Body Beast Week 4 in the books!

This week was the first week of the Bulk Phase of Body Beast. I think I am going to like this phase even more especially since it has shorter workouts!! I know I have said this every week, but I really cannot wait to see my results from this program. Some things I have noticed though...I feel a strong need to fit in 1-2 extra cardio workouts, I feel like I need more cardio in my life and I miss the stretching and flexibility I gained from PiYo. My poor left knee has had so many horse and cheerleading injuries that I NEED to stay flexible to keep my left leg happy!

Monday was Chest Day! I enjoy working my chest and I typically always feel the burn from a chest workout.

Tuesday was Leg day. WOWZA! This was a great workout and I think I may finally get some definition in my legs after this one!!


Wednesday was Arms. I was WORN OUT after this biceps and triceps burner!!
Thursday was Back. I am still working on my pull ups. I still need a chair and do not have the full pull up down yet, but I WILL be able to do it someday!!
Friday was Shoulders. I LOVE working my shoulders. I also love lean muscled shoulders on a lady in a sleeveless shirt.

Always remember to Wake Up and Do everyday! There are days that I don't "feel it," but I still do it!

Here's a pic of one of my videos on my FB page. It's the heisman which is a cardio exercise that requires no equipment.

Every Friday morning I take a progress picture. Did you know that you may not lose any pounds or inches, but be able to tell a difference in a picture?? I encourage everyone to TAKE PICTURES!

Here is our Meal Plan for next week! Remember that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

It's been a while...

Hello there! It's been a while huh? Um I think about 3 years!! A lot has happened in those 3 years...3 places of work, pregnancy, and mom life! So what's new?? I worked at a small outpatient clinic...didn't like it! Went to an awesome hospital in the city...LOVED it!! Then after having my son took a position at a local hospital...only 8 minutes from home vs the hospital in the city which was 55 minutes on a good traffic day! I found out I was prego a few days before Christmas 2016...yes it was planned. For YEARS, we said NO kids ever! My father died in 2015 and my whole thought process on kiddos changed! Landon David arrived 8/14/17 via planned c section...he was breech! I stressed myself out incredibly too much about sleep, breastfeeding, being perfect, etc AND I suffered from Postpartum Depression and Anxiety! One thing I have learned about Motherhood is that you can plan, but you have to expect the unexpected!! Once I accepted this, my anxiety died down A LOT...
