Workouts 32 – ? Monday So..my weeks have gotten a bit mixed up. Not sure where I am with keeping things up to date. So I’m just going to resume here, even though I might actually be on week 6. Oh well! Today was upbeat strength. I varied somewhere between 5 pounds and 10 lb for the workouts. My knees have been bothering me a lot lately but luckily with this workout I only had to modify the hundred second challenge. Oh and one of the warm ups. I do not want to get on my knees on our living room floor right now because that hurts. I did some…

MM 100: Week 3.
Workouts 21 – 34 Monday I got my workouts in, but barely. Meh. Tuesday I have been crazy tired this week. I can’t quite figure out why. I took a nap yesterday and a nap today! What the heck! It’s getting a bit ridiculous. Wednesday Weigh in: 183.4 to 183.4: No change, which I honestly expected. I had a pretty decent number last week, so I wasn’t really expecting anything this week. But hopefully next week will show another difference. My workouts today were great! I didn’t really want to do them, but when I got home Justin was doing his, so I grabbed my laptop and went in the…

MM 100: Week 2.
Workouts 9 – 20 Monday (9 & 10) That was the most half-assed workout I’ve ever done. Holy crap. I tried working out during lunch because I was working from home and that was an utter failure. I did great for about 10 minutes and then it just kind of petered out. Which means that I am probably going to go back and redo it this evening, because I am so disappointed in myself. And I did. When I got done working, I just “f*** it”, put my shoes back on and hit play…again. That really is why you should just do things right the first time, because if you…

MM 100: Week 1.
First things first… About the Program In case you don’t know what it is, here are some details about the Morning Meltdown 100 (or MM 100) program… It is lead by trainer Jericho, who is one of my favorites! There is a live DJ, whose music I don’t actually like (sorry Jesse!!), so I usually mute or lower the volume and jam out to my own tunes. That keeps me waaay more motivated and pumped up. He is pretty fun to watch though! They are actually numbered 1 through 100 which is a great way to keep track of where you are. I absolutely love that! There are 2 different…

Meal Prep: 01/11/2019
Breakfast Tex Mex Breakfast Lasagna by Mason Woodruff Mason is one of my favorites and I love it when he pops up on my Instagram. I forgot to take pictures as I was making it, but I did crack it back open to take a picture for this. I’m not going to lie, I’ve had a few bites and it’s absolutely delicious!!! I cannot wait for tomorrow morning so I can actually have a slice! Lunch Three Cheese Macaroni Casserole by Beachbody Justin hates broccoli, so I substituted a bag of frozen spinach instead. I also added some baked chicken. I made this normally last week and it was great,…

My Why.
First off, we have a Beachbody on Demand membership and it’s amazing. ‘Nuff said. And if anyone is interested, let me know and I will put you in touch with the best ‘coach’ in the world, Hannah McLeod. In all honesty, I’ve never met her in person. I started following Hannah on Instagram and realized how utterly awesome she was. I now consider her to be a great friend and hopefully I will meet her in real life someday. Now, the point of this… I have officially started the Morning Meltdown 100 program over for the 3rd time..and the final time, at least until I finish it. Third time…

Losing Weight.
Justin told me that if I really want to lose weight, I need to be held accountable from more than just him. When he lost all of his weight, he put it online and recommended I did too. So, here it goes: Height: 5′ 5″ Weight: 170 lbs approx. Size: 14/16 or around 34 My goal: To either be down to 128 lbs or around a size 6 by the end of the year. So now that I’ve put it out there on the internet, let’s see if I can actually do this.

Losing Weight Sucks.
There I said it. Losing weight seriously sucks. It sucks bad. I know everyone tries to make it super positive and motivational and easy, but sometimes…it. just. sucks. Sometimes I don’t want to be positive. Maybe, I just want to let you my inner fat girl and let her fly. So I can sit on my living room floor again with a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi, eating chinese honey chicken and green beans, double chocolate chip cookies from Subway, cheesy breadsticks from Pizza Hut, french fries from Hardees, and popcorn from the local movie theater. Yes. You read that correctly. I used to do that. If I had a really…

Insanity: Week 1.
Day 1 (Monday) Today was the fit test. Yikes. Switch Kicks: 33 Power Jacks: 30 Power Knees: 50 Power Jumps: 20 Globe Jumps: 5 Suicide Jumps: 5 Push-Up Jacks: 3 Low Plank Obliques: 16 I was literally dripping sweat afterwards, which was kind of nice. At least I knew I was doing something for sure. I’m really hoping that I will actually wake up early tomorrow so I can get in the next workout before work. I think that will help me to actually make it through this program, if I can have my evenings open to do other things. Day 2 (Tuesday) Welp, I didn’t wake up at 6…
