Linking up over at Sweaty Girl in a Fur-Covered World – come join us!
- Monday – Body Beast Build: Back&Biceps. I did this in the apartment gym so I used TRX for pullups. Sometimes I forget how much I like TRX, so I love it when I can combine it with my Beachbody workouts. I also did Blogilates Muffin Top Meltdown and Intense Abs. My FitBit says I walked 6.4 miles.
- Tuesday – Brazil Butt Lift BumBum instead of Body Beast cardio, and Beast Abs. Plus a 3-mile run.
- Wednesday – Body Beast Build:Shoulders. FitBit says I walked 8.9 miles this day. I guess that sort of makes up for my failed running and abs intentions.
- Thursday – Body Beast rest day. I didn’t have much activity at all this day – FitBit recorded only 3.8 miles walked.
- Friday – 2-mile run, Body Beast Build: Chest&Tris, and Blogilates Intense Abs. I tried to up my weights with Body Beast this day and met with mixed success. At one point during the Partial Flys, the 20-pound weight just dropped out of my hand and rolled away.
- Saturday – Body Beast Build:Legs, Blogilates Muffin Top Meltdown, and a 2-mile run.
- Sunday – Body Beast Build:Back&Biceps (using TRX on the pull-ups again) and Blogilates Intense Abs. FitBit says I walked 6.6 miles this day.
Where I fell short this week:
- Running – I am not getting in nearly as many miles as I should. The half marathon is not too far away.
- Nutrition – My calories Monday – Thursday were too low, and I went way, waaay off-plan on the weekend because of social events.
- Stretching – I need to do a LOT more of this.
- Water – 2 liters a day is not nearly enough for me and I am really feeling it.
Where I did well this week:
- Vegetables – Even on my off-plan days, I got in my minimum of 5 veggies and fruits.
- Increasing my weights – even by just a little bit, and even if only for the first set of exercises, I’m really excited by my increased strength.
- Just sticking with it -Body Beast ain’t easy and even though I’ve done the first phase of videos 3 or 4 times, I’m still
in painvery sore.
Did you workout this week? Do you take it easy on the weekends or hit the gym?

Get it girl!
I totally saw a Beach Body van in my neighborhood yesterday and thought of you! I did another little jog/walk yesterday and then a quick 20 minute power yoga. Seriously my arms and back are sore! My doctor described labor like a marathon. I’ve only done a half marathon. 🙂 Her words have encouraged me to really push more exercise (within reason). You are so inspirational!
Oooh I saw that van at the Beachbody parking where I was invited after I sent them photos of myself in my skivvies. :/
I just recovered from the flu and am back at it. I think your workouts are great. I am not getting in nearly enough miles for my half either. Fingers crossed that I get there.
I’m glad you’re feeling better! When is your half?
I love weddings. I have been fortunate enough to attend many. No planning just show up and have fun.
that is the best part – being a guest!
i’m just getting over the flu! i haven’t worked out in a week and i feel so tiny and weak 🙁 can’t wait till monday when i start again.
“Whatever it takes”
Ok you are totally making me realize how much I’ve been slacking on the weights. post race, I’m back at it!!
I am surprised how much I’m loving these workouts.
