Hey y'all!
Alrighty, I gotta be honest, today I work 9-2 and then again from 6-10 so I knew I was not going to be able to workout besides walking my brother to school and then walking back home. So I decided today's post would just be about what food I was eating and how healthy that was.
Meals Today:
Breakfast: Eggs with veggies & oatmeal with brown sugar & milk & a grande pike place roast from Starbucks with sugar and skim milk
Lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken Teriyaki Stir-Fry
Snack: Margherita Flatbread from Chili's
Dinner: Pizza :( (I knoooow, I was doing so well, but I was tired when I got home)
I also drank a ton of water because, as you know, water really fills you up and so I always try and drink a ton everyday. Usually, if i get a big glass of water, I can just stick a straw into it and then it's gone in a matter of minutes and I can get my day's daily dose of water iiiin about a couple of hours.
I am really trying to be more healthy y'all, but it is not an easy feat. I know, I know, the fact that I'm living at home should not limit me, I should still be able to be healthy, but really, I hate cleaning, especially after cooking, and it is just too expensive for me to be buying my own groceries. Plus, I usually work at such odd hours that I'm so freakin' tired and I don't want to do anything but watch YouTube videos or read something while curled up in my bed. (a.k.a. I am super freakin' lazy)
So here is my attempt. For sure starting in January, just like everybody else, I will be working out, and really trying to make an effort. Yes, I should be starting right around now but I can't. Especially with this next week I'm working a bunch of hours and there's just no time unless I wanna start going into sleep-deprivation mode which is not a pretty Trina, y'all. I promise.
Hope you had a great Wednesday! Work out extra hard in the gym for me, lovelies :)

Hey y'all!
It is now the 3rd week of #Septonber and I'm still going strong! Diet-wise... Well, that's a whole 'nother story but at least exercise-wise, I've kind of hit a routine and am making time for it instead of pushing it off to the side.
Today's videos consisted of:
Tough Love Handles WO
Heartbeat Heaven
Hard Core Workout
Fat Loss Cardio
Again, I am so not loving Wednesdays for this month's calendar. I'm getting through them though! Today, I had to pause for a couple of them but I've at least made progress. I can go for much longer and not everything has to be done on my knees or in a beginner's modification.
My favorite video today was probably Hearbeat Heaven, which is crazy, but I really like the last move. You roll around on the floor but I think it's so much fun. Cassey kills me everytime, no matter what day it is. I'm waiting for the day that I can get through the videos and not want to completely die after.
I did take my brother to school again and then I had to bike again to go pick him up cause it's sporadically raining over here. So on a cardio day, I added more cardio. Ugh. Okay, well, see y'all tomorrow for T.V. Thursday! I'm soooo excited :)

Hey y'all!
So sorry for going MIA these past few weeks. Hopefully, I can get back on track now. It is the second week of #Septoneber and I currently have been doing pretty well on the monthly calendar! I'm so proud of myself for that.
Here are today's videos:
Food Baby Workout
BB1: HIIT It Hard
Hot Summer Dance
50 Random Facts WO
Today was Hump HIIT Wednesday. I have to say this though... I hate cardio. Despise it. I wish I never had to do it but I totally understand that to kill fat cells, cardio needs to be done. I just desperately want to never have to do it. Maybe if I ate super healthy all the time, I wouldn't have to do it. As I still live with my parents at the moment, that is not the case and won't be for a while.
Whoops, I forgot to mention. This month, I'm doing Cassey Ho's regular monthly workout schedule instead of the beginner's. You can find all about her at her website linked here. I highly recommend her as a trainer as she has recipes and plenty of different videos that target different body areas you'd like to tight and tone.
As you can probably imagine, today was really hard. I hate cardio and so it takes me a while to do these. I had to drop off my little brother at school today, as usual, and so I woke up early and was able to fit in at least one video before having to stop to freshen up and get ready for work. On days that I have work early, I try to do as much before work as I can but can usually fit in only one or two videos before I have to stop in order to give myself enough time. I hate to say it, but I take forever to get ready. It's a problem.
So, after work (it was only a 10-2 shift as I work retail), I came home, changed, took off my makeup and then finished the other three videos. It took a while, again, and I just ended up pausing when I needed to. I also drank plenty of water before, during and after the workouts. I was pretty good on water intake. I'm not always the best, so I try to fix that when I can.
So that seems to be about everything for this post. Should I also include food or something?? I've been making progress, you can check that out at my Instagram or even talk to me on my Twitter. Either is good. If you have any other comments, questions, concerns, e-mail me at prettychickadee@hotmail.com which is the e-mail I made JUST for this blog. I have good things planned for this thing. I just have to get into the swing of things.

Hey y'all!
Phew, I am pooped from the workout today. Okay, not true. But. I am feeling kinda sore and I figure Cassey is telling the truth when she says Sore Today, Strong Tomorrow so I'll get over it. Today on the Beginner's Calendar:
Wake up and do 10 roll-ups
Fat Burning Cardio Warmup
Total Body Pilates with Ana Caban
And they are complete! I've done the Fat Burning Cardio Warmup before, but I never did the total body vid so that was neat to try out. I also was going to shower tonight but I'll shower after working out tomorrow morning so I'm fresh for work. I'm sure my co-workers and customers will appreciate that.
I was off work today so I pretty much lounged around and watched T.V. and then worked out at night... That was today in a nutshell.
I will say that diet-wise, I think that that, besides lack of time for workout, is my main concern on never being able to fully be fit. I do live at my parent's right now (which is why I don't post any videos yet) and I really am restricted to the food they bring in. Yes, I could buy my own groceries but for a college kid who's just trying to move out and save money at the moment? I'm not about to spend my money in that way.
I am proud of today though; I really drank a lot of water and I haven't been drinking my water so score 1 for me today on the water-front!
No worries, Austin will take care of that for me. Today was a pretty short post but not too much happened today... Oh well.
