As you all know, I have been doing #SummerSculpt every day for the past three weeks. I wanted to give you an update on the last two weeks. Week two and three were easier than week one. After week one, I was sore after each day. Weeks two and three still made me sore but not nearly as bad as week one. I pushed myself harder on days that I slacked on the first week. I slacked a little on Thursday’s workout, Abs and Butt. These past two weeks I made sure to complete the workouts entirely. I took fewer breaks during each rep and I pushed my flexibility to my limits. Some of the workouts required me to have better flexibility than I currently have. It sucked! I have nothing else to say about it. It sucked, but I did it. Let’s see how this week goes. It’s my last week. Wish me luck!
Weekly workouts go as such: Monday: Full Body Tuesday: Legs and Butt Wednesday: Arms and Back Thursday: Abs and Butt Friday: Waist and Thighs Saturday: Stretching Sunday: Cardio If you are interested in participating in the 28-day #SummerSculpt go to youtube.com/blogilates

I recently donated blood and I found out I weigh 185 pounds After seeing that, it lowered my self-esteem a bit. I hadn’t weighed myself since August and seeing my weight went up really hit me hard. I tried to redirect my thoughts and remind myself that weight is just the amount of gravity pulling down on me, but I couldn’t help but feel horrible. I decided to get serious! I’m tracking my food and water intake with Under Armour’s app, My Fitness Pal. I’m also tracking my steps, sleep, and exercise routine. Along with the help of my Herbalife wellness coach I start this fitness journey with support. I’ve done fitness journey’s in the past, but this time I’m doing it for a cause. I want to be healthy and not lose out on opportunities because of my weight. Diabetes runs in my family and I am very high risk, so If I can take steps in the right direction to avoid that I am all in! I will not be posting weekly updates and posting a monthly progress photos. I am doing this for myself and my overall health. I will, however, be posting more healthy, high protein recipes for meals and snacks to Food so stay tuned for that. I will continue to post my progress on #SummerSculpt and other workout challenges, but as for my overall fitness journey, I will not make that public. I feel that in the past it was too much stress and that didn't help with my weight loss. I hope you all have a great week, and if you have any suggestions for posts please feel free to contact me!
On June 3, I started Blogilates’ Summer Sculpt program! Cassey did seven days’ worth of workout videos that we are to do every week until June 30. The schedule goes as such:
Monday: Full Body Tuesday: Legs and Butt Wednesday: Arms and Back Thursday: Abs and Butt Friday: Waist and Thighs Saturday: Stretching Sunday: Cardio The full workout is about 25 minutes. We do ten moves for 1 minute each. We get a 10 second break in between each move. We do two rounds of this. After the first round, we take a 1-minute break then we start again. In each video, Cassey starts with a warm-up and ends with a cool down. To be completely honest, I skipped Friday through Sunday, but for the rest of the week I did each work out. My goal for this week is to complete each workout and no longer skip days. I’ve done four days and already know what to expect, so I’m ready to do this without distractions. Today is Monday, so I did my full body workout. It felt great! Let’s see how I feel tomorrow after I work my legs and butt! Join me next week for my update on week two of Summer Sculpt! |
