Starting Over - My Way

So since I'm feeling unsatisfied with my recent workouts, I've decided to go back to what I love - Combat!!!! Only difference is, that for the next month or so, I'm going to be doing a Brazilian Butt Lift/Combat hybrid before starting the Combat Supreme Warrior workout Beachbody challenge. I'm hoping this goes better than just doing BBL. I'm hoping this makes me want to go back to working out and enjoying it rather than finding it a chore and something I'd rather not do lol. Also, this coming week, I'm going to start training for that 5k goal. I'm hoping this goes well and that I'll actually start to like running. If that goes well, I'll even move onto a 10k training program. And if those weren't enough, I'm going to try and throw in my own 30 day challenges. First challenge will be an Ab challenge that I'm gonna be starting on the 6th. I'll post the challenge below if you want to try and do them with me :)

I know it'll be a week of changing things up and juggling, not just with the workouts and work but also school, since it's time to actually do homework and read lol, and a self imposed writing goal. I'm trying to do as much change as I can within this year, not just physically, but also inwardly. And part of that part of my change is leading me to another goal - I want to do more writing. And not just more writing, but to actually complete something I write. I usually just start and do numerous edits, without ever finishing. I found a site with some prompts and I think that's what I'm going to use to start a story or actually take a story I've started and finish for once. I'll see which calls to me. If you want to follow that writing process, I'll probably post that somewhere and keep you posted.

And for more motivation for me, I've been watching some action movies and this is another awesome girl fight scene. And again, with scenes like this, I just want to go hit the gym and kick butt lol :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...
