whether it is to give you some words of hope, a good laugh, or to get a little pissed off. I know I cant possibly always rub everyone the right way and to be completely honest, I am not even going to try to. 
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for reading my blog and keeping it going. I know this is my vent and in some weird way it is actually comforting to know that it is reaching so many out there. I feel liberated and empowered. Comment below if you so choose to, leave me a link to your blog if you have one, and have an awesome night! 
I know that my pillow is calling my name and I am getting more than three fucking hours of sleep tonight! No promises that my munchkin wont wake me up really fucking early in the morning but I'll take what I can get. =)
