Travel Til Tomorrow...

At San Diego Airport... Beginning of the travel day!

June 10, 2013

Food -

• Breakfast - Protein bar
• Lunch - chips and salsa, and half a salad with chicken on top
• Dinner - roll, two crackers with cheese, one manicoti pasta roll, cookie

No workout. We left our hotel at 9:30pm, and began a travel day that actually has gone into tomorrow... Won't land until morning!

Oh, but I did do 20 push ups this morning... Just for fun!

2 of 6... Done!

June 9, 2013

Food -

• Breakfast - an amazing fruit and low-fat yogurt parfait, and a blueberry muffin
• Dinner - (Went with some friends and family to dinner, we ordered a bunch of appetizers...) So I had 2 spring rolls, one rolled taco, one mushroom cap, 2 slices of bread, and a pear salad. 
• Snack - 2 cookies before show
• Snack - 2 cookies after show (couldn't stop, they were amazing!)

Workout -

• I went to the pool today so I decided to do something different. I swam laps as my workout! I love to swim, but it has been a long time since I have swam laps like that. I did 15 total back and forth laps. (3 sets of 5 laps.) I have to say it wore me out! And I was sore the next day! Amazing! I love that!

The show went great as well. It was a busy day! But it ended up being a good one!

Travel Again

June 8, 2013

Another travel day... Folsom, California to El Cajon, California.

Food -

• 12pm - A small side of sauteed mushrooms
• 2pm - small bag of peanuts on the plane
• 6pm - Dinner- pear and gorgonzola salad, seared tuna appitizer, half of a mushroom flatbread appitizer, two pieces of bread. 

Unfortunately no workout today. Just traveling. I got to meet up with Michael though, so I am a happy girl! 

1 of 6... Done!

June 7, 2013

Food -

• 10am - Perfectly Simple, Zone Perfect Bar

• 8pm - 2 madeleines (I had never had one before, amazing!)
• 10pm - couple slices of cheese, and 1 madeleine.

Workout -

• Cardio - 8 minutes... I ran for 5 minutes, (2min at 6mph, 1min at 6.5mph, 2min at 6mph), then I walked for a few minutes, started doing my intervals, but I got a very bad foot cramp, and I had to stop. I knew it wasn't worth hurting my foot!
• Weights - Circuit - 400 movements total - 25 bench presses with two 25lb free weights, 25 sit ups. Repeat 3 more times. 10 lateral raises with two 10lb free weights, 25 triceps extensions with a 20lb free weight. Repeat 3 more times, and then do one more round of lateral raises. 50 bicep curls with two 10lb free weights.

The gym was VERY old, and it was not a very fun place with options. So it wasn't the best gym experience. 

We had our first show of this tour tonight. Folsom, California. It went great! Lots of fun, and lots of joking around. Great start to the tour!

This Tour.

June 7, 2013

This is going to be a crazy and busy tour! So I am going to do things a little differently on this blog. I am going to do posts that just have my food and my workout- and probably a couple notes about the day.

However, I will also post a blog about the trip later, or maybe even every few days I'll do an update about the tour. (It will depend on the schedule and how much time I have AND computer access!)

Here is the low down on this trip. Left my house on June 6th, and will most likely return home on the 24th. We start out with two dates in California. June 7th (tonight), we work in Folsom, California. Then after a travel day tomorrow, on Sunday we work in El Cajon, California. Then on Monday we leave for Brazil. As of now we are doing 4 shows there. But we will be there from the 10-24th.

We are looking forward to a great tour, and some great shows!

I'm very glad that my boyfriend Michael will also be coming along to Brazil. In fact, he will also be at the show in San Diego on Sunday. So hopefully we will get some time to explore Brazil a little too! Gonna be a great tour!

Back On The Road...

June 7, 2013

It has been a crazy day...

16 hour travel day, and I only got 2 hours of sleep last night!

Since I'm exhausted, I'm gonna breakdown my day by food and workout...

Food-

• Luna Bar around 9am.
• Apple Chicken Sausage on a roll with mustard and some cheddar fries at a great place at the Kansas City Airport. About 12pm.
• Some of the free packets of nuts on the planes...
• Chips with salsa and guacamole, and a chicken taco salad.

Workout -

• None. Traveled all day long...

