Power Kata For A Super Awesome Day!!!

So Day 3 of the Combat Warrior calendar called for Power Kata. Again, I missed my workout in the morning, so I got it in tonight. I'm just happy fitting in the workout and actually getting through it. Well, I struggled so I went at my pace and did some of the modifiers so I can try and get my technique and form. But make no mistakes, I was sweating and my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest and I was breathing so hard lol.

I didn't think I was going to be able to be as energetic with the workout either given that I am still so sore from Day 2's workout. When I got up this morning, the legs didn't feel too bad, but then I got to work and did I feel it then! What did they say about pain? It was something like it [pain] was weakness leaving the body. Yeah, I keep telling myself that. And all that soreness is change. I keep telling myself that too cause I believe it. I already kinda feel a change. I don't know if that's from Combat or from my great mood today.

Today something fantastic happened, and not just a Combat workout. I was trying on clothes in my closet to find something for work and I dared to try on an old skirt that previous to today, I last tried on like 4 months ago (I can't remember when I last wore it out - why it's in my closet, I don't know lol. Probably hoping I could fit it again cause it's really cute). Well last time I tried it on, it was tight and I could barely button it. But today - it fit!!!! NO - It did better than fit!!! It was lose and ill fitting!!!! Funny how a little thing like that made me super happy!!!

Another awesome thing today - my feet, which always seem to hurt after those hours on my feet at work, didn't. Now I don't know if it's cause I was too sore in my legs to feel the ache in my feet, but it made getting up and working out a lot easier.

I know that tomorrow is a rest day, but I really, genuinely can't wait for the next workout. Maybe I should sneak in like Kick Start 30? Or maybe rest like it suggests? We'll see how I am tomorrow!

I've also decided to do a food journal and maybe post it. I want to do that just so I can be accountable with my food and beverage intake. Maybe if my bad eating habits are out for the world to see, I'll be better? Let me know what you think of that. And speaking of beverage intake - namely water - I found a video that would further enlighten. I know my friend could use this video.

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...
