Days 32 and 33 of 80 Day Obsession

-
All right, week six is kicked off with Booty! This is a great workout to start out the week, because it's challenging and you really feel like you're working hard. But let's back up first! Friday was day 32, and it was time for Cardio Flow again, only with six reps of everything, over and over again, instead of four. It was a challenge last Friday, but I got it done. It didn't feel like my best performance, that's for sure, but sometimes you just have to buckle down and do it!

Some stretching was sorely needed and felt great after. Sunday was rest day and, as always, meal prep day. We smoked some proteins on the Traeger, which came out really delicious. Preparing for the week is so important so you don't get caught off guard and end up eating something crappy!



Ribs and chicken, green beans, sweet potatoes, brown rice

After that it was time for an Epsom salt bath. I'd never tried one before. It was relaxing for sure, but almost too much! It knocked me out.


Okay, and then today it was time for day 33, Booty day. Another hour-long workout, and we went to the 10-rep pattern for three rounds. It was quite hard, and I'm already a little scared of next Monday, when it's 10 reps back to back to back. But we get stronger every day, right?!


Here are some of the moves from today. We used loops and weights. In the still photo I'm swinging around a 35 lb weight like a kettle bell. I was pretty scared it would go flying! I should turn away from the TV next time.


So that makes us all caught up again. Day 33 in the books, and still going strong.

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
