Day 13 of 80 Day Obsession

Saturdays mean Cardio Flow. Saturdays will ALWAYS mean Cardio Flow! Autumn told us last week that we will do this workout on Saturdays throughout the program. Right now we are doing each move for 4 reps, phase 2 will be 6 reps and phase 3 will be 8 reps. So this should be a great baseline to measure our progress against, hopefully! I did a little video of the final round today. This round contains all the moves, and at the end I was exhausted. The workout builds pyramid-style, in that you do move 1, then 1 and 2, then 1, 2, 3, etc. You get the idea 😄



Luckily this means that those mule kicks/frog hops at the end only happen three times!

A good stretch was definitely needed after
I've still been keeping the food relatively simple to fill the food containers. My dinner this evening was asparagus and some salmon and chicken for the red/protein. I was home again today, off from work, and so I had a later pre-workout meal again, which I mixed up a bit with some rice and mushrooms.


I'm also making lots of more or less experimental shakes and soups for my son. All his foods have to be liquefied at the moment. He's also been drinking the Daily Sunshine shake, which is awesome right now for its healthy calories and nutrients.

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

We are nearing the end of week 3! I was dragging this morning... The alarm went off at 4:45 a.m. and I had one of those "Am I crazy? Why am I doing this to myself?" moments. I'm almost 50, why am I trying to be in the best shape of my life again?! Then I rolled out of bed, because that's what I do. Habit took over and that is a good thing! I had my superfood shake and my Energize "workout fuel" and felt better and (mostly) ready to go. Over the years I've found that in those moments you have to a) just tough it out and do it and b) remember your why and the big picture. Fitness is a journey with no real destination - you never really get there, you always have to keep going and challeng yourself. But your reward is better health, feeling better about yourself, stress relief, mobility, being able to run around with your kids, etc. etc. Today's workout was AAA (arms, abs and a$$, if you recall), which really is a great one for a day when you're

Day 37 of 80 Day Obsession

It's hard to believe we've made it to day 37 already! Today was AAA's turn again, a solid 60 minutes, which actually took maybe five minutes longer for me, because I had to pause a few times. I couldn't always switch bands and weights fast enough! This workout feels a little disjointed to me with all the up and down and back and forth, and I think next week's pattern of repeating each set for three times will actually work much better. That said, I got a good sweat and workout as always with this one. Tonight we had a Hello Fresh meal for dinner. You can make a lot of these work quite well for the meal plan. This one was the Tex-Mex Tilapia. I left the sour cream crema off mine, and it was still really yummy. Some couscous as my "yellow" tonight, that was a nice change of pace too, with some cilantro and lime juice in it. In the video above, you'll see the mule kick-back move with the loop. Well, in round three my loop busted! Scared the cr
