sexy back!! day 2

holy sweet mother of god, was i ever tired and sore this morning!! who knew that what i saw at the time as an just easy little workout on the treadmill would have this effect! i'm just glad it's march break, and good ole BF let me sleep in until 10!! thank god for the little things!

i did ok with the diet today. not great, but ok. i say that because i went a little coffee crazy, and i probably didn't get enough protein. and of course, i'm beating myself up just a tad {and by tad, i mean SHITLOAD} for eating half a big bag of doritos last night. in bed. alone. pathetic, eh? AND i didn't even have any sex to attempt to burn it off. oh well. can't change the past, and all that shit. 

anyway, i was seriously dragging ass today. i even considered just mopping all of the floors {which needs to be done anyway, and TODAY!}, and counting that as my workout. but no. nope. fuck off self, with your lazy ass bullshit. mopping floors {even if i do ALL of them at top speed} just won't cut it! so, on i went with day 2 of this shit. like i mentioned in yesterday's post, i'm doing the oxygen circuit on day 2. it went well and i got a good sweat on. i like this workout, because even though it's lower intensity than what i'm used with insanity, i feel it working. also, i do it in the kitchen. all i need is my dumbells and i'm set. i don't have to worry about baby, because she is always in sight, and she stays out of my way. anyway, even though i did post it before, i'm going to re-post the oxygen circuit {and i have some pics too, in case anyone would like to try it}. another plus? it only takes me about 30 minutes! here it is:


run in place, 30 steps
body weight bulgarian squat, 15 reps each leg
jumping jacks, 20 reps
standing hammer curl, 15 reps
step-ups, 8 reps each leg {i used my front stairs}
push ups, 15 reps {incline 2nd circuit}
run in place, 30 steps
side plank, 20-30 seconds each side
jumping jacks, 20 reps
front raise, 15 reps {lateral 2nd circuit}
step-ups, 8 reps each leg
one arm seated row, 15 reps each arm
run in place, 30 steps
walking lunge, 15 reps each leg
jumping jacks, 20 reps
bench dips, 15 reps
step-ups, 8 reps each leg
**REST 2 MINUTES AND REPEAT, WITH INDICATED CHANGES**


and now, the pics:

bulgarian squat {i didn't use dumbells}

standing hammer curl

step ups

side plank {don't forget to breathe!!!}

front raise {1st circuit}

lateral raise

seated row {this is the best i could find. i did one armed rows, so one arm at a time, and i used dumbells}

walking lunge {i didn't use weights}

bench dips {i fucking DESPISE these!!}

that's about it. i didn't get to mopping yet, but i'll probably do that after supper. i have to do a SHITLOAD of laundry too, which means i'll be going up and down the damn stairs at least another 28 times before tonight. oh well. all part of the whole mommy deal, right? can't really have the little ones running around bare assed. 


i'm looking forward to tomorrow. i'm doing day 1 of insanity again, which is the fit test. i'm curious to see if i've made any improvement since last time {january 25}. and after that? a sweet, blessed, fucking downright BLISSFUL day off, to rest and recover. and by rest and recover, i mean do the same kitchen bitch stuff i do every damn day, but with no workout. 


XD

kitchen bitch gets her sexy back DAY 7

yeah, well... i slacked for a couple days again, due to all the craziness of the wake and funeral, and some overindulgence in the good ole red wine once the craziness had ended. i was going to work out yesterday, since i didn't have much of a hangover, but BF discouraged it, saying that it wouldn't do me any good. i usually do the exact opposite of what he advises, but not this time. i decided to be kind of lazy for another day, and spent some time on housework instead. 


so today, i had a pretty good work out with the oxygen circuit. despite my slacking, as well as the fact that this is only the third time i've done this circuit, i feel stronger. of course, it might be due to the new supp i'm taking; basically a fat burning, pre-workout type thing. whatever it is, i like it. i had tons of energy today, and i didn't crash. i only had 6 cups of coffee throughout the day, AND I'M STILL ALIVE!! lol!! i was thinking of upping the intensity of the circuit a week early, but then decided against it, at least until tomorrow to see if i have any soreness.


here's my intake:
7:30- fat burner
8:20- protein & supps
8:50- coffee w/splenda
9:50- coffee w/splenda
10:45- tuna and spinach on whole wheat
11:30- fat burner
1:30- post-workout protein & supps
    - 1/2 apple
3:00- meatloaf sandwich on whole wheat 
      w/cheddar and spinach
4:00- coffee w/splenda
5:20- coffee w/splenda
6:00- chicken breast and spinach


i have a roast in the oven right now {it's about 7pm}, which i will be slicing and wrapping later for sandwiches and stir-fries. sometime this week, i'll be making a pot of lentil and barley soup too, so i will stop eating so much damn bread. 


tomorrow's workout is going to be insanity cardio recovery. it's the least intense of all the insanity workouts, but is still pretty hard. while i won't be jumping/running around and gasping for breath, i WILL be sweating like a pig and swearing my head off at shawn t. also, after tomorrow i'm not taking a day off {i usually go 2 days on and 1 day off}, since i  feel that i had plenty of time off this week. here's hoping i can find my motivation, and stop slacking!! feel free to bitch at me to keep me from being a lazy kitchen bitch!!


