I Fell Off the Wagon......

Boy, am I glad that it's Monday.  This was a hard weekend for me....I completely fell off the wagon.  UGH!  I ate fast food, candy and didn't workout!!!  AHHHH!  It started Friday started night.  I was craving something and went through the McDonalds drive thru!  I haven't had fast food in I don't know how long.  Not a good look.  Of course I felt awful afterwards.  Saturday morning, I was supposed to do my AM workout.  Well, I rushed off and did something else.  Needless to say, I was gone the whole day after that, so no Saturday workout.  And guess what I did again?  FAST FOOD!  YUCK!  I got up yesterday and went to church and had a pretty decent lunch but then snacked the rest of the day - no real meals after that.  I'm sitting here SMH as I think about it.  I'm sharing with you though, to let you know I'm human too!  I make mistakes.  But guess what, I'm dusting myself off and getting back on the wagon. Thank goodness for new days and beginnings.  I just completed 20 mins of interval training.  Then I will do ARX and Chest/Shoulder/Tris this evening.

Happy Monday!

Interval Training

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood!  This morning I decided to switch my workouts and do my interval training in the AM and will do Max Recovery this evening.  I completed 30 mins of interval training that included a variety of different exercises.  I love interval training because it takes that boredom out of a workout and keeps you going throughout the entire time.  Below is my after pic from the interval training. I still have Max Recovery to do which I'm really looking forward to...LOVE Insanity!

Back on the grind.....

So, today was my first day back to my hybrid after my vacation.  As I mentioned before, I did complete some workouts while on vacation but it was great to be back with Shaun T.  And because I was out, I'm repeating week 5.  Today's schedule included Max Interval Circuit and Cardio Abs.  Let's just saw I was drenched.  See my photo below!

Workout Schedule - week of 7/11/11

Since I was out on vacation most of last week but was still able to get some workouts in, I've decided that I am going to re-do Week 5 of my P90x/Insanity Hybrid.  Also, with the fact that I was on vacation and didn't eat great every day at all meals, I've decided that I am going to incorporate some two-a-day workouts.  So, here is what I am committing to this week as far as my workouts.

Bike Ride in Miami

Well today was my last day on vacation in Miami.  Yesterday, I got up to go bike riding and I was moving slow, watching tv and when I headed outside, it was raining!  UGH!  I was so disappointed.  It rained most of the day and by the time it stopped, I wasn't in the mood to go riding.  This morning, I decided to get up bright and early so that I could get it in.  I loved every bit it!  The people that were on the beach exercising were so beautiful. There were so many people that were out there from diverse backgrounds.  As I was riding my bike, I was just smiling looking at all the people out early not making any excuses.  I'm so glad that I was able to get it in.  I love Miami and can't wait to come back!  :)

4th of July workout......

Well....I meant to type this blog yesterday but I was enjoying the day so much with family which is why you are getting this today.  :)  I hope that everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July.  Yesterday as part of my workout I was supposed to do P90x Chest/Shoulder/Tris and Cardio Abs.  I was in somewhat of a funk but decided that I had to do something!  So instead I decided to do 40 mins of interval training.  I completed 2 different workouts.  Can I tell you I was BEAT and dripping with SWEAT!  Oh man.  In the end, I was so glad that I ended up doing something.  I'll make up my workout from yesterday in addition today's workout.  Make sure y'all check on me to make sure that I'm still alive....LOL!  Any who....be on the look out later today for my "How Did I Do" you tube video that'll be about my 4th of July weekend eating habits and workouts.  You can find it at www.youtube.com/1fitmom4life.  Have a great day!
