80 Day Obsession - It’s Getting Real

-
Okay, it’s getting real! 80 Day Obsession kicks off tomorrow. I have my alarms set on my phone for when to get up, when to workout and when to eat. The family is on board. My before-pictures have been taken, and the grocery shopping is done. I've prepped some proteins for the week in my trusty Instant Pot.

I also did a Fit Test my coach came up with. It took me almost an hour to get through all the different exercises. I'm excited to see where I'll be in 80+ days in terms of my strength, fitness and flexibility. Hopefully better than today on all aspects 😋


And of course it's Sunday, so it was time for some relaxation as well.

Hug or choke?!

And a last cocktail! I'll be reporting on the Day 1 workout tomorrow. 80 Day Obsession, here we go. Here's to hoping Autumn Calabrese (the trainer) won't kill me.

Day 41 of 80 Day Obsession

Here is my quick check-in for today - Day 41! We were on to Total Body Core again, with 10 reps and each set repeated immediately for three times. I've said it before, this is my favorite way of going through the reps. You really fatigue whatever muscles you're working on, and then move on to the next thing. This workout does work the core, but I really also felt my arms and shoulders today! This may have become my favorite workout of Phase Two. Unfortunately this Wednesday was not a refeed day - that happens only every other week. I rewarded myself with some new leggings for sticking with it through 40 days! Nothing like a new outfit to motivate you at 5 a.m., right? Post workout meal came out especially colorful today. Sweet potatoes, spinach and mushrooms, scrambled eggs, all sautéed in a little grapeseed oil. Add a small banana to it, and you have covered your yellow, green, red and purple containers, plus a teaspoon. Tomorrow is leg day again! I think t...

Day 80 of 80 Day Obsession!!!

It's done! I've made it to day 80! Woot woot! Actually, it really went by very fast, and I've had so much fun with this program. It was just right up my alley. So much, in fact, that I'm starting round 2 in a week after a week of different workouts! The last workout day was Booty from Phase 2, which was, aptly named, a butt kicker. I didn't remember how heavy we lifted in the earlier phases! This last week gave us the option of doing carb cycling and adding in four deplete days in between our regularly scheduled meal plan days. I did okay with this until the fourth day, which became a bit challenging for me! I did have to have some rice that evening, I was getting shaky. But here is one of my somewhat random deplete day meals. Okay, now let's get to the before and afters! I'm really, really happy with my results. I'm down 11 lbs since day 1, 2 inches in both my waist and my hips, 1.5 in my thighs. I feel so much stronger, both physically and ...

Day 8 of 80 Day Obsession

And we're back to Monday! This means going back to the workouts from last week, but with a new format. Whereas last week we did two rounds with 15 reps per exercise, today we did three rounds with 10 reps. This also meant going up in weights and loop strength wherever possible in todays Total Body Core. Below are three moves from today. The workout moves pretty fast, and all these exercises definitely work the core and start to burn! There are a few balancing moves as well, similar to the second one you see above, that will likely challenge you. I did feel a bit stronger than a week ago, and I also feel like I'm getting better at using the loops. I will probably regret saying that! Overall I'm still a bit more tired than usual and will try for another early bed time tonight. I think last night I got less than six hours, and I'm feeling it! I had another good day with the meal plan. That said, I will switch it around a bit tomorrow. With me working out so early...