see yas tomorrow :)

kitchen bitch gets her sexy back DAY 6

today i did insanity's cardio power and resistance. it was hard.. well none of insanity's workouts are easy, but this one is probably the hardest of month 1. my legs felt rubbery and weak by the half way point, but i managed to power through anyway. my weakest point is my upper body strength, but i am happy to report that i am able to do pushups now, without too much difficulty.


my intake for today:
10:00- protein & supps
11:30- scrambled eggs
12:30- coffee, 2 sugar
12:40- coffee, 2 sugar
1:30- coffee, 2 sugar
2:00- pre-workout supps
2:30- coffee, 2 sugar
4:00- post-workout supps
    - tuna, 1 tsp mayo, spinach, & crushed red
      peppers {without bread, just combined 
      and eaten.
4:30- coffee, 2 sugar
5:00- homemade flax roll w/margarine
    - coffee, 2 sugar
7:30- 1 slice pizza
    - 2 handfuls bbq potato chips
8:20- supps

kitchen bitch gets her sexy back DAY 5

was an awesome fucking day to be lazy!! i'm not as sore as i thought i would be, and feeling pretty energetic. even though i had planned to do nothing more strenuous than lift the coffee cup to my mouth, i did end up sweeping the floors AGAIN {fucking dirt BREEDS, swear to god!!}. 


here's my intake:
9:00- protein & supps
10:00- coffee, 2 sugar
     - 2 hotdogs with mustard {yes, I KNOW!      
       shit food!!}
10:15- coffee, 2 sugar
11:15- coffee, 2 sugar
12:25- coffee, 2 sugar
1:30- 1/2 ham sandwich w/spinach on whole
      wheat
3:20- coffee, 2 sugar
3:30- coffee, 2 sugar
4:25- coffee, 2 sugar
5:15- coffee, 2 sugar
5:30- coffee, 2 sugar
7:15- chicken, basmati rice, and onions {all
      just thrown together in a pan with a
      little EVOO and tons of garlic}
    - coffee, 2 sugar


i bet some of you {if anyone at all reads these lol} are like, "holy shit bitch, cut back on the coffee!!" and yes, i know i drink too much. but i'm actually doing better than i have been before my food journal, since i make myself write everything down. i'd say i drink about 20% less. 


anyway, back to the grind tomorrow. even though it IS superbowl sunday, i will still have to get my workout in {insanity cardio power and resisitance} early. and i can tell you know that i am going to be eating pizza & chips, and drinking beer. but it only comes once a year!! GOOO PATRIOTS!!

kitchen bitch gets her sexy back DAY 3

yeah, ok. i slacked like a motherfucker for a few days. i took my r&r {rest & recovery} day last week, and i just didn't know when to fuck off with the r&r. dammit, getting my pre-baby body back is hard! fuck, i'd even settle for my pre-#3 body!!


on friday night, i said fuck it, and had a couple bottles of wine after cleaning the whole house. it was fun, but did i ever regret it the next day!! needless to say, i did not work out on saturday!! that was also the day that BF came home after a 3 day absence, and we fought bitterly. every day until yesterday. and even though that is no excuse to slack on my mission to get fit and healthy, that's exactly what i did. plus, it's really fucking hard to concentrate on what to do and what to eat when you're constantly leaking tears and feeling like everything you've worked for the past 8 years no longer means a thing. but enough of that. a lot of things were said-by both of us-that needed to be said. apologies were made, and a peace treaty of sorts is in progress. 


now... today {as well as all the days i didn't blog about it}, i didn't do the food journal. i will restart that tomorrow. i'll be more likely to stick with it this time too, since i have enlisted my sisters to help me stay motivated every day. i'm lucky to have them, even though we don't see nearly enough of each other. 


today was day 3, because i am just picking up where i left off last week. and that means, it was the day for insanity's plyometric cardio circuit. this is some hard shit, but also one of my fave insanity workouts so far. here's a youtube vid i found to give you an idea of the FUCKING HELL that shawn t put me through today.

now, obviously that vid is really speeded up; the workout is actually 40 or so minutes long. i'm happy to report that i didn't have any nausea this time, and right now {about 2 hours later}, i am still BURSTING with energy. i have the boys doing their chores, potty training #3, cooking supper, and i'm hoping i have enough in me to mop the floors after. this would all be fucking amazing on a normal day... BUT today it is a fucking MIRACLE.. seeing as how i only had 3 hours sleep last night. 


tomorrow i'll be doing the fat blasting circuit from my oxygen magazine. i'm looking forward to it, because it's not as intense as insanity, but you can tell you've really given your muscles a good working.


that's all i have for today. i'm disappointed in myself for slacking, but that's done and over with. there's no point in dwelling on it any more because i can't take it back. i'll see you all again tomorrow!!
