WOWZERS!

Last week was week one of my pinup photo shoot prep. Let me just say it didn't go as good as I planned. I didn't get all my cardio in and I ate some things I should have eaten. Hey, I am human I know but I can't use that old excuse anymore if I want to transform into a new me. :)

This week is going lots better but still not able to get the AM cardio in yet. I  have been really exhausted and my body is taking long to recover. So I decided to order some supplements today to help me out. I am not a big advocate of supplements but I think they are much needed right now. My body is taking a pounding and I need to make sure my body is getting what it needs to support my level of activity.

Sunday I did an upper body circuit and lots of jump rope and plyometrics. I had to combine 3 days of workouts into one. I don't recommend doing that but I had to feel like I was making progress so I did it. I was super exhausted though for the rest of the day.

Monday I did my lower body circuit at the gym and managed to get about 45 minutes of cardio in as well. I ate well but didn't stick exactly to the meal plan because I didn't go grocery shopping. I still ate clean though. I bascially ate tuna from a can all day. :(

Tuesday I did my upper body circuit at home and jump roping and plyometrics to get my heart pumping. I can't even repeat what  I did becasue I always make up crazy intense workouts on the spot. LOL!

 I am really enjoying working out with a bunching bag I have in my backyard. I do several things on it and with it. I jump over it. I squat down and pick up one end and throw it up and catch it and squat back down. I do burpees on it by placing my hands on it and then doing a pushup at the bottom of movement. I also use it as my bench when I am lifting weights.

Yesterday I did a combo move that went like this: lay on back and do chest press them sit up and stand up curling dumbells and then transitioning into a shoulder press. Then reverse the move and repeat again. Ummm yay I tried this on my second circuit and could only muster up 10 of them with my 20 lb dumbbells. I was already depleted by then. :)

For a few years now I have been dealing with a foot problem. I think this is what I have http://www.livestrong.com/article/3319-need-plantar-fasciitis/. My heel feels extremely bruised when I do too much walking, running or jumping. I could barely walk down my stairs last night. The pain was so intense.

I feel the need to see a foot doctor now because this prevents me from doing a lot of the activities I want to do like run and jump rope. :(

So that is a little recap of what I have been doing lately. I am doing lower body today and 1 hour of cardio so  will fill you in on Friday. :)

Thanks for checking on my journey!
