People are bloggin'...
bloggin' 'bout people....
Look! My friend Hilarie let me be the guest blogger on her site! It's a really riveting and interesting interview where I talk about how awkward my dog is just a little too much and you can read it here!
That was fun. I wish people wanted to ask me questions about myself more often. It is literally one of my favorite topics.

So, anyway, How have you been?
I've been good.
I finished up Insanity and yesterday was my first week of Asylum and Shaun T ... he kind of got mean.
Not mean. But ya know... he says he's giving you a 30 second break and then he's like "ya know what. I might say 30 seconds and it ends up being 10 seconds. DEAL WITH IT"
... and it hurts my feelings when you lie to me like that, Shaun T.

Two of the videos are like Insanity on crack (with equipment) and the other two are strength type training with resistance and strength bands and/or dumbells which I like. I really like the strength ones.
... I feel like I'm missing the old workouts a little too much to give a fair review. I'll let you know in another week or so

I WENT TO A CLASS WITH PEOPLE!
Since starting Insanity- it's been a long time since I went to an actual class. It's so much easier/ more convenient/ requires less pants to just do the workouts at home.
And also, I had decided that since I had completed freakin' Insanity that this would be a great confidence booster because obviously I'd be on a whole other level than those other suckers and grandma's in any given class.
So, I chose this class called Body Attack. It is a Les Mills class which is affiliated with Beachbody, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn about some of the product and also show off my mad skills.
HEY! GUESS WHAT SKILLS I HAVE? I'M REALLY GOOD AT GETTING SWEAT IN MY EYES AND BEING OUT OF BREATH.
Oh. My. GAWD, Becky. This was one tough cardio class to keep up with!
I mean I can't say I didn't get a good workout. I think I burned just shy of 500 calories in the hour, but there were times that I was like "why did I do this?!".
Something I've taken for granted in home workouts is that there aren't other people there which is really great because sometimes people are the worst.

True story
First, by that I mean it's really hard to let yourself take a break- even if you think you might need it- there's that ego there. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I mean, it certainly motivates you to keep going. What do you think?
But also- UGH, PEOPLE. Amirite? I just longed for my laptop and DVD's and no other people around who don't hear simple instructions because they are talking to their friend and then get in the way of someone else's workout!
But the instructor was FANTASTIC all be it- cheesey as gooddamn hell. He reminded me of that guy from Office Space with all the flair.
He was the nicest, most energetic, and essentially the flair guy from Office Space of group fitness classes.

His energy was great, but at certain points he was so cheesy that I felt sorry for him. Do you know what I mean? It was just... a little much.
But I would probably do the class again if I was in a FUCKING CARDIO YOUR BRAINS OUT mood anytime soon.

NEXT TOPIC!
I got the honor of meeting a bunch of other Beachbody coaches in the area at the Austin area Super Saturday this weekend. I also got to sample PiYo which I am SO FUCKING stoked to get on. I'm going to do after Asylum and would love to do a challenge group with a group of people on it. Please, please let me know if you want to try it with me. You're going to love it, I promise
OMG, CAN WE TALK ABOUT SHAKEOLOGY?
I drink Shakeology because I love the taste. I'm also really picky about the protein shakes I drink, but this stuff I wouldn't even call a protein shake- tho it does have 15 grams of protein per serving (in the vegan recipe at least). The reason I'm so picky about protein powders is that so many of them have so much utter shit in them and shakeology ingredients are all like quinoa, pea powder, stevia, flax seed, spirulina, spinach, etc... Like- stuff I know. And no soy-- which is a grey area for so many.
At Super Saturday, a woman spoke who has Crohn's disease, but since she's started replacing one meal a day (on a 5 meal a day plan)- she's pretty much symptom free. Now that is freaking impressive to me. I mean losing weight is fine, but I believe so much in the healing powers of eating the right FOODS for you body and I love that she was able to quit some of her medications all from getting in the good shit in Shake-o!
Here, I think this guy gives

And I personally love it because omfgyouguysitsogood. The vegan chocolate mixed with a banana is best. Very yum. So delish. Many nourishments. Wow.
So... yeah
So.. yeah. That's kind of what's been going on the last couple of weeks in regards to health and fitness. Other Things:
So anyway- I'll leave you with some pictures and shit that I posted throughout this last week.
- I'm still not drinking coffee. I'm still having headaches so that's supposed to stop eventually- right? Or do I just have headaches from now on?
- SPORTS! In particular: THE WORLD CUP. We went out to watch the US/Portugal game and it was the most stressful experience of my life.
- No more Game of Thrones til March. So... what am I supposed to annoy people with by obsessively talking about now?
