This is my summer project.

Hand tracking my work outs, nutrition and progress over the summer.

I’m excited. I’ve already lost 1/4 inch off my waist in the 2 weeks since I started with Amy.

Today was workout 1 of 36 with her.
20 mins elliptical
Step ups, knee up: 2 x 15, 1 x 10 per leg
Mountain climbers: 3 x 5 per leg
Ball slams: 3 x 12 @ 20 lbs.
(done as a circuit)
Shoulder press: 3 x 12 @ 10 lbs.
Crunches: 1 x 15 @ 65 lbs.; 1 x 15 @ 90 lbs.

T.O.M plus a core killing work out certainly made me want to puke.

It was a great work out. And followed by a protein shake. Happy memorial day :)

Post (Amy) Work out Sarah is exhausted. Thank goodness I have phenomenal breathing or I would not be able to move my arms or shoulders at. all.

I’m seriously trying to remember my work out.

Ok…..

20 minutes rocking the elliptical (push myself to do a 78-81 RPM for a minute every 90 seconds)
lat pull down: 50 lbs I believe; 1 x 12, 1 x 13 (cause I can’t count), 1 x 15, upped weight: 1 x 10 
incline push ups 3 x 12
seated rows: 3 x 10 (weight…..30 lbs?)
planks: 1 x 40 sec, 1 x 45 sec, 1 x 52 sec
shoulder press: 10 lbs whawhaaaa; 3 x 12

I’m pooped. Now for the rest of my day! Lunch with a friend, yoga, dinner with a friend and obtaining cat checking-up-on details.

Oh. And my protein shake is 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp P2B, 1 scoop jillian michaels protein powder (Aprx. Calories: 223; Protein: 22g; Carbs: 17g; Fat: 11g; Sodium: 292mg; Fiber: 10g)

P.S. Less sausage-y fingers and hint-o-collar bones for the win!

Photos of randomness.

Walk stats.

Breakfast with a cat face (zone honey almond cereal, siggi’s pomegranate passion fruit, mixed berries).

Snack of 10 pretzels and a few spoons of yogurt. (not pictured)

Gym. 30 mins cardio, 30 mins strength training.

Lunch omelette (egg and egg white with lite Mexican cheese) with black beans.

10 mins choreographing a work out for dad.

25 mins yoga. Meditation, tree pose (each side), twisting triangle (each side), downward dog to child’s to table to cat/cow to table x 2.

Dinner salad-y goodness and leftover avocado pesto with turkey meatballs and sautéed tomatoes with garlic, kale and basil.

I’m ready for bed. Haha

It’s ok tumblr. Today y’all get a rest day cause I’m doing ALL the exercise.

There is none left in the universe today.

Hahahahaha

20 min walk with dad complete (-115)
30 mins cardio (to come)
30 mins personal training (to come)
20-30 mins yoga (to come)

Not to mention running errands and cooking lunch and dinner.

Speaking of which. I’ve gone for a 20 min walk everyday with dad for a week now and have done yoga everyday for almost 2 weeks. I haven’t had a rest day (from the stuff with dad) in a little over a week. But I figured with something like walking and yoga my body probably won’t need a rest day.

Right? Right…

Morning exercise. Snack. Lunch.

Morning exercise: 20 min walk with dad. We went a little farther today rather then have a small run because dads back was bothering him. Slower then yesterday but same calorie burn.

Guess who got to do an arm work out again cause her (left) knee was being an asshole??

That’s right. This girl.

Work out: 3 sets each–bicep curls, triceps dips, rows, calf raises, leg raises (with a butt hop), 20 mins elliptical, 15 mins recumbent bike.

(that would be my finished protein shake there. Nom.)

Aprox. 520 calorie burn

Picture of my legs because I’m too exhausted to stand up and take a picture.

Holy shit that was a legit work out.

I feel like vomiting. Back at it tomorrow.

Work out: pull ups, tricep dips, bicep curls, planks, leg press, chopping block twist crunch things, 30 mins elliptical

About 530 calorie burn

From “muscle?” definition to “muscle!” definition! HAZZAH!

Anyway. Today’s work out killed me less. But ball slams? Not a fan.

Work out: 3 sets each—20 lbs ball slams, chest press, shoulder press, lat pull down, back exercise w/ resistance band, 30 mins on exercise bike.

Now onto laundry and meal planning and grocery shopping because I avoided it yesterday.

Calories burned: 410

Finished walk with dad. Pushed him today. We even did a little 10 second jog. (average speed was 3.3 mph, last walk was 2.8 mph. Yay improvement)

Yoga before lunch. The husband told me I’m a good yoga teacher which made me really happy.

PS. I have trex arms. Dying.

Calorie burn: aprx. 100

Yoga. Check.

(lotus for breathing, tree pose for balance, 2 sun salutations, warrior I & II)

30 minutes total and that’s a week in a row of yoga. Dad said that it’s definitely helping (with his Parkinson’s). It’s great to hear. Makes me worry (only) slightly less.

And both dad and husband said that they always feel so much better after yoga. Oh the miracle of breathing.
