PiYo Challenge - Day 6



Today was non-eventful...nah, it was great! I woke up with kitties in my face. It was the best thing in the world when your sweet sweet kitty wakes you up with her quiet meow (Punkin does not meow much), layin on your chest and tapping your face with her paw. She's 6 years old but she's still an adorable snuggle bunny. I didn't take a photo but its much like this video...I swore she was talking to the other kitties outside the door who were telling her to wake me up.






As soon as I got up...late, as I was again up late....Marc came in shortly after...and told me it was time for P90x3 Yoga...I was going to pass but I decided not to. Instead it was wonderful and great!!! I love that workout and I really enjoy working out with my honey. Nothing like working out with your significant other because it brings you closer together. For breakfast I had my kind bar as I was in a hurry...nom nom...so good. I still wanted my eggs...tomorrow...I'll have it tomorrow.





After we finished Yoga, I went on to do my Piyo Define Lower Body...wow, I was able to go even deeper now that I know the moves better. I enjoy that workout but again still not burning much of anything so I feel as if I need to do other workouts to get some kind of burn but I said I would be faithful to Piyo alone yet I want to burn more. I am eating really healthy and doing very well but I want to accelerate it. I know I have on my goal board to run a 5k a week at least so I will start making more time to go to the park and get out...get sun and enjoy life some more as I feel like I stay inside way too much, lack vitamin D which leads to depression and I need to stop that. 




So, re-adjusting myself and this weeks food choices weren't bad at all. I had my Chocolate vegan Shakeology as usual and enjoyed it...man, I feel so better after I drink it...more energy and clarity. All around so much better. 








Later had a yoplait yogurt and then I made us some ground turkey in corn tortillas with tomatoes, onions, spinach, siracha, and tiny bit mozzarella cheese....which I swear I wouldn't know was there...haha. But it was yum. This is Marc's plate...lots prettier cause mine came apart....


Afterward we decided to go to a movie and see Dawn of The Planet of The Apes...which I really didn't want to see...but Oh My God...it was wonderful. I truly enjoyed that movie...the previews don't do it justice. It was nice to unpack a little more before we left so now my things are all put together in the bathroom...probably another reason I have been so stressed but after all the Yoga and Piyo today I felt amazing...no back pain and no nothing. It was and still is amazing and I feel like this really may be MY new go to workout! If it can take my pain away like this...then I will do it forever!!! 


Feels so good doing my hair and putting makeup on...may just be a movie but it was nice and I felt pretty...we women have to stick together and remember that we have to still take care of ourselves and do things that make us happy even if we dont leave the house much or go out much. It was nice...My honey could barely stop staring...yay. I was only in jeans and a t-shirt.




Got home from the movie and made dinner which was wide vietnamese rice noodles...thin pork chops I made in a skillet on low so I didnt have to use oils...and I took left over fresh string beans and put them in the skillet after the pork...so yum...afterward I placed all the contents in a bowl with beef broth...simple, easy and yum but I didn't drink the broth. 


On another level...look what I got in...so excited to start it...3 - Day Refresh!!! and eager to try out the old but goodie Power 90!



All in all, it was a great day. I ate good, I had a few glasses of wine watching tv and Red Vs Blue today laughing with my honey but all in all...did you know Netflix had up to Season 5 on it..very good. Such a wonderful day! If it weren't for Marc I wouldn't know what was going on in the world. Or even all the funny things. Even having gotten a 100 on my first quiz... Everyone thinks Masters...no problem...but mine is in 10 week increments...crazy hard.

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. ...
