Two a Day Workouts

Last week , I decided to break up my workouts into 2 shorter sessions in a day as opposed to one very long workout session. I made that decision after reading Tom Venuto and other  experts who recommend shorter workouts of no longer than an hour for better fat burning. There are times , like on the weekends when I work, when it isn't feasible for me to workout twice, so I will have longer workouts on those days.
I must admit that I love the shorter workouts! I look forward to them even more than I already did. It seems like the time flies right by. I don't feel like I am standing there forever, and I get more done during the day. Plus I feel like I sweat more and I can tell my metabolism is fired up!
This week I even switched the order of my workouts, so I do the weight training work first . Currently that is the Chalean Extreme  program, then later I do TurboFire. I feel like I have so much more energy, I also feel like I get a bigger burn when I do lift.
Needless to say I am thrilled with my current workout schedule . I can feel my body changing which is the best part. My scale hasn't moved down, but it hasn't moved up either. I am taking more frequent body measurements to truly measure my progress. It is difficult to tell by how my clothes fit since they have been super baggy for a while now. I am still taking and posting my monthly progress pictures on my facebook page

Making Progress

I am excited to say that I had a good week last week. I ate better. I bumped up my workouts. I am doing two  Beachbody programs at the same time. TurboFire and Chalean Extreme. I don't think I have ever been this sore from workotus before. This week I am going to do two a day workouts . Each individual workout will be shorter, instead of 1 long workout. I think my body will like that better. I haven't figured out what I am going to do on days when I work yet.

Working out this hard, plus being in the Transformation Challenge has motivated me to continue to eat better. I am also a part of an online community www.gymga.com. People there post their workouts. Some even post their food of the day. It is great for accountability and motivaiton.  I have ideas from Gymga and Transformation for recipes and even better food choices.

Time for Honesty

Well I must be honest with myself. I have slipped out of my healthy habits. On Feb 19th my brother got married. I did great with workouts that weekend, but not so great with nutrtition and sleep.Since then I have fallen further into the poor nutrition abyss. This past weekend I was dealing with some sad news and just gave up  eating healthy all together. My scale is reflecting my last few weeks of my nutrition not being on point and sporadic workouts. I am up 8 lbs. (Yikes).
Yesterday I resumed tracking on myfitnesspal.com. I need to see the numbers good and bad. I had a good Yoga workout yesterday. It helped to focus my mind and also helped me to relax.
I wanted to share because this is all part of my journey to get fit. It isn't fair to just share the positives, nor is it an accurate picture of my journey. I have by no means given up on myself. I had to work through some emotional issues. Now I can refocus on getting fit.
