PiYo Challenge - Day 10


Such an uneventful day...I woke up late. Guess it had to do with my back hurting last night and my taking my medicine is off a bit. So, as soon as I got up I started some coffee and has an apple & pecan Kind Bar. Nom Nom.... I then heard the door bell...PACKAGE!!! BEACHBODY!!! Before I picked up my package I ran to the mail man cause I had something mail a letter...that was about four houses down...EXERCISE! I was awake! Then Shadow just wouldn't leave me alone...so, blushing boy doesnt like photos... 






I am a crazy cat lady...love my babies!

 

Yep, I got my Tai Cheng shirt...I mastered it! Yay! Pictures tomorrow! So, I got to work...homework! Yay..not! Soon after I came up with a brilliant idea... FREE Clean Eating Challenge! Yes, I love that idea! WHY?! Because, though I eat clean mostly...I are much cleaner this time and I have lost 7lbs!!


While brain storming and talking to interested peeps I blended up some mangos, pineapples, and blueberries to mix with my Chobani nasty plain yogurt. haha! It was yum!




Finally wrapped that up and started making my lunch which was amazing! 2 cups of Spinach, 4 oz. ground turkey seasoned with Uncle Chris', 1/4 of an avocado, one roma tomato, few alfalfa sprouts and two lemons for dressing....soooooooo gooooooooooood. Nom Nom. Before mixed and after! yay!




I love how people are asking me for recipes...it makes me feel like I make some good shit...which, btw, I do...you should try it. =)

By the way...I love the flavor of Lychee...but never had an actual fruit...so I picked ONE up...cut it today and I have to say I giggled... It really tastes sort of like a grape but when you touch it...uh, it feels like... a dirty word that starts with a P! Same texture of the head of it....lol. I can't explain it any other way...Shit was funny! Marc even touched it and said..."Oh, wow...it really does. Surprisingly." Personally, it was just too weird to eat. I felt naughty.



Back to homework and then when I wrapped that up I got to do PiYo - Core which ....may I add....is amazing! I feel my muscles everywhere and tight everywhere. Only a few workouts I may need to work on a little form...I'll get better though...and the last move was tough on my back but again I am still stoked that I can do side planks again...yes! No back pain there!


For dinner I made scallops...yep, sure did! Seared them puppies in coconut oil which by the way is really dangerous...so don't do that naked...or really close for that matter. I sauteed coleslaw...yes, prepackaged but its just cabbage and carrots..my favorite thing sauteed! Then I used my rice cooker that has a steamer on it...score!....and steamed some broccoli. Made some couscous with the tiniest bit of butter..light, yes... and bam...amazing dinner. I did have a glass of some shitty wine I have...no bueno!

One cup of coleslaw, 1 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli, 1/2 cup of dry couscous (you cook it of course), Seer the scallops on a really hot pan...with two tsp of coconut oil (I made more so for one person you would use less), Bam.loveliness!


No shakeology today....sadly I had no time to fit it in...makes me sad but it did let me enjoy my yummy dinner and have more scallops than I really should have. I can say that by not having it, I dont feel so good....we shall see ...but for now, I know my back hurts...I think I should separate my running...not good for me. Besides, I really am digging Piyo and how I am feeling. I need to continue to do this...forever! Yep, I will have to get certified..yes! There's one coming up but I will have to wait financially for now. Still excited.


What I don't talk about much and I will more...is how much my challengers are doing and how wonderful they are taking to the program as well as the group I set up...That makes me feel successful and it makes my heart warm for them...I love following them through their journey...the excitement and knowing that I helped start that...I get to watch that...and experience it with them! That's what its all about...makes me super happy seeing them super happy.



Well, that's about it for me today...I'm watchin a bit of tv...down time..I overdo it half the time with homework and coaching...me time is important but its hard to not call coaching me time...cause I love watching it...but I need more down time...Piyo gives me that...I cant wait for more. Tomorrow I'm doing YogaX3 with Marc and Upper Body...bring it on! Have a great night!

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....

Whew! I am tired and ready for bed but I will still do my post as promised... Today my day started late but thanks to Punkin...my snuggle bunny...kitty...I got up at 10:30... Had some coffee and two hard boiled eggs...I forgot to take a photo...so I improvised. ha! Enjoy! Its beautiful! Don't you think? I played on my phone a bit...which I shouldn't have considering I have tons of homework to do. But I then got on my reading for my Lifespan class. Easy read but too a bit. I got my research together for three posts today....which means I will have to really buckle down tomorrow to write them as two are due tomorrow and I want to complete my work by Thursday...that's my weekly goal! Plus I need to work ahead because my residency is in 10 days...I haven't bought my plan ticket or my room...and I have two classes...plus its 8-5 work when I am there all week...so, hoping to God I can work early and get it done..tis the plan at least. Top is me now. ...
