Basically, I work out every day... but different muscle groups each day. There aren't any "rest" days unless I feel like I need one. However, one of the days each week is just cardio. I do T-25, which is a Beachbody program, 6 days a week so that is part of this plan also... It only takes 25 minutes each day. I highly recommend it!!
Sunday: T-25 Cardio & cardio with Corey.... which I feel like is probably what he remembers from out on the football field and it just about kills me.
Monday: T-25 Speed & back and chest with Corey... mostly with free weights and a couple of things using body weight.
Tuesday: T-25 Total Body Circuit & arms with Corey... I think this is where he kills me the most. His arm work outs are hard and I want to die halfway through them. I scream, throw minor childlike fits, and my arms shake like crazy, but I always get through it and feel majorly accomplished afterwards. I just can't blow dry my hair the next day.....
Wednesday: T-25 Ab Intervals (killer) & more abs with Corey.... Ugh, I hate this day.
Thursday: T-25 Lower Focus & arms with Corey... Pretty much the same as Tuesday but we focus more on triceps than anything else this day.
Friday: T-25 Cardio & legs with Corey... My legs are sooo sore from doing T-25 all week because you do hundreds of squats and lunges, that I'm actually kind of dreading this day.
Saturday: T-25 STRETCH :) and I guess this would be my "rest" day but I still have to get my cardio in.
*I have to get 5-10 miles of running in a week... doesn't matter what days.*
As far as eating goes.......
Breakfast - 8 oz of Naked juice every morning
Snack - apple/banana/strawberries/blueberries (one of these sliced up)
Lunch - Usually salad but some days whatever is left over from the previous night's dinner. As far as salad dressing goes, I don't go all crazy... It has to taste good or I'm not going to eat it every day. My favorites right now are Olive Garden's Italian dressing (light version), Catalina fat free, and light thousand island.
Snack - carrots/cucumber/celery and I try to eat whichever one I have that day without dipping, which is a challenge with celery.. haha If I'm having celery I usually use a tiny bit of ranch dressing.
Dinner - Different versions of chicken and fish with veggies/salad. I also found a lot of great recipes on Pinterest recently that I've loved. I just try to stay away from carbs as much as possible at dinner but I'm not super strict either. I eat what I want at dinner, while trying to be mindful of how healthy it is.
Snack - I usually don't eat after dinner unless I'm super hungry. If so, greek yogurt, fruit, or a couple of peanut butter crackers.
I also TRY my best to drink one gallon of water a day. This has been the biggest challenge for me.
So there it is... Hope this helps those of you that wanted to know what each day looked like. If you want more details of the work outs, I don't mind at all to help ya out there. :) This is all about encouragement and getting through one day at a time! I am definitely NO expert but this just happens to be what works best for me.
*As of right now, I'm trying not to have cheat meals until I reach 10 lbs. At that point, I'll ease up a little but still try to stay as healthy as possible for the most part. Honestly, this has been much more about the health aspect than the weight-loss for me. I want the boys to have a good example in me.. not just their dad. And I want to be around as long as possible to enjoy this amazing life God has blessed me with.
**Highlight of my week: I am FINALLY off of caffeine. It took 5 days of drinking half a coke a day to get through the awful headaches, but I'm on day 2 of nothing and NO headache. Praise the Lord, He has been my strength!
