Crazy Week

This week has been really crazy. Since I had to work all weekend I wasn't able to get any of my workouts in. I'm so behind in Best Body Boot Camp. I think I'll just have to forget week 3/4 and continue on with week 5. I'm really lost. I was glad to go back to barre Wednesday. Oh boy was it killer. The Wednesday teacher isn't who I'd considered "hard", but I guess cos I haven't gone for a few days I was struggling. I also manged to get in one of the runs that's part of my workout schedule. The morning of the run for some reason I woke up 2-3 times thinking it was time to get up. First I woke up around 3:30 AM just to check to time to find out it was not time yet. Then sometime around 4 I woke up again. I guess the night before I was like I have to get up tomorrow morning and told that to myself over and over again, so I wouldn't snooze and go back to sleep. When the alarm rang I did get up. Though I have yet to perfect getting out the door in a timely fashion so I'm at the gym with enough time to workout. I don't know how people get out the door in 10-15 minutes after waking up to go the gym. I mean on a good day maybe I'll get out under 45 minutes. Gotta keep trying though, but so hard when its cold. I either have to get up even earlier or just go to the gym in my PJs. Haha

BBBC Week 3

Yesterday I finished workout A. I'm just loving how I'm doing moves I've never done before. I think I should have started on Sunday. Now I'm behind and I feel all over the place. I having a hard time balancing barre class, bbbc, & getting my runs in before the Coaster Run 5K I'm doing in March. At the same time I'm trying not to stress out too much about it since my face has decided to act like a 13 year old and breakout. My main focus for Best Body Boot Camp is to learn new exercises that I will incorporate into my future workouts. I used to hear my brother and all these different strength moves he was doing at the gym. Now I can say I do some moves too. BBBC gave me the push I need to start strength training. I think if it wasn't for BBBC I'd still be just be a cardio queen.

BBBC Week 1

I completed week 1 of Best Body Boot Camp. I've always read it about it on people's blogs, but so glad I joined. Doing the first week of BBBC made me realize that I need to get out of my comfort zone and try different things when it comes to fitness. I feel that all these years I've been just a gym rat. I just feel like I've just become one of those people dragging themselves to the gym and going through the motions. Not that I don't push myself at the gym, but after doing BBBC it kind of opened my eyes to other forms of exercise. I still love the gym, but I think its great to incorporate the different kinds of exercises that I'm learning in BBBC in my workouts. I used to be a cardio junkie. I knew I needed to incorporate weight training to see better results, but I would just try weights a few times and give up so easily. I've already seen great results since joining barre and have done exercises that I've never thought I could do. Now with BBBC I hope to see even more results and learn more exercises that can expand my mental fitness library. Even when BBBC is over I can't wait to incorporate weight exercises and the different toning exercises on a regular basis. I think the hard part was my goal of trying to sleep before 11. I think I should have made that midnight. I don't want to give up on that goal though. Even though many a time I'm up past midnight I think I can try to get to bed before 11. Well I failed today, but tomorrow is another day. In the words of Casey Jr. "I think I can". Haha.

On another note I also joined another DietBet by SarahFit. Third time should be a charm. I was close with the other two DietBets by SarahFit. This time hopefully I don't go losing my bet.

BBBC Day 3

Oh boy Best Body Boot Camp day 3 is trying to test my balance . I started off a bit of a mess again because a had to re-watch a few of the videos during the workout. I got the hang of it by the start of the 3rd set. I should work on my balance more. It wasn't bad, but definitely shaky. I thought I would feel sore till tomorrow morning, but I'm staring to feel it now.
This morning I had an egg scramble with spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, and sausages. I love scrambling my eggs. It's faster and easier to cook than an omelette.
Is it me or does overnight oats make a great dinner. I guess overnight oats is great anytime.

BBBC Day 1 & 2

After barre class last night I tackled the 1st day of the Best Body Boot Camp. At first I was getting nervous because I saw so many Facebook post about it, but after doing it was ok. I was all over the place since I didn't know all the moves so I had to have my phone next to me to Google. I think the more I do it the more I'll get used to it and the moves will be easier to remember. I love not that the plan is all laid out for us and we just have to do it.

Today I tackled the cardio section at the gym. I haven't been keeping up with running regularly so I was glad I made it to the gym. Strangest thing was that I woke up at 4:25am thinking that it was time to get up, but I went back to sleep until the alarm woke me up. I usually don't get up before the alarm unless I really think about it the night before. I did think about the gym last night though. I kept telling myself I have to wake up and go. Good thing because I have had times where I hit snooze and missed my morning workout.

Ok so I kinda went crazy at the market because Fage was on sale for $0.90. It was a special club card deal that I found. I'm not sure if its a special for everyone, but I have a feeling its a special tailored to me because they have record of me buying so much Greek yogurt. Score! I have never seen it that cheap before.

Best Body Bootcamp

I'm so excited to join Tina Reale's Best Body Boot Camp round 4. I've read about it on many HLB, but was always when others was participating. Finally found out that registration was starting for round 4 so I decided to join. Best body boot camp is a 8 week fitness plan for only $25. The great thing is that you get to work at your own pace. I guess you become your own drill sergeant. Even though its an online based program it gets rave reviews. My goals for this is to tone up and hopefully see more changes with my body. Since starting taking barre classes I have seen big changes with my body & fitness in general. I've never regularly worked out with weights before even though I knew it was essential part of any fitness plan. After joining barre and seeing actual changes my overall fitness has improved. I'm sticking with my goals I set and always looking for ways where I can improve. Well paying the hefty monthly fee for barre also makes sure that I go as much as I can. What I noticed is that anything I join where I have to fork over my money as a bet or to join I stick with it better. With SarahFit's diet bet I felt that I put 100% into even though I didn't meet my goals.  Where as some of the Challenge Loops I joined so far has been a fail. I think I just need to focus on 1 activity at a time instead of trying to join so many things. I can't wait for BBBC to start.
