Piyo day 8

Piyo Day 8 = SWEAT! I couldn't get up off the floor at the end for a sec there, lol 
I'm starting to get way better at push-ups though. So quickly! I'm shocked, I honestly thought I would just never be able to do them! And I was mostly ok with that...... lol 

I hadn't noticed the first time through this one but she references runners a lot in this workout! If any of my runner friends hadn't considered this before, you should take a peek! 

And now, to move a crap load of stuff downstairs so we can have the carpet replaced. Yippeeeeeew! ;)

6 months, 3 weeks, 2 days of changing my life!

Day 3 of 60 -- PIYO

1. Post workout shakeology: vegan chocolate, frozen mango, & water. Plain yogurt with peanut butter & vanilla extract. Plus the culprit behind my embarrassing outing today: sautéed broccoli. lol

2. Another shake, I hadn't eaten ALL day!!! Vegan chocolate again with banana & water  

3. Spinach & 2 eggs (more like 1, Ev chowed with me)

4. Plain yogurt with vanilla extract & peanut butter 

5. Celery with peanut butter 

6. Cucumber slices, frozen peaches, Ezekiel cinnamon raisin toast with peanut butter. 

I had WAY too much peanut butter today!! But, better than the other garbage I avoided. I'm ok with it. :)

Short 2 veggies again! I need a REAL shopping trip & to plan better. 

Day 3 = define: upper body. It's such a relaxing workout but effective! My rear is sore tonight..... lol Only 18 minutes, too! Love.

Piyo day 3!

We have a play date with (hopefully) new friends today! People we haven't met yet. My social anxiety kicks into high gear before these type of outings! But, it's part of the Mom job. 
I did Piyo Define: Upper Body really quick this morning. It's only 18 minutes! Perfect for a busy day. I even broke a sweat! Why does that surprise me? lol These programs are designed awesomely! 
I'm drinking my shakeology, hopping in the shower & we're outta here. Late as usual.....  

PS. No shoes or sports bra needed again! #BOOM

3 day refresh!!!!!!!!!

Oooooooh, look what arrived yesterday! This is going to give Rob a much needed system reboot after the last month or so of garbage eating & drinking! He's going to be ready to rock Body Beast next week! 

Excuse the little helpers hands, lol They all want to try anything new that arrives. 

He's going to start it Friday because he sadly has to go to Michigan for a funeral. His oldest friend lost his father this week. So, he's not even going to try while he's gone & helping his friend deal with his loss. 

Piyo day 2!

Piyo Day 2 = define: lower body. Short one! But, it still felt effective! My legs were definitely shaking! 
I could have done Upper like she suggested as well today but the little fellas were having a scream fest that I had to referee after just the 20 minutes! lol 
This is my first time working out with Chalene. I like her! She's very clear about avoiding injuries & doing moves properly.  

And seriously ladies, no shoes or sports bra AGAIN! I love this workout!!!! 

I'm finding myself gravitating toward elastic waist pants. Comfort! Thankfully we haven't had to go anywhere the last couple days, lol I need to break out of this! 

I've been drinking way more water plus sticking with the nutrition plan (for one whole day, lol) so hopefully I'll start feeling more comfortable in my skin again soon! :)

Hip Hop Abs

So, I decided to shake things up today since I'm switching to Piyo on Monday. I bought Hip Hop Abs during the big sale last month & thought it'd be fun to try something new but still with Shaun T! 

Holy moly. That was NOT the Shaun T that I know! lol it was fun & I broke a sweat but I spent quite a bit of time giggling, too. :-O lol

It was cool that Tania was his modifier then, too!  

Seeing 'Million Dollar Body' was pretty funny! Especially because I just recently watched Carl's video from Summit about failures & he mentioned MDB. 

Now, onto getting things done today!  I'm having a really hard time getting a routine going with everyone gone & the house still not unpacked. I did a bunch in the sunroom yesterday & a bunch in the dining room today. But, it's still mass chaos around here! Must have patience, must have patience. ;) 

Final workout

Final workout at the temp apartment! So excited to get our new workout space setup at the house!! :):):)

Moving madness.

We're gearing up for our 6th move in 4 years (including 2 temp apartments) with our 3 children. 

The house in NY is getting ready to close in a week -- fingers & toes crossed it goes through as planned! It had one showing, was on the market for a week & sold! Too easy to be true, right!? lol 

The house we're buying in PA has to pass FHA inspection & we won't close till mid June. As we sit in our 3rd floor temp apartment, that seems like FOREVER away!!! A neighbor asked us to run around less the other day because his mom lives below us. I felt horrible & we're doing what we can. But, we have 3 little boys! 3 homeschooled boys so we're here a lot, too. 

We'll be returning to our old house for the final move soon & this is what we'll look like (minus the dog & add a kid, lol). :)

Pure insanity!!!!! Thankfully we're getting really good at this moving thing. We have MUCH less stuff than we did the first time & we've gotten better relocation packages each time (this is the 3rd actual relo). 

First time = self move. Never do this. Ever! lol 

Second time = us pack, movers haul. Still sucked! Exhausting, especially with littles running around & husband gone ahead of us to start work. 

Third time = movers pack & haul. Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about!! If you had asked me 5 moves ago though!? I would not have been cool with strangers touching our stuff. Now? I'm SO excited not to have to pack another box! lol 

I'll keep you updated on how reality of it goes though. We're trying to sell excess belongings from our new state which is tricky because everyone will have to meet us in the old state during the 3 days we're moving out. Sounds complicated!
