TGIF!!!

Hey Kids!! HAPPY FRIDAY!! WOOT! How was your day?? Mine was fantastic!! I'm SO excited, there is just so much awesome stuff coming up that I'll be sharing with you.....stay tuned, that's all I can say!! 

I had a killer workout this morning- did some P90X Plyo followed by some Cathe Butts N Guts- one of my all time favorites. Overall it was a 700+ calorie burn sweatfest! I'm pleased as pie. I mean, protein. ;-)

Tomorrow I have a long run scheduled and am very excited!! Then I'm heading over to Miss Amy's house for some Halloween festivities. That woman just rocks my life. Seriously, it's like God sent her down on wings of....whoa, that sounded deep even for me. 

Love you Amykins!!! 

Have you kids incorporated Plyometrics in your routines?? Let me tell you, it is wonderful. A lot of Cathe's HIIT workouts are plyo, the Insanity workouts are mostly Plyo, and even figure competitors use plyo sets in between weight sets to keep the heart rate up and the sweat flowing. 

Here is a peek at some Cathe plyo:

You get the idea- TONS of ways to incorporate plyo into your routine and for that matter, get a great sweat on even if you are on the road! You can do plyo in your hotel room! A few key home gym items and you can take it up a few notches at home. Or outside. Kids- go to YouTube and do some searching on Plyometrics- a buttload of videos FREE. Enjoy. 

Now, on that note, I must depart. I have plans tonight and gotta try to get prettylicious. ;-) Have a great evening- see you tomorrow! ;-) 

Way to end the week.

Yea. I'm not HERE now, but this is the next thing I am planning. It is LONG OVERDUE for a Caribbean vacation. And I'm thinking probably another month or so away but still. Something to visualize as I sweat and sweat and sweat and SWEAT!

I ended the week by doing P90X Plyo. Holy Mother of God!!! This is an hour workout and I burned 610 calories. Funny thing is, I kept noticing that my heart rate was pretty much 145-160 the whole time. And yes, I was a sweaty mess. I guess I think funny....more so just comparing the Cathe HIIT workouts, to this Plyo to Insanity. The Insanity workouts are by far the hardest and your heart rate is UP there, for me that means like 160-180. With Cathe HIIT and P90X Plyo- My heart rate was usually in that 150-160 range. So...I like the idea that I have several variations of cardio...the kickboxing ones are more of the 140-150 heart rate. 

My goal is that regardless of what my workout is, I hit a 500 calorie burn. I'd like to shoot for a minimum weekly burn of 2000 calories, ideally shooting more for 3000 or 3500. **Please note this is me working at this intensity to lose the fat I need to. I need to have this much cardio/fat burning in my plan or I will lose too slowly. This, combined with a solid/pristine diet should SHOULD have me really losing fat ideally at 2lbs a week. That would be awesome. THEN when I reach that, I will tone the workouts down, probably substitute the Bikram Yoga for 2 days or something....We will see. 

I made a yummy lunch today. Made this spicy "taco" topping for a "Taco Salad". I put 1 package extra lean turkey breast in the pan, cooked it, added 1/2 packet hot taco seasoning, added 1 can Ro-Tel, 1 can Fat Free Refried Black Beans, some garlic salt.....this makes 5 servings of 223 Calories/2g fat/18g carb/32g protein. I put this mess on top of lettuce with 1/4 cup shredded Mexican Cheese Mix (110 Cals), top it with that new Ranch/Salsa dressing (measured, at 60 calories) with some tomatoes and salsa....the whole shebang was: 393 calories/15g Fat/22g Carb/39g Protein...VERY FILLING. Very Yummy. 

Post workout I needed that P90X Recovery drink. I love that stuff. DANG!
