December 9, 2013

This week I am slowly getting back into a routine. I was going through a lot of halls so a lot of additional sugar. I am still drinking shakeology as a snack not a meal replacement. I haven't measured or weighed myself this week. My stomach is getting flatter than before. I mixed in a couple of alpha workouts this week as Gamma is intense.

Today I will write about the pyramid workout. This workout is a nightmare you do every move building up to an 8 count. Well I didn't make it to 8 on many of the moves. This is not a beginner workout so if you are thinking about skipping alpha and beta and going straight to gamma I would advise against it. The only reason I even stuck it through to the end of the dvd was because of the mindset alpha and beta gave me. If Shaun T looks like this at the end of the workout imagine what I looked like.

I bought  a salad of spinach, kale, and baby greens. I sauteed an onion, some mushrooms, a tomato, added the greens. Then blended in the magic bullet. I then put it on a pizza crust with some feta cheese. I also ate some as soup think it made a nice soup.

This week I have been sick with a bad cold and didn't do as much as I usually do. I am continuing to drink shakeology but I did miss a few days. I tried the gamma speed 3.0 workout I didn't do all the moves because I couldn't keep up plus being sick I was more motivated to keep my ass on the couch. Even so I think I sweated some of my cold out with the workout. It's one of those workouts that I will need to do a few times but eventually it's going to become one of my favourite's. As usual it pushes me to my maximum abilities this workout doesn't have any modifiers I am impressed with how far I have come since before I started T25. I went from not being able to do a burpee to attempting to keep up with Shaun T in gamma.

I have not tried any of the other gamma workouts yet. I hope to get back into it by monday and hope to review the rest of the workouts next post.

Today I tried the vegan tropical strawberry shakeology. I wish I had ordered more than one package of this. So far it is the best tasting of the ones I have tried. I only added water today and it was almost equivalent to a smoothie I liked it. I drank it for breakfast and didn't eat anything else until 4pm. I also didn't do anything active unless coughing counts as a workout.
