Day 21 of 80 Day Obsession

-
Week four is kicked off! This week we are doing all the Phase One workouts for a final time. Today was Total Body Core, at about 60 minutes, and we went back to doing 15 reps, repeating each round right away. This was surprisingly hard at times, using the same weights and loops as last week for the various moves. Adding on just five reps really makes a difference.


I didn't take any food pictures today, but I'm still having the sweet potato, mushrooms or spinach and two eggs a lot for my post workout meal. For pre-workout. I have my nutrition shake with almond milk and half a banana, and then the Energize workout fuel. Both give me lots of energy for the workouts! We'll have more of the turkey chili for dinner tonight, which covers a red, a green and a yellow container (because of the beans in there).

Due to the lack of food pictures today, here's one of these two cuties:


Okay, tomorrow we have the Phase One Booty workout for the last time! Our "safe word" in 80 Day Obsession is "pineapple." I may have gotten close, but haven't had to call it yet! Maybe tomorrow 😉

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
