PiYo Challenge - Day 17



I did it again!!!!!! YES! I got up at 8am and was a good girl!!!! Ready to tackle the day...as so I did! Got straight on some inspiring and motivating.....on to working on homework...woot woot! Seriously, with what other job can you love to spend your day helping people recognize their own value, learn to love who they are and believe in theirselves? I don't know any other job that allows you to do that without all the paperwork of counseling...but its ok...I'm a counselor AND a beachbody coach!!! I love it! 


 Annnnnywho, today I had some yogurt for breakfast..along with two hard boiled eggs...Oh yeah and coffee...I needed the coffee....but I must say, I don't enjoy it like I use to. It doesn't taste the same but it does what it's suppose to do before I lose my wording and my mind. haha. 



Did I ever tell you how much Shadow loves yogurt...I swear he can tell from a mile away!!! Plain yogurt is actually good for kitties so he doesn't get much of this! It's not even the best for me...I love Chobani...but saved some moolah this week. 8 pack for $2.58!


So, from then on I got to work on a discussion post for grad school...yay...got that done and had lunch...nom noms....the normal salad with a quarter of an avocado, one roma tomato, some onions and two lemons..oh yeah, and 4oz of ground turkey...I think I over did it on the romaine lettuce though...still good...while Marc picked at it and stuck his finger in it...dork!


I continued doing some work and found that my Body Beast shirt was sent to my old house, my Shakeology was sent there and sent back, and my other programs Slim in 6 and Hip Hop Rockin Body was sent to my old house too....damn it! Oh well...they fixed it. Took about an hour on the phone...fun stuff...While I worried about that I had my Shakeology...you know vegan chocolate and pb2...with light vanilla soy...man, I was tired before I had that...once again made my day...


So, after I was getting comfy and decided....10 second rule...I want to workout but if I don't get up now I may become lazy AND I'm still sore in my thighs from yesterday...it was intense and I definitely feel it today. GOT TO LOVE THE BURN!!! So I tackled Piyo - Core...which I am improving on but I think using the running shoes I have is not helping with balance...they aren't flat to the floor and have always gave me problems...I should have known better and used my other Nike Shox...I will next time...This time I videoed my workout so I can check form and see my improvement. This was only the third time I have done this but I have improved..minus balance being off...USE THE OTHER SHOES! Yes ma'am! I haven't gotten to post it to YouTube just yet but I will update and include it tomorrow for sure...its not the greatest for me...but I look forward to improvement. Using a mirror is important in knowing form however, I don't have my mirror wall like my last house...I have mirrors but they are not where they need to be...so, I video...its a great tool. Hopefully I inspire someone too! =) I burned 75 more calories this time than normal so I would say I improved...I did go lower than I expected I did on one side (bowlers lunges) but the other was no where close..I fear I may be lop-sided. haha. And no...that's not a nipple...its a scratch that is hiding as a nipple...damn it! Again, I get distracted by kitties!


After that I showered and Marc started on dinner while I made his breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. We had stuffed chicken breast with spinach, 1/8 of of cup of shredded mozzarella and a few slices of mushrooms inside....I then made couscous...btw, a little goes a long way...its just so much after it fluffs...and it takes seconds to cook after the water boils..so easy. I put some fresh green beans in a skillet and cooked with some Dale's steak seasoning which is a better tasting soy sauce...its definitely steak liquid though...very salty so it was just a liquid to cook with...beware of the salt intake here...so yummy though!!! Dinner totaled 365 calories....go for clean!!! Hell yes. 


I feel amazing and I enjoyed spending some time with my honey but I still have a discussion post to do and a paper...no problem, I am prepared. Yes, I know my punctuation is off and typing is crazy...but its how I type and talk. Super FUN!!! Now, its time to go snuggles with the Shadow...As I have been with him and Punkin all day...they follow me while studying...so cute. I love them...they don't even mind their fake toe nails so they don't scratch the couches...Marc chose blue for Shadow...that or grey cause there was no clear in his size...which is really dark but sticks out with his black coat...Punkin got the clear ones...


Blue nails!!!


Now, time to go lay down and go to sleep...few glasses of wine...and I'm still 400 calories below but I'm happy...that's it for me. Oh, and Piyo Challenge Pack and 3-Day Refresh Challenge Pack is only on sale for tomorrow then it goes up... Seriously, why are you waiting to start your life!!! 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. ...
