Today was a spring out of bed, love days like this, today I experimented with making dinner while working out instead of after work or in the crock pot,  so before heading to the basement put a couple of pork chops with cream of chicken and onion soup mix in the oven, it was actually done but the time I finished working out.

Today's workout was Cathe's Xtrain Supercut, this is one of those energizer bunny workout, barely a rest period and mostly compound moves, I do love it thou since you workout every pesky little muscle, I think one of my favorite move is the using the gliding disc to do burpee to jack pushups. I did a time saver workout which clocks in at 26mins.



For Cardio I did a newer Studio Sweat Spinning off of Youtube, love the music and energy of this workout.



Today I wasn't feeling any yin yoga workout started out with 2 but ended up just doing my own thing for 30mins, mainly because I knew what was tight and what I wanted to work on.

Still working on cleaning up the diet, I know this is going to be a challenge for some reason this year, not eating junk just can't stop eating.

Oh the joy of living in Ohio, yesterday was 50+ degrees with occasional rain  but none the less very beautiful day for January in Ohio, while running yesterday there were lots of people out biking and fishing, today by noon we had dropped to 30 degrees, winds @ 30mph with blowing snow, barely going to make it out of the 20s all week, oh well it was fun while it lasted.

Woke up today, with minimal stiffness, some sore around my left ankle/foot as expected but overall not too bad. Got out of bed and did 40mins of spinning using iCycle been awhile since I did one of this, fun as usual with Keith, could feel the lactic acid in the legs but the ride felt great, afterwards tried a new to me yin  yoga with Sufey, I like the practice but the chatter at the beginning was too long and normally I don't care for music during for some reason I didn't mind her singing, it seems to go with the practice. I love the pigeon against the wall, could really feel the butt muscle, but felt so much better when done.



Wasn't sure if doing 21miles yesterday was a good idea but I feel great today except for some minor aches and pain, now to add back working on nutrition to get the weight down.

 Back from vacationing in Florida and after just about a week off from working out except for a day of elliptical/Strength (nice 2 hour combo) and a day of Yin Yoga did nothing but sleep and eat. With Rock and Roll New Orleans now around the corner time to get back at it, am off the whole week so that should help.

 Since I am still on vacation, I did sleep in and after a nice cup of coffee got the workout done.

Today I started Cathe's  Ripped With HIIT/Xtrain Rotation, which of cause started off with Xtrain Hard Strikes I could feel every roll jingle during those jumping jacks then those dreaded situp/pushup combo just about killed me I was one whole set behind Cathe but got it done.




Then 25 mins of HIIT Spinning using Global Cycling Network program, love the music and structure of program, hard and short.



Finish it all of with a morning yoga from The Cexercise Trinity which I assume was going to be gentle but it wasn't, it was nice thou and I made it through the whole 15 mins, love the flow and sequencing.






At 5:45pm putting my big girl panties on since it was 37 degrees, windy and raining I met up with the BGR Motivation Monday group and did 5+ miles.

Tomorrow is another day, make it a great one.

So since am in the funky recovery/taper phase, what to do, I always go back to the old stand by of heavy lifting, spinning and yoga, this combo gives my legs the needed break but keeps things moving. Also I had a twist to the heavy lifting this time around and think I really like it, although it is making me very hungry so have to watch that, the twist with the heavy lifting is doing one body part a day and since that is all am doing which is basically 3 types of exercises + a burn set, I am able to go very heavy, for chest yesterday I was swinging the 30 pounder for chest press and today used the 40 pounder for rows YEAH ME

Busy day today my Athena Ladies Luncheon, End of Month Inventory and and ISO audit, oh so ready to crash in bed.
