Hammer Power, baby! Unfortunately I don't think it was as hard for me as it could have been. My right shoulder has been tight and even though I want to push myself, I'd rather lift less and let my shoulder come around than lift heavy, injure myself, and then be out for who knows how long...

Chisel Agility! I'm tired and sweaty.

Got my workout in! Chisel cardio...it's amazing how much your heart rate can climb even when you're not running or doing the usual cardio everyone thinks about! . . In other news, my left hip and knees (especially the left) have been really tight. Any advice on how to alleviate that?

I'll tell you what...my shoulders are going to be hella sculpted at the end of this program. The burn is real.

Waited to do my workout until this evening because I knew our bench was being delivered today! It was (one of) our rewards for completing 80 Day Obsession and Body Beast. Which reminds me, I still need to post our before and afters... . Full disclosure, my eating habits took a plummet this week. I kept meaning to post about it on Monday, but I never finished the draft...quick recap, I spent Sunday through Tuesday eating HORRIBLY. (I'm talking nothing but sweets and Club crackers) . I honestly think that deplete days did me in. As much as I'd like to get 8 hours of sleep a night, it's usually between 4 and 5. My body needs those carbs to provide me enough energy to get through my day. So by day 7, my body was tired, my mind was tired and I lost control. . I'm not upset though. It was a lesson I needed to learn. Maybe when I am able to get my sleeping habits in order I'll be able to do things like carb cycling, but for now, my body needs to be properly fueled by healthy/complex carbs. . It's been a struggle to resist the urges. Last night I only slept for 3 hours and since I had that taste of junk food earlier this week, it was that much easier to give in. . The good news is that in the past, I used to use my indulgences as an excuse to just binge. Even though I had more than enough crackers and yogurt covered pretzels, I still could have kept going. But I kept telling myself that it was my mind playing tricks on me. I ate a Halo which satisfied my sweet tooth and told myself, "Stop. You aren't hungry, you're tired. Drink some water, get your workout done, and get some rest." . And on that note, I'm off to shower and catch some sweet zzzzzzzs.

I've had a headache for a few hours now so I'm thankful that day 4 of Hammer and Chisel was only 25 minutes long. Iso Speed Hammer. A lot of these moves are really testing my balance!

I owed myself some cardio. Tried out Hammer Plyometrics which was day 2. Plyo push-ups were hard on my wrists so I had to opt out half way through the second round. Feeling good, though.

Day 3 Hammer and Chisel. Will be making up day 2 on rest day.

Back at #day1! Hammer and Chisel! Ready for more muscle building and toning. . . Just when I thought I had started to perfect my balance, Chisel Balance happened. Haha. . . The rows to piston squats at the end were killer! Check my story to see what I mean.

#day1

I. Am. Done! Day 80! I will be doing a full blog post on Monday about it, but right now, I'm going to enjoy my family day and rest up before we start Hammer and Chisel on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Okay so Phase 2 Cardio Core was a bit harder than I recall, but still felt sooooo good! Day 79 is over. I only have one more day to go this round! . . I'll be honest, I'm ready to move onto something different for now. I'll be meal planning tonight! For the most part my nutrition will stay the same, but I will be losing one 💚 and one 🥄

Bye Total Body Core! Haha I didn't want to, but I did it and finished it! It was the worst rep combo (in my opinion). It's where we do each exercise 15 times then start back at the top for round 2. I'm not a fan because not only are there more reps in one go, but you can't just get it over with. . . My two least favorite workouts are done for the week! (Cardio Flow and Total Body Core, if you're wondering.) I honestly can't recall how Cardio Core was for Phase 2 (which is what I'll be doing tomorrow) so it's possible that I'm not out of the woods yet...but I'm so close I don't care!

Note to self because this is the second time you've done this...you don't like nutmeg sprinkled on stuff...you just like the smell.

When breakfast is a 💚❤️ and you don't feel like eggs...

Oh how I wish this were true... . . Regrann from @caseyandthebear - I had the most delicious snack today at Port Orleans French Quarter— beignets!! You can order them in a set of 3 or 6 & I opted for the caramel dipping sauce also! They fry them on the spot so they are always super fresh and delicious and worth any kind of diet skipping for sure.. Have you stayed at this resort? I posted some photos in my story of the grounds.. it’s so peaceful and relaxing! #beignets #portorleansfrenchquarter #pofq #wreckitralph2 #thebunnygetsthepancake - #regrann

Leg day is OVER! My legs are tired, but my forearms are reeeeeeeeeaaaallly tired. I'll tell you what though. I have THREE! Count 'em 1.2.3. more workouts left of 80 Day Obsession and I am done! . . Side note...I pulled out this old mirror to check form and it was spot on! I wish I had a mirrored wall to always check form. When I get tired it's easy to forget form.
