Day 5 of my road trip and I have landed in Seattle Washington :)
I was feeling antsy because since the road trip I havent been able to workout as hard or keep as good of track at my diet like I like to.
I don't think I'm regressing but I don't feel as If I've been improving. err...... My 2 month "after" pictures are coming up on the 20th means I only have 11 more day to kick my ass!
Today's workout was at 7 am to make sure I could squeeze in my workout before anyone woke up haha
My exercises are short and intense but I like to take my time to wake up and then make my protein meal afterwards while cooling down.

10 jump lunges with 35lb bag
10 burpee toe touches
10 V up on dip station
20 plank side to side hops
10 squat jumps 35lb bag
20 oblique killers
10 ab chops
10 push ups
10 mountain climbers
10 tricep dips
5 times all the way through

Later I will either take a 5 mile run down to Green Lake or ill do 10 minutes of jumprope. Depending if B wants to run or not.
Cheerio till tomorrow!

Early Sunday Workout

Before we head out to Seattle:

You will be doing the following 2 exercises back to back with 5 seconds of rest in between until your timer tells you that 5 minutes is over. Your goal is to complete as many reps as you can during each 20 second interval.

You will repeat this sequence 6 times:

5 seconds rest

1. Push Up and Side Jump (alternating sides) – 20 seconds

5 seconds rest

2. Plank Elbow Knee Tuck – 20 seconds

Part 2

3 minute Time Challenge. You will do 5 Side to Side half squats over your exercise mat with the Sandbag on your shoulder, drop down and power up. Your goal is to do as many sets as possible during the 3 minute count down. Don’t forget to reset your timer so that it does the count down for you.

Happy Saturday!
Today is day 4 of my road trip up north and I have been consistently working out everyday and being careful with my diet. I won't lie that I miss my 2 a day workouts and my alcohol free diet though. My body doesn't feel out of wack but I can tell Im not making an progress like this. Just makes me realize how all components need to be on point to get me to my goals. I will start posting all my workouts to hold me accountable again. I havent been cheating but I find that when I write my workout schedule in advance I seem to write tougher workouts than if I just throw one together the morning of.

Today I'm constructing my own fit test and then trying to beat my scores next week

Going to do as many reps as I can in 50 secs

1.Jump Lunge Score: 36

2. Burpee's Score: 17

3. Pull ups Score 6 (65 pound assist)

4. Tricep dips Score: 6

5. Push Ups Score: 30

6. Ab Dip Station Score: 25

Then I'll do a regular workout. 

Sadly back to one a day workouts for now

but pushing myself with MAX EFFORT on these ones. Here I go.

• ONE LEG PRESS ELEVATED BALL PUSH UP'S
• CLEAN + 3X SQUAT JUMP
• ALTERNATING FORWARD/BACKWARD LUNGE AND TWIST
• HIGH KNEES SKIPPING
• Repeat three more times.

Back to the blogging. 

Finished my 30 days of 2 a days (or what you may have seen as "pictures of ridiculously ripped ladies")

Bottom line: I feel pretty amazing and I proved myself I'm in it to win it...again. 

No minute-to-win-it joke intended.

I'll post any videos, progress pictures, work outs, updates, and advice here. 

My best friend Brittany and I are hitting the road tomorrow on a two week adventure up north through Washington. I have my phone synced to this site where I'll upload photos of all our random activities and my challenges of juggling fun and travel with my health and fitness goals :)

I might even make some silly obstacles for myself.

First one I came up with is 10 burpee's every time we stop for gas. Britt may not think this as the least bit funny but.... it's happening. 

First bikini contest in San Francisco on March 24th, taking one day at a time.

I got this, psh.

My Salty Guilt Free Late Night Snack

Kale is not my friend when its raw but it sure is tasty when covered in olive oil and salt :)
Ive always needed to have some thing salty right before bed but couldnt afford the high calories salty snacks to reach my goal
So instead I tear off chunks of kale off the leaf (make sure not to include the tough middle vertical part; it's too bitter tasting)
I usually tear off pieces around the size off half a dollar bill or smaller
Then I pour some olive oil on my hands and bunch over the leaves just to speckle them with
Flat them all out on a baking sheet, shake a little salt over them evenly
and pop them in the oven at 350 degrees and WHALA!
Take them out in about ten minutes with the edges are barley golden brown.
:) Yummy
