Here!

The changes in eating and work-outs limits my time for blogging. I am being diligent with my food journal, work-out schedule and reading about technique. 

Food 

My favorite breakfast is currently 3 egg whites topped with green salsa and 1/2 a cup of pinto beans. two corn tortillas and a cup of fruit. If I have been low on veggies then I will add a cup of spinach to my egg whites. Approx. 250-300 calories

During the week I typically have a cup of oatmeal, a tablespoon of almonds, a tablespoon of raisins and a cup of fresh fruit. Approx. 250-300 calories. 

I try to have my favorite breakfast on weekends. It gives me something to look forward to after a really big work-out like today. Both breakfasts are also high in fiber since I have been making an effort to be within the recommended 20-25g of fiber a day.





Work Outs

The schedule is almost on track. I have not missed any of the body-for-life trainings. The 12-week (with extensions) challenge is on! Yes, I realize it will now be during a 15-week span due to my vertigo but it will remain as 12-weeks worth of work-outs. My additional work-outs have been inconsistent. Mostly Yoga. I tend to still get the spin-outs during yoga. I'm trying again tonight.

My favorite additional work-out in rotation is ROAR. I like not knowing what to expect when I walk through the door and challenging my body every time. My mindset is during training is to push hard and try my best to continuously elevate my game. FOCUS.

ROAR work-out today. Three sets of each except the 50 sit-up warm-up.
  • 50 sit-ups
  • lunges across room, 3 x's 5/5 leg lifts, kick backs across room, 10 push-ups
  • 20 sit-ups, 10 push ups, 3 box jumps, 20 waves (military rope), 20 high knees
  • tire station, 20 crunches, 50 high knees, 20 leg curls with ball, 
  • 10 pikes, 20 squats with over head press, 20 high knees, 20 lower press (military rope)
  • 20 supermans on ball, tire station, 20 high knees, reverse crunch with ball
  • 5 burpees, 20 sit-ups, 10 push-ups  - work-out sequence created by anthony coach freeman
I pushed hard and was dripping in sweat. After ROAR I went to 24 hour fitness to finish my upper-body body-for-life work-out. BURN BABY BURN! 
To many days like these! I feel great!
