Well another week has come and gone and I am continuing to follow everything "The Trainer" has prescribed to me and I am continuing to feel fantastic! In this blog post I will discuss my last week's worth of exercise and eating habits as well as the challenges I have faced thus far. If you would like to view Week 1 of my 5-week training program you can find it here.

So in my last blog post I left off with Monday. 1 hour hot yoga, 1 hour weights (back, biceps, triceps), and a 30 minute brisk walk with Molly. Here is what I managed to accomplish this week:
Tuesday: "The Trainer" arrived at 1pm sharp with 2 kettlebells in hand and a smile on his face. I had a great full body workout and feel I pushed myself to the best of my ability.

English muffin served with oranges
and blackberries 

Wednesday: I had a full day of work starting with a 7am client, several hours spent seeing people in Stratford and then hurried back to Kitchener for my 7pm client. Going straight from 6am-8:30pm did not allow for a full workout but I did manage to do some extra exercise with my clients to make up for the missed session. 
Thursday: 4+ hours of exercise!! I attended my last Pilates class at 9:15 am and came home and treated myself to this meal (pictured left) to prepare and give me energy for the exercise to come that day! Around 11:30 am we went for a 45 minute bush hike and I was warmed up and eagar to go at 1 pm when "The Trainer" showed up at my door with a stability ball in hand. I had another great full body workout and saw a few clients in the afternoon before our volleyball games at 8:30 pm. We played the first place team from one league up from us (don't ask me how that happened!!) and although we lost I still had a great time!!

Friday: Woke up incredibly sore all over (great feeling!). Headed to the gym for a 60 minute workout incorporating some running, elliptical interval training, abs, and lots of other high intensity plyo-type exercises.

Saturday: Took the day off but still managed to squeeze in an ab session in the evening after playing some Jenga and drinking some tea :)




Sunday (Today): Woke up to this: 

Seemed like a great day to stay in and get some work done from home and do some cleaning. After last night's ice storm I am fortunate enough to still have power (as more than 1 million currently don't) though for some odd reason we have no water :( I am currently riding my stationary bike as I write this and am on my third round of 20 minutes as this post is taking longer than expected! Following the bike this is my plan: 

        - 50 jumping jacks
        - 40 bosu running mountain climbers 
        - 30 speed skaters 
        - 20 (per side) bosu pulsing side planks
        - 10 burpee push ups
                  **Each repeated 3 times***

Short and sweet :)

Enjoy your day, drive safe, and be sure to check back often for new posts and to see my progress with my "5 week Get ready for Jamaica workout plan"!
