    I don't know about you guys but I'm liking the Bulk Series ! I mean, sooo many reps but damn, failure is so cool to attain right ?! I love feeling the burn ! And I like the switch up of the muscle combinations on the workouts too. I am still scared ****less of the Cardio but, still, gotta get through it.
    My eating is better, not perfect at all but better. In the right direction. :)

    Alright that's me !
    Have a good one ladies !

    Monday- back and bis✔
    Tues- bulk legs✔
    Wed- arms ✔ and no hike today. My mom broke her leg yesterday walking a snowmobile trail with my sister and I. Then proceeded to walk on it to try and get out. My brother in law drove his truck as far down the trail to get her as he could. She then refused to go to the hospital until this morning. She didnt even take any tylenol. She has a high pain tolerance. Her dog rean down a hill and slammed into her knee. Broke above and below.
    Thurs- cardio
    Friday- rest
    Sat- back
    Sun shoulders

    Jenn, that's crazy !!!
    Hope she feels better soon as is able to do what she likes, very soon !

    Really struggled to focus this week because of the attack in Toronto. Everyone we know is safe, but am really heart broken for all of the victims and their families. Has been tough to explain to my kids. Too much sad stuff this month, it will be good to move on to the month of May. Am going to cut out early and will post again on Sunday when back in Toronto. The hill of doom is waiting for me!

    Not bad, thanks! Meditative thanks to good audiobook. Slow thanks to the warmer temp. Was covered in that salty crust by the end and have underboob chafing (tmi, but it’s the truth!). Burned almost a full day’s calories!

    I had a good first week back but I did miss one of my scheduled workouts and could have eaten cleaner. I am looking forward to cleaning that up this week and making some progress.

    My plan for the week:

    Monday-Build chest and tris DONE
    Today-Bulld Legs
    Wednesday- Build back and bis
    Thursday- bulk chest
    Friday-Bulk legs
    Saturday and Sunday- off

    I am finally starting the Bulk workouts this week and am looking forward to changing it up.

    We are starting a new month and my plan is to get back to my lowest weight, 162. I weighed in at 165.8 today and have been losing and gaining the same 3-4 pounds for the last couple months. I need to break this plateau!!

    Happy first day of May! Got out very early so it was cooler & could run longer. Gorgeous weather for next few days!

    Bianca - Plateaus suck & I just pulled myself out of one in April. I don’t have any great wisdom, other than stick with it and keep doing all the good things that you are doing.

    Shoot !
    I wrote a whole thing on here and I thought it posted but now I can’t see it.
    Hmmmm

    Ok well the jist of it was :
    Yay ! Hill of doom is retiring ! Bring on Fartlek season ! Who the **** thinks up these terms really ?!
    What date is the Half again ?
    Good plan Bianca ! And kudos on the bravery it takes to put it out there.
    You inspired me to do the same.
    I saw 156.0 and 156.4 the week before my period and then it went away and then the weekend away and then a one evening binge (which is a win in the Grand scheme of things cause hey, I stopped it after one evening) and I was at 159.0 this morning.
    I am aiming for 155 as my next milestone. And in the spirit of accountability I vow to take and share a before and after photo of me at 155 which will make (notice I wrote Will and not Would. They say, be conscious of the way you word things, the universe is listening lol) 70 pounds lost.
    I figure that’s worth a before and after.

    So this is me putting it out there.
    To you guys. My fierce ladies.

    Don’t know when it’s gonna happen. Don’t care really, cause that’s not the point for me.
    It’ll be in 2018. That, I promise.

    **High fives all around !**

    Whatever it takes.

    Well I'm completely off the rails as far as Body Beast goes. Life is busy and I just haven't been able to stay in my routine. The good news is that I have been running and doing a lot outdoors. Im not sure what my plan is from here. Im going to stay part of this group for sure. Not sure if I should start BB over? Maybe go back to H&C. Feeling a little lost and unmotivated but I do know I'm not going to do nothing. Im not gaining weight so thats good!

    Monday: Run 3 miles
    Tuesday: off
    Wednesday: Run 3 miles/ Abs,buns, thighs

    Thursday:?
    Friday:?
    Saturday:?

    At least your still moving and enjoying the outdoors. Its been beautiful where I am. I guess ask yourself if you enjoyed bb before deciding to start over or go to another program. I lose motivation more if i dont enjoy the exercise im doing. You gotta do what will fit best with you.

    Jamie - Just do what you really feel is right for you. That can change day to day, week to week. Life really can get busy, but it’s okay, you do what you can even if it is just taking a deep breath. The running is great, and being outdoors is even better!

    Krystina - The race is June 3rd, so one month from today! My back pain comes and goes, and it has an impact on pace. I am working on it, but it may not be fully resolved by race time. Whatever, I am able to run, so will be there on June 3rd regardless!

    I am done for the week and will be cheering all of you on for the remainder. This weekend, will be celebrating my son’s first communion and my mother’s 80th birthday. There will be lots of food, champagne & cake (two of them) and will enjoy all of it! Hope that all of you have a great weekend!

    Finished my week strong and had a good weigh in this morning. I finally started the bulk series and did Chest and legs yesterday and today. Legs was tough! I am off for the weekend and feel good to have completed my 5 scheduled workouts.

    Hopefully my busy weekend will not undo any progress this week and I am committed to being mindful of my goals.

    Have a great weekend!

    I'm so embarrassed.
    Like, really.
    I ate junk food ALL WEEKEND and haven't worked out since Tuesday's Legs.
    Why ? I don't even friggen know !!
    Some combination of stress + work + crap discouraging weather + new things in my life I'M not quite dealing with = Comfort eating and no workout.

    Urrggghhhhhh
    I hate it.

    HFM Training - Week 14

    Sunday - rest
    Monday - 6 km steady run

    Tuesday - 6 km fartlek (always feels like am writing a bad word)
    Wednesday - 18 km long run
    Thursday - rest
    Friday - 8 km steady run
    Saturday - rest

    Had a great weekend, but felt drained this morning. Less sleep than usual, more alcohol and rich food than usual. I had to drag myself out to run and it really was the best thing for me. I continue to try to improve my back so that my longer runs become completely pain/cramp free. Did more research and got new running shoes, which felt great today. Also bought a new pillow and mattress (getting delivered this weekend) and will see how that goes.

    Whenever I run, there is always an elderly person on the street cheering me on or giving me the thumbs up. It is really nice. One lady with a walker said to me last week, “You do it girl, because I can’t anymore!!” (She was out walking though!). It made me think that all of us ARE out there doing it! We have good days, we have bad days (or weeks), but we are putting ourselves out there, picking ourselves up after we fall or stall, and we are trying! Thank you for being on this journey Bianca, Jenny, Jamie and Krystina (and all Fierce team members who may not be posting regularly)!!
