Fighting Autoimmune?

Good evening everyone.  I’m so sorry to have been away for so long.  I’m going to give you a much better explanation very soon, but for now, let me just tell you that I’ve been unwell and was not able to finish that full 80 day program.  Much has to do with diet, exercise and adrenals.  I’m in full research mode, seeing a naturopath, getting testing done and moving forward.  I am still working…

Obsessed - Day 35 - Oh the Struggle

Obsessed – Day 35 – Oh the Struggle

Today was a great and productive day for work and good fun was had texting with my team at work. I met a ton of new customers today which is always rewarding. Then after work I came back to my airbnb and the struggle became so real.

After drinking my pre-workout and waiting the appropriate time, I pushed play and started my workout.

This is right before the final set of the 3rd round of Day 35. I…

Day 33 - Cardio and The Party House

Day 33 – Cardio and The Party House

I mentioned yesterday that I was in New Mexico and that I had rented an airbnb for the first time in a while. What I didn’t mention was that the house I’m staying in was built in 1930 and that it was originally a Harley Davidson Motorcycle Club House. I grew up around Harley’s. My late uncle was a biker for my entire life. He took me for my first ride at 6 years old. I rode for much of my life…

Hi everyone!  So sorry for the gap in posts.  I needed a weekend of rest and recovery (but I did do my workouts and then some).  I’ve got some fun things in the works that will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Friday was a busy day of seeing doctors (chiro and eye) and getting ready for my trip that I’m on this week.  Saturday I spent the day with my fella being a couch potato except for my workout and cooking an amazing goulash dinner with cauliflower in lieu of potatoes.  Sunday was baking and cooking up things for Tyler for the week and then spending time with our friend and her girls outdoors getting some fresh air.  Good times. And much needed.

As for my workout program and nutrition, I’ve been committed to my workouts and getting them done everyday.  Even Sunday, my rest day, we were outside and did a mini incline of 200 steps that go up at a 40º angle (ouch my legs and lungs).  Food has been on point except I had some dark chocolate over the weekend and my digestion in paying today for it.

Today I drove to Albuquerque, NM and didn’t have the best food options in the car.  They weren’t unhealthy per se, but they were lacking in vital nutrients.  But I did have all my weights and workout equipment in my car and hit up Whole Foods before coming to the airbnb I rented.

I cooked up some nutrient packed stir-fry with tons of veggies for dinner after my workout and will hope that tomorrow brings ease to my digestion.

This blog is kind of all over the place.  Tomorrow will be more structured.  I hope you all had a great Monday.

~until tomorrow

Obsessed - Day 31

Obsessed – Day 31

Today was leg day! And leg day with already sore legs is brutal. I’m absolutely loving this program though just for the challenges. I’m 31 days in and it feels like I just started a brand new program. Thats what’s so great about it….all the changes in routine. Nothing is ever the same and my muscles just can’t keep up. My body is changing so much. At day 40 I’ll post some before and afters.

As…

Obsessed – Day 31

OK – I’m going to make this short and sweet today.

My day consisted of getting up and going to Denver to work and getting my bangs trimmed and then coming home to do more work on the computer and then it was workout time.

My workout today was total body core and I have to tell you guys I hurt everywhere since this new phase started. This workout program challenges me more than anything I’ve ever…

Obsessed – Day 30 – Motivation and Fun Cardio?

Up until a few months ago, I was attempting to build a team actively coaching for BeachBody. Its quite a rewarding job and I really wanted to help people. However, with my travels and my busyness opening a coffeehouse, I found network marketing to be too much of a time consumption for me so I ended my coaching business. That doesn’t mean I don’t still love the programs and do them. The 80 Day…

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” -Jim Rohn

OK time to check in. Yesterday was my rest day and since I wrote about leaky gut I opted not to post my current stats. So here you go:

26 days in I’ve lost 2.4 lbs and 8.25″. Now, as much as I wish the scale had a bigger number, I cannot be dissatisfied with that inches lost number. Especially since I was on the road traveling…

REST DAY!!!!  I gotta tell you guys, I didn’t do much resting today though.  I’ve been on my feet so much that they actually hurt. HA!  I’ve been in my kitchen since I got up this morning, trying new recipes and making cookies for my man and cooking a late St. Patrick’s day dinner which is still cooking.   There was about an hour break in there where I cleaned my bathroom shower and tub which was…

Obsessed – Day 25 – Phase 1 DONE!

Happy Saturday and St. Patrick’s Day.  Did you wear your green?

Today was a good day.  We were up super late last night and so slept late this morning.  Got up, grabbed coffee (I tried a new creamer today Califia Almond Milk w/ coconut) had a quick breakfast of an egg and a spoonful of mashed sweet potatoes and then headed out to run errands.

As soon as I got home it was time to finish my last…

Obsessed – Day 25 – Almost Done with Phase 1

TGIF!

I’ve had one very long day!  Woke up at 6:30, crawled out of bed at 7:00, and COFFEE!!!  I had another day of working in Denver so after a quick breakfast, I was off and running.  It snowed north of us. That was a big bummer to see. I wish it would snow at my house!

I finished my work around 3:00 in Denver and heading back to the springs was excited to workout.  Its LEG DAY!!!  I’ve never…

Obsessed - Day 24 - UPDATE

Obsessed – Day 24 – UPDATE

A few days ago I told you guys that I was struggling with my digestion. In 2008 I was diagnosed with leaky gut syndrome and then again in 2013. I’ve never been a very good follower of doctor’s orders when it comes to my adrenal fatigue or gut healing. Therefore, I have always had bouts of inflammation and continued gastrointestinal problems.

24 days ago I began a new program called 80 Day…

Obsessed – Day 23 – Stagefright

Can you believe we’re already half way through the week?   My my my how time flies.  Well it’s been a good day.  Another very productive day.  Here you go with my little recount and then I’ll explain my title.

We slept in a little because we stayed up way too late last night.  Alarm went off at 7:00 and I think we got out of bed at 7:30.  First came the coffee.  I’m not one of those people who…

Obsessed – Day 23 – All The Good Foods

Today was a day of trying new recipes!

Breakfast today was poached egg on toast with asparagus. It was my first time poaching eggs and while they weren’t beautiful, they were cooked really well and made for a great pre-workout meal. Post workout was leftover baked almond crusted chicken and a sweet potato latke. Our dinner tonight was Italian Meatballs with homemade sauce and spaghetti squash in…

Good evening!

Happy Monday.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Today was a good day.  I spent the entire day at home to get some work done for my day job, be a domestic goddess and do some meal prep and prepare a great dinner.  I had a 2 hour massage in my home (there’s nothing better than the massage therapist coming to your house) and I feel incredible.  I’ve been worried about my…

I almost forgot to blog again!

Today was rest day for me. That meant not actual scheduled workout. I slept in until 7:45, had coffee and read the paper. Then I cooked this amazing French Toast – I’ll post the recipe tomorrow.

Today was a busy day working on my up and coming coffeehouse. My business partner and I scouted places for rent which included a nice walk in Old Colorado City. Then it was…

Obsessed - Day 20 - Unbelievable Fatigue

Obsessed – Day 20 – Unbelievable Fatigue

Today is my 20th day on this program.  While I’ve struggled with my nutrition due to the travel with other people, I’ve killed my workouts.  Even making up a missed workout by doing two in one day.  But today was the HARDEST day I’ve had yet.

I didn’t sleep as well as I’d hoped to last night and I was awake for the day by 6:15 this morning.  I had the best intentions, last night, of rising,…
