oh boy!!!

so this is the week...
i started up again the BBM for the next 90 days and decided to tough it up with the routine Briana imagined for the 4weeks before HER next BBM...
so this week i managed to do both on
DAY 1, 2, 3, but on day 4 i was shooting and there was no time for me to squeeze in both work-out and i decided i'd try harder on day 5 but as the week went on and got busier
well DAY 4 turned into my forced REST DAY as i didn't manage to double the work-outs
so DAY 5 was only the BBM and today DAY 6 i did the BBM and the work out of the week
so yay week's over
but not really as tomorrow will not be my rest day as i'll be doing all i should've done on DAY4
now there's also a disappointment my weight has not dropped for three weeks and that is tough to go through i am lucky it was the same for the first round and i am not quiting this time i shall be patient no matter how low i get when the numbers aren't going anywhere
now i realise it may be my doings (with the eating being too chocolaty or not enough potassium)
but as i see i'm getting fitter anyway and that the point
well MY point was to stick to a program for 90 days and that was actually done, and now i'm challenging myself into sticking to it another time but more so making it a way of life...sure there will be days where i won't do the work outs but the point is to get healthy and moving and doing things and not deciding that having excuses is good enough to do nothing

so i shall say whether you want to drop size, weight, get healthier or realise who you are, do this program
at least this one is real, it makes YOU face Yourself and what you want to do with YOU...
at least i have realised i am my own project and I deserve time for working on it :p
next week (as tomorrow will be my cardio )
is body builder for BBM (10 short mn workout that kills you :D)
and what briana has in store for week 2 is a surprise only revealed on monday so
see ya ;)

BBM 2.0 or not

hello ladies and lads
well it is one of those days where you have your mind set up on something
such as me starting again the BBM for 90 days and setting up some friends to accompany me
and then gaze over briana's website to find she has planned 4 weeks of work-outs until the next challenge May 5th so now it is time to choose
and i don't know if i mentionned i'm a pure piscean and thus any choice is like torture for me
do i stick to my original idea and jump straight away in another 90 days challenge or do i switch and do a 4 weeks follow up and then start a 90days...
i was oscillating between the two when i realised nothing stopped me from doing both
i mean 3 days a week that'd be two muscles strengthening and 3 days will be cardio, probably 20mn HIIT session and 45 mn brisk walk...
so i guess nothing stops me from joining the two and having a 30mn session instead of a 8 to 10mn three times a week and an hour long cardio...
i mean it makes sense to me (i hope it does it for you too)
so here it is
This week's BBM is
fit test (so 8mn roughly)
and this

and because i am THIS focused on getting back into my before pregnancy weight before heading to Dublin for two weeks i am also adding an hour of tennis game tonight with a 15year old boy (so I should be dead alright I MUST REMEMBER TO STRETCH OR TOMORROW CARDIO WILL HURT!!!)

Just because i don't know how often i'll get a chance to update,
Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be the above strenght work out
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday will be an hour long cardio (20mn HIIT session plus 45mn brisk walk)
talk soon
and good luck

oh boy

i thought being so close would give me an extra push but it did not
everyday was a struggle as my mind kept quiting, finding excuses, fighting to follow what i needed to do
results= two weeks in a row with no results on the scale
and mind you i shouldn't even have checked my weight as this is NOT what the challenge was about and IT DOES AFFECT how you push yourself (or not) when you see little results (to none)
so learn the lesson...do not check your weight, i think once every week or if you can even once every fortnight would be best!!!
so monday or DAY 85
 tough tough tough day where i didn't want to do anythingpush myself (by literally gearing up and then had to do something) and did the work out ( a tough one at times) but at least it was quick
so that was that!

DAY 86 bless the cardio day of tennis as it does not feel like a work out (i mean it does thanks to the amazing teacher and the bucket of sweat) but it is pleasant as if you're learning and enjoying yourself (which i tend not to feel while jogging/walking briskly

DAY 87
jumped outta bed to do it as i knew i'd have no time that day managed to do it under 15mn and of i went
that was a great feeling as the day had just started and i had already done my work out
now i realised i've been moaning about this program (well about working out) for a week or more
but it's due to my schedule which has been increasingly busier and more stressful in the pas month and half due to a deadline loaming (well zooming at this stage cos it's friday the due date)

DAY 88
NORMALLY I LOVE THURSDAYS as i meet my FAP and do a cardio with her but today i wasn't sure she'd come so i did a 20mn HIIT alone and then she called so feeling mighty low about that (then to realise it should've been 45mn cardio) so tough mental day :(

DAY 89
was due a 20mn HIIT session but realised i had done that the previous day so went for a 49mn walk at 4,5 miles/h whoohooo!!!!

DAY90 Which was saturday was a rest day for me (as saturdays are always mad with the little fellow)

and thus it was today!!!!!! 

Yay i finished,  mighty proud of me to have stuck to the program and though i did not improve much on a fitness  test since day 12 (:( )

i did however lose
18.48 pounds, 62.23 inches in total !!!!!
oh my my
now this feels amazing
and i am faaaaaar from where i want to be but it sure feels good to have succeeded in MY OWN PERSONNAL CHALLENGE
i wanted to stick to a program for 90 days (as i do not have will power)
well i do now i have the awesome feeling of achieving something (thanks to the support of two fantastic beings my FAP and a friend of mine in ireland)
realising i do have will power, it's just buried far far far under a pile of s***** and chaos

so well done me and self-congratulations!!!
I CAN DO ANYTHING IF I PUT MY MIND TO IT! (and so can YOU)


now i am back on straight away,
my goal is to find myself again
both fitnesswise, mentally and bodily...
briana (from bikinibodymommy.com will start another brand new 90 days challenge on the 5th of may which i would encourage anyone to do) but as for myself i am starting the same program again
from tomorrow on...if you need me to be your accountable partner just drop me a line and i will happily accept (those are crucial believe me)

so from now on i shall follow briana's program (the same one as this round) AND add some stuff of my own when i get the chance (timewise)
bring on another 90 days (5th of july it's a date)
talk soon peeps
and good luck with it!!
oh my fitnesspal was my nutrition advisor as i am incapable of following any diet (any restriction is felt like a torture so there's no point to do it and fail at it, better counting calories and following this pal)
