40 Days to Fit! ~ Day 2
Posted by buffmother in Intervals, Running, contests on July 21st, 2009
Hey ALL!!
Well, I’ve made it through the first two days of the 40 absolutely on FIRE!! All the excitement generated by your comments; You have TOTALLY inspried me!!! I LOVE IT~ thanks!!!
That said…I’ve already had to make adjustments to my own workout POA…we decided to go to Branson next week and I’ve been really busy working the past 2 days~ so my workout have had to SHIFT a bit. I often take Mondays as my “day off” of workouts because Mondays are such crazy busy days! I need to remember to stick to that and workout on Sunday instead.
My workout yesterday ended up being a short run of about 15 mins or so…and then 10 mins of intervals on the upright bike.
Today’s workout has been about the same~ a run of about 25 mins…and then 10 mins of intervals on the bike.
FYI~ here are a few songs that inspired me during my workout today:
Britt Nicole | Set the World on Fire
Nelly Furtado -Say It Right Music Video
Colbie Caillat – Bubbly
Britney Spears – Do Something
I will do some perfect push ups here in a bit while cooking some supper for the family- I’m going to scramble up some eggs and make toast too.
Which makes me think of my mini-goal for this week~ I am striving to eat more protein!!
Since my photoshoot I’ve been slacking on getting in my protein and I keep saying I’ll start eating more- BUT that’s kinda hard when I don’t have any! I ran out of my current favorite protein powder, my favorite protein bars and I don’t have any meat in my frig! I’ve gotta go to the store tomorrow first thing!
HOPE you are as fired up as me!!! Let’s keep rocking these 40 days!!!
Set your goals!!
xoxoxo~

Well HELLO!!
This morning I went on a fasted run~I planned on doing a basic out an back of 3 miles total….well not even half way through I felt like cutting it short. Over and over again I had to talk myself into going the entire way…my thoughts of YOU kept me going!! THANK YOU!
Yesterday was a “active” rest day for me…I had a fun day! I cleaned in the morning, sun bathed in the early afternoon while listening to a few good Biblical messages on my Iphone, went for a couple little bike rides around the block with my DD Tia, then I messed around in my flower bed: weeding, transplanting, watering, etc…, then my DH and I played some “redneck golf’, and some1 on 1 basketball, then we painted a couple walls in the front room of our house and I finished off my day watching “under the tuscan sun”
It was a good day!
My POA for this week is to get a ton of work done before the 4th!!
M-run (done!), pay bills, work
T- legs, laundry
W- run and upper body
Th-photos, stats, final entry for contest…I am doing them on Thursday because I want to workout on Wednesday
F-Legs
Sa-run
Su-off
Hope that thinking of me can help you get through your workout as much as thinking of you helped me! Thanks again!!

-No carbs, protein veggies and fat only
-NO SALT Put a coat of tanner on b4 bed- Banana Boat tanner with bronzer in it is the best!
|
-No Carbs
-NO Salt -No gas causing foods -Take a water pill(diruex) B4 bed and -no water after 8(time so you have 12-16 hours without water b4 shoot) -Put another coat of Tanner on

Photoshoot day
-NO Workout -Do your measurments and stats in the am -you can have a cup of coffee -No water or carbs until after the shoot -Put another coat of tanner on -Do your hair -Over do your make up make sure you have some that will make your face a little tanner looking. What I use is a face bronzer, and 1 shade darker makeup for photoshoots. You may want to practice with this before hand. Have fun!! Bring music (have a glass of wine) Afterward Eat and drink a lot!!!

TGIF~!! and I really mean that!
What a week it has been for me…a GREAT one for workouts, a medium one for eats and a poor one for my website, lol! I’ve spent 60+hours this week working on my websites and I am so glad it’s the weekend! I need a BREAK from it!
Tonight we are having FAMILY MOVIE time~ we’ll be watching “Princess Protection” on Disney…with my 3 princesses~ and our prince and the KING~ BergerKING, lol!
I had another day “off” of workouts today, tomorrow will be upper body and sprints!! It’s been so hot outside that I MUST get my sprints done early in the morning…summer is here for sure!
I talked to my photographer today and she’s just bought a house so doing a shoot next week won’t work, but I did set it up for the 10th~ that’ll be perfect! So, I’m going to a little extra time to get extra buff!! I’ll still take my photos and do a tiny photo prep for the end of our contest next wed!!!
Okay~ so I am starving…but I’ll be back tomorrow to post a bunch more about the final week of the FCH! so stay tuned!!!!
Love ya’s!!
