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 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