It was a long and exhausting day, and I was exhausted to begin with! So I know my food was kinda horrible today- or at least not great, and my lack of exercise is unfortunate. But I'll turn it around tomorrow. For now, it is time to get some rest! 

Stormy Wednesday Morning

June 5, 2013

I was excited to wake up and go to the park, but as I got my workout clothes on it started to rain. So I headed to the gym instead...

• Weights - Circuit - 400 movements total - 25 bench presses with a 45lb bar, 25 squats with a 45lb bar, 25 sit ups. Repeat 3 more times. 100 crunches.

I didn't have a lot of time- busy, busy day today to get everything ready. Leaving town tomorrow morning for a tour. Packing and organizing galore today... And also a few last minute appointments!

Park & Weights

June 4, 2013

I woke up, and pretty much went straight to the park- I have been so lucky with weather the past few weeks, it has been great!

I ran half a mile, walked half a mile, ran half a mile, and then walked a mile and a half. It was great! 3 miles total.

Then I headed into the gym for some weights...

Workout -

• Weights - Circuit - 1,000 movements total - 25 bench presses with a 45lb bar, 25 sit ups, 25 shoulder presses with two 12lb free weights, 25 crunches, 25 lateral raises with two 5lb free weights, 25 bicep curls at 30lb, 25 hip abductions at 160lb, 25 hip adductions at 120lb, 25 seated leg extensions at 60lb, 25 seated leg presses at 160lb. Repeat 3 more times. 

It was a great workout! But now I have so much to do! I am getting ready to go on tour day after tomorrow, and there is lots to get done!

Morning At The Park

Walking by the park.

June 3, 2013

I got up and headed straight to the park...

I ran half a mile, walked a mile and a half, ran half a mile, walked half a mile. 3 miles total. It was a nice morning there. Sunny, but not too hot yet- beautiful!

Then I had to take my Dad to the airport an hour away, so I had a couple hour break...

By the time I got home, I had so much to do that I didn't get a chance to workout again. And I have a dinner to go to in a bit that I have to get ready for. But maybe I'll fit in a workout or something later- if not I'm glad I got that bit of a workout in this morning!

A Nice Sunday!

June 2, 2013

It is an overcast Sunday here so far, but that made it perfect weather to go to the park and do some stuff out side!

I ran half a mile, walked half a mile, ran half a mile, walked half a mile. The second half a mile running was a bit challenging because of the some wind, but I survived!

Then I headed over to the gym for some weights!

Workout -

• Weights - Circuit - 1,000 movements total - 25 bench presses with a 45lb bar, 25 sit ups, 25 shoulder presses with two 12lb free weights, 25 crunches, 25 bench presses with a 45lb bar, 25 tricep pushdowns at 60lb, 25 hip abductions at 160lb, 25 hip adductions at 120lb, 25 seated leg extensions at 60lb. Repeat 3 more times. 25 seated leg presses at 160lb, 25 lateral raises with two 5lb free weights. Repeat 1 more time.

It was a tough workout! I upped the weight on a couple of things, so it make it extra challenging for me! But the time I left, my arms felt like jello, and my legs were a bit weak as well. So I'd say that's a good workout.

Now I am off to go fishing with my Dad, his best friend, and my fella. Should be a nice Sunday! 

3 Miles and a Busy Gym

June 1, 2013

I started off my day by heading to the park. I ran half a mile, walked half a mile, ran half a mile, and then walked a mile and a half - making it 3 miles total. It was wonderful weather. The storm had just ended so it was kind of overcast and not too hot!

Then I headed straight over to the gym.

Workout -

• Weights - Circuit - 1000 movements total - 25 back extension, 25 sit ups, 25 decline dumb bell bench press with two 15lb weights, 25 hip abductions at 160lb, 25 hip adductions at 120lb, 25 lat pulldowns at 50lb. Repeat 3 more times. 25 bench presses with two 20lb free weights, 10 shoulder presses with two 15lb free weights, 15 lateral raises with two 8lb free weights, 25 crunches, 15 dead lifts with a 20lb bar with 20lb added on it, 10 tricep pushdowns at 70lb. Repeat 3 more times.

It was a pretty good workout. The gym was really busy, so I wasn't loving the experience. But it was good! At least I did that! Makes me feel better about my day!
