Monday is the day!

Here we go! Monday kicks of 80 Day Obsession, the newest workout program I want to complete. My before pics have been taken (not sharing yet!), the sliders, loops and dumbbells are ready, the workout space in the basement awaits and the supplements are stocked.

It's been a while since I've followed a whole at-home program from beginning to end, following the meal plan to a T, so I expect this to be a challenge. I'm part of an awesome challenge group that will push me and hold me accountable. I also plan to use this blog to keep me on track, and to share my trials and tribulations. I hope you follow along and check back in! Now - wish me luck 😀
I've been getting ready with the A Little Obsessed workouts. Darn those loops!

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 10 of 80 Day Obsession

I can't believe we've already reached day 10. It's gone by quickly so far! Today has been a long day. My little dude had to have surgery today, and I was up at 4 a.m., and we all got to the hospital by 5:30 a.m. So needless to say, no morning workout happened today! Thankfully the surgery went very well, and the little patient is now at home resting. I draw a lot of strength from his little guy, just observing how he takes on the world. He is brave and a little trooper, and takes life one day at a time. I'm grateful to our wonderful surgeon and his team. I am proud of myself for still getting in my workout this afternoon. It really helps, for me at least, when I commit to a program like 80 Day Obsession and to a challenge group - the workout has to get done! Today was Cardio Core again, which really gets the heart rate up and then burns out the core with a mix of slider movements at the end. I did not take any video today, so you just have to take my word 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...
