Day 38: Found The Motivation

Lately, I've been struggling. I've been tired and trying to find the motivation to workout. I've been wrapped up in life and find little time to workout at times. I, at times, find myself thinking I haven't changed and I can put off my workout till tomorrow. Well, I found the motivation. Just when I didn't think I haven't changed, people have mentioned that they've seen a change in me. A few friends of mine that I haven't seen in a few weeks, asked me what I've been doing, if I've been hitting up the gym and how much weight have I lost. And few others that I tend to see more often have mentioned that they noticed I was losing weight and that I look good. As vain as that is, that did give me some motivation. So much so, that before my friend's pool party, I did my Combat 60 and to add some variety, I did a bit of Brazilian Butt Lift Bum Bum. And I even went as far as to don a bikini and I took off the cover-up lol.

Today, to make up for the missed workouts during the long Memorial Day weekend, I'm going to do two workouts - I think Power Kata and a HIIT workout. And I'm sure the two workouts will have me sore tomorrow like yesterday's workout had me sore today. Good news is that I can still get sore, especially the butt area. I so need to workout the butt lol.

I've been continuing to do better with the eating thing. Well, for the most part. Yesterday's food went out the window. I blame that on being in the pool and the sun and the pool lol. I'm going to try and do better with the eating again. Hopefully all the working out and eating better will help me lose more pounds. I weighed myself the other day for my weekly weigh in and the number hasn't gone down.. But, at least the number didn't go up, so I'm okay with it.

I'm doing a challenge with my Beachbody coach for the next 90 days :) I know that during my challenge with my coach, my Beachbody challenge will be done and I'll need to find another program so I need to think of which I want to do next. I'm thinking another round of Combat or maybe switching it up so I can confuse my body? Hmm....

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...
