Sept 2021 workout

 The past month I have been using my willpower and pretty much just the fact that it has now become routine to get my workout and yoga in every day.

What my workout looks like:
Each week I 5 more reps to each exercise. I use upbeat playlists to keep my pace moving.

10 normal squats
10 pile squats
10 narrow squats
10 sumo squats
10 squat to knee up

 

10 per side alternating hip dips

10 in and outs

10 sit-ups

10 reverse crunches

10 per side Russian twists


Yoga! I use a different playlist each day and a different mantra depending on what I need at that moment. My yoga movements are harder to explain than my workout so I am just going to say use an easy one from Pinterest and take it slow.

Plus I get in 10,000 or more steps a day and do two walks with the kids and dogs!

OMG Energy

 

 

 

 Today I was going to write about a hard topic, today I have started and erased this post about 15 times before deciding that my goal today isn't to cover hard stuff, it's not to cover what I am dealing with because I can't even write the words on paper.

So instead I am going to write about my weekly workout and yoga routine this week.

It's a topic I love and can get the words out without crying or struggling with them.

Today is day 18 of my new program.

I started Thrive by Level 18 days ago, well actually I started it a bit longer than that because I did a 6-day trial and then had a break while I waited for my products to arrive.

I don't sell the product, nor am I pushing it. I do my daily videos to make myself accountable to show how the products work for me.
 I am not using it for weight loss I am using it for energy.

Each morning I drag my butt out of bed somewhere between 7 am and 8 am depending on how the night before went with the kids and my pain level.

I get up, head to the kitchen to take my vitamin capsule. They are these purple and white things that are awesome.  I set up my camera on top of a box in the kitchen and do my video. There are two in each pack, I only take one because that is what my body can handle. You can take one or both, you can start with one and when you are ready move up to two.

I suck at videos but I am learning.

After I do my video I feed the kids and get them going on their morning routine. Then I have a shower.

After my shower, I do step two which is a pre and probiotic powder. you mix it with water or milk. I use water. I only make half a package because my body can't handle the full package and I can never drink even the whole half of a shake. I am used to drinking just water or black green tea so for me to drink something with flavour is hard. 

I video both steps two and three at the same time.

Step three is this cool vitamin patch. This is probably my favourite part. You put this right on your skin and the best part for me is that I do not have any reaction to it at all. No skin peeling off no burning NOTHING!!!!
This is super exciting. I can't use band-aids or even paper tape because my latex allergy is so severe it causes these reactions (adhesive contains latex).

The patches use the same science that we moms have known since the dawn of time. Our bodies absorb more nutrients through our skin than any other way.

They don't stick very well to me at first so I have to clean the area by rubbing alcohol on it before I put them on. You don't put them in the same spot two days in a row. There are many different places you can put them, however for me I find my biceps is what works best.

After 10 days I started to notice as long as I didn't have a migraine then I didn't need an afternoon lay down. I started to notice that I had morning energy in the mornings so much so that I am annoying to the others in the house lol. It has also been easier to stick to my workout plan and get all my steps in!

If I could afford it I would pay for every mom I know to try it even if it's just one month.

So that covers the new product I am using, I will post a couple of videos I have been doing along with it. If you decide you want to try the product I can give you the information of the amazing lady who sells the product (No it's not me )

My back is still very painful from last week but with the yoga it helped a great deal, well I am sure my sports injury doctor would like some credit on that one as well as my massage therapist.

This weeks yoga is going to based on back pain again but it will be slightly different than last weeks.

Yoga is my favourite part of the workout and I LOVE doing it outside in the grass it makes me feel far more connected, grounded and peaceful

How did you do last week? What are your goals this week?

Week 1 Results!

Week 1 results

I do not weigh myself as I fight anorexia and weighing myself triggers something in my brain that causes me not to eat anymore.

Plus fat and muscle weigh the same amount the difference is one is nice and toned the other is a blob, so I measure myself or get someone to help me measure my body.

I do not eat properly at all so my eating will never match my working out. I work every day and make an effort to walk at least my 10,000 steps everyday. Eating on the other hand, I eat like shit. I do not eat a lot of fast food and such I just do not eat proper meals.

My measurements after the first week are:

Neck: 12 inches

Bust: 39 inches

Right arm: 10.5 inches

Left arm: 10 inches

Waist: 36.5 inches

Hips: 38 inches

Left Leg (thigh): 18.5 inches

Right Leg: 18.5 inches

My set backs of the first week were, it was 40+ degrees, I injured the soft tissue around my spine from the bottom of my ribs to bottom of my spine and of course my eating sucked.

Like most people I hate photo's and when I seen these I wanted to cry. My entire year of hard work went down the drain from being injured so long :(. But I wont give up!!! I will have work hard again.

Did you have set backs? Did you have successes?

July week 2 work out

The yoga I am picking for this week is going to work on help my back. I caught myself from a fall on Thursday night last week and injured the soft tissue along my spine from the bottom of my rib cages to the base of my spine. It sucks I can barely move and it was a huge set back as I have not been able to work out other than walking and yoga since Friday.

Remember just because you can't do it all at once doesn't don't try. Do it in sets, take breaks as you need them and remember its not a race!!!
