Back From Vacay

Well I'm back from Boston. It was a good trip. I think I ate my weight in cannolis from Mike's Pastry. If you haven't been there, you need to go. It's delicious. I loved it when the sun was out and shinning; it made Boston awesome and a place that now my mother wants to move to. I'm still on the fence of that. I've come to learn that I love the sun and I like being close to Cali and Vegas and just being on the West coast. 

Now, it's hard to talk about my Boston trip without mentioning what happened. If we didn't leave when we did, I'm sure my mother and I would have been down at that finish line, doing the tourist thing and seeing the Boston Marathon. It saddens me to see all the carnage that happened at a place that was suppose to have such hope and celebration. I remember all the pre-race interviews that were being done and all the inspiration that the people running in the marathon inspired. And well, being back from Boston has made me quite grateful to be alive and well. And it makes me really want to be well and actually try to live well. 

So with that being said, I'm going to start the Combat schedule starting at the beginning of my week, which will be Saturday. I've done a few of the workouts already, but I have a feeling like going through the program and doing the whole 60 will be killer, but I'm looking forward to it! I can't wait. I already know I'm probably not going to eat as well as I should and I need to change that. I know I probably will stray from the nutrition plan but I'm going to try being real and get what I can at work, which might be hard cause not everything is known for calorie counting. 

I'll check in and let you know how it goes as I start and try to finish within the challenge time frame.

Oh, and before I let you all go, I found an awesome video to answer that nagging question I'm sure we all have - when to workout and the thing that goes with that, what to eat. And it comes from one of my favorite people to workout to - Shaun T. I feel like it's good advice, no matter what program you do. The link is to question in particular, but if you want to watch the whole interview, I've inserted the video for you all to watch.

Back Again

Hello again! It's been a while since I've been on here. Mainly because of life's ups and downs. I've been feeling really low about myself and decided I needed to change. Hopefully it takes, or more like hopefully I'm ready to sustain change. What's changed for me? I'm at a professional part in my life where I've been feeling stagnant and want more or change or both. And personally, I got to the point where I got too comfortable and just stopped focusing on my health goals/gains cause my partner was okay with me the way I was/am. Which, I know, is super awesome and fortunate but I didn't like the run down and weighed down feeling I had when literally and figuratively. So, for the last few months, I've been doing a dietbet, which I'm not great at. I feel like I always get close to my goal but never get there, which would've made me feel down in the past. But now, I just take it and move onto the next month and hope I make it then. Alo...

BEASTing Out

Well, I finally did it. I took the plunge into Body Beast. I like to lift so I thought this would be fun. And I'm sure it is fun if I didn't feel like puking during the workout. It's been a while since I've had this happen. I thought I gave myself enough time in between dinner and my workout. Maybe not? Or was I just working out that hard? I didn't feel like I did. It was a Build: Chest/Tri's day so I used light weights for like all my sets since I tweaked my left shoulder and didn't want to train one side heavy than the other cause I'd like some symmetry. Either way, I'm gonna keep on. Tomorrow is Legs and I do love a leg day, even if I hate it the next two days after. I'm still doing the Les Mills classes and videos. I did Body Pump this week. I should've taken that class as a sign to go easy on my shoulder now that I think about. I'll probably do some Combat or Sh'bam again for some cardio to go along with my Body Beast program. ...

Derailed In December And Still Off The Rails

So in December, I had every intention of being better, but it hasn't been going exactly as planned. It's actually been kinda bad. I've been a bit derailed. Maybe it was the holidays. Maybe it’s because I’ve been a little bit down and depressed. Maybe it was the weather of the season. Maybe it was and is all the working I've been doing. Actually, now that I think about it, it's all of the above on top and being in school this semester that’s in my way. My workouts have been sporadic. Work has me drained more than usual. And being anemic and having poor nutrition as of late hasn't helped either. I don’t sleep as much because I work too much. One job has me up at 3 a.m. And the other job, when I work, has me up till like 11 p.m. If I schedule my workouts before work, then I’ll be up at like 2 a.m. I need to find a balance and change. So to kind of start to change off things, I took on a trainer. It was going alright I suppose until like last month. I starte...
