Injured Baby Toe

You may be wondering why I have not been writing about my workouts.....well this "little" toe injury has really been a pain to me.

It. looks. worse. now.

I taught Core Yoga on Thursday and during many planks, downdogs and dolphin push ups I now have a huge green bruise running from my toe up to the top of my foot to this flip flop strap.

Hurt. pain.

Truth be told last week I had to train my client barefoot! It was a big ole pain not being able to do much and wearing high heels at the office is a whole nother story! So this is my reason, and I am sticking to it if I want it to heal and do fun things like mountain climbers, burpees and jump back planks.

I did this on the second to last day on vacation on a rock. Then I tried to film my videos with it which I had to "scrap" my whole workout. Sigh.......how can something so small hurt so BIG?

I did get 2 new videos up, if your interested in checking out the amazing waterfalls in Maui or my mini-workout just click my youtube icon. I hope to have the the other this week, till then I will be resting my toe till I see the color come back that is should be.

Blessings!

My NEW 4 Minute Workout

Mom I will miss you forever!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and STUCK to a good eating plan. I think I burned so many calories that I hope the pie doesn't count lol. I did the treadmill 2 days and 30 minutes of swimming I felt like I stayed on track pretty good.

Its been a very hard week for me. The first Thanksgiving without my mother, and clearing out her house for the closing has been very emotional to say the least.

The last time I went to visit I decided to film a few videos, and I did. Then this past weekend I decided to do a hard core fitness video, but I could NOT find the strength.
After moving so much stuff I was so sore from top to bottom, and just drained with sadness. Ever get that way?

Its so not like me :-)

I love how my mother's house looked it was so lovely, and I got a chance to post 1 of the 2 videos that I filmed there. There will be no more from her house, sadly...but I will always have the memory of these videos.

Here is my new 4 Minute workout video, please rate me...........

Thank you!

My NEW Power Yoga Video is Up

I finally got my Power Yoga video up, keep in mind I do these on a "one shot only" I think its pretty good.

Of course I have to stop doing these right after my workouts, because its harder but hey I got it done. I have only been doing yoga for about 9 months and its very different then anything else I do.

I'm still working on my Zumba practice but that and my Boxing video will be on the next round.

Today's workout:
15 Minutes Zumba
3-4 mile run/walk inclines at lunch

Please rate me:
www.youtube.com/trainertfitness

And of course I am still on my mission for my new meal and workout plan, lots of new recipes I will have to start making.

Main course workouts:
Zumba
Kettlebells
Boxing

Goal = reduce body fat%

2 New Videos Plus Who's Ben?

Ben Greenfield Trainer and Tri-athlete

Try some head rolls today, they feel so good. I am on Benadryl thinking I have a cold, so I am really sleepy right now *sigh

I have been trying to be "super" productive this week. I did get 2 videos posted one on Dolphin pushups and a Knee 3 workout.

I challenge you to try the Dolphins I did 10:

www.youtube.com/trainertfitness


My goal is always to try to do things others on line are not, that in itself is a huge task because the internet is clutter with so many videos its hard to separate the good from the bad.

I don't have a workout to post today, but fished my run yesterday as I said I would but did not get in an after dinner walk. I find that when I run, and start to get tired I use more of my hipflexors to keep going. Plus I have to have good tunes on.

My legs are still like RUBBER today, and my back is a bit sore from the Kettlebells swings but loved it.

Today would have been Core X but I am going to skip that today and go for Cardio X for Wednesday. Not that I don't want to do it, just that all the kettlebell swings plus running has my back and core feeling it so a day of rest in that area is in order.

Most of you have heard me talk about Tom Venuto many times he is a great trainer and I get his newsletters. Just google him to see how good he is.

But there is also a younger trainer that has some good tips named Ben Greenfield.
www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/

He is more of a Tri-athlete so some of the things he promotes I don't really deal with, but am happy to share him with others looking for this type of training.

If you subscribe you REALLY will get his ebook FREE and it has some great information, just saying.

I hope you will check out my videos, and rate them or maybe you will try them and they can help you. Today's workout may be a lunch run again.

Weekend Kettlebell Workouts

(NOT ME)

I got in some great workouts and had some cake on Sunday other then that I think I did pretty good with my food choices. Considering I had a dinner out and a pot luck I could have went food CRAZY on.

Shred it with weights my only warning here is that you must be mindful of your form not to hit yourself. Plus hold in your abs to support your back during the swings. As with any kettlebells swings you need to be aware of form and core.

I really feel this today in my shoulders as I am using a 12lb kettlebell but it is the right weight for me. My back is a bit sore, but it was already bothering me from running again.

Age.

