PiYo Challenge - Day 16

 

I was super proud of myself I woke up at 8am!!! Wowza! Go me! Did you know that it takes 5-10 seconds for your mind to get lazy and come up with any excuse not to do something you want to do? YEP! 10 SECONDS! And if you read my blog you know that I say this a lot! So, think about what you have put aside because you had an excuse in your mind that SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN!? My suggestion...STOP IT! For the love of GOD, stop it!!! Make the decision TODAY that you will not allow excuses to be a big part of you who are and why you aren't moving forward in decisions in your life!!! For me...I want to be happy and help others be happy...couldn't ask for more! Helping others find happiness makes me happy.


For me, I sleep in till 10 or 11 which takes a whole day away form me of doing school work...that isn't flying for me at all and I can NOT allow it to continue to happen...so, when my alarm went off this morning (one of four...sad but true) I opened my eyes, didn't want to get up but I did. FIGHT THOSE THOUGHTS...TAKE ACTION! GET YOUR ASS UP AND MOVING ON WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO AND DECIDE TODAY! There really is no better time than now, I say! I mean, if you want to go to school...do it...if its midnight...and you think about it...write it down..open the website to look at the information...GET THE BALL MOVING!!! If you don't you will give your mind the chance to say no...find an excuse and your dream will be gone for another day....later...maybe never....and I know many people who eat their dreams away, drown in depression and so forth that shouldn't...stop blaming other people, places, things...and start doing!!! Stop listening to your brain blame one person or something else...to me, the problem is not them or something else...its you!!! Stop the thoughts before they continue and nip them in the bud...GET OUT THERE!


*end soap box* (probably not) =)


Seriously though, can you imagine the things we can accomplish if we just get up and get started...so, I got started...got all of my reading done for this week...TODAY...I got a discussion post...two pages mind you...cited and done!! And I have the information for my next two together and ready to be written...All I would have left is a long 4 page paper I can focus on all week...Oh yeah, and YOU GUYS AND GALS!!! My pride and joy...my love...my motivation to do it all...to inspire and help to create a new walk of life. Yep, that's my goal and my dream...I'm proud of me today...are you? What have you done today that you can be proud of...no matter how small..if you did something you normally put off or even if you did your hardest task FIRST...big round off applause because that's the way to handle things...tasks seem to get better and done quicker if you tackle the one you DON'T WANT TO DO...FIRST! Yep...just do it!


My day was just about that...homework an a bit of inspiration...focus on my team and their progress....I had to put some coaching on the back burner today..I had business to tend to and I knew my peeps would rock it out...and later I found out that they had...INDEED! Great thing is...we learn through trial and error...and I notice that some people may slip but they are quick to want to learn and be a part of something...isn't that what we all want?! To be a part of something? My point is...if you don't have a group...don't have a coach that helps you with motivation, inspiration, eating tips, workout tips and form etc...you need to get one..hell, jump on my band wagon...I love new peeps...tis what I do...and what I live...and thrive for!!! So proud of my peeps today...one small step leads to another that can truly change your life. For that...I am so proud...and if you fail...learn from it...pick up and go again...but don't keep making the same mistake of not getting up and doing something..making excuses... MAN I'M ON A ROLL TONIGHT!! *step down from soap box again*


This was me during Asylum about a month ago...I wanted to share my joy again...THE LITTLE SUCCESSES MATTER!!! They REALLY, REALLY MATTER! With small accomplishments comes greater accomplishments...take pride in ALL of it!


Breakfast...yes, that...I had eggbeaters with two roma tomatoes and onions...nom nom...I did have coffee this morning...as I needed a boost...MAN DO I THINK CLEARER ON COFFEE! I try to cut it out though...I love the creamer and its just not good for you...


I then had my Chocolate Vegan Shakeology...I love that shit! with pb2 of course and vanilla soy...yes, almond milk is better for you but i just can't stand the taste and it ruins me want for my shake...I can NOT have that!!! no way! don't fuck with my chocolate! (and I don't like chocolate too much...this is my fav treat though)

After my shake I did more reading and preparing before I tackled Piyo-Buns...by the way...they did NOT say thighs...which I should have known better...duh...but uh...my thighs were on fiyah!!! <--yes spelling incorrectly on purpose..get over it! heehee... Man, that was intense. My thighs were screaming and I missed on burpee cause uh...I had to give my legs a break for a second...within ten minutes I was sweating and wishing it was over but I still loved the workout...nothing like knowing you busted your ass and gave it your all!!! SCORE!! Not a grand photo...but check out my thighs already from day 1...I am digging this workout!



I'm guessing I broke out from the bad food coming out of my system from Sunday...good riddance! But hey, check out my muffin top...already going down...month ago..it was way worse...and I don't feel like Piyo is super hard...but my goodness...eating right and doing this...working amazing things on my body!


Got a shower and back at the reading again while my honey had set up the cable in the bedroom...I however made myself a ground turkey salad...4oz...with romaine lettuce...about two cups...one tomato, some onions, 1/4 of avocado and lemons of course...two...for taste! nom nom...


Back to reading and watching some tv with my honey till he made us some dinner...Turkey burgers...I had one..no worries, 1/4 of an avocado, onions, light mayo..he went for different taste, and cabbage/carrots (packaged as coleslaw...but its raw) sauteed to amazing yummy goodness with extra extra virgin olive oil and put on the burger...with 5 brussel sprouts sauteed to perfection.


By the way...did I show you my Minxi? She loves Marc's bag...always in it...she's ten! Was very happy today because she went outside for awhile...haha...then ALLOWED me to pet her as she walked up to thank me...she's such a bitch but also a sweetheart...very much like her mother...ahem...=)


I had a glass of wine and we watched some tv while I caught up with my team...so proud...did I tell you I'm so proud of them...? cause I really am!!! Now, time to go to bed...trying to be on time and my bed time is set for 10:45pm as always...I never make it though...Goodnight stars!

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. ...
