Day 32: Feelin' The Burn

So good news, didn't feel tweaked from that unexpected cramp the other day! YAY! Also some awesomeness, I'm totally feeling the burn in my bum bum from my day of doing Shock Plyo and Combat 30 back to back. That was the other day. Combat 60 following that workout day is keeping me sore in my arms but in a good way. Hopefully, today's Power Kata will keep the burn going, but I kinda doubt it. I felt like I half-assed it since I was tired. I should've had like some caffeine or something before because not enough sleep took it's toll on today's workout and today in general. I'm sure it'll be like this tomorrow. I'm determined to get through this week's workouts to get back on track to the Challenge schedule and actually have a rest day instead of 10 days straight of working out. As much as I love the workouts, I still like my rest days.

Bad news: I ate horribly today. I got to my calorie number I needed, but did not get completely good food to get there. Tomorrow, I need to eat better and keep trying to get better with the eating. I'm really thinking about trying out Shakeology as a meal, specifically breakfast, but sometimes I just really want something hot to eat. And unfortunately, that doesn't always mean healthy at times. But at least I'm not skipping breakfast or other meals and I am eating tinier portions and trying to make better decisions.

Combat 60 is up tomorrow. I can feel the burn in my arms already lol. I'm looking forward to Saturday, my next rest day.

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...
