I did this today: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K-8YS6L7ARU
Good grief!!! While I'm certain I didn't burn the promised 1000 calories (I never get close to the projected amount because of my height and weight), I am certain that I got a helluva work out! It lasted for a solid hour and contained 3 sections. It began and finished with HIIT and did strength training in between. The strength series was a welcomed break.
If you are looking for a serious work out that you can do at home, sans equipment, give this a whirl. I was a sweaty mess!!!
Happy Saturday.

Saturday stay home work out
One of my favorite at home work outs are the ZuzkaLight ZWOW series on YouTube. Zuzka is a hot Russian fireball who will absolutely kill you. Her work outs are super short and super intense.
Today, I challenged myself by doing the following 3 work outs. I love these work outs in particular because they are real time. I don't have to worry about setting a timer, and it makes it go by so much faster when I feel like she is doing them with me. I was drenched in sweat by the time it was over. You better believe I feasted tonight after this craziness! Embarrassing, but as I look down while typing this, I see that chocolate has fallen into my Ergo carrier and my little girl is wearing the evidence of the chocolatey goodness I had for dessert. I'd blame her but she is really only into milk.... Guilty.

Breakfast bowl, work out and smoothies
A miracle happened last night. My little girl only woke up once, and then she slept until 8:30am! I am still in shock. I guess Fuss Fest 2014 yesterday really wore her out!
Today is my very first What I Ate Wednesday (or half-day). I have been a fan of Jenn's blog for some time now, and one of the reasons I decided to start my own.
Today is my very first What I Ate Wednesday (or half-day). I have been a fan of Jenn's blog for some time now, and one of the reasons I decided to start my own.
Today, started out with a breakfast bowl of this:
I mixed together ~1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup Fiber One Honey Cinnamon cereal, a sprinkle of PB2 and almond milk. Yum! Cereal is one of my most favorite foods in the world, and I always overeat it.... always... until today. It dawned on me that if I added the Greek yogurt it may actually fill me up. It worked! I did grab a few handfuls of green bean chips... but that doesn't count. :o)
My work out today looked like this on the treadmill:
Run 1 mile at 6.3mph
.25 miles at 7mph
.25 miles at 6.8mph
Repeat
Run 1 mile at 6.5mph
.25 miles at 8mph
.25 miles at 6.8mph
Repeat
Run 1 mile at 6.3mph
.25 miles at 7mph
.25 miles at 6.8
Repeat
It was a good one to break up the treadmill monotony.
Post work out shake:
It may not look too pretty, but it was tasty!
1/2 avocado
2 handfuls greens
1 orange
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup rhubarb
a few drops stevia or honey to sweeten
1 cup water
The avocado made it so nice and creamy. It was a new smoothie addition for me, but one that I plan on using a lot more of.
Lunch today followed almost immediately after, and was way too ugly to take a picture. I made a big salad with 2 pouches of StarKist Tuna Creations, lots of blue cheese yogurt dressing, green bean chips and croutons. it was yum.
I love this dressing so much. I go through a bottle a week. It is so great. Highly recommend all Bolthouse Farms products.
Time to shower and get going! Dinner tonight will probably be out. I'm getting some serious cabin fever... I need to start finding places conducive to bringing a 2 month old....

Worlds greatest app
Nike Training Club
Yes! Download it now. This is the best free app around for a kick butt home work out. I work these into my work out regimen about twice a week and each time they pack a great punch. Today, I completed Pioneer.
This was a 45 minute cardio/strength work out that really got my heart rate up fast! Some of the things I love about the app: each work out is timed, contains an explanation and video of how to complete each move, and has several options to keep it entertaining. It is perfect for days when I have to literally stop and start a work out every 10 minutes to tend to a newborn.
The app has work outs for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels and are divided into the categories of: Get lean, get toned, get strong or get focused.
Highly recommend!
