Make Saturday Count

Holy bananas!  Up at 5:30 to get P90x3 The Warrior workout in.  Then suited up for the Florida cold (it felt like 48 when I stepped out) and hit the road for 3.1 miles walking - training for 1/2 in February.  I was planning on trying for 6.2 miles - however my legs started cramping. I was pushing through it and then I remembered I have the Jingle Bell 2 miler tonight.  NO good to push now and not have a god race tonight.  So I Co ceded and stopped at 3.1 miles to warm up and get ready to take the little man for a birthday surprise.
#noexcuses get out there and make this Saturday count!

To Accomplish something you must first...

To Accomplish something you must first decide to try!!!

Day 5 p90x3 CVX - cardio with weight! Whew now that was a hard workout.  You could feel your muscles fatiguing while the cardio was making you feel tired!!!

Needless to say it took me longer to recover and get ready for work today!  I'm glad today is Friday!!!  I still have the weekend workouts ahead of me with my 1/2 marathon training on top of Saturday's workout, but #noexcuses!  I've got this!!

So who is ready for Christmas?  I still have some wrapping to do, other wise I am ready to go!!!

Remember you choose - decide to try!

Challenge yourself!

P90x3 Day 4 - The Challenge: 30 min of Pull ups/chin ups and push ups.  Pick your numbers of how many before had and hit that number for each round. Holy buckets!!  Challenge yourself and this workout kicks your butt.

Today I had to send my buddy some extra superhero vibes - she had surgery today. And yet she continues to smile and encourage me to keep push.  If you haven't checked out her page yet, please check it out and tell her I sent you. Hope-for-Jocelyn

Tomorrow is Friday!!  Tomorrow we will hit Day 5 of P90x3.  I am loving this program!!! I feel like I am getting an awesome workout in only 30 minutes and I feel like I'm getting results already.  Non-scale victories!!!

Shout out what State you are in - either here in the comments or in any of the pages that linked you here.   Have a great night and make it an amazing Friday.

Keeping it real - and going uncomfortable

Alright I so did not want to get up today - too many late nights in a row that have kept my brain buzzing through the night.  However the streak is still alive - Day 17 in the books!!!  No excuses is the way I am living.

"If your sick of staring over, stop quitting!" - Autumn Calabrese

I have take this quote to heart and I am living it.  What progress will I make if I keep letting my frustrations get to me.

P90x3 Yoga was the name of the game this morning.  LOVED IT!! as you can tell from how relaxed I am in the second picture. :)

Another awesome thing happened this morning - I saw some definition in my arms - I mentioned it to my husband thinking maybe it was just wishful thinking - nope he saw it too!!! woot woot!!!

Ok so what did I mean by going uncomfortable  - no I was not talking about wearing clothes that are too tight!!!  I meant push your comfort zone to make you better at what ever you are try to succeed at.  Last night I was the "presenter" for our team call.  I took some training over the weekend and they asked me to give my summary and tips from it.  I was nervous - I tend to speak really, really fast when I'm nervous or excited and I was both nervous and excited.  But I did it.  Afterwards I felt great! Felt like what I shared was valuable and that I kept my speech speed at normal rate!!! LOL I know not necessarily something people generally worry about.

Remember No Excuses and make your goals and reach your goals!

Before Yoga

After Yoga

Be goofy

Don't be afraid to be goofy and have fun!!! As you can see from my picture below I was kissing my bottle of Beach Body Performance Recovery.  I so needed it today.  Even better - it is liquid chocolate that helps my fitness not hinders it.  Woot Woot!!!

Today was day 2 of P90x3 - Agility.  Brought many memories back for my days in Soccer.  Especially the hell weeks.  Thank my stars it was only 30 minutes - and tomorrow is Yoga!!! My heart was racing and I was sweating and it was a kick butt workout, but I'm glad I don't have to repeat it again multiple times a day or even again this week!!!

On top of that I woke up in a not very nice mood - didn't matter what I did I was just in a funk.  30 minutes with Tony Horton and he kicked that attitude problem right out the window.  The rest of my day was so much better because of it.

Remember there are so many side benefits to having a daily workout.  Yes the weight loss is nice.  The inches lost is a great thing.  The cardiovascular improvements are incredible - especially if the numbers your doctor is watching are changing for the better.  However, your mood is healthier, your relationships with others is better, and our outlook on life changes for the better. We often forget to count these things in why daily fitness is good for us.

Find something you love, or can at least stick with and start your streak - how long can you go?
Day 16 right here!!  Lets go who is with me - give me a shout at your streak! RFit4Life

Pushing it to the next level

Here we go!!! P90x3!!!

I love, love, love 21 day fix - but I know that if I am going to keep improving then I need to push myself.  Not that 21 day fix was easy by any means, but my body was getting use to it and I could feel my self start to go in to routine mode.  

After talking to some people who had done P90x3 I knew that it would be ok to move forward with this even with both my ACLs being repaired.  (I'm very careful about my knees, because I do not want to go through that again!).

So today started the p90x3 journey.  90 days of extreme 30 min workouts!  I made it through the first workout.  There are some things in there I cannot do, yet - but I can't wait for the day when I say look where I am now!!!

Never Miss a Monday!!!

Let me know who else is ending this year strong, and kicking butt right into the new year!

don't be afraid to be goofy

Making Memories

My future step-son-in-law and husband's first NFL football game!!! Loved passing on the tradition of making memories.  It was so great to take the bus over and back.  Plus side the future step-son-in-laws team won.

No worries #noexcuses is still in affect - streak #day14 is still still alive. 21 day fix yoga.  Today was the last day of round 5 of 21 day fix.  I lost 3 pounds and 8.5 inches.  I am very very happy with these results.  

Tomorrow starts an exciting new chapter in my workout adventure P90x3!   I'm excited for this 90 day adventure, and a little worried how sore I will be and my knees will hold up.  I will let you all know.

Happy Sunday!
