Blues

These last two weeks have been horrible.  I have no motivation lately.  I haven't been able to sleep and I haven't been eating much at all.  I think I'm just in a funk. 

I am about to take the plunge and order LES MILLS PUMP.  I just can't decide if I should get the basic package or the deluxe.  I'm thinking if I get the basic package then it will be easier for me to incorporate Turbofire (for cardio) and BBL (lower body toning).

Week 2 of TF/BBL Hybrid - Almost complete!

Holy smokes!  Has it really been almost 2 weeks since I updated?!  My personal life has kind of been hectic. My oldest child was being the target of bullies at her school over the fact that a boy that a few girls have liked since 6th grade likes her instead of them.  Their main complaint:  "It's not fair because we have liked him for so long"!  It ultimately culminated in one girl convincing her friends to write letters to this boy telling him how awful he was for liking my daughter and telling him awful things about her and then surrounding the two of them during break time and screaming at them.  That resulted in what I hope was my final call to the counselor.  So far I think things have quieted down.  But so yeah that's where I've been.

I'll admit I was having a tough time getting motivated this week but I still pulled through.

I had forgotten how much I LOVE Fire 45EZ from Turbofire!  I'm afraid I'm not incorporating the BBL workouts in as much as I should - maybe because TF Tone and TF Sculpt don't show up too often?  My knee is still bothering me so I'm still trying to take it easy on it but still push myself.  Still I NEED to figure out a way to get more BBL workouts in.  Fire 45, Fire 45 EZ and Fire 55 EZ show up a lot so I'm either going to need to suck it up and try and fit Leandro's Secret Weapon or Bum Bum Rapido.  My bum bum still isn't where I want it to be... YET!  :)

In other news, my size 6 jeans are DEFINITELY getting looser!  I find myself having to pull them up more often than not!  :D  The thought of possibly being able to fit into a size 4 pair of jeans is just MIND BOGGLING!! 

Food wise - not too bad but not that great.  My older kids are so picky.  I just need to get organized and come up with a meal plan that will fit this family. 

Keep your fingers crossed that this middle school drama is over and I can get back to posting regularly!  :)

Day 180 Photos!

I love the days where I get to take my photos and measurements!

In month 3, I lost about 2-3 lbs, .5 inch from my waist, .5 inch from my hips and that was it. :( However my size 6 jeans are starting to feel baggy around the hips/thighs... I guess maybe I'm firming up?

So overall after three months: 5-6lbs lost, 1.5 inches from my waist, 1 inch from my hips, 1.5 inches from my chest, .5 inch from my right arm, 1 inch from my right thigh and a little over an inch from my left thigh.


Wanna see something impressive?!

Brazil Butt Lift Pencil Test...

I PASSED!!!

Oh my goodness!  I didn't think I would!  I tried a regular pencil and a skinny pencil and both fell!!  Brazil Butt Lift really does work!

Catching up.

Wednesday ended up being a Rest Day.  I was dealing with a few personal issues involving one of my kids.

Thursday - Fire 30 plus Abs Rapido.  My knee was still bothering me so I didn't do Leandro's Secret Weapon.

Today - Fire 55EZ.  <3 <3  The Husband called via Skype so that delayed my workout by an hour.  Then I received a call from the school re: personal issues involving one of my kids resulting in me having to email the school about said issues.  Another hour passed. Finished up 55EZ and relished my Chocolate Shakeology.  Oh how I have missed thee! 

Tomorrow I have Fire 30 scheduled again.  Hopefully my knee will start cooperating.  It doesn't hurt to jump but I'm taking it easy on the twisting.  I'm still not sure what I did to it thought.  :(

TF BBL Hybrid Day 2

Today I did my first HIIT workout in over three months.  HIIT 15.  Ow!  Ow!  Ow!  I followed up with Leandro's Secret Weapon.  I'm not sure if I pushed myself too hard but my left knee has been bothering me all day. 

Tomorrow is a scheduled Turbofire Rest day.  I'd rather NOT rest but if my knee is still bothering me, I will take it easy.  If it feels fine, I might sneak in Rio Extreme.

I'm so anxious to take my measurements and photos but I always do that every four weeks so I have to wait until Monday.  I was totally checking myself out today and I think my waist looks slimmer and my size 6 jeans are feeling looser even though I just washed them!

Moving Right Along

The last three weeks have been a mess.  I haven't been consistently working out and I think the problem is a lack of a WOWY schedule for the Maximum Results Brazil Butt Lift workouts.  I think I am one of those people that NEEDS a piece of paper or a person to tell me, "On this day, you do this..." and so on.

I decided to go ahead with my TurboFire & Brazil Butt Lift Hybrid.  There are posts about being able to "make your own hybrid" in WOWY but I can't seem to figure it out.  I went ahead and selected the TurboFire schedule.  I will supplement and/or substitute with Brazil Butt Lift as needed.  For example:  I really did not prefer the Tone 30, Sculpt 30 or Core 20 Turbofire Workouts.  I plan to substitute BBL as follows:

TF Tone 30 -> Bum Bum (35 min)
TF Sculpt 30 -> High & Tight (35 min)
TF Core 20 - > Tummy Tuck (15 min)

On days where Fire 30 is followed by Stretch 10 I plan on supplementing Secret Weapon and Abs Rapido.
On days where Fire 45 or Fire 45EZ are followed by Stretch 10 or nothing at all, I plan on supplementing Secret Weapon and/or Abs Rapido.

The only snag I've come across is where to fit Rio Extreme.  Maybe alternate Fire 55EZ every other week?

Today I was scheduled to do Fire 30.  I did it and had forgotten how intense it is!  I used 2lb ankle weights on each leg this time.  I plan on purchasing some hand/wrist weights too.  Afterwards, I did Abs Rapido.  I was going to do Leandro's Secret Weapon but ran out of time.

My other plan is to wake up around 5:30'ish so I can workout uninterrupted.  The only flaw in my plan is that I can NEVER sleep.  A lot of times I'm up until 2am and I get up at 6:30.  It's not 10pm and I am actually exhausted.  I'd like to go to bed around this time every night but it's usually after 10pm that I FINALLY get some peace and quiet to do things for myself.
