Day 19: Feeling Like I'm Falling Off The Wagon

Well, I feel like I've fallen back into my old ways sadly. I know that's not completely true, since I'm down a pound or two this week, but it sure as heck feels like it. I've been so tired lately with the adjustment to my schedule, adding in school into the mix. And if that wasn't enough to add to my weeks, I'm adding in volunteer time as well as attempting to train for a 5k.

I'm determined to making this work. I think I also need to change up my workout. I think BBL is not for me right now. I miss Combat a bit more than I thought I would. I miss Dan and Rach! I miss the music! I miss the sweaty awesomeness that came with it from all the kicks and punches! Don't get me wrong. I do like BBL. There are fun aspects and moves that I get with it that I don't get with Combat. Maybe I should do a hybrid of the two and see where that takes me. I know I'd look forward to Combat 30 or 45 or 60 more than I do the Cardio Axe. And I know I do like the Sculpt and the High & Tight over the HIIT Power. And I can trade off on the HIIT Plyo on some days. The more I think about it, the more I want a second round of Combat! I'll just try and modify things since my ankle is still tender (I would love my ankle to be healed, but I don't think it's happening as fast since work and I still workout - at times harder than I should cause I hate feeling like such a bum).

I still need to get my eating under control. Before, I wasn't eating enough and now I eat too much for my inactivity level! Ahh! lol.

Also, because of the urge to do some Combat, I've been getting my girl crush on with Gina Carano. And I've had Haywire on repeat so here's my inspirational clip? LOL Plus, I love this scene cause it has Michael Fassbender :P

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...
