Can 21 days really change your habits

Wednesday, Hump Day and day 17 of  my 21Day Fix




Yesterday was my Lower Fix and I was feeling my lat pulls from the day before since I went up in hand weights.

I indulged in Quick Trip chicken salad wrap for lunch but I took it apart and ditched the extra flour tortilla using just enough to cradle my chicken salad goodness - it's delicious....I gotta say my QT fav!

I enjoyed some of my choco shako energy snacks and then some hummus and veggies before calling it a night. Instead of eating as often I'm condensing my meals into a smaller time frame and fasting until at least noon.....I like the results and it's nice to not have to fill in my day all day long with foods since I have a full day on the go work schedule.



I've got Pilates Fix on my schedule for today, Thanksgiving - stay tuned!

How to Create a Beachbody Hybrid Workout Schedule

Image
It’s Day 28 of  INSANITY MAX:30 , and you couldn’t be more excited. You feel amazing, you look amazing, and you’re starting to think “What’s next?” Should you do another round with Super Trainer  Shaun T , or move on to a different program, like  CORE DE FORCE ? Or maybe you don’t have to choose; maybe you can combine them to create the ultimate hard-hitting total-body  HIIT  program! I have a love/hate relationship with hybrid workouts. Why? Wouldn't it ultimately be the best of both worlds? First, there are a lot of people making  Beachbody hybrids  that have no clue what they are doing.  They are just piecing random programs together and hoping for the best.  Don't get me wrong I know it's fun to do.  If you don't do it properly though you may become frustrated and wonder why you aren't reaching any of the goals you set for yourself.  One person's hybrid will not work for everyone and most likely isn't even working...

Cardio and Dirty 30....21day Fix weekend

Image
Day 6 and 7 posts....I was up early Saturday and managed to complete Cardio Fix.....my LEAST favorite of the 21 day workouts (because there are sumo burpees.....) and I worked all day Saturday, driving from KC to Joplin after work....late evening and road tired! I woke up early (early for me, anyway) and hit the road for the drive home to Dallas.......Lots of Spotify, Audible and some podcasting......I taste tested McDonalds coffee against a truck stop just south of Miami, OK.....McDonald won, hands down. I had Dirty 30 to look forward to at the end of my drive  - it's my favorite of the 21day fix workouts  - 4 rounds of fat-burning exercises help carve out a leaner, stronger physique. .....but I have to admit I wasn't feeling it today- it was raining and chilly and a nap on the sofa was so much more my speed. BUT I made a commitment. I will finish the 21 days with my scheduled  as planned. I just want everyone to know I'm human and not a MACHINE! If you follow...

4 Unique Ways to Get Your 10,000 Steps Into Your Day

Image
Part of reaching your health and fitness goals is literally putting one foot in front of the other… again and again and again. Perhaps you are one of those people who are active outside of the office?  Be aware that sitting for extended periods of time isn’t great even for people who exercise on the regular.  That’s partially because long bouts of inactivity inhibit the flow of blood and nutrients to your muscles between exercise sessions, explains Jason Raynor, C.S.C.S., a Nike Master Trainer with the Spa at JW Marriott Chicago. Performing regular activity like walking throughout the day, however, can help your   muscles recover   and reduce exercise-induced inflammation, Raynor says. . Why Take 10,000 Steps a Day? “There’s nothing magical about the 10,000 number,” Dr. Campbell says. “The number came from pedometers sold in Japan in the 1960s. They were marketed under the name ‘manpo-kei,’ which translates to ‘10,000 steps meter.’ The 10,000 step count th...
