Shred Level 1 is over

I have done shred level 1 randomly over the last few weeks since i started working out in the mornings again. I did it yesterday after taking Thursday and Friday off, so I did it Saturday and Sunday to make it 5 days out of 7. But i have done it so many times, i have memorized it, at least my version of it because today i slept in but 10 mins after i started working out, both kids woke up, so they took over the tv and i completed the work out on my own. Here is what the work out is, I have to modify it a bit because i cant do one legged squats and id ont have weights to do the arm work out, so i do one of the best leg pilate work outs i have ever seen instead and it hurts, so is got to be just as good.


warm ups- arm circles, waist circles, knee circles
cardio 1- jumping jacks, running in place (30 secs each, repeat)
weight training 1- push ups, squats (2 sets)
abs- regular sit ups, then lower ab lifts
cardio 2- jump rope, punching (30 secs each, repeat)
weight training 2- arms rows, squats (2 sets)
abs- knee on knee cross sit ups, switch
cardio 3- jumping jacks, running in place, jump rope, punching
weight training 3- she does arm work out, i do a leg work out (2 sets)
abs- bicycle sit ups
cool down

As for food, yesterday i washed and cut up 2 boxes of strawberries and between me, papa and tiago both boxes were gone just at lunch. It was crazy but so good. And for the 1st time in my life by myself i made french toast, i cant believe how easy it is and papa and tiago loved it. So thats 3 meals a week i can cook, pancakes, french toast and eggs and bacon, the kids eat cereal in the car most days as we rush out the door and have a good 20 min drive.
Came back to add i may crock pot pork roast for dinner, super yummy and my fruit for the day was a mango! Thais had a meltdown and didnt want to eat her lunch that papa cooked so we sent her to her room for a nap and after a few minutes she yelled, "ok papa, im ready to eat" and she came out and ate all of her lunch. So proud of her.
