Fitness Journal – Day 23 of 90

Day 23! Each day brings us closer to completion of 90 days. I wonder if I’d want to continue to do this after the 90 days are over, but we shall see when that time comes along.

Morning

My goodness, my coffee beans still haven’t arrived. Tracking still says “pre-shipment” since last week and my card was charged before that, so I sent an email to see what’s up. I had a couple single serve coffees with some smoked salmon and cheese this morning. Work was rather demanding this morning, so my focus was on that for a while. 

Today’s Workouts (Part 1 of 2)

How funny… yesterday’s “total body” workout was rather butt extensive, and today is a booty workout day. I did the first 2 videos before lunch – 

  • Quick & Crazy Cardio Workout – yep, this was rather quick and crazy. The whole workout time was around 3 minutes. Amazing!
  • 30 Minute Extreme Butt Shaping Workout – this one hurt, but in a good way. You start on all fours and work your right glute, then your left glute, and then flip onto your back for bridging the remaining of the video. 

Early Lunch

The kids’ new schedule means an earlier lunch. Their lunch break is now from 11:30AM – 12:30PM so we’re eating earlier lunches now. The husband cooked some spaghetti with some bell peppers and onions with a tomato sauce, topped with some corn. Yum, flavorful! The longer lunch break is rather nice since we eat for the first 30 – 40 minutes and then walk the dogs for the remaining 20 minutes or so. 

Today’s Workout (Part 2 of 2) and Weather

Somehow I’ve become much more appreciative when the sun comes out. I used to enjoy the cold and couldn’t stand the sun, but have noticed the gloominess has taken a toll to my mood and am generally happier when there is some sun shining through the windows. Anyways, I did the third (and final) video after lunch – 

  • INSANE Butt Blaster – this one was under 10 minutes and it was alright. It kind of builds from the previous video with similar movements. My left side definitely felt it!

Pre-Dinner and Dinner

The rest of the afternoon was spent working and snacking. I took a shower after work and played some Homescapes until dinner time. Curses of that addictive game… taking time for me to do anything productive! 

Dinner consisted of some Indian food – a variation of chicken vindaloo and creamed spinach curry, with a side of naan. So good! 

Simple Evening

It’s one of those nights when the TV is on for a long time. We were watching many episodes of Worth It on Hulu, and that made me want sushi so badly. The kids then switched to watching a different show about otters and kept calling me over when the otters are doing something cute or if there’s a squirrel or squirrel-like creature on the screen. Aw, they know me so well! I love squirrels. 

The heath bar and waffle cone ice cream tasted much better tonight than last night. It was really good when I didn’t get any of the almond bits. False advertising there as the front of the box did not specify almond bits along with the heath bar pieces and waffle cone chunks. 

Today’s Overview

I definitely did not skimp out on the snacking today. I have such a weakness for things with great textures, such as the chewiness of dried mangos and the crunch of the chips. Yum! I do feel that I may have had too much salt again since my mind is feeling a bit odd again after dinner. Today’s weather was great. It reached 70 degrees F today, much higher than the 40s in the morning.
