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!

Booty in progress!

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 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...
