Livefit Trainer

So I started The Jamie Eason Livefit Trainer program two weeks ago.

It’s amazing!!

I was always intimidated to start lifting in the gym but I love the structure and relative ease of these workouts. 

I have to go to the gym at around 1130-12 at night because I am still not too comfortable with working out around people but I am proud of myself for still going.

I missed a couple days due to work and hanging out with friends. But I am excited to say I made up for them and really miss going to the gym when I misses those days.

This program is the one for me!

I am loving my results so far and it’s only been two weeks! I can’t wait to get finished with month one.!

A couple of things I have to improve for the rest of the program:

-My eating. I am not 100% on the meal plan and I don’t want to sabotage my progress so I have to start meal prepping more and eating more vegetables.

-Measurements. I am still debating whether to start measuring.

-My form when lifting. I need to focus more on quality since I am in no rush at the gym

Also I am still debating whether or not to post my 2 week progress pic or if I should wait until month one is complete OR wait until the 3 months are finished a do a big reveal!

Went to the gym tonight and killed it!
I was there for a hour which is long a long time for me.
I ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill and then did leg day.
It was nice to finally have a routine at the gym instead of just hopping on a cardio machine and leaving.

Now I’m eating dinner with my brother and then shower and bed. Classes in the AM ughhhh

Goodnight All! :)

August goals!

I’m bored. So I’m going to do my August goals (rest of August goals, I’m late lol).
Goals:

- Be in the 140s by the end of August (149; 3 lb lose in 2 1/2 weeks)
- Run at least 3 times a week
- Contact my dads friend about yoga classes
- Incorporate protein smoothies/shakes into my meal plan
- Eat at least 2 servings of each vegetables and fruit

I think that’s all. My main focus will be on getting back into running and starting yoga. Weight loss is a bonus :)

I can successfully run for 10 minutes straight!

I know that’s not a HUGE accomplishment to most of you but considering I could barely run a minute when I first started running this is HUGE for me! :)
I can run 10 minutes twice during my runs!
Considering I did not run for a whole month and just recently started again, I am pumped!!!!

Went to the gym tonight!

Completed couch to 5k week 4 day 1. And burned 358 calories for 37:33 minutes. So not bad. Im starting at week 4 because I was almost done with week 5 a month ago and figure I’ll redo those two weeks and complete the program.

Embarrassing moment: my iPod decided to come out its holder mid run and fly off the treadmill! My old self just starting out probably would have left the gym mortified. But I stopped the treadmill, got my iPod and kept running.
That is a true improvement not regarding weightloss or fitness but my self esteem! I’m glad I stayed an didn’t worry about anyone else judging me and just focused on finishing my run! :)

Numerous studies have shown that HIIT cardio is optimal for fat loss. Compared with it’s steady-state partner, HIIT is capable of elevating metabolism not just while you’re doing it, but LONG after you finish your workout! Give this simple HIIT workout a try!
Super Simple HIIT Workout!
5 minute warm up, easy/moderate pace
30 seconds of all out effort
1-2 minutes of low intensity recovery (easy/moderate pace)
Repeat this sprint/recovery cycle 6-8 times
5 minute cool down, easy/moderate pace 
You can do this on ANY machine at the gym, or even just at your local track or park! ENJOY =)

I will go to the gym tomorrow morning!

And do couch to 5k week 5.

And insanity later on in the night.
I gotta get back on track and establish a routine!

Goodnight all

Goals for July!

Since I have been slacking majorly for about two weeks! And my birthday week is officially over :( I am going to write down some goals for the rest of this month that I hope to complete!

GOALS::

  1. Complete three weeks of insanity
  2. Finish Couch to 5k. (Currently on week 6)
  3. Start yoga on Sunday mornings 
  4. Get back on track with clean eating. 
  5. Breakfast every morning! (since I don’t have morning classes I can cook)
  6. Only fresh produce as snacks. Slowly eliminate packaged items.
  7. Cook one new meal twice a week

I think that is good for now!

If I complete these goals I’ll treat myself to possibly hair dye or just getting my hair straightened! 

Happy Monday <333

Off to do some grocery shopping!
