Protine shakes!

I have been hitting the gym this week trying to build up muscle groups and when doing so you have to feed them and shuttle hydration to them. 

I do to understand why people put a bunch of complex ingredients in their protine shakes to supplement their muscles. When doing that you are actually making it more difficult for the protine shakes to do their job. 

So the reason I think people put other stuff in them is to make them edible! So that being said my husband uses water. Yuck! But I have found by mixing them in coconut milk and/or almond milk they still break down easy and they are drinkable. One thing I don't understand is why they have sugar substitute in them, if they are suppose to be healthy. I know when trying to train your body you want to avoid sugar but it is horrible for our bodies!

I guess the benifits out waigh the risks?

Have a Fit&Healthy Day! 

Week 2

I was a bit apprehensive about my weigh in and measure this week but to my surprise I made some progress!! I do want to correct my original waigh in was off by 10lbs I had 150 and it was really 140. I owe this to my genius of keeping my scale on carpet. Well here are this weeks results...

In comparison to last week...

Well I have to say I am impressed with the results of the 7 minute workout. 

Chaos and Guilt

Ok, I have not been very diligent the last couple days:/ but a lot has gone on!!! 

My best friend is in town, both my girls came down with a flu bug, had a ton of laundry to catchup on, and because moms can't nurse a hangover, went grocery shopping with a todler and a baby😵 

I can say I am back on track today. I had mentioned earlier I am trying this 7 min work out routine with 12 intense full body workouts, well...today was day 2 and it's not that bad! We will see how much pain I am in tomorrow. If not that much I micht try doing it twice in a row. I love the pain from a good workout! 

I am going to share the current fitness tools/apps I am currently using. 

Weigh in an measure is tomorrow post workout I hope there are some results:/ I don't feel that much thinner😬 but I have slipped on my diet a little. But now I am back on track! Fingers crossed for tomorrow. 

Stay Healthy&Fit!!

New circuit:)

I am excited to report I found something that has potential to be pretty cool! It's a 7 min workout program. I am trying it as it's design for a week and then I am going to tweek it week by week dependent on my weekly results. And I know I haven't used any free weights yet put that is in my near future! 

This app is available at the App Store. I first seen the add on facebook for the one for purchase I never buy with out trying apps! A lot of them have bugs and I would be pissed if I paid and it's garbage! So I did some digging and found it free to try:) 

I will be adding more intense work outs and bump up the frequency to twice a day 6 days a week. Even my day off I was playing with my Gugu bee by running around and skipping and other moves relay style, and then played in the snow. I hope to see some results in my next weigh in on Saturday! Well...that's all for now enjoy this pic of Gugu enjoying the snowpocalypse:)

This was my routine for week 1. As weeks go on the intensity will grow. I am going to try to change it up often! To challenge my body and muscle groups so they don't get complacent. This will be something fun for the kids to be involved in too, especially older kids. Also, this will install great life habits for them too! Week 3 or 4 will be my cleanse and the exercising will be light and not as frequent. Thank you for joining me on my journey please feel free to ask about any work outs or suggest new ones! Stay happy and healthy~Angie
