What a week

So I did one Les Mills Pump workout last week and I was sore for days!  No joke... Days!  B it felt so good.  I apparently hadn't used those muscles in a long time.

And the. Life happened... I didn't push play...  Until yesterday.  I am back at it, again.  

I am putting this out there to you all...  I will check in at least once a week and update you on my progress with this amazing program.

Now, I do need to get my eating back under control.  So I am back to the 21 Day Fix eating plan.

Maybe... One day, I will be bold enough to try for the 21 Day Fix Extreme.  I think what scares me about that program is the lack of treats!  

I love my treats, and I know I could go 21 Days without treats, but I don't know if I want to.  I don't plan to ever compete in a bikini/physique competition.  It's just not my cup of tea.  More power to you, if you want to or do compete.  I have respect for the work that those people put in.

Anyway, I have a 5k, the Color Vibe, run coming up. Although I do wonder how much of a run it will be, or more of a party. 

What does your week look like?

Did you push play?

So in Team Beachbody, we talk about pushing play a lot.

Anyway, lately I've not been pushing play, because I've been running... and running a LOT!  But that goes without saying.

Anyway, I decided to get off my buns and do a hybrid of running and weights.  My chosen program, Les Mills Pump.  I had bought it on Black Friday, during the big sale and just never opened it.

Anyway, so Monday, I ran...  I only got in about 2.25 miles, but I got out there.  My pace wasn't great, but I will get better.  I hadn't run, really, since the GSC.  I did do one day, randomly the week after the races.  Tuesday ended up being a rest day, completely, because my day is just super busy.

Funny thing, today I was feeling muscles in my butt that I hadn't felt before.  And this was before I worked out.  So weird.  It's not like I totally changed it up yet.  But I did go out a little faster at the beginning than I wanted to on Monday.  And I am paying for it now.  I may have fired up muscles that I hadn't used in a long time... since my sprinting days in high school and college.

Anyway, my goal with my running is to get my mile split down to 10 min mile.  I have a LONG way to go.  currently my mile split is around 13 mins 30-ish seconds to 14 mins.  It isn't horrible, but I want to be faster.

I have also decided to truly transform my physique, I need to start strength training.  Plus, strength training will help with my speed.

So today, I pushed play.  Day one of Les Mills Pump, complete!  Holy cow!  I am feeling it.  I am ALREADY feeling it!

I did figure out that certain exercises, I will have to up my weight.  I started with just using the bar with no extra weight on in.  I wanted to make sure my form is good, before adding weights.

I have a feeling this program will be a good one for me to get comfortable with weight lifting.  Eventually I will move it into the gym.  And who knows, I may feel confident enough to try out the Les Mills Pump class at the gym.  But for now, I will continue to push play.

So, I have been sidelined

Just to let you all know, I have been sidelined, but not for too long.  

I had my gallbladder removed yesterday, Dec 2.  But I am not down completely.  Obviously, I am not currently working out.  

But once I am cleared, I am back at it.  I will be continuing my half marathon training, and doing PiYo. 

After the half, I will be switching to LES MIlLS PUMP.  I always wanted to try it, because it was offered at the different gyms I had been a member at.  I was always so intimidated to try it though.

Anyway, now I have no excuse.  I am excited to see what my results will be.

What are your fitness goals?  What do you need help with?

I will also probably be going to the gym, as well.  I am taking a new approach to my workouts.  I am, once I am finished
