Day 17 - P90X/Insanity hybrid

Today was D17 of my p90x/insanity hybrid.  All I can say is that my legs are still on FIYAH from my morning workout!  I love it when I can have a burn that lasts ALL DAY long!  It lets me know that I put in some serious work.  The schedule only called for Cardio Recovery but I hadn't done a HIIT workout in a few days so I also added TF HIIT 20.  I still love my TF workouts and try to add them in when I can.  I'm so glad that I did.  In just a few weeks, I'll be taking updated photos for my first 30 days.  Hopefully, I'll see some sort of change that's taken place.  :)

Change in Game Plans....

Well, after 10 days of doing my P90x/TF hybrid, I decided to switch over to complete the P90x/Insanity hybrid.  I decided to change up because I had been doing TF for a couple of months and wanted to give my body and muscles a different routine.  With this change in my workout regimen, I'm also scaling back on my food intake, primarily carbs.  While I will need them as energy to complete my workouts, I'm limiting them as well as removing bread.  Oh BOY....I'm praying, keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed that I can make that work!

Two was Day 2 of the hybrid and I had Plyo Cardio Circuit on deck.  MAN, I forgot at how much you can sweat from the Insanity workouts!  I was completely drenched and LOVED every bit of it.

Looking forward to see what tomorrow brings!

Day 8 - TF/P90X Hybrid

So, today was Day 8 of my TF/P90X hybrid.  Last week I set a goal for myself that I would burn at least 1000 calories in my workouts all week.  Being that today was only Back & Biceps there was no way that I was going to burn 1000 cals.  Well I did burn 1052....woot woot!  I completed back & biceps, 20 mins of tabata (squats, pushups, lunges, situps & burpees) and 55 mins on the Wii Fit.  My back is definitely feeling the workout.  Those corn cob and towel pull ups are NO JOKE!  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll have to look them up or purchase P90X.  :)

On another note, I took my measurements and I'm down 1.2lbs, .25 inches on my waist and .50 inches on my hips in a week.  I'm glad that I still even lost weight considering the weekend I had.  I will have better changes next week.

Days 2 & 3 of P90x/TF Hybrid

I forgot to blog yesterday's workout, so I'm combining it with today's workout.  Day 2 consisted of Ab Ripper X and Fire 30.  I love ARX - great core workout in just 15 minutes!  Instead of doing Fire 30, I decided to step it up and do HIIT 30.  It was the first time I'd done that workout.  I LOVED it.  My max HR reached 180 bpm (96%). The HIIT's were ahhh-mazing!  Hahaha.....Day 3 - today was just shoulder and arms.  I decided to lift heavy today and I feel it.  Which is a a great feeling.  Again, since I'm so use to doing cardio, I wanted to add something to today's workout.  I included the lower ab challenge parts 1 & 2 and took my son and his friends roller skating for their last school skate night.  Boy, I can feel it in my hips.  I'll make sure that I do plenty of stretching tonight so I'm not super sore tomorrow!  Great workout and another day tomorrow.  See you then!

5.16.11 Workout - First Day of TF/P90X hybrid

Today is a new day!  I decided to switch things up a little bit after completing 10 weeks of Turbo Fire.  I love the program, don't get me wrong but I love lifting heavy weights.  So, with that being said, I had been comtemplating doing a TF/P90X hybrid.  I love the energy and cardio in TF and think that the P90X weight portion will be the lifting that I need.  So, today was Day 1 - Chest & Back.  All those pulls up and push ups, I loved it!  Exactly what I was looking for. I felt weird not having cardio on the schedule since I'm use to doing it every day, so I decided to add Cardio X.  Man, I felt GREAT afterwards.  Day 1 is in the bag and I'm looking forward to a mix of abs and cardio tomorrow.  I also completed parts 1 & 2 of the Fit Phatty lower ab challenge. My abs felt awesome and can't wait to see where they land me in the next few weeks.  :)  If you would like to learn more about Fit Phatty or our Phat Camps, comment here or inbox me at phitmom4life@yahoo.com.

Turbo Fire 45 Class Workout

Alright y'all....I posted my turbo fire 45 class workout today on you tube - www.youtube.com/1fitmom4life.  It's just a SMALL segment of Turbo Fire but you get the idea of how intense Chalene can be...WHEW!  I love it, love it, love it!  Check out my transformation here and on my FB fan page - www.facebook.com/1fitmom4life.  Enjoy!

How is Turbo Fire going?

Well I am in Week 4 of my Turbo Fire Transformation.  Things are going great!  Today was HIIT 20 and Sculpt 30.  I continue to love TF and the energy that Chalene brings to class.  She is AMAZING!  On Monday I'm taking my transformation to the next level.  I am going to complete the 5 day inferno plan.  I've heard nothing but great things about the plan. I'm hoping to lose some more weight and inches to help decrease my body fat.  I will provide a daily update of what workout I completed, what foods I ate and how I felt.  On the day after my 5 days, I will provide my overall results and tips learned from the plan. 

I can't wait to share my results.

Turbo Fire Transformation Update

Starting waist - 29.75in
Starting hips - 39in

Day 14

Turbo Fire Transformation

Well....I am two weeks into my Turbo Fire Transformation.  I'm excited to say that I've followed the schedule pretty much to a "T"!  I still have to get today's workout in but will do so after typing this blog.  I just love Chalene's workouts and look forward to them every day.  Tomorrow I will update the blog and FB Fan Page - 1FitMom4Life, with Day 14 pics.  I'm hoping that I can see some type of change.  Check back in tomorrow to see the results.

Results from 3 Shakeology Cleanse

Well, it's hard to believe that the 3 days of my Shakeology Cleanse are over.  The days went by so quickly.  I did have some temptations as I had family in town but stuck to what I wanted to accomplished.  DRUM ROLL please....here are my results:

Starting weight - 152.4lbs / Ending weight - 146.4lbs / down 6lbs
Starting waist - 29.75in / Ending waist - 29.25in / down .5in
Starting hips - 38in / Ending hips - 37.25in / down .75in

A couple of things that I would like to reiterate about the cleanse:
1.  Follow the program to a T and you will see amazing results.
2.  You will have so much energy during the 3 days.
3.  I was still able to workout while on the cleanse.  I'm currently doing Turbo Fire.
4.  Avoid any temptations.  Don't have things in your kitchen that will make you tempted to mess up.  Don't go to the grocery store where there's junk food, etc.

I'm so glad that I was able to share this journey with you. Continue to follow me as I'll be sharing my Turbo Fire transformation next.

Day 3 of Shakeology Cleanse

Well, today is the final day of my 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse.  The last 2 days were a lot easier than I thought.  While I was not tempted too much, I think that the easy way around that is to just stay away from the things that you like.  I had to go grocery shopping and what do you see in the grocery store???  Every and anything that you don't need!  LOL!  Thank goodness I had my list and stuck to it.

Meals were great as usual - 2 cups of teas, 2 pieces of fruit, 3 shakes and a salad with white meat.  The last couple of nights I did chicken but decided to do fish tonight - perch.  It was so good.  Even my husband complimented on how good it tasted.

Energy levels were awesome.  I didn't feel tired in the least bit at any time.  One of the things that amazes me is how, with the few calories that one takes in during the cleanse, your energy levels during the workouts are still great!  I did TF HIIT 15 and Sculpt 30 and didn't miss a beat!  LOVE, LOVE IT!

Well....tomorrow is results day.  See you then!