Today's plan is a run at lunch 2-3 miles with a few inclines. I skipped out on P90X core do to my back and all the swings I did, no way could I do it but will be back at Cardio X Tuesday.

This is a GREAT Kettlebell site I can recommend in case anyone is interested in this type of training

P90X Round 3 My New VIDEO is up

I finally got my handstand leg lift video posted last night, ratings are welcome
www.youtube.com/user/trainertfitness


This is the move that Linda did at the Yoga To Go class, I loved it.

However this video is shot in a very small space, and there is a light right above my foot extension. So I could not really do this form correct as I like to. I should have been closer to the wall with my hands, this puts more difficulty on the move as in shoulders and arms.

Also my leg should have had a full extension, if you can tell I had it a bit bent do to my foot hitting the fixture but it was the best I could do in that space.

So keep that in mind, you should be about 1 foot away from the wall and I would do about 8-10 reps on each side. Of course with you tube, people get bored so I try to make them short and sweet.

Good news! You tube now lets you have 15 minute videos, time to crank up a great workout routine.....Go T.

3 Doctors 1 Day

This is my ear doctor Dr. James Benecke, one of the best in St. Louis love him!

Yesterday I went to the doctor, or I should say 3 of them.

Since I had to go back for my post op ear appointment I decided to use that day off to take care of other annual appointments too.

Sadly I did not bring my camera.

First I went for my mammogram, at Midwest Breast Care I love this place. Everyone is so caring and they have these cool coffees you can make plus warm gowns. How great is that?

I learned a lot of things, besides being very good taken care of. I always ask questions so that I can view the pics on the screen and know that things are ok. They are NOT allowed to read them but I know they can tell when something is wrong.

I found out, that implants under the tissue/muscle are much easier to read/see whats going on. Also that even if your more muscular it is harder to read because it makes the tissue dense. Like a tree in the winter you see the birds but a tree in the summer is much harder to see them.

But there are women that are muscular that have fatty breast due to babies so they sag under the muscle and they are easy to read. My breast are small and very muscular and since I have had no babies they are firm and dense. This makes it harder to read, but not impossible.

No matter what she told me there has never been a case of finding something on a women with implants that has NOT shown up on a mammogram so that is good news for those women that have them. Yay!

Next up the eye doctor. My mom had glaucoma so I get tested every year, in this case I missed both appointments last year. He started doing another test where they take a picture of the eye. It was so cool, hence missing my camera for this blog. He showed me how the cone of the retina and the veins can show if someone has pressure and how that effects the site or detects glaucoma. This was NOT covered under insurance however I paid the $18 to have it done just to be safe.

At 48 the conclusion was I need reading glasses if I want them. One eye compensates for the other. Right eye near sided, Left far sited. So I have a script and I may get that filled. Good news, no glaucoma. Yay!

Then it was off to the ear doctor, where I got out my stitches and had my ear sucked out (sorry that's the only way I can say it) and tested the ear drum. All is good. He said that the healing is perfect, the surgery is a "Home run" and that I need to keep with drops 2 a night till Saturday.

I can get water in the ear, and that even though I still have head ringing that should go away in the next 3-4 weeks he has ASSURED ME this will happen. He said the healing and skin are growing properly and I can hear out of the ear now but it is still tender on the cartilage top area of the ear. (he fliped back the top of the cartilage to do the surgery then cut all the way around behind the ear)

Thank you all for your prayers!

We continue to pray that this healing process continues and I am totally cured in the next 3-4 weeks and can sleep without taking a pill. Cleared to do all workouts. Yay!

Now on to workouts.

This morning we had birthdays at the office so I had to fix my huge fruit tray, and did not workout yet. The plan yoga after work, or upper body at home not sure yet.

Yesterday RAWKED!

(except that I got a pecan blizzard at DQ after dinner since I had such a rough day. I know like a kid, but I still did it since I love pecan pie and those darn commercials have been killing me)

Diet not so good, had some new lemon ice cream called 5. Five ingredients and very tasty I only had a half cup but still. For some reason this weekend I had a sweet tooth more then usual and we ate out 2 times.

I was dreading a weigh in today even though my weigh in day is Friday I felt icky from that food. Good news, 119 so T. is very happy today!

My Prone Pike Video Workout

I took a challenge by another trainer and did my prone pike workout video. He said my "single prone pike" was just not enough taunting me. "Enough" I told him...I was going for form, I said form beats quantity EVERY time.

So take note, any time that you feel your compromising your form on a movement either drop the weight or go lighter. Its not worth the injury, you know that recovery time is way to long.

Here is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJaHJBTsZ_4

Before you think I am a wimp, I normally can do about 10-12 of these but I did this after shooting my other step video as a last minute "A-ha moment".

