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:

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.

Holy crackers.
First off, I didn't realize it's been almost 2 months since my last post.
Augh.
I apologize whole-heartedly for that. I will really try from now on to make more of an effort for this blog :)
Secondly, I write this blogpost tonight to say that I am starting a new fitness plan! To be honest, I really have always been on this fitness plan. I just haven't been completely and totally on top of everything. The fitness plan I'm talking about is Tone It Up by Karena & Katrina. These girls are AH-MAZING and I absolutely love them. I've been following their website for about... eh, 4 years now, and I love them to bits and pieces.
These girls are so inspiring and I just love doing their workouts and videos. Now why on earth would I not be able to keep up? Well, the answer is simple, in fact...
I'm pretty freakin' lazy.
There, I've confessed a deep, dark secret of mine. (Just kidding. Anyone who's seen my room can attest to the truth of that statement.)
Being super lazy is really, really hard to get over. I mean, I actually struggle daily with getting up and cleaning or doing laundry, or something else equally productive over just being on my laptop and
While I am only a poor, broke college kid, I have not yet been able to attain the sweetness of the Tone It Up Nutrition Program but I would really, really like to one day be a member. It shall happen. I will ensure of it. Anyways, that's the diet plan to follow along but I pretty much just stick with their motto of Lean, Clean and Green when I can. That's another issue I've always had with my health.
The food.
Oh gosh, I just love food, man.
It's so. freakin'. good.
Not to say I'm deathly sick or anything when I mention "my health." I'm just saying I kinda eat more junk than necessary. I'm really hoping to change that but it gets hard when you're still living with your parents and you don't really have a lot of say in what exactly is made for dinner (breakfast/lunch/snacks etc.). I try really hard to watch what I eat and to drink a lot of water.
That being said, I didn't drink that much today. Only one full water bottle :( Oh well, there's always tomorrow. I'll be trying to do at least weekly blogposts about progress and everything. If you'd like to join me on my magical journey to looking even more fabulous, please come and see me at the Tone It Up Community. The girls there are superduper friendly and adorable and gorgeous and I love everyone on there even though they probably have no idea who I am.
Hope this sheds some light on anything you were thinking and I really do hope everyone out there tries to be super healthy. That's really all any of us can do :)
Laterz,
Trina
