W.O.T.D. ~ 01.03.13

Hey there! So below is my workout for yesterday. I'm going to be REALLY good the next 6 weeks because I'm partcipating in two challenges that end on Valentine's Day.

The first is Tone It Up's Love Your Body challenge which started January 1. Check it out here.

And then I'm hosting a 30-day Shakeology challenge - woop woop! Just replace one meal a day with Shakeology for 30 days and get moving. Your workouts can be whatever you like whether it is a Beachbody program (and we have some great packages that include the workout program along with a bag of Shakeology at a DISCOUNT!) OR you go to your gym, get moving outside...whatever you want! JUST MOVE! We are starting this challenge on Monday, January 14. My hubby will be doing the challenge with me so hopefully your sweetie will join you! Order your ShakeO here.

So after all that are you sitting there in anticipation for what my workout was?! Well here ya go...

After two days of running intervals with the Tone It Up chicas my groin and hip flexors were sooorrreee. So in the A.M. I did the Sunset workout from TIU.

Followed by some short Tara Stiles yoga.

For my P.M. workout I had planned on going to the gym to do another cardio circuit from TIU but my legs still hurt. So I went home and did this yoga video from Tara Stiles. It was wonderful...you should try it out!

Oh hot dang...I almost forgot to mention that I'm also doing Chalene Johnson's 30-Day Challenge. Yesterday's assignment was to come up with 10 goals that I'd like to accomplish in the next year. So here ya go...BA BAM!

1. I wear a size 6 comfortably.
2. I am a life coach.
3. I am DEBT FREE!
4. I practice my meditation/spirituality everyday.
5. I quit my J.O.B.
6. I am a Diamond Beachbody coach.
7. I make $1500 per week.
8. I vacation 2 - 3 times per year.
9. I have a good relationship with food.
10. I am a teacher of A Course In Miracles.

So what are your goals for the year?! Leave them in a comment below...

Till tomorrow...

It's Christmas Eve Y'all!

Yippee! Only thing is that it doesn't feel like it's Christmas. I guess cause here in Texas it ain't cold and the fact that I work today and the day after Christmas makes it not feel like a holiday either. Oh well! As long as the kids have fun...right?!

Any who...so I've been feeling icky because I've been eating out a lot and really not paying attention to what I'm eating. SO with that said I'm taking the plunge and starting my No Grains, No Cheese, No Sugar challenge EARLY...I'm starting on Wednesday. Yep, that's right the day after Christmas. I might even throw in a couple of days of a Shakeology cleanse in there...not sure just yet.

Let me know if you're interested in joining me on the challenge. I got the idea from one of my friends, Healthy Hits the Spot. If you have any questions about the challenge just ask or you can even check out her site. She has a link titled 6-8 Challenge under Categories that discusses what she ate and bought at the store. I'm going to try to post my meals here as much as possible as well.

I'm also going to start hitting the gym again. I went with my hubby on Friday night for a "couples happy hour" and it felt good. There is just something about working out around other people that motivate you to do more.

This is what I plan on doing for my workouts:

• Everyday possible...I'll jog with Bud first thing in the morning and do yoga or stretching afterwards
• Strength training - 4 days / week (I'm going to follow Jamie Eason's workouts from her LiveFit trainer program for the first 4 - 5 weeks OR I'll workout with my hubby or son and follow what they do)

SO, are ya with me?!

Have a GREAT Christmas folks...

By the way...I'm starting a 30-Day Shakeology Challenge on January 7th. All you have to do is replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology and workout. Your workout is whatever you choose whether it is a Beachbody program or your own. Doesn't matter. This challenge is about improving our HEALTH! We'll focus on fitness in February - woop woop! Order your bag of ShakeO here.

W.O.T.D. ~ 09.11.12

Well, yesterday I didn't wake up early to workout even though I knew that I had a lot to do after work. I noticed that my day wasn't as pleasant as it is when I start it off with a good sweat. Finally listening to my body!

So I got home and I was in a super rush to do day 6 of Turbo Fire. It was Fire 30 followed by Stretch 10. Let me tell ya that I love Stretch 10...feels so good to do after a sweat fest!!!

I forgot to mention that I went home during lunch to start dinner. It was another crockin' day! I chose to go with IowaGirlEat's version of Tomato Sauce. Man, when I came home it smelled so delish...mmmm. So while it was still cooking I made the noodles (some whole wheat kind from HEB) and I did my Turbo.

After this workout I decided my dinner was going to be a Shakeology! I had my fav Tropical Strawberry Shakeology with a cup of Trop 50 OJ and some ice. It was gooood ;) And then I jetted to a meeting I had for a football committee I volunteered for.

The meeting finished a little after 8:30pm and I met my son at the gym. We WERKED our chests. I really have a great time working out with him (he's my personal trainer - ahaha)...we laugh at each other and he really pushes me to try to keep up.

We finished up close to 10pm and I went home to make a protein shake...because remember...protein is like muscle fertilizer (per Jaime Eason). I just blended my Gaspari Myofusion Protein Cinnamon Roll with some water, Glutamine, and ice.
