Piyo Challenge - Day 8



Today was good. Couldn't sleep last night because of the change in beds I guess but the room is nice and not complete but in order. We were up really late and I still couldn't sleep no matter what I did. Finally passed out at 4am looking at TheBerry.com



I woke up at 8am...sleep or not I will not get off schedule again. So, I got up and started moving things around the house again. I did a lot but didn't unpack any more boxes. Instead I started doing homework and got some things done...then I watched Marc do P90x3 decelerate and I have to say I was high fiving him after the elevator pullups...wow...great job!!! He did really, really good and it was awesome! I can't do one pullup without my assist but hey, maybe one day! Had egg beaters with tomatoes and onions for breakfast...day started good...oh and I enjoyed chocolate covered coffee beans...mmm. btw, Marc had salsa...so I though I would give you a good photo of it before it's gone!


After he was done I did Piyo - Sweat... wow, I really do enjoy that workout but hate the burpees because they go on forever...I love burpees!!!!! But here whew...I was in pain. I have to say I seriously feel my obliques and definitely can tell in my abs what is going on with Piyo...no pain, but good pain...back pain is gone....I feel great. My legs are sore a little and I am loving this but want more. Anyway, after that I had lunch which was an amazing...Spinach salad with tomatoes, onions, alfalfa sprouts, ground turkey meat, avocado and lemon juice!! I'm totally having this lunch again.



Got Marc doing My Fitness Pal and he really is into it...the scanning of labels..it was silly!


After that, I went for a run!!! It was 1 pm and here in Texas it was 95 degrees outside!!! My hip flexors were really hurting after and kind of during....but I did 1.43 miles and got through it and back home to have my Greenberry Shakeology....which I haven't had in a while...so good with orange juice and pineapple.


Did some more homework and snuggled....then, dinner was pork tenderloin braised with zuccini, squash, onions, jalapenos, and garlic with beef broth...I usually use wine but I am uh...drinking it so I used the broth to see how it is. It was amazing...ended up bad ass and juicy. So happy about it.



Now, its time for bed and I'm dead tired...simple sweet...about it.

PiYo Challenge & My Story

Image
Here it is June 30th, 2014 and I am super excited for PiYo. I worked out at my first Super Saturday event two days ago and tried PiYo for the first time ever as I have been waiting to try this program with my Challenge Group and I have to say that I have never been so excited to start a program like I am now. This program is going to be a game changer. Seriously! I love to workout...it keeps me sane...it keeps me grounded...it keeps me feeling great in a world where sometimes I just don't feel right. I never understood that but when I don't workout I never feel right. This program is different. After 22 minutes of working out I didn't feel like I killed my body but I felt like I was alive! Continue to read to see if this program is a fit for you!  ------------------------------- Are you tired of feeling like you need a walker just to get from the bed to the bathroom?  Does it seem like you have been suffering from one fitness related injury after anoth

Woke up later than expected today...I think it was 11. I really have not adjusted to my bed again yet...Anyway, got up and made a Strawberry Shakeology .... Soon after I made lunch which was pancake mix and light syrup....made into waffles. It was great but I was full of carbs and absolutely toast after...No energy. I really hate eating carbs really..makes me so sleepy and I only had 1.5 pieces but anyway...ugh. So glad this is not regular. After watching Shooter and a few other things while creating my meal planning for next week. I had some yogurt too...mmm...I'm excited about next week for sure...and great thing is we have tons of food left from last week so we don't have to buy too much... curious? Here's my list. After that I got busy on Piyo - Core ...still not doing great enough on two moves and I have to work on form because they are in deed hard but I can only progress from here. I did better this time though and I am proud of that. Still needs

PiYo Challenge - Day 23

I have to say...those vitamins really did the trick! I felt so much better today. I got started on my homework after making my coffee and ate a new protein bar I am trying. It was odd but good...cinnamon bun with white chocolate..interesting but high protein.  Got a ton done today...which was awesome. I was in the zone and a far cry from where I was yesterday in my mind for sure! Thoroughly enjoyed my productive day... Lunch was two corn tortillas that I put in a skillet and cooked for a minute, some mashed avocado, 4oz of ground turkey, and a little of the (high calorie) chinese red pepper flake oil I LOVE!  After that I ended up getting two papers done today in school...I didn't have a snack and I still have much to do. But I feel better about it.  Later I got on to Piyo - Core. I had the option to do Hardcore on the Floor...so instead I did BOTH! I have to say that though piyo has incredibly helped my back in many ways....core can be a bit d
