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 difficult at times...but I still feel great after...but my yoga mat is for sure falling apart...I need a much better mat...ugh...Anyway...doing Hardcore on the Floor...really works more of your back muscles and planks...which I actually really love but since my back has gotten worse...its hard to hold it for so long or at all at times. I think had I completed only Hardcore on the Floor I would have been fine but I had to modify and stop at times all together...I really like the workout...but I think if I had done it alone I wouldnt have had the pain. bummer...but still even though I had to modify and stop at times...I still burned a bit more than doing core alone. Thats enjoyable too.


I also had to re-evaluate my goals for Piyo and check that out...I have cut beer and I have logged my workouts, drank water...I need to improve..working on it. I have lost 9lbs., pre-made meals, and improved flexibility. I have tried to do the running but my back hurts too much and school got busy but I have been adding other workouts to make up for that.I have not gotten certified...that will come later...annnnnnnnd working out is best right after lunch. Overall, not bad.


I of course had my shakeology after and enjoyed it...my PB2 I bought in abundance from groupon better hurry and get here...I am out. 

Later I decided to make turkey burgers. (kroger brand are best because 36g compared to 16g of Jenny-O) They are actually bigger too.. I cut up one zucchini and one squash, some onions and brussel sprouts with coconut oil in a skillet and nom nom....oooo. I also cooked the turkey burgers in some of the Chinese oil for heat...it ended up really good. I then put some mixed cabbage in the skillet to add to the burgers along with a little bit of avocado. It ended up amazing and I really think I'll definitely do this again...OMG right. haha


Again, back to reading after that...I have had a ton of water today and I have been productive. I can not stress how important having extra vitamins can be. Funny thing is, I don't ever recall having this problem except when over working out...but man, I guess I still need more!!! On another note...I decided to get my team on board to re-improve activity and do this 30 Day Challenge..so far its great!


Well, until tomorrow...Goodnight all!

Total Bomb! Get Back In Gear!

Well, I ended up going on my trip for my residency and though I posted one day I did not post the rest. I did however workout one day in that trip because I was so busy with school work after the school day that time to workout was just not there. When I got back, I tried to get back into piyo and found that the week off from doing it killed me. I felt weak again and found myself discouraged. I had lost my motivation...and so did Marc. He was eating bad the entire time I was gone and I have to admit...there was dessert there that I ate...and I NEVER eat sweets...but I did. I paid for the meals there and at $1200 for a week...I was gonna get my monies worth. I found this interesting the other day... So, this is what has been going on. I got back....completed piyo...even though I did NOT feel good about it and felt I screwed that up....then decided to do ChaLEAN Extreme with Piyo...I loved it but I needed more cardio after piyo was done...so CLX and Insanity...okay good

Piyo Challenge - Day 40

Woke up super early. I was freezing. But got going after some coffee. Today we had opening session and went to our groups.  Practiced counseling skills in groups of three and talked about it in class.  The class was only 18 people but a few were supposed to be in other classes so it's really less. Breakfast was nice and simple.  Buffet or made to order omelet.  I opted for simple. Eggs,  turkey sausage and bacon with coffee.  Lunch was good.  Not sure if you saw photos.  We had two breaks to where they kept trying to give us junk. We already got snacks from them. After class we had professional development with everyone.  There's 3 main groups of people.  One for each time people have been here.  But we were all together in professional development.  Went over degrees,  licenses and what we will be talking about this week. Then you had the option to stay and talk about licensing research etc and talk to licensing faculty.  I stayed for that.  Then after got two free drinks and

Well now.  Today started off rocky because i got up layer than I wanted due to not getting into mnds till late. So,  got to the airport with 20 minutes left till boarding.  God I was irritated. Late as usual. Figures. Tried to check in online but it wouldn't let me.  Got there and the lady helping me said I'd have to get another flight. .. WHAT! ? She walked off and doesn't care about my problem.  Ok.  Thanks for helping.  I asked another lady and got sent to special services.  Sweet lady helped me... found another flight going out in an hour but I'd be going to New York first then North Carolina.. Ok fine no problem cause that change wouldn't cost me more money. Good.  Excellent!  Flight went well.  The older asian lady beside me was listening to Beethoven alms something else. Was really nice to hear whole I read my Go Pro book.... which I finished. Got into La Gauardia with an hour layover.  Bar right there as soon as you exit the plane. Ha.  So fancy.  Ipads eve