You know when you remember what you forgot?

I can't go down with someone thinking I am a wimp can I? Where is the girl power in that? Please don't get me started. So basically my weekend was filled with trying to film, and crop videos (and pictures) and get all my paper work filed for last quarter, CHECK! All done.

Now I am done with part one of two. 1. File 2. Shred old stuff so that's this weekends plan, along with some much needed house work because I finally bought some Swifers at lunch today NO more excuses Ms T. Clean to the rescue.

I got all my thank you notes sent out, and grad cards done so all that is left is to do my net worth updates and photos for my site.

Yep, I had a productive weekend I even hit the gym and blasted away 350 cals.

300 Cals elliptical

50 Cals manual stair climber

2x20 Standing ab reverse crunch machine

4 Minute Fat Blaster Workout

This weekend was a very productive weekend and I feel good about that.

All my holiday shopping is doneAll holiday gifts wrapped

Some how I feel like its all coming together, you have to love that feeling don't you?

Went to the gym on Sunday and blasted out a good workout, over 300 cals kicked to the curb! Saw 2 of the regular peeps and they missed me and said I looked amazing that made my day. I am stuck on day 42 of P90X, lets hope this week I get that done or thats the plan.

Then it was church and fellowship followed by food and decorating of the church.

I love to decorate!

I took 2 of the front Ficus trees and turned them into Poinsettia trees and added lights and ivy too. They were very lovely, and it took me about 1 hour to complete. Mostly because of the fact I needed green wired lights and they had to get them from the kids church (where I teach my Monday night fitness classes) After that it was off to the cemetery to decorate my dads grave. This year I choose red poinsettias and variegated ivy, last year I did blue and sliver he loves blue.

T's 2 NEW Youtube Videos Are Up

Got my 2 new videos up on youtube....FINALLY! The Desk workout & Knee workout, you can view them at my link:


http://www.youtube.com/trainertfitness


I enjoy helping people in areas that are usually over looked. When your talking about the body, as a trainer, I feel it is important to work out pro-activly on a wellness level.

I did go out and buy 2 new products that I will share once I try them. One is a Southbeach Protein bar and they don't have it on the site yet. The other is the Boca burger I told you about, I can't wait to try that.


I came in burning over 340 cals then expected this week!

Thats good news and I kept my food pretty clean as well. I had a few chips, and skinny cow but my numbers were very good, as I progress each week. I made sure to get in all my snacks this weekend, thats progress. 5 weeks to go to goal date.

Went to swing dance on Friday, that was fun and I really caught right back on I was proud! I did take one picture but never got time to put it up along with the shrimp I made yesterday. I was so proud of myself I never made wilted spinach but it turned out GREAT! So I had to snap a picture, because I always say "its all about the presentation".

Has anyone ever made this before?

I made it with olive oil and garlic and no salt seasoning then I grilled the shrimp on the forman and placed them on top the bed of spinach, it looked so pretty I had to take a picture. I will try to load that up.


Then yesterday I hit some balls at the driving range, and believe it or not I think I am getting my swing back even in 3" heals. I was wearing them from church to the video shoot to the driving range...T. your so CRAZY!

Here are my workouts:

You can see how I talk and what I really look like. Which is odd in the virtual world, I have met people or talked with them on the phone and were surprised by the "real life" version lol. I guess its like reading a book vs a movie...hum. Please let me know your imput. I like the way I can send someone there to youtube to see a fitness move that I want them to do, and they can get a GREAT idea of how it should be done. So like Google I love Youtube. I finally am getting the hang of my new Kodak Zi6 and I got some more videos posted. I had a productive weekend in the filming department and am very happy with the results. Each time I think I am getting better with this tech stuff. I still need to learn the software but I am sticking with my goals.

MY MISSION is to have many wellness videos, not just workout ones. I will be shooting some of those that are just a fitness video when the weather breaks, I want to shoot outside more bootcamp style. Of course 10 minutes is the max length you can have, so they have to be very effective. No prob! I am not doing this just for my business Nutrazon and how it can help you, but also for education of the body, wellness and fitness. Form, Spine & Back care are usually not followed in a workout regiment, and with the body all areas are effected by this. I am hoping to share information and videos that can help people in these usally over sighted areas. Being pro-active with your health and wellness.

Most of you know that I try to work in back care on a regular basis. Along with some flexibility training I believe these things will help you as you age to the 100 year lifestyle.

You know the saying, if you don't use it, you loose it. There is no time like the present to try to fend off losing or getting pain from tightness in areas that help the body function so much. Think of it as lubrication for the body, just like a car has. It keeps everything running smooth, purring like a kitten so to speak.
