I'm back in the game (residual sickness lingering) and decided what better way to jump back in than yoga! A whole lotta stretching to lengthen the muscles, and get my airways opened up!
I'm joining a 10:15 class and will bring my own mat and perhaps my barre socks inspired by TheHoss's newly purchased (much loved) yoga socks.
Be well Fitshizzle peeps (LOVE that name btw) and crush it!!!

Gym night tonight. Will be doing strength training.0
-
I danced for about 40 minutes.0

My strength training this month uses something called a Breaking Point. It focuses on one muscle group (today it's back) and uses 2 groups of 3 different exercises, each with a point value per rep assigned:
Group A:
Assisted Pullups (approx. 60% of body weight) = 1/2 pt.
Bodyweight Pullups = 1 pt.
BW + 40% Pullups = 1.5 pts.
(No kipping! Each pullup must start and end in a dead hang)
Group B:
Barbell Row (10-12 rep max) = 1/2 pt.
Dead Rows (Same weight as above) = 1 pt.
Split Stance Barbell Row (Same weight as above) = 1.5 points.
You basically pick an exercise from A and perform to failure, then pick one from B and perform to failure, then back to A, back to B, etc.
You can pick any from each group but you can't do an exercise 2x in a row (i.e. you can't do assisted pullups from A, Barbell Row from B, then back to assisted pullups; you must do one of the other exercises from A next).
This is a timed workout, and there isn't any scheduled rest so the cardio effect kicks in pretty quickly. The first 1/3 of the workout you're humming along, then your numbers start to dip and the workout stretches out!
When you hit 205 points (The Breaking Point) you're done! Later in the month I'll try to beat this time.
I did this workout in 45m 38s. (I had to quit weighted pullups pretty early on). After this a bit of ab work. Here's the numbers. Have a great day, everyone!

Day 1 for me was a disaster, no exercise due to a cold, a coworkers birthday so pizza and cup cakes for lunch and an anniversary dinner to my favorite restaurant for bacon wrapped scallops and steak!
Day 2 I'm doing a little PiYo and trying to make my 1000 step goal. Also commited to making a spinach and kale smoothie for breakfast instead of my typical butter croissants for the 30 days.
Hoping day 3 I'm well enough for a real work out.0 -
day 1 & 2 - I have done insanity month 2 for both. Eating has been mainly clean - so pretty good start so far

I brought my kids to our favorite ice cream shop and sat there eating a protein bar instead. I cried a little inside, but right now I'm pretty happy I made the right call.0

Day 2
I don't weight every day.
Calories: 2520 maintenance.
Excersize: p90x Chest and Back.
After all the push ups yesterdays Insanity max plyo it made today RUFF. My pull ups still suck and I can only do one or two unassisted.
Food today is so far easy. Already planned out dessert and still have 1k calories for dinner.
