30 Day Workout Program/ Athena Day 1

For the next 30 days, I will be doing workout routines from Darebee.com's Athena Playbook. My husband is actually the one who found this program for me. He knows if he left it up to me to find a workout routine, I'd never find one :P I like this one because it has a little bit of everything, though it mainly focuses on the lower body, which for me, fits my purposes. If you haven't checked out Darebee.com, I highly recommend it. If you're like me, you get really overwhelmed with trying to put together a workout routine/schedule on your own. Darebee has literally hundreds of different workouts to choose from, and several workout programs to follow, as well as daily challenges. If you're interested in building a better diet to go with your workout, they also have meal plans, recipes, and nutritional info on their site.


Here is a link to the program I will be doing:  Athena's Playbook




Below are examples of some of the workouts from the program (just click on the pictures to enlarge them):



I'll post an update on how Day 1 of the workout program goes later tonight. Stay tuned!



UPDATE: Fuck you, Athena. Seriously. I got through the 3 sets of hell, but all it did was make me painfully (and I mean painfully) aware of how out of shape I am. And mind you, 3 sets is the beginner level :( You can see what I had to do for Day 1 in the graphic above. It doesn't seem too difficult or physically straining, but when you are like me and spend your nights making the tough decision of using your doughy legs to get out of the bed to use it or just hold it until the morning because you're too lazy and would rather torture yourself than give yourself sweet relief, then yea, this workout will kick your dimpled ass. I literally was complaining of dying barely 2 sets in. I think our dog hates burpees as much as I do, because every time the burpee part would come, he would lunge and growl and bark at me. Almost as if he was saying, "Stoppit, Mom! You're embarrassing me! You look ridiculous!" I was secretly fighting back tears from his cruel judgements. He better get his shit together or he is NOT coming with us on my birthday getaway next month.
Day One - DOWN! 29 more to go!

Athena Day 3

Another morning where I can barely keep myself awake..starting off today with a honeybun for breakfast. At least I am drinking water (no, not from my jug. I left it at home again). Today's workout will focus on the lower body. You know what that means: squats and lunges. Ughhh not looking forward to it. Especially since my form sucks and I'm not even sure I'm doing the exercises right, therefore I question if I'm even getting the full benefit. God, why can't I just suck less. Update #1: So I finally got my Chick-fil-A today. Got a chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and a sweet tea. I realize that I need to start making healthier food choices or none of this stuff I'm going to be doing the remainder of the 28 days will matter. You can't just exercise once a day, eat like you have been all along, and expect anything to change. I've got to do better =/ We'll see what I decide to have for dinner tonight. Lastnight I had tomato and penne soup with a littl...

Fudge Shoppe Breakfast and Boobie Talk

Day 2 of my body wellness journey and already off to a swell start. I had two Keebler Elf fudge shoppe cookies this morning for "breakfast", and I'll have you know I'm about to eat the 3 that I packed in a sandwich baggy and brought along with me to work (don't judge me). Didn't bring a lumch with me today, so I am going to have to grab something. Also, I just need an excuse to get the fuck out of this stuffy office. I'm thinking Chick-fil-A. But alas, it is only 9:56AM and lunch period doesn't start until 11:30. Also forgot to bring my 1-liter water jug with me today, but I am still drinking water. We have a water cooler in the office. I'll just try to fill my little styrofoam cup up more than once today. I figure since this is going to be a blog about building a better body for myself, I may as well include my Noogling/Pueraria Mirifica progress as well. If you don't know what either of those things are, they are natural alternatives to ...
