Abcentric Day 1

Hello everyone!




Quick post before I go to bed-




Had my "Manic Monday" (work + class) and despite that and being tired as hell, I got my workout done!




I did Ab level 1 day 1 and 30 minutes walking.




Now, time to pass out.  Good night everyone!

Last workout-free day for a while

Hello everyone!




Today is the last day before I start Meta tomorrow, and I made sure I enjoyed it, haha. 


First, I went to my local MAC counter and they did a full face of makeup for me, and I bought a new shadow quad and lipgloss. (I have a beauty blog- www.obeybeauty.blogspot.com and I will elaborate there) Then, I went and got a mani-pedi.  I figured I might as well do something nice for my poor callused feet before they start taking daily DC poundings. Now they're soft, smooth, and French manicured. 


Tonight I am going to give myself a full facial at home, cleansing, toning, moisture, and even do a mask this time before bed.


Now my next dilemma is- when am I going to work out tomorrow?


I am leaving the house about 7 am and coming home about 8:30 pm and I am considering the following-


1. Wake up early, do my MS, come home and do  my DC


2. Try to knock both out at once, hoping to get it done and be able to shower before I go to work.  


Also keep in mind that I only have to do it this way on Mondays and Fridays.  What would you do? Do all of it, or split it up?


Hope you all had a great weekend!

Bootcamp postponed until 2/3/12

Hello everyone!




Sadly, I need to postpone my boot camp workouts until this Friday.  Certain personal issues have come up and they require my time until then.  I TECHNICALLY started on Friday but then I ended up taking the whole weekend off.  I feel weird restarting today and then taking MORE days off.  I find when I take time off from TAM, when I get back to it I have to do it at the level I began at anyway.  Suckage!


If I am able to start sooner, I will post! I am still keeping a food journal so I am not using this time off as an excuse to pig out. :)


Still working on videos. 




Have a great day!

For Sale- 14 Day Supply Wellness Shake

Hello everyone!!!


Before, as you may know, I ordered a month's supply of Tracy's shake to review it.  It came with 2 jars for a month, I only finished one so far.


While I do like the taste of the shake and how it makes me feel, I am selling the remaining jar for someone else who would like to try it without paying full price for it. 


I am selling an unopened, still sealed jar of the chocolate shake for 55$ plus shipping (which shouldn't be much, I will let the purchaser know how much it costs to send it and charge what the post office or UPS would. I am not profiting off of this.) Retail price on Tracy's site is 68.99 plus shipping so you save a little buying it through me.  If interested, comment below!




I am still laid up with a busted ankle. I have been doing some thinking about stuff too and I am realizing I might be being a little mentally hard on myself.  Making too rigid of workout plans and all that. Lately I have been thinking of taking a break from meta and do some old school stuff- bootcamp, Mat, Perfect Design, etc. I feel like I want to do a cycle of each of these for 10 days each and then return to meta hopefully stronger. Also I want to learn the combination dances because quite frankly, the meta cardio is kinda boring to me. :P


I hope to be back working out soon. I feel a little better today so that's a good sign.


Have a great day!

Tracy's Shake Taste Test

Hello everyone!

Just want to let you guys know I did try the shake this morning for breakfast.

It's pretty thick, even when using a full 12 ounces of water. 

For mixing, it does mix well in a shaker cup. I have what they call a "blender bottle" which is a shaker cup with a whisk ball in it.

http://www.blenderbottle.com/

The amount of powder used per shake is pretty sizeable, the scoop is pretty big and you're supposed to use 2.

And the most important thing you all want to know- How does the stuff taste????

Well, it's no Slim Fast. Slim fast tastes like liquid candy. This stuff tastes like they put the bare minimum of sweeteners in to make it taste somewhat like chocolate.  There is also a somewhat bitter aftertaste but it's drinkable.

Shakes like this SHOULDN'T taste like candy anyway, that means more junk in it.  I think the main junk culprit in this shake is the evaporated cane juice but I don't think there's that much of it in there based on taste.  Eventually I do want to try Sun Warrior which is actually a lot cheaper and has NO sugar whatsoever, and is also raw vegan. 

The bottom line- if taste is really that important to you- maybe this isn't the best thing to get (although I have heard of people blending berries and such into it for added sweetness).  I do also feel somewhat satisfied in terms of hunger, but I am also the queen of "I'm not hungry in the morning".

I will be posting later after my first workout. Have a great day!
