Proud wife brag: Body Beast

I'm so proud of Rob!!!! He started Body Beast tonight! I'm really excited to see his progress as he gets even stronger! 

He's so sore after day 1, LOL 

Left is him before 3 day refresh!

Right is him 2 weeks (ish) later! 

The right was taken tonight as his 'before' for BB but it shows his 13 pound loss on the refresh wasn't just temporary. :):):):)

And, here's the little fellas sitting out front waiting patiently for Daddy to get home tonight. They knew he was starting body beast & they all wanted in on that action! :):):)

My photo journal

So, yesterday I had someone call me out on Instagram for 'eating the same thing every day'. Kinda funny, kinda weird to think someone was looking that closely at my days, lol 

But, kinda true too! The funny part is, when I AM eating the same things, it tends to mean I'm on track with my nutrition! It means I have my veggies, protein, fruit & healthy fats fully stocked up in my kitchen & I'm able to eat what my body needs. 

My photo journal started 7+ months ago because I was on Weight Watchers new Simple Start program & a lot of my friends were curious about it. So, I shared my days with the breakdown of what each item was for others to get a feel for it. 

Then, it became an accountability thing & REALLY helped me to have the pictures of my days (good & bad!) and to put them all together at the end of each day. It's just another piece to what's working for me. That's all! :) 

Plus, I LOVE taking pictures. I need to backup my iPhone but I pull pictures from waaaaay back when I first got it in December so I'm afraid to dump them off! But, it's super full so it's likely time before I run out of space. lol 

Piyo week 4 day 4

Can you SEE the sweat dripping off my nose? (and every other blemish because #extremecloseup)

Week 4 day 4 = DRENCH! First time. It was longer than I expected but it was fun! Sweaty intense fun. lol 

Next time, I WILL have a towel handy! My hands kept slipping on my mat.

Week 4 day 3 of Piyo -- full body blast! Second time around, still modifying some but I can already feel a difference in my strength. Still a killer workout! lol 

I knocked it out first thing, too. The little fellas had breakfast while I worked out. They made some mega messes but, they let me do my thing. I consider that a good day! ;)

Piyo week 4 day 2

Week 4 day 2 of Piyo = hardcore on the floor (option was that one or Core)! That was an ugly pitiful workout on my part but, it's done! 

We had a play date this morning then grocery shopping & lunch out. So, I had to put it off because we also woke up late! Then the little fellas were in crappy moods from mini naps in the car. #excuses 

But, they did join me in the beginning! I absolutely love that!! All 3 of them, too. 'Mom, like this!?' as they're doing the warmup & making sure their form is correct. So cute. :)  

Then they went outside to play -- one baby face planted on the driveway & the other fell out of big bro's John Deere. Lots of screams, a little blood but all was ok! I finished up my last 10 minutes while big bro administered first aid (they're covered in band aids, lol)

Tomorrow I WILL do my workout first thing! This putting it off thing is for the birds.

Piyo week 4 day 1

Week 4 (already!?) day 1 = strength intervals! And you know what? I'm WAY stronger already & that was only my second time through! #BOOM :) 

I wasn't feeling my workout this morning so I put it off. It's rainy, chilly (63!) & the little fellas were cuddly this morning so we watched a movie. I waited till this afternoon and when I finally did it, that workout flew by! Still loving Piyo! Even though the strength calendar is making sure I get strong...... lol

Nutrition

I tend to comment a lot on my daily food pictures about how I've done that day. But, I don't think I've ever really gotten into what that means. If I have, feel free to skip this post & let me know I'm already repeating stories in my old age, lol 

For many years, I did Weight Watchers. Every single food had a number. And I knew that number! I can confidently say for almost everything! It was rare that I needed to look something up. 

What I didn't know, is how each food affected me. YES, you could eat anything & everything you like so long as you had the points in your day for it. 

I used to eat microwave popcorn with butter flavored spray oil on it. Holy chemical shit storm! But, it saved my points for important things. Like, candy or booze. 

While I was pregnant with the twins & on strict bed rest, I started watching documentaries. I learned about factory farming & GMO's & organics & I fell into the rabbit hole. So. Much. Information! 

I started small. Or tried to. Once I knew what I knew, I wanted EVERYTHING changed ASAP! Our food, our personal care products, our cleaning supplies! Everything! I couldn't even process the amount of chemicals we were consuming in every which way! 

So, when I was ready to start losing the weight I gained from the twins pregnancy, I went back to what I knew worked for me in the past. My coach says something that recently struck me as sooooo very true! 'If it works so well, why are you doing it again?' Ouch! 

Now, I'm not bad mouthing WW. Not at all. It HAS helped me lose weight! But, I didn't learn a damn thing aside from how many points I could eat. I didn't learn about food. I learned about low cal, fat free, overly processed, chemical 'food'. Could I have done better? Of course. Their power foods list is basically clean eating! I didn't know that then. I just knew the points value for everything. 

