Day 29: Almost Halfway

So this past week has been a train wreck for me. Well, a train wreck for my challenge schedule. I did a lot of overtime and I was so tired from work that I would seriously come home and just pass out for the night. So I took those days to rest cause I know I needed to go into work. And that two weeks straight of work without a day off is over!!! I did manage to fit in a few workouts, but not enough for the Beachbody challenge. I did manage to do my fair bit of walking so I wasn't completely inactive. I'm going to make up for missing the challenge workouts tomorrow. I'll fit in some Combat 30 and some Shock Plyo. I'm sure I'll feel the Power HIIT tomorrow in my thighs lol.

While I lacked being as active as I would have liked, I did try to do better with my eating. I haven't been hitting my macros like I want to. I'm trying to, but sometimes its so hard. I've upped my calorie count an extra 100 calories since I was worried about my calorie intake since I've been active lately. We'll see how that goes when I weigh myself tomorrow for Day 30! I might do some pics for that as well. 

And since I try not to put too much stock in the number on my scale, I did some measurements (post-dinner - bad, I know lol) and I was pleasantly surprised. I lost nine inches overall so far. Three from the waist, 1.5 from the chest (unfortunately), an inch from the hips, and some inches from the thighs! I was super happy about the thighs part and the waist lol. There were a few inches lost from other areas but those are what I've been most happiest about.

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...
