Empty Nesters, Day 3 of Pump and Brazil Butt Lift Hybrid. Today I started the day off with a little *walk/jog* mostly walk but my goal is to get that to be mostly jog! I only jogged a little tiny but and just the walking out there was kinda hard! Funny how I can do these Beachbody workouts yet the walking and jogging seemed hard! Its because its something different and also need to clear these cobwebs out of my head as well since I have been pretty depressed about not being near my kids any more since moving to Texas and they are still in PA. The 20 minutes out there started off rough but eventually I got more into it! Stayed out for 20 minutes and just kept moving and had my iPod with me with some great motivating tunes! Then I came inside and Did the Beachbody Les Mills pump*Pump Challenge* which was a very short workout so I made sure to get more into the lunges and squats as well as go heavier on the weights that i remembered being to light the other day, I have some issues with my neck still so I am not putting the bar on my shoulders and holding the plates in my hands instead! That seems to still be pretty effective! Then I pushed out some *hard core abs* as well! It feels good to have this workout routine done and out of the way early! And I am so proud to be 3 days in already!
You know, its funny that I have been depressed about my empty nest, that I discovered a birds nest outside my living room window so yesterday, I decided to set up my camera on the nest and let it run while I was in the shower and to my surprise, I had actually captured the mom and dad bird tending to the babies! How sweet! I am gonna check in on the nest every day and see how it goes from having the 3 babies to these birds becoming empty nesters as well, its just a natural part of nature! I do believe this opportunity came to me for a reason

Empty Nesters, Day Two of Pump and Brazil Butt Lift Hybrid, Today was Brazil Butt Lift *Bum Bum” I actually did a round of Brazil Butt lift last summer and I totally forgot how challenging Bum Bum is! Bum Bum is VERY cardio with main focus on the butt but it definitely works your whole body also! I really need to improve my stamina when it comes to cardio, I always find it very hard to push myself so I have decided to pick up jogging also along with my Hybrid workouts in hopes to build up that ability a little better! There was a tiny bit of jumping in this workout but he shows you how to modify that so that you can still get effective results without jumping! I am on a second floor apartment now so I really have to avoid the jumping LOL Although my husband does Insanity and seems the carpet absorbs the noise enough which is good!
So with the Empty Nest now for me, I did hear from my one son today! Not much but it was still something! Its crazy how they are just so busy now! I remember those days! I try not to take it personally! At there ages, they don’t think about the same things that I think about!
So Just keeping myself busy with my own things, Two days into my Pump and Brazil Butt Lift Hybrid, today I feel sore in my chest, legs, and my calves! a little in my bootie from this morning! Also my mood feels better and I also feel less sick, I still got a headache today but it was not as bad as it was! I just need to keep myself on this track!
I have been getting tons of support from the Beachbody Community as well! So nice to know that I am not alone on this Journey and even tho I had to start over once again, I am not the only one!
Ok so for tomorrow, Empty Nesters, Day Three of Pump and Brazil Butt Lift Hybrid will be “Pump Challenge* from Beachbody Les Mills Pump! I think that one is a short easy one so I will go heavier with weights and get deeper into the moves! Also do maybe a 20 minute “jog/walk” before the hybrid workout!
