Back to heavy weights in April!

So, I took a couple weeks off of heavy weights to do some of my video workouts which was a nice change.  But well, now I'm getting the very big itch to lift heavy again.   So next month, after I pig out on Easter Sunday, I'm gonna start this program:

I like this cause well, its got 5 day a week, 4 day a week and 3 day a week options for workouts. No matter what I can find an option for me to do.

I'm getting ready for my clean eating challenge.  Tomorrow I'm going to take measurements.  UGH!  I'd rather not, but I need to know where I'm starting from so I know how far I've gone.

I'm trying to really find a good journal to use to track my fitness.  I've got a bullet journal and its good, but well, sometimes its hard to keep up on a daily basis.  How do people keep bullet journals up everyday??? LOL

I've gotten quite a bit of new makeup in the last 6 weeks and now I think its time to cut back a little and use it, and review it on my beauty channel.   I'll post some links to a few new videos I've done in the last couple weeks off to the right.

Hope things are going well for everyone who is reading this!

Did something different

So, for a while now, I've been feeling a little UGH about my fitness routine. I was lifting heavy and I wasn't feeling very inspired or motivated.
So for the last couple weeks, I've been doing my fitness videos and streaming workouts.   I was really fun.  I reconnected with some of my old Firm workouts, and some of the very old workouts I really use to love to do.

But the itch to lift heavy is starting to get to me.  I was watching a friend's Instagram workout the other day and I almost tried the workout she had on there.

So here I've been sitting, looking at all the lifting programs I've got here at a home, looking at lifting programs on the internet looking at all my lifting books.  I will pick out a program to do.  And here's what I'm planning to do.  Every 6-8 weeks I'll take 2 weeks off to do my videos, streaming etc workouts to keep myself from getting burnt out on lifting heavy.   And to keep myself interested in my fitness journey.

A friend and I are starting a new challenge in April, after Easter of course lol.  For her, she wants to do a Whole 30 program. For me, I want to do a clean eating challenge.   I think having a friend to talk to when things get tough, and I'm feeling like sluffing off will help me.  I did a similar challenge when I was Crossfitting a couple years ago, and having the group helped a lot.  And I managed to drop a little fat too.

My low sugar challenge isn't going quite as well as I was hoping, but I have managed to cut back on sugar some, so all in all its ok.  I've got just under 2 weeks to go so I can manage.

Not much else going on. Or rather, not much going on that I can talk about.  There are things going on but I can't talk about it.  Oh, there is no gag order, but I'd rather not get fired.  Lets just leave it at that. 

My low sugar challenge for March

Just a warning for those I might be around for the next couple days, I'm cutting WAY back on sugar for the month of March.  I know from last year when I did something very similar, I had a couple days where I was a little bitchy. 
Now, I will allow my creamer in my coffee.  Some is sugar free,  but the others, have some, but I'm not going to give that up.  Maybe getting a little sugar in my creamer will help keep me from having the bad withdrawal. I hope so
I also will allow treats, like when we go see Death Wish next week.  I will be having Reese's Pieces in the theater.  Bite me lol.  You will pry movie theater popcorn and candy out of my hands at a theater when I'm dead.

I've made myself a fitness journal. I'm going to keep track of some crap.  I hope that maybe keeping track of steps, eating, etc it will help keep me on the fitness path.  Been kind of meandering in my fitness journey here and I'm not sure what to do to really feel it again.   I use to really enjoy getting up and working out, but now it almost feel like a chore.  All of it.    I'm not sure what happened.  I mean I do enjoy the feeling when I'm done, but it just seems like getting up, getting ready, going to do the actual workout, just ugh.  I'm to lazy now to want to do it.

Maybe its the workout program I'm trying to do.  Maybe I need to find something that really trips my trigger.   The one place I use to go to find a new program is Bodybuilding.com but no more.  Now they want people to PAY for the programs that use to be free. If they think I'm going to PAY for that they are just fucking STUPID!  My word. I'll just google workouts and find some for free thank you very much. Hell, I can find a bunch for free on YouTube, Pinterest, Google, I don't need you Bodybuilding.com and you All Access pay for programs.  What's really shitty, they are having people pay for these programs that the instructors have probably provided for free.

Work has been ok.  Same shit different day I guess.  Same crap the administration is doing, but at least the flu season seems , SEEMS, to be slowing down some.  Seems to.  I don't want to jinx myself cause I work this weekend.

I should get up and walk a little bit. I sat quite a bit doing my fitness bullet journal today so I don't have many steps in.  I should but its not looking good lol.
