Sorry for the delayed post about yesterday's workout. This week has been a weird one and my brain wasn't up for writing so I just unplugged last night, blocked out the world and went to bed really early. I feel a lot better today so it is something my body needed obviously. I think because I have been eating more wheat (gluten) my body has been feeling more tired and I have been feeling more bloated. I switched to a more paleo diet a few years ago, but thought I would give some grains a try. I can handle some, but I guess my body does not react well to some other items. Oh well. I'll get back on track with my 3-Day Refresh next week and PiYo. It felt good to rest and although I didn't work out this morning, I am not stressed about it since I have worked out every day since last Tuesday.
Yesterday we got to do a new workout called Buns! Yowza was that tough! Twenty-eight minutes of lunges, squats, sumo squats, skaters, clockwork lunges and then the floor work that included the typical donkey kick/fire hydrant type of moves. And of course, everyone's favorite...BURPEES!!! I really thought I was going to be sore today, but in all honesty the only place I am sore is in my obliques. I'm not sure if that is residual from the other day or if the few side moves and planks we did yesterday are the culprit, but I certainly feel it today. I am not complaining though! I am loving getting that little bit of definition in my abs. I think after I can do my refresh next week that will really help boost me along.
I will either do the Core workout tonight or just pick back up tomorrow morning. I know I have said this in almost every post, but I really think I might have found my soul mate workout. Don't get me wrong, I still love lifting weights and feeling my strength in that way, but this is something totally different. I love the nutrition guide that comes with it, I love that the workouts are short and all you need is a mat and I love that just about everyone I have seen that is doing this program, including myself, have been seeing such amazing results in a short amount of time. Women who were thinking they would need surgery to remove extra skin or that thought they would never see their abs after having kids are seeing phenomenal results in their bodies. A lot of men have joined their wives or are starting their own PiYo journeys and are getting maximum results and realizing this isn't some frilly workout. It really does go to prove that with the right nutrition and exercise you can change your body. If something hasn't worked for you, why not try something else? I can't wait to get certified in PiYo so I can share this program with the world.
I don't have any pictures to share today, so I will leave you with this quote. Have a great Wednesday and I'll be back later to continue with my PiYo journey!
Meals for the Day:
Breakfast: Strawberry Shakeology with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, half a frozen banana, water and ice
Mid-morning Snack: 2 whole wheat tortillas with all natural peanut butter
Lunch: Turkey spaghetti sauce with pasta
Dinner: Tuna salad with ak-mak wheat crackers (I was really tired and just went to bed pretty much after this. I had too many carbs for what I should have had for the day.)
