The Day After....

The day after Thanksgiving. Hope you enjoyed it all as much as I did. I did tons of cooking, not too much eating and this morning I gave away all the unhealthy stuff (bye bye pecan apple cobbler). I do have lots of turkey left over...which is great, gives me good protein. :D
I also did a good workout this morning though I did not sleep well (thanks vodka). I did Burn Interval instead of Speed and Agility and some of Tony Hortons One on One Just Arms.
That is it for today. Lots of cleaning to do.

Plyo? Na, Not Today.

I have a tad of a problem. Since 3 days I get horrible side stitches as soon as I start doing ANY Plyo work. This is strange for me...it is in a different spot then usually and starts right away. Normally I jump rope everyday. Guess I have to put that on hold. Knowing this I still tried to do Plyo but had to stop. I did the Burn Off Challenge from Chalean Extreme instead which is 30 minutes long...I also added my standard arm workouts. I do 20 (5lbs low weight) reps of Biceps Curls, Shoulder Press, Lateral Raises, and Overhead Triceps Extensions (makes 80 reps). I do 5 sets (400 rep, twice a day, every other day). It does not even hurt (until the last set) but makes my arms feel awesome.
This is about all for today. I am sure I will find time to press play tomorrow...NOT. Hahaha! I will try of course.

Major Bum Burn.

Hello all of you :)

It is an incredible day out there so I won't post much to get outside with my kids again. 
It was Speed and Agility today. 25 minutes into the workout I got horrible side stitches...took a break but it would not stop. I figured pushing it would not be too wise so I did round 1 of One on One Bun Shaper. It really hurt! haha. 
Alright friends, that's about it. It is too beautiful outside to even waste a single minute inside.

Core Syn, How I Missed You!

I had quite the long weekend. Love going out with my man! Before we left to go out he took me to the store to get me a new pair of jeans. I always got myself jeans that go to my belly button using the excuse "I am a mom, I can not wear low rise" when in all honesty I did not wear it due to the muffin top that graced my behind. Well...I found a cute pair. Size 4 long. Down from 16...if you remember. har har
I got my eating back under control and did my Ab Workouts yesterday just did not know what else to write so I figured I pull it into today's post.


Today is the first day of my "Recovery Week" and Core Syn was on the menu. Love this workout to pieces. It is one of those workouts that you can really concentrate on. Each move has to be controlled to use every core muscle available. You go slow...and it feels amazing. My reps where good and I used, as always, 5lbs for those sets. 
I also like to take 25 minutes a day to watch my show (Modern Family). While I sat there drinking my water I figured it be so much smarter to do some arm sets. I did some biceps, shoulders and triceps. It felt nice....because I was distracted the entire time. I feel the burn already! 
The last couple days I also came to realize that a day without workouts will not bring me back to 200lbs again. Nice to finally know that. Hope all of you are as excited for Thanksgiving as I am. <3 you all!

Kenpo X Instead Of Speed And Agility

Hey frieeeends. Today was suppose to be Speed and Agility yet I have some issues with calories due to new meds meaning they have been way to low the last two days. Figured I should do an easier workout to not burn even more so I did Kenpo X. I forgot how boring this workout is...lol. Ankle weights make it a bit better but it is nothing compared to Kenpo X Plus...whenever I do that one I feel like a darn Gladiator. So awesome! I should do it next time with my sons plastic swords in my hand! 
My 5 year old took a few pictures of me today. They always a tad fuzzy but I absolutely love it. Make sure you drink lots of water during such a dry season!
