so last night, I rolled over onto my stomach mid sleep, and woke up due to my abs being so so so sore. Jessica and I did our work out two days ago, and still my abs are unfire. Tonight I had to work late, so I was unable to make stacys work out, but I more then made up for it at the gym, I started my work out with 30 minutes on the stair master, did a 45 minute virtual cycling class, and then did 10-15 minutes of abs. I thought I hated ab work outs the most, and then I tried spin. My butt hurts sooooo much, that I'm not sure its something I will do again, but it is definitely a grey work out.
so today Stacy had us work out on our own, because jess and I both were looking for an earlier work out then usual. She send us a text with what we should do, an how long we should do each exercise for. upon receiving the text, jessica responded with "thats it" and I was a little surprised at how simple it seemed as well. let me tell you something.... we were wrong, it was super intense, and I am very happy that jess and I were able to Skype with one another and get it done. Alone, I most likely would of taken a million breaks, and prob half assed some of the harder parts (jump squats). this work out took us a little over a half hour, and was deff on par, if not harder then some of the work outs we do with Stacy.
so today was the moment of truth, as to how I have progressed over a little less then a month, and although I did have results, not the best of results, but results non the less. it is actually very motivating, and makes me want to make sure that this month, I do everything in my power to stick to my diet as best as I can, because my results could have been even better.
Measurments weight: 181 to 175 chest: 43.5 to 43 waist: 45 to 43.5 thigh: 27 to 26 calve: stayed at 15 biceps: 12-11 today after work I went shopping, and picked up nothing but healthiness for the week, and am going to do everything in my power to cut out any temptations. meal prep has deff made it easier for me to eat better, but I have been going down to NYC a lot lately, and I know forusre when down there, I do not eat the best, so I a going to have to figure out a way to bring food with me if and when I go down to visit my family this coming month. so the work outs with stace, are deff getting harder. As much as I hate it in the moment, I love that she is trying to push us so hard. Today at one point I felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest, but I know tonight I am going to sleep like a baby. With in the last few work outs, I've noticed that my core is most certainly my biggest work on, and I am determined to strengthen it. Simple exercises, that I think in my head shouldn't be difficult, are very challenging to me, so I am join to do my best to work on my core not only with stacy, but also on my own.
so todays work out, was most certainly the hardest work out that we have had so far, I thought the crab walking was super hard. In the middle of our work out realized, this is why people have personal trainers... no one in their right mind, would be walking around their apartment in squat position while their legs felt like they wanted to fall off. but the ending of tonights work out, was definitely the hardest. I absolutely have noooooo strength in my abs, anywhere. I struggled the whole work out, and realized that I really need to focus on that area, not only with stacy, but on my won as well. I have a longgggg way to go clearly.
so today mainly spent my evening meal prepping for the week, I am in the process of making turkey burgers, with veggies ( sweet potatoes, and broccoli), grilled chicken salads, and cutting up peppers to put in my egg white omelets. cooking for the week is definitely a lot more challenging then I thought it would be, but it does intact make snacking, less likely. I often get bored of eating the same foods all the time, but I am trying my best to get used to it, this journey has kinda started off on a slow start, so far Ive lost about 4-6 lbs depending on the day, but I really want to see more results, which means I need to not only kick it up a notch with my self work outs, but I need to realllyyyyy stick to eating as healthy as possible, because I want to get more results.
so as of lately, I have been feeling a little more so sluggish then usual. But I was able to drag my butt back to the gym. I am not sure if its the winter blues trying to kick in, or if its just me being lazy, but work out has been extra hard lately, its been taking a lot more effort, the get myself motived. Whatever it is, I need to cut it out, because its not going to help me reach my goal, this coming week, I have a full week booked with work outs not only with Stacy, but with some classes at the gym, so hopefully it becomes much easier.
so last nights work out with stacy I had to miss, due to a prio engagement, but this morning I woke up bright and early, and had my butt at the gym by 8:30 am. This if you know me will come as a shock, because weekend days usually means me nursing a hangover, and or sleeping till like noon. But it actually feels great to have gotten up, and made the most of my morning. at the gym I stuck to mostly cardio because I am still very sore from my work out earlier in the week were I did a zillion squats, but It felt great to be running, and I am moving slowly towards my goal of being able to run 3 miles straight.
so tonight Stacy had something important to do, so our work out wasn't via Skype. Instead she sent me a list of things to do, how many of each to do, or how long I should spend doing it. Jess and I had plans to do it together, but I was running late, so instead of skyping with jess to work out, I dragged one of my friends Ioni to my house after work, and had her do it with me. I have realized that when working out with someone I am more likely to put forth so much more effort, so I am super happy that she joined me. Ioni loved the work out as well and also has decided that burps are the hardest thing she has ever done in LIFE. No matter how many times you do them, they still suck!!!!!!
so I've come to learn that meal prep, honestly is key. normally at work, eating healthy isn't that hard of an issue, except on the occasionally day where stress makes me wish I had some chocolate, or a reason to get up from my desk and not work. making sure I have the proper snacks, ex: apples, carrots, peanut butter, all make snacking at work not the end of the world. and boyyyy was today super stressful at work. normally after a long stressful day, like today the last thing I honestly want to do is come home and cook dinner. so coming home to food already ready, just waiting to heated up, made my usual choice of ordering out, not even come to mind this evening.
