Day 56 of 80 Day Obsession

-
It's been a busy week! Time to catch up. I had to do some traveling for business today, so I got behind on updating the blog. And we had all new workouts this week for the start of Phase 3! I have to say, I love Phase 3 so far. The first week was 15 reps again of each move, for three rounds.

My travels took me to Chicago, which is always a beautiful place to fly into.


I moved one workout around to do it earlier in the week on the road. I brought my sliders and loops and was ready to go! With the streaming and downloadable workouts, you're ready to get your sweat on anywhere. Nutrition was pretty good on the road as well, even though I couldn't stick to my schedule quite as well as normal. I ate quite a few salads! I had also brought my superfood shake and pre-workout fuel, along with some apples and bananas, to keep me going.


The workouts this week were all really awesome and challenging. I'll write about them in more detail next week. Today was booty day, and man, I can feel the soreness coming on as I'm typing! These workouts have such fun and innovative moves, it just never gets boring. Here are some highlights from booty day.


It was a beautiful day here in Colorado as well, so we had to get outside a bit. Here we are on a walk with the doggies. It was a bit windy! And yes, I have a jacket on and he's in shorts and a t-shirt. This boy never gets cold! It's a battle every day, because all he wants to wear is shorts.


I'll leave you with a booty day picture!

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
