Legs + Protein

Today I was going to post about getting rid of zits – because lets be honest we all have that annoying zit always pop up at the most inconvenient times.

However, I had a kickass workout (literally kicked my own ass) and I thought a selfie, protein powder and sharing my workout was more important.

This workout took me over an hour and a half – if you do not have that long to workout you could switch it up or only do the set once.

LEGS FOR DAYZ:

Squat – basic

Lateral lunge (each leg)

Step ups (each leg)

Squats – sumo

Dead lifts

Curtsey lunge (each leg)

Squats – goblet

T- stance (each leg)

Lunge – tilted (each leg)

Squats – plié

Wall sit

2 minutes each – 2 times total

+ spinning intervals of hill climbing for 20 minutes on and off. I was sweating from my ass, boobs and front end within the first 15 minutes and I never sweat that bad.

Also if you are looking for new protein powder this peanut butter Quest protein powder is fricken amazing. It is literally comparable to a peanut butter milkshake. I ordered straight from questnutrition.com

Fitness Journal

 I have been doing my own workouts lately vs. driving 35 minutes to do boot camp. Although I miss boot camp a lot, I am finally at a point where I am in a routine with my workouts.

Something that has helped my workouts is starting a fitness journal. Now, I am super new to this workout journaling stuff. I journal my personal life on my blog!

But in my fitness journal is the workout I will be doing that day then details about that workout. I write how long it took me, I write exciting things that happened, I write if I stopped to go to the bathroom, I write if I gave up mid workout because I just was not flipping feeling it (this happens too many times).

This journal has been super fun for me because I get to write in marker and plan workouts which I LOVE doing. It has been fun to look back at progress I have made, for example how many sit-ups I did in two minutes a few weeks ago vs. this week.

And lets be honest, this journal is pretty classy looking.

How do you keep track of your workouts? Do you journal? Blog? Post-it note?

The Thing Is...

We are all going to have good days and bad days. Days where we eat perfectly (whatever ‘perfect’ means to you) and there are going to be days where we eat like shit.

These past three days I do not know what it was but I ate like shit. All fricken day. I guess I ate healthy stuff too but I was just constantly eating. I slept like a rock because I was in a food comma <<< yes I went there.

I believe it was due to stress with the semester ending (thank goodness tomorrow it is DONE). Monday and Tuesday I worked out but yesterday I took the day off to focus on eating… But still ate bad.

Today I got my ass out of bed, put on my workout clothes and worked out for a solid hour. I lifted some heavy shit and I did some spinning on my bike. I am ready to finally have a good eating day.

On a happier note I put these size 28 (!!!!!!!!) Miss Me SKINNY bling jeans on yesterday and they fit nicely. In April of this year I was buying size 30/31’s non-skinny. The thing about Miss Me Jeans is they run small (I think) and the skinny ones are always so fricken tight in all the wrong areas. So this made me feel good.
