I'm Home Again...

With my workout that is! I'm back on Les Mill's Combat, baby! I just did my day 1 workout - Combat 30! And I have to say, I thought I was going to go back to sucking, but I didn't! I'm still not super fast but I didn't die and I somewhat kept up with all those kicks. So I'm taking that as a win. I haven't really done much cardio since I've gotten into lifting, but there's some thing about Combat that makes it awesome. I have that lovely post workout euphoria!

Also, as well as doing that Beachbody challenge once again this year, I've also decided on doing this BPI Best Self 6 Week Challenge. I figure it's a good way to get back into a lifting routine instead of going sporadically as I have been doing lately. The program I chose to get into for this challenge is 12 Week Daily Trainer With Kris Gethin. I chose this one over Jamie Eason's LiveFit because I want and need cardio through out the entire program. When I was on LiveFit, I just kept wanting to add cardio within the first phase. I understand why there's none but I feel like with my build and where I want to go, I need it. Plus I like the routines Kris has; it's a good change and a good way to jump right in lol.

As for diet, I need to get back to it. My mornings start well for the most part food wise but go down hill as the day progresses. I have been slacking off lately in watching what I intake so I'll probably go back to tracking everything to begin with. At least I don't have to tell myself to eat every 2, 3 hours or so since I find that I am usually hungry by then lol. 

I need more sleep. This I know. I just don't get it. I think I need to add melatonin to my supplements to help with this. And speaking of supplements, I need to get back to using them!

Anyway, that's all for now. I have progress pics on my BodySpace (DaniJ715). Myfitnesspal is under the same name as is my IG, where I'll try and do my pics and workout motivations and other things if anyone wants to follow me.

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...
