So today I got up to run.  I had some water and a banana and I ran about a mile and a half but I had an important phone call so I was talking the whole time so it was hard to breath correctly!! I went another mile but it was a combination of running and walking.  I came home and gave the pups a tubbie and cleaned their cages, then it was breakfast time..I had some protein pancakes with some PB2 yum!

For my afternoon workout I really killed it!! I did bikini blaster 1 and 6, half of bikini blaster 1 again, bikini booty thong workout, and fat melting cardio.  I logged it all on my weighttrainer.com Some how my bikini blaster 6 got logged twice though, oops.  There is nothing close to elevated leg circles though so those didn't get logged : (  Can't wait for ALL of cassey's workouts to be on the site so I don't have to search forever and a day to find something close to the workout I did.  So I got a NOS preworkout drink and a protein shot at the vitamin shoppe on my way home from Chicago sunday.  Have you tried these????  The preworkout drink was actually not bad!  But I didn't really feel like it gave me a boost, maybe I've just been dragging a little lately, still getting nauseated throughout the day.  I felt fine this morning until I ran, seems that working out makes it a little more intense, but not during the workout, only after.  Oh well, hopefully it will be gone in a few days!

I had to work at the restaurant tonight, but look at the yummy rice the cook made me!! white rice, tomato, onion, and red pepper mmmmmm!!!  So that was pretty much my day today!!  Here's my link to my weighttraining.  if you click on all workouts, it pops down to all the ones I logged, since I logged more than one todayhttp://www.weighttraining.com/users/fitstylist/workouts/2012-06-26#

So little recap on this weekend, I went with a friend to Chicago.  We saw the White Sox play(and WIN!) Had dinner at Dick's Last Resort.  We walked around the city for a bit(so beautiful)  then went back to the hotel.  We got up and went to Millennium and Grant Park, then we tried to go to the Chicago Diner for some yummy vegetarian/vegan grub but sadly we found out that there was a Pride Parade in Boystown so there was absolutely NO parking.  So after 30 minutes of being rerouted and not finding parking we just decided we would stop by where my brother lived and have lunch in Matteson with him.  I haven't seen him in forever so that was nice!  Here's a couple pics from our trip

 So today was kind of a rough day, I wasn't feeling well.  I was nauseated all day and working out made me feel worse.  But I tried to push through as much as I could.  I did bikini blaster 5, muffintopless.  closed my browser because I wasn't feeling well, then i said, no keep going.  So I did half of bikini blaster 1, thought I would be sick so I closed my browser, said no keep going, went back and did blogilates, you've got flat abs, thought, I'm done for sure now.  Nope! Kept pushing, and did some fat burning cardio.  Then I went to the Y and did a few machines but whew I was definitely nauseated after that so I was done.  Here's a link to check out my workout for today

Here's some of my meals from the day.  I started out with protein pancakes, which I put some cherry, vanilla granola in

For lunch I had some baked chicken with spinach, sriracha and some mandarin oranges

For supper we had some grilled chicken with green beans and corn.  I put some cayenne pepper and lime juice on my corn.  YUM!  a little later I had a smoothie with banana, strawberry, spinach and almond milk.  My son even liked it! he helped me drink some of it. 

So that was pretty much my day today.  Praying I am not so icky feeling tomorrow so I can really get a good workout in.  I'd like to get a run in tomorrow morning!  That's a wrap for my day!  I plan on spending a couple hours relaxing on the couch right now.

So today was busy and slow all at once!! Slow at work(mostly because I was sooooo tired!!  I didn't finally get to sleep until about 230ish)  All the benadryl really messed with my system and made it to were I couldn't fall asleep last night without it, but I pushed through, so hopefully I will sleep tonight!  Because tomorrow one of my girlfriend's and I are headed up to CHI-TOWN!! HOLLA!  We are going to a Sox game and then staying the night and having adventures on Sunday.  Lot's to look forward to!  So here's just a few things during my day.  For lunch I had some chicken with tabasco and some DE-LICIOUS Sugar Snap peas!! mmmm

So the new frozen yogurt place opened right next to the salon and I've been waiting for it FOREVER!!  I was sooooo excited!  It's pretty awesome!  I had some nonfat blueberry tart frozen yogurt with some granola, almonds, and fresh strawberries!! oh it was HEAVEN!















So I did arms today because I have been neglecting them in order to work a little more on my abs and booty.  I did some multitasking by touching up my hair and letting it process while I worked out!  It works because most arm workouts don't require putting my head on the floor : P  So to start off I did the Call Me Maybe Squat Challenge to warm myself up and get my heart rate up and well I just haven't done it for awhile.  So with my heartrate up I did Bikini Blaster 4, Awesomesauce arms and then did some fat melting cardio!  woop woop! Here's my workout pic, the foils add a great touch, don't you think?!?!






After my workout, I washed my hair, of course, and then we went and helped unload a Uhaul for some family who moved to town...Now THAT was an arm workout! For supper everyone went to monicals...I haven't had pizza in forever!  It looks delicious but I know it's bad for me, and I also know that it will kill my insides if I eat it because I don't eat like that anymore!  So I had a chicken pecan salad with red bell pepper and onion. I love onion on my salad because it gives the salad enough flavor that I can eat it without dressing.  So I must go now and hopefully finish my yoga mat bag I started last night and finish packing for tomorrow.  Here's a link to my workout I logged on weighttrainer.com.  Good night all!

So the past few nights I have been breaking out in hives after 9pm like clockwork!  I have never had this happen and have no idea why it's happening. so I've been taking benadryl(one per day mind you) and so I feel like I've just been in a drug induced fog all day! Which is no fun at all and makes me feel awful on top of the allergy cold I've been fighting.  Nevertheless, I pushed through today and worked out for about 2 hours! woop woop!  I started out with some bikini blaster 1 HIIT it hard!
Blogilates Bikini Blaster 1

Not going to lie, I didn't go as intense as cassey, but I worked it!  Then I moved on and did about 14-15 minutes of the Bikini Blaster 6: BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY!  I've really been pushing my glute workouts lately.  I have such awesome quads and calves, I'm really working on getting that nice perky, lean boo-tay!  And I know Cassey will give it to me : P

Then I did some more cardio, I ran for about a mile and a half, which was pretty good in the heat considering I'd already been pushing hard through my drug coma!  I probably could have done a little more but I wasn't going to kill myself.  So then I went into the Drive By Inner Thigh Challenge and the What Makes You Bootyful butt challenge!

So then I ended with some oblique and muffintop exercises with the weights, just did about 50 reps for each side with the 2 exercises, so 200 reps and I used a 5LB weight today instead of the 8 I usually use.  So that's pretty much my exercise for the day.  I had a nice grilled chicken salad with about a TBS of medium sauce for the dressing. mmmm.  If you want to check out my workout on weighttrainer.com then here's the link, as well as a link to my mapmyrun.  It's been a challenging day but I triumphed!!!

First Post

So this is my first post and I just want to start off by explaining that this is just my personal blog for my fitness and health journey.  This will pretty much contain a lot of my triumphs, struggles, and everything else that pertains to the fitness and health part of my life.  Not to say I won't throw some other things in there depending on different things that happen or pop up during my day.  I probably won't post everyday, but I will do my best to consistently update you on everything.  Thank you all so much for subscribing/following/supporting me : )  This is a very important part of my life and even if I'm only speaking to a small audience, it's still worth it to me.  Heck, even if it's just something I can use to work through my own struggles and praise myself for things I've overcome then I'll be glad!  Thanks again!
