Healthy Holiday Survival Guide

& Party Dress Challenge 

day 2

I made it through day 1 and I'm happy to say I stuck with my meal plan and got all my workouts in!!!!   

Morning workout

Gettin in some 

DRILLS

I have to admit, I was a little hungry in the evening the 1st day, but realize it's my own DANG fault!  I WAYYYYY over ate the Sunday before I started the challenge, so naturally I would be dealing with some MAJOR cravings the next day.  Luckily, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

Today however, I feel so great!  I woke up with energy at 5am this morning and did about 30 minutes of upper body drills.  Simple stuff like push ups, tri dips, pull ups (you can do them assisted by standing on a chair and only lifting part of your body weight,) curls, etc.

Now this P.M. I'm gonna throw in some HIITS (High Intensity Interval Training) and I'll be good to go with my workouts!!!!    

**** Note, I'll explain HIITS in more detail and give you some great HIIT workouts to try in a later post, but here's the gist...

HIIT'S ARE:

"an enhanced form of interval training, an exercise strategy alternating periods of short intense anaerobic exercise with less-intense recovery periods. HIIT is a form of cardiovascular exercise. Usual HIIT sessions may vary from 9–45 minutes. These short, intense workouts provide improved athletic capacity and condition, improved glucose metabolism, and improved fat burning"



Today, along with keeping my diet clean, I'm focusing even harder on getting my water intake up!  (That's something I struggle with)  I bought a HUGE water jug at my local grocery store, and I'm carrying it around with me all day! 

HUGE WATER JUG
(This is the actual one I bought! LOL!)

We'll see if I can get anything done in between bathroom runs! :)

Below is a snapshot of what my workouts consist of this week!   Now, keep in mind, this is just a snapshot, I change it up according to my body and my schedule,  but it will give ya a rough idea. :)
