Fitness Friday


Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back 💞

  For today's post I wanted to share a 1,000 rep at home workout!  I decided to do the workout before writing about it.  Now that I've completed the entire workout let me share what each exercise is and how it went!

  Heidi Somers aka Buff Bunny posted a video about a 1,000 rep at home workout.  After watching the video I decided to give it a go for my Friday workout.  This is such a great leg and booty workout.  While watching the video I thought that doesn't look to difficult.  Um yea, I was greatly mistaken.  My legs and booty will be sore for the next week!  Ok, not really but you catch my drift.  Call me crazy but I live for leg days.  I don't know what it is but nothing feels better to me than working out those legs of mine.  My legs have been a huge work in progress and so I like to work them as much as I can.  Thankfully, God blessed me with a booty 🍑  so for me its more of toning it.  

  Ever since I have discovered HIIT and weight lifting I have fallen in love with working out.  These type of workouts are what keep me going and I love them.  Find what type of working out works best for you.  That makes all the difference in the world.  For me, I need things that hold my interest.  Running on a treadmill for 2 hours just doesn't interest me.  This workout was a great way to take a break from the weights and high intensity cardio.  Believe me you still get in a great workout and I sweat so much during this.  I am a competitor and don't like to take the easy way out of things.  With that being said I tend to push myself in my workouts to far sometimes.  I constantly have to remind myself to chill out.  So with this workout I went full out!  You would think I would learn my lesson with these things .😏  When I do this same workout each Friday, I will cut in half the exercises that I can't quite get the full reps on.  So here is the complete workout:

100 Air Squats
100 Walking Lunges
100 Pulsing Squats
100 Lateral Lunges (50 each side)
100 Curtsy Lunges
100 Sumo Squats
100 Glute Kicks (50 each side)
100 Bulgarian Split Squats (50 each side)
100 Glute Lift Bridge
100 Lateral Squat Walk

For the workouts your not sure how to do I recommend checking out Heidi Somers video.  Here is a link to that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ldOKP7MFo8&t=590s
I would love to know your thoughts after completing this workout.  Remember only do as many reps for each that your body allows you to. (I should take my own advice 😂 )

Until next time, have a great day and God Bless 😊

Getting My Groove Back!

Hey Ya'll, January 1, 2014 I embarked on my own weight loss journey.  I had attempted many times before but I made sure this time was different.  On the outside I seemed like a happy person but on the inside I was disgusted with the person I saw.  I remember crying myself to sleep at night and feeling like maybe I am meant to just be a "bigger girl."  This was my lowest point in life when I was at my own rock bottom.  It was a dark and negative place that I never want to return to.   Ever since I was a little girl I had always been chubby and would look at food and felt like I gained 20 pounds.  I didn't know what moderation was and ate because I loved food (still love food).  Many people don't know this about me but I had a binge eating disorder that I kept very private.  Food controlled  my life and it was my go to especially during stressful times.  So on January 1, 2014 I told myself that my resolution would be to get the weight off.  We have all

Update on Mom

Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back 💞 Todays blog post was not easy to write but with permission from mom she has allowed me to share a moment that I pray no one ever has to face. August 15, 2017 a day that seemed like any other day.  Mom and I were on our way to the cancer center.  While I was pulling into the parking garage mom gets a phone call.  The call was from her radiation oncologist informing her of a stat MRI.  We walk into the cancer center like all the other times we have.  She gets her lab work and we walk over to her little pod waiting for treatment.  The nurse comes over and informs us that they needed to start an iv for the MRI.  I began getting a little anxious due to the urgency the nurses and doctor had.   Mom has been very unstable and weak the past couple of weeks.  Walking has become a struggle for her and it just seemed like mom was moving backwards towards recovery.  We place mom in a wheelchair and I wheel her down to the outpatient imaging.

The Past Month...

Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back💞 I wanted to explain why I haven't uploaded a blog post in a while.   The picture I chose today is a major part of why I've been so busy.  I began classes again and just wanted to show off the beauty of UA.  My school schedule is Monday through Friday and I'm a full time student.  This semester has been hard for me though.  I love learning and attending my classes, the problem I am having is wanting to be social.  A huge part of me just wants to be able to attend each of my classes and not talk to anyone.  I have changed in a major way ever since receiving the news on mom.  Some of my classes are also challenging for the simple fact what we talk about is something I can relate to.   Earlier this week I really wanted to withdrawal from this semester.  School became overwhelming and I just didn't know how I could get through this semester.  I felt guilty for going to school and be away from mom.  In between and after my cla