NOW, when I say I had a pretty good day -- that means I've eaten clean & balanced. Enough veggies (I was WAY under eating), enough protein (also under doing it), not too much fruit (I can way overindulge there), not too many carbs (as a vegetarian, I was struggling there too) & just enough healthy fats (is a jar of peanut butter realllllly overdoing it?? lol). I've learned that when I overdo it in sweets or overly processed foods, I'm going to feel like crap!  And that's something I used to feel all. the. time. #mindblown

And, if the food I share is made in my kitchen, that means it's organic or at least non GMO. Do we eat non organic & GMO's? Unfortunately, yes..... when we go out to eat or have pizza. GMO's are EVERYWHERE!! I would LOVE to find & support a local organic restaurant! But, they're not easy to find. Anyone in the Pittsburgh or Detroit area (yes, two different states, lol) know of any, please send me the name so we can check them out!! :) #supportlocal

Piyo week 3 day 7

Week 3 Day 7 of Piyo. 

Whooooooooo! These slides are NO JOKE!!

Handful of things from this mornings workout: 

1. I needed a little Shaun T to tackle this one. #FOCUS

2. Sports bra & shoes were also needed for this mornings workout. 

3. Rob saw me using the slides as he walked out the door & said 'don't hurt yourself!' :-O lol

4. My $5 mirrors from Home Depot are fun house mirrors. I look CRAZY in them! I know it's the mirrors because I have a full size decorative mirror that I look normal in, lol

5. Extra weight of a 2 year old definitely increases the intensity. And to think, his weight plus what I weigh now used to equal my own body weight! Let that thought settle a minute. 

6. If you do not have these slides yet, GET THEM! 

Full Body Blast was so much fun! I'm shaking from the workout but I can not wait till I can master all those moves! :)

Week 3 day 3 of Piyo = Core. How are my abs so sore from Buns??? LOVE that good pain that says, 'nicely done, you worked some muscles that needed it!' Yeah baby! :):):)

Today is supposed to be food prep day but it's going to have to wait till later because I forgot we have plans! 

I did my workout first thing, the little fellas are doing some schoolwork now (their choice!) & we're going to a play date with (hopefully) new friends at noon. AT AN ICE CREAM SHOP!! Oh my. 

Everyone knows my nutrition hasn't been stellar but I'm trying to fight my way back on the clean eating wagon because I KNOW I feel so much better when I fuel my body properly. Ice cream will NOT derail me today! I have spinach in my shakeology so I've already knocked out a veggie serving & I'll pack some snacks as we run out the door. Wish me luck! :)

We're headed to visit family in Michigan -- I hadn't even done any laundry until this morning!! #megaprocrastinator

I need to grocery shop once we get there. I packed misc snacks but we have no fresh veggies! Eek!

Piyo day 10

Piyo Day 10 = define: upper body! Rob joined me tonight but bailed with 9 minutes to go. Just walked right off! lol 

I have rug burns on my knees! I must have done something weird on Core yesterday. Ouch! 

Tomorrow is a rest day but we'll be taking a road trip! And, packing my workouts (and food!). :) 

Tough man.

We had another play date this morning AND Rob forgot his lunch again today! So, my workout didn't get done first thing. 

It's already 3PM, Rob just finished up the 3 day refresh so I asked him if he'd like me to wait & he can join me. He does! 

So, I asked O (6) if he's going to workout with us. His response? Maybe if you were doing Body Beast but I think I need something harder than even that. :-O Schooled by the tough man, lol

I need to prep my days in advance! I'm sure I'll pay for my failure to plan on STATurday. 

Day 9 = Core! That was a tough one that I'm already feeling tonight! lol

Piyo day 9

Piyo day 9 = core! Wowza, I'm going to feel that tomorrow! 

Funny thing is, the cool down feels a whole lot like the rest of the workout to me?! lol 

Rob is on day 3 of the refresh & he FORGOT his stuff today!! So, me & the little fellas had to run his stuff up to him as soon as we got up this morning. Threw us off a little bit but we got some other stuff done, too. 

And we weren't gone long enough that my workout turned into crazy town...... lol 

Day 2 of the 3 Day Refresh -- husband approved

Robs day 2 went smoothly & I made sure to ask when he called on his way home from work what he wanted for dinner. And, had it waiting when he got here. :) 

He saved his vanilla fresh until a little after dinner so he'd have something to snack. It helped! 

He stepped on the scale again tonight & he's now down 11 pounds! He was so shocked, said to me 'but, I haven't even done anything!' ..... seriously, the refresh program is setup awesomely! 

Here's his dinner. We didn't have any cauliflower so I doubled up the broccoli. It may have contributed to the next fun fact, lol 

He was shocked by the lack of pooh until it finally hit him tonight. Cleanse in full effect now baby! :-O lol 

Here's day 3 all packed & ready to rock!

Carrots, hummus, sliced tomato in apple cider & olive oil, nectarine, strawberries, vanilla fresh, fiber sweep, & vanilla shakeology! 

I'm going to ask him to write his own review once he's completed the program & we'll include his pictures. :) 

I'll include one more unexpected side effect though -- he's had this nagging cough that he's blamed on allergies. Since starting this??? It's GONE!! :-O

Now, I must pull out the Body Beast program so we can figure out what equipment we still need to gather! We're headed to michigan this weekend (Tigers game with his Mom & spreading my grandmas ashes) so I will say his official start day is MONDAY! For real this time. ;)
