It's a series 2 and Ruffles...

Yeah!!! It's the day before Friday!! FINALLY!! It has been a fun, full week but loooooong as heezy! Be glad when Sunday comes. Why? because my weekend is going to be BUSY and like God, on the 7th day, I rest. YEET!


Something UBER awesome came in the mail yesterday!! My Ruffles with Love tanks!!  I first saw one of her tanks on Fluffy Girl and I immediately fell IN LOVE!!  I headed over to her website and placed me a nice order.The "Rise and Grind" might just be my motivation to ACTUALLY wake up in the morning and workout!

In other news:  Pushing forward with my T25 spread.

Yesterday morning I DID NOT get up and do my workout however, I did get my arse in gear and do my Total Body Circuit last night when I got home! One word: Hard!  It's not my favorite in the Alpha series.  It has been the top workout for week 5.  On the schedule 3 times this week!! ugh
Much harder to do in the evening than in the morning AND I burned fewer calories. BOOOO! The sweat though, the sweat was insane and I loved every drip! It was gruelling.  Still hated it.





This morning I got UP!! It was CARDIO DAY!!!!!  I enjoy the Alpha Cardio...no floor, no pike, no plank. Just Cardio.
Sprinting, mountain climbers, lunge squats, jumping jacks, knee ups, switch kicks and all that! WHEW!!!!
Heart rate got up there however, my endurance has grown such that, the calorie burn was not the same as it was in the beginning. Burned like 25 less calories than I did in the beginning and I did more work! The sweat was phenomenal!!! Killing the fat!  A sista was tired!


Been a great week thus far.
Tomorrow is a double T25 day :(  Total Body Circuit and Lower Focus. Unfortunately, my schedule is so busy tomorrow that I HAVE to do them back to back...ugh. Horrible.

It's a series...

I'm in a sharing mood today, this week, every hour...lol!!
To start I go some new shoes!!!!!!
I'm super excited about them.  I save shoes as a reward but after starting T25 I HAD to break the rule and get me some!
They are uber comfortable.
Reebok Women's RealFlex Advance Trainer
They are flexible, very supportive all the way around and SUPER CUTE!
I went for a loooong walk on Sunday and I think they will do the trick!


4 weeks ago I started T25 FOCUS!
I will say that It's intense. It's gruesome. It's challenging. It's invigorating. It's work. It's fun.
It is a take no prisoners workout.  It's like 25mins of little mini Insanity's. WHEW!
After the first week I was in love.  I fell in love with the way my body started feeling.  I could/can feel myself growing stronger and feeling stronger.  LUUUUV IT!!!

So this week is my last week of T25 Alpha.  Can you believe it! I am in the 5th WEEK!!!!
I have decided to share. HA!
So the first workout for this week was...
Total Body Circuit - 25mins of WORK!
It's exactly what it says it is TOTAL body.
Sprinting, lunging, squatting, squat jumping, planking, plank walking and then some. WERK!
The first time I did this I could hardly breath! That was even with following the modifiers sometimes!
Now, its still difficult but I'm much better at it.  I can actually follow Shaun T more often than not. Its the 2nd hardest workout in the series.  However the time goes quickly because you're not watching the timer... hell you can't even see it most of the time because you're on the floor PLANKING!

Check the sweat

Last night was good and intense.  I got a really good
<-- sweat and an awesome burn -->
 I felt great when I was done because I pushed myself, did almost no modification and when he said "Time"  I was still amped and ready to go!

 

Conforming to the goals that I have set for myself this month and even after that ol' gansta workout last night, I roooooolled my behind out of my UBER comfy bed early this morning.  with head held high I stomped down the stars to the good ol T25 Ab Intervals.  I DO NOT like this workout.  Um. WOW!  No matter how many times I have done it, it suck, it hurts oh and did I mention IT SUCK!!

I feel alllll 25 mins of this workout.  95% spent on the floor 1 leg raises, 2 leg raises, hand to feet V leg raises, supermans and pain.  Probably my favorite are the supermans that turn into lat pulls. Awesomeness! There is also a littel cardio which includes sprinting, squats and knee ups. Fun stuff! Its not a great calorie burn but it does work the heezy out of my abs and one day when the layer of fat has rescinded, the world will see my abs! HA!

 

Got a new pic app on mah phone...I likey

 I'm so proud of myself that I dragged myself out of bed this morning!! It was hard.  I enjoy just laying there snuggling my pillows...lol
Tonight I may be doing something super fun! We shall see!
