Day 15 of 80 Day Obsession

-
Today is Monday, which makes this day 15 of this 80 day journey. Yesterday was a rest day, and also a day of stretching and meal prep. There was a new stretching video available for us, and it was nice and to the point at 15 minutes.

For meal prep, I tried two recipes from the Fixate cookbook, which is also included in the Beachbody On Demand access. Such a great value! You have access to lots of healthy, easy fix-friendly recipes. All the ones that work for 80 Day Obsession are noted. These two turned out really good! They even have cooking videos you can watch, or you can just read the recipes.

One Pot Sausage and Bean Soup

Chicken taco filling - yumm!

Today's Monday workout was Total Body Core again, which is a favorite of mine. To mix it up yet again, we repeated each set of three exercises three times (ten reps again) instead of going through all sets first and then repeating. This really tired out the muscles targeted in each set. I really liked this set-up. This workout was 60 minutes long. Below is the first set! Moved up to 15 lbs on the first move.


And finally, here are my lunch and dinner for today. You'll recognize the dinner as the taco dish above. Lunch was really simple with a salad with a bit of oil-based dressing (green and orange containers) and salmon for the red container. But I may need to give my coworkers a break from the salmon tomorrow 😀



I felt great today for a Monday! The workouts switching up a week is perfect for me. Usually week three or four is when I get the itch to switch to some other workout program, but not with this one. It's pretty genius really!

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 18 of 80 Day Obession

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
