Day 22 of 80 Day Obsession

-
Let's start with food today! I found myself thinking about food all day today, and I was hungry! This despite bumping myself up to food bracket B this week. I started out at A, where the weight loss formula put me. I have lost a few pounds, and when we re-calculate at the end of phase one, this will put me into bracket C for maintenance. Since I was starting to feel quite hungry a lot, I decided to place myself into B for this week, for transition and to help with my energy. It's been good, but I'm looking forward to being in C next week! Below is my lunch for today. Being in bracket B now, I was able to add some chickpeas to fill a yellow container. Delicious! The chicken was leftover buffalo chicken from the Super Bowl.

For dinner, we had a Hello Fresh meal, which was tilapia fish tacos. Really yummy! I used corn tortillas for mine and left off the crema the recipe called for, but added some broccoli instead. This made for a very nice, fresh meal.

Today was also our last time doing the phase one Booty workout. With 15 reps and repeating each set immediately, this one gave a huge burn today! Autumn and the cast were cracking up at the moaning and suffering noises they were making, and their hilarity helped me make it through my reps as well.


Many of the moves are small for this workout, but they really target specific muscles and hurt like hell after a while!

I'm going to try for an early bedtime tonight and hopefully will be a bit less hungry 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
