Day 39 of 80 Day Obsession

-
Almost at the halfway point! Today is day 39 of 80 of 80 Day Obsession. And it was Booty day again, which is always a favorite. This week we move to repeating each small set of 10 reps three times. I like this pattern better than going through all sets and then repeating two more times. There's less up and down and switching of loops and weights. Booty is always a great workout, and I especially had a lot of fun in the new leggings my hubby got me!

Heart butt!

I went up in weights again today, which felt great. This workout was again 60 minutes long.


Yesterday was rest day and meal prep day, and Saturday had been Day 38 and Cardio Flow day. Just like last week, we did the six-rep pattern again. I felt a bit stronger than the week before, so that was nice!

I kept meal prep pretty simple, and prepared ground turkey taco meat, chicken and quinoa for salads. Oh, and some brownies for other members of the family!


Here's a snack from the weekend - another nice, filling salad.


It is hard to believe we are now almost halfway through. I will have to get a progress photo tomorrow. This program has been a very positive experience so far, from the wonderful online support through the challenge group and Autumn's exclusive coach group, to the timed nutrition meal plan. Being on maintenance now, it really feels sustainable and like something that I can incorporate for the long run.

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
