Today was the Slim workout. I’m amazed that although I’m on week 4, I am not bored and still getting a great workout and calorie burn!! My HRM said I burned 249 calories in 40 minutes.
Tuesday January 28:
Today was Power workout. I LOVE this workout!! I always feel so strong and empowered after this workout!! My HRM said I burned 327 calories in 51 minutes.
Wednesday January 29:
Today was Slim again. Was feeling a little tired so I slept in until 6am instead of getting up at 5am. Was still able to get both my workouts in because it ended up being a stay at home snow day! 🙂 My HRM said I burned 249 calories in 39 minutes.
Thursday January 30:
Rest day for Baladea
Friday January 31:
Another Power workout day! I tried to go slow and deeper with the moves using the resistance band. Hoping to do some videos this weekend to show some of my favorite moves.

Today was suppose to be Fusion workout. Its a new workout that I’ve never done before so I was really looking forward to it.
Unfortunately, I was feeling some discomfort Friday afternoon in my middle far left of my back. I tried to stretch and then did foam rolling and my hard massage ball in that area in hopes of relieving the tightness and discomfort I felt. apparently that aggravated the area more and made it swell, because I woke up in the middle of the night in severe pain. I had to lay on an ice pack the rest of the night. I ran some errands with the kids in the morning, but I’ve been having to ice alot and take alot of tylenol and advil. 🙁 I’ve never had an exercise injury before except for knee pain.
Sunday February 2:
I’m still in alot of pain with my back. I haven’t slept well in 2 days and I’m worried about sitting in my office chair at work tomorrow. Not sure what to do about starting week 5 of my exercise programs…
Should I take the whole week off or a couple days?

I’m checking out the program, it sounds really interesting. If the pain is still so bad that you’re concerned about sitting in a chair, I’d recommend you not only take some time off, but that you see your doctor. Pain that severe is not something you should wait out.
