Days 46-47: Shoulders & Arms, Yoga X

Two good days.

Once again I found myself with a lot to do in the morning so, despite the shortness of Shoulders & Arms, I didn’t have time for Ab Ripper. Then the night involved lots of crying/screaming from the children and it didn’t happen at night. But, the Shoulders & Arms workout felt great and saw many improvements. One thing I find odd with this workout is that it seems like the people in the video don’t really use very heavy weights for what I assume they could do. The lady in particular uses the same weight or less than me… and my arms sure don’t look like hers. But, I suppose if I were on camera I wouldn’t necessarily push myself as hard with weight and may focus more on form.

I finally did Yoga! This is one disk I need to improve at doing. Since I went to bed at the same time as the kiddos last night 4:30 didn’t feel terribly early and I got up for yoga. During the first forward bend I realized how much my body needs this! So stiff. By the end my body was all bendy and happy. Should be good motivation to push play again next Friday for Yoga.

I was also happy this morning that our Shakeology Tropical showed up. It was great to have a filling and healthy breakfast; not to mention how quick it is to made. Tasty flavor, though I didn’t get the consistency I wanted. I found it a little grainier than the Chocolate or Greenberry. Apparently it is less grainy than other vegan options; the paperwork says so. Chalk that up as a reason I’m not a vegan. I added frozen blueberries this morning but skipped ice and the shake was less thick that I would have liked. I think more ice and possibly banana would change the texture for me. I like the flavor a lot, so I’ll keep experimenting.

Chocolate will probably remain my favorite, with many options for additives. Love it with peanut butter or cold coffee or berries or bananas or… well, you get the idea. What doesn’t go with chocolate?
