Day 6 of 80 Day Obsession

-
As I'm writing this I'm sitting next to a pizza 😋 Luckily I'm not a big fan of pepperoni pizza. I will have my final meal of the day (protein and veggies) in a bit. Our day started late with our first meal being a late breakfast at Village Inn. I chose from the a la carte menu and was able to stick to the meal plan, by making this my pre-workout meal.
My breakfast - stuck to the plan, and it was tasty! I wish they had some more veggie options. I could have probably asked for green peppers or mushrooms.

My son's blueberry pancakes. They did look very yummy! But not ready to succumb in week one.

Today is day 6, which means it's also the last new workout of the week. This one was Cardio Flow, and I expected some sort of yoga with cardio, but that couldn't have been further from the truth! It was 30 heart-pumping minutes, which included the moves shown below, plus many more. They built on each other: you did one move for four reps, then added on a second, then do moves one and two again, added on a third, and keep going until you have 10 moves total. Then two more rounds of all of it combined. The hardest for me is the mule kick. I just can't get the hang time! Oh well, something to work on.


My son and I did the grocery shopping today after the workout, and tomorrow will be meal prep day again. I'll try some new things for week two. There's also a stretching and foam rolling workout available to us through 80 Day Obsession, which I will definitely check out.

I'm glad week one went to well, but I fully expect things to get more challenging in the next 70+ days. I'm glad I have my challenge group to check into daily and to keep me accountable and support me.

Yay!

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 ...

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 mush...
