Busting the old sneakers out and for good reason. Lately I have been in a funk, and have been feeling BLAH!
Is it the season change? I hate cold weather, (hopefully one day I’ll appreciate it, because it’s my husbands favorite), no it’s been a really sunny fall.
It all started when summer ended, Olivia left, and my life became more confined to my mini van running from activities, errands, drive throughs, preschool, ect. I literally could feel myself becoming a slug.
I needed to increase my activity levels along with my endorphins…so here I am, back at it.
Just because I am not technically trying to drop pounds, I am loving all the changes I have started to feel in just a short (very short) amount of time. I have been sleeping better, I go to bed way more tired and wake up energized. I love that I can feel my muscles again, I feel alive when I feel my muscles ache.
If you have started to feel at all in a funk or like a slug this fall I strongly recommend adding a little exercise routine into your life.
I am no pro, but I do one of two things: a fat burn cycle on the treadmill, or my personal preference workout dvd’s.
I rotate every night between
zumba (wear wrist weights that have finger holes preferably)
turbo jam (wear wrist weights)
Bob Harper (I do 20 mins beginner with 3 lb. weights, and I feel it every morning)
Tae Bo (wrist and ankle weights) *only wear ankle weights when doing stationary movements, never go running in them it will cause you shinsplints
Youtube (the 8 min abs, buns, arm, legs, and stretch, all while wearing wrist and ankle weights)
I am all about switching it up, working different muscles, and using light weights for sculpting. I do it after my kids fall asleep. I can no longer wake up before them and workout in the morning. I am personally more of a night owl so a night routine works best for me.
Another thing I have noticed is I have been eating a little less dinner and no desserts, knowing I am going to workout after helps me control myself a little more.
I also have been laying off my diet Dr. Pepper and chocolate covered cinnamon bear addiction, kinda. My cravings have simmered down a lot more since my routine.
This is what works for me and my lifestyle. One day I’d like to get back into a gym and take classes again. But my kids get sick in all gym daycares and I am not going to wait until they grow up until I workout again. So for now I workout with my tv, and it’s the 30 mins a day of solo time I look forward too most.
Have a great day everyone!
As far as consistency, 310Shake reviews say that it is fairly thick. When contrasted with other health shakes, most purchasers are very shocked at exactly how thick this is. The consistency is so thick because the drink is pressed with a variety of proteins, fiber, cancer prevention agents and different supplements. The maker’s behind Shakeology purposely made the shake thick so it would make the consumer feel full. Or else the health shake would not have filled you completely.
Great post! I agree that switching it up and finding what you love are huge components to staying consistent. Thanks for sharing!
