A day off from work doesn’t mean a day off from working out. I started off with a nice stretch and then a high impact routine for the evening with @aaptiv . Progress Yourself w/Akeem (31 minutes) - 4 moves for the warm-up: Jump Squats,Split lunge jumps, burpees, and plank push-ups. The rest of the routine is 3 rounds of moves, 30 seconds each with a 40 second rest; all done with weights. -Dumbbell Bent Over Rows -Bicep Curls -Goblet Squats -Curtsy Lunges -Chest Press -Tricep Extensions -Deadlifts -Reverse Flys . . . . #stephsheds80 #startedat280 #aaptiv #teamaaptiv #weightlossjourney #fitnessmotivation #weightlosstransformation #fitness #gettinginshape #workingout (at West Hempstead, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7kQTRfgv-A/?igshid=37yuz298jx14

Another workout, conquered! @aaptiv came in clutch tonight! I started with the Daily Essentials full body stretch and then moved into Dominate the Work (aka a full body strength training workout with dumbbells) = 30 minutes total, which is my daily goal! 3 rounds, 4 different moves for 30 seconds, with 30 second rests between each move. - Squats with a torso rotation and then shoulder press with weights - Reverse Fly with weights - Dumbbell Lunges with Bicep Curls - Leg lifts, chest fly, with weights They recommended that beginners use 8lb weights, but the second largest I have is 5lbs so I used those for tonight. This was absolutely way outside of my comfort zone but I’m trying to tone as well as train so I’m making sure to incorporate the plans that Aaptiv puts together for me each week! . . . . #stephsheds80 #startedat280 #weightlossjourney #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #toningworkout #tryingmybest #selfcare #fitbitversa2 #aaptiv #teamaaptiv #trainingforlife #trainingfora5k (at West Hempstead, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7h_kkeg8o7/?igshid=6vghasw8bvbs

This morning, I went to work with my gym bag packed and ready to go for my first SoulCycle class in a long time. “Never miss a Monday!” Sadly, I have missed many Monday’s. I hadn’t slept well the previous night and I really didn’t have any desire to go to a sweaty classroom full of people, so I convinced myself to go home and skip it - WHICH IS COMPLETELY OKAY. (Listen to your body and your needs, always!) Once I was home, I regretted not going to class like I had planned. I felt like I’d deprived my body of something it wanted. So I slipped into my gym clothes and then toiled with the decision to workout or not. I wasn’t going to force myself into anything, but I could tell it’s what I wanted. I read some of my book, watched 3 episodes of Bones, and then had dinner with the fam. Finally, I got my big butt on the treadmill and made that ass SWEAT! I feel so much better because of that me-time. I killed those goals for today and I’m going to keep the momentum up for as long as I can! . . . . #weightlossjourney #fitinspiration #stephsheds80 #startedat280 #wellness #wellnessjourney #mondaymotivation #nevermissamonday #youreexactlywhereyouresupposedtobe (at West Hempstead, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7AQ87UgI3F/?igshid=erk55cy80iv

Today’s workouts were really hard - I mean...I worked out 6 days this week...everything is sore, but I feel accomplished. ✔️2 different pre-workout/run stretch routines ✔️strength exercises ✔️7 complete (knee) push-ups ✔️30 minutes on the treadmill, walking with weights with non-weighted running intervals Hopefully my body doesn’t hurt too much tomorrow because I had plans to go for a 3 mile walk in my neighborhood. I feel like I’m not keeping the weight off and like everything good that I do is being counteracted by something else - which is probably water weight or the building up of muscle but I really want to start seeing the pounds drop! . . . . . . #fitnessmotivation #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #lifejourney #startedat280 (at West Hempstead, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ZizdugdSe/?igshid=1hqgz8bv13np6

Workout 4/5 done for the week! 🙌🏻 10 minute arms workout 29 minutes on the treadmill - walking with dumbbells 31 minutes on treadmill, interval 🏃‍♀️! I’m hoping some ABCFood Tour runs will start up again so I’m keeping up with my training! It’s actually really helping that I go to SoulCycle some nights too and that I used the elliptical the whole weekend that I was upstate. I’ll admit that yesterday I let my bingeing issues get the better of me. All it takes is 30 minutes and the click of a button with delivery services close at hand. I’m trying to make up for the poor choice I made yesterday and I’m going to keep doing my best to push past that urge. I’m determined to hit 260 lbs by the end of September so I really need to keep focused. . . . . . . #weightlosstransformation #fitnessmotivation #startedat280 #gettinghealthy #fitnesstransformation #workoutroutine #treadmillworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VYqK7APV_/?igshid=6care9vif61
