I am also happy to see changes in my body πŸ˜€ Not a huge difference but it’s definitely there which is awesome!!!

I managed to put on one of my shirts that i tried on early Jan and it didn’t flatter me at all and guess what? It looked great!!

I gotta say that i really really reallllllly HATE Comandos!!!! Who the hell invented those evil killer push ups??? lol My elbows hate them…

I am back!!!

I was feeling really sad that i couldn’t workout and keep up with everyone this week and then i talked to my Kayla Army Team Girls about restarting week 3 all-together. They made a point that there is still time and that i can actually catch up with it all! Yes, i can and i will!!!

So i have missed a day of LISS, Arms & Abs and another day of LISS. What i am planning to do today is a session of LISS followed by Arms and Abs, Then Saturday do another session of LISS and Full body which was due today! Enjoy rest day Sunday and start fresh with everyone on Monday!

Β I am determined to do this even when it has to be done at midnight. I won’t let life get in the way of my plan of wellness! I read somewhere this morning “Life is getting up an hour early to live an hour more”. So let’s all stay an hour late to live an hour more too πŸ˜‰

Much love and lots of positive vibes your way xoxo

Mother’s Blues…

Standard

baby-443393_1920

Oh the joy of being a new mom…

I am totally clueless when it comes to why my baby is fussing and crying 😦

I haven’t been able to do any of my workouts for 2 days now because i am totally stressed out. My daughter is 21 weeks and has been refusing milk and just crying the whole god damn time… She doesn’t even want me to hold her which makes me extremely sad and boarder line depressed as well. I don’t really know how to make her happy or make things better for her. It’s just so difficult for me and i have no one that i can trust around me to help me out in any way.

I keep checking her for fever but that’s not the cause. She might be teething or going through a painful growth spurt. Whatever it is, its just driving me insane to say the least…

I hope things get better for us soon.

Much love xoxo

Week 2 LISS 2

Good morning!

Hope everyone is feeling super today πŸ™‚

I am doneeee with LISS for today! I worked-out with 0 to 10k app again and scored 30 minutes walk/run. I was still pretty sore from leg day and my bum hurts so bad when i run! Good thing right?

I’m not feeling very well today, my stomach is bothering me so i didn’t want to do more than 30 minutes of exercise. The fun part about today’s workout is that i was listening to music on Spotify and on my last minute of cool down THRILLER came on!!! There’s nooooo way i was just gonna walk when that was playing lol so my last minuet of cool down was a solo dance hahaha what an awesome way to end a good workout!!!

Much love xoxo

Week 2 Arms & Abs

Standard

crossfit-534615_1920

Oh my goodness.. My arms are shaking and i’m totally exhausted and feel like i’m going to throw up if i don’t rest up… Arms are my weakest body parts… Going through the first circuit wasn’t so bad but then when i had to go over and finish my 7 minutes on it i was slowing down and getting really tired. I feel like i did not give it my all because it was so hard for my body. I try not to give myself a hard time when i feel this way because as long as i am moving and doing what i can then i think it counts. By the end of it all i have burnt 240 calories.

So i was trying to relax and going through my Instagram and saw a post that made my blood boil. There’s this stupid girl who posted a pic of a spiral ebook of Kayla’s hard work that she bought on eBay for $25!!! What the heck???!!!! It’s so sickening to see!!! There’s no respect and that stupid girl posted that under Kayla’s hash tags too… I hope it fires back at her for promoting a stolen copy righted book.

Ugh lets throw some positive fairy dust vibes on this post, it really needs it haha WOOOSHHHH… Did you feel that???? No???? Close your eyes for a minute and take a deep breath πŸ™‚ Now open your eyes slowly as you exhale and smile… How was that? Good?? Awesome!!! Let’s do that again… Close your eyes as you take a deep breath and this time think of something sooo magical, soooo beautiful, like being on that tropical island or on the summit of the highest mountain, whatever makes you happy and hold that thought for a minute then open your eyes with a smile and exhale!

I hope that helped you a little πŸ™‚

Carry the good vibes with you today and everyday!

Much love xoxo

Week 2 LISS

Standard

girl-324688

Good morning!

I am feeling extra super today!!! Got up this morning and had enough time to do 55 minutes of LISS!!! What a great achievement in my book πŸ™‚ I don’t really get to keep a solid schedule for my workouts with a baby, so i try to take advantage of any opportunity i have to get a solid workout done!

I wanted to change things a bit today so i ran with 0 to 10K app on my iPad. I did 25 minutes walk/run and unlocked the Lion Heart badge. This app is fun to use. i used it before but i guess they updated it so it looks better and i really enjoyed working out with it today. I think i’m going to stick to it πŸ™‚

After i got done with the 25 minutes walk/ run with the app i did another 30 minutes on my own of just walking. MyΒ Polar watch says i have burnt 459 calories so i’m really happy about that.

I have set up some goals for this week, I will try to eat healthier, try harder on my workouts and just enjoy the ride!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Much love xoxo
