I...I'm Back on Track and Tea Time!

Yay! I have to say after these long long weeks of not really being able to do any fast paced exercise, I think I can finally get back to my squats! Thankfully the yoga I've been doing  has helped a lot but, if there is something I noticed while not doing any squats, is that my ass and thigh/calf muscles went down. Like Whoa what happen down. Day 1 down, I'm pretty happy right now. If you're new to my blog post a chart of a 30 day squat/crunches challenge.

Honestly every time I went to go back to the squats I felt like my heart and lungs were gonna explode. Freakin' ridiculous if you ask me. I'm still not quite over my, whatever the fuck I have. I have been consuming more tea and water! That helps a lot. I could probably use more veggies and fruits. 
I will be going tea shopping! I thought I had all this tea, but if I'm drinking it. it's going away fast lol. Let me show you my list of Tea's I want to get and try.

Passion Flower Tea.
No freaking lie, I just now at this moment discovered that I can make this right now. We have Passion Flower's every where! Invasive little shit's they are, but now I know what I can make tea with them! Bwahahahaha.
This is great for anxiety or for people who do a lot of over thinking and just straight up too much going on in that brain. Perfect to have before bedtime so you can sleep with relaxed clear thoughts.

Oolong Tea.
This tea is a lovely fat burner! Raises your metabolism after 2 hours of drinking it, and also helps blockfat from building enzymes. I could love this tea very very much.

White Tea
This tea seems to be like an overall bad-ass. Prevents fat cells from forming and also fights against aging.
Ginger Tea
I Love Love ginger tea! Especially with a bit of honey I mean Yummy! This is a perfect anti-inflammatory, so if you have a headache this is the go to tea, gets rid of that pain right away.

Ginseng Tea 
This tea seems to be another overall amazing thing!
Boost Immunity 
Enhances your memory
Fights aging
And Increases you Libido :)

So these teas are just amazing right! I probably can't get all at the moment but definitely some. I've always loved tea and the many benefits each tea has, but I never really was a tea drinker. This is a fun change. 

Tell me what are your thoughts? 
Do you suggest any other tea's that I could of missed?
 What kind of tea do you drink?

30 Day Squat/Crunches Challenge: Day 10- Dubstep

Day 10:

Workout- 12 Min. Yoga
                105 Squats
                65 Crunches


Now, usually I do measurements on day 10 but since I missed a some day's I'm going to do my measurements on day 20. The squats have been going great, I'm starting to really feel it around 40 squats and the rest is just harder from there ha-ha. But I do them! Crunches are going great too!
I'm liking this challenge a lot. Adding only 5 more each everyday is quite powerful to me. 

Just remember folks, we all start somewhere. So never be ashamed of what you look like or how you feel. If you really wanna change you'll ignore all the BS and start your journey already! It ain't gonna happen it self.
Random: I find it fun listening to dub-step particularly because it makes me feel like Im going beast mode.
Are you guys still working out? Tell me your routine if you're not doing this one.

 Much Love,
Sara Litardoa.k.a Miz. Giggles

30 Day Squat/Crunches Challenge: Update!

821138238_1381248483

Me oh My. I am gonna give you an update of the past week I believe. After my day 6 I took a few day's break from the squats and crunches and only did some yoga, because I wasn't feeling well at all. Then I got back and finished off day 7. 8, and just finished day 9 right now. Day 8 was a rest day of the squats and crunches so I kept it that way and only did yoga. Now feeling much better tis back to kicking some ass. Still feeling a little eh but just enough energy to get beastly.

So today's workout was
100 Squats
60 crunches
13 Min. Yoga


Much Love,

30 Day Squat/Crunches Challenge: Day 3, 4- Took a "Rest" Day




Day 3: "Rest Day"
            3? Mile walk
         

Day 4: September 9th, 2014

Workout: 10 Min. Yoga Abs
                14 Min Yoga
                60 Squats
                30 Crunches


Helloo! Well, on day 3 I had to bring Stella for a check-up, so that is just a workout day within itself. Hence all the traveling/walking too and fro. So after all that I didn't feel like doing ans squats, yoga or crunches. It may not be a long distance but it was boiling hot outside lol. 
Day 4 was almost a only yoga day! I did yoga first thing in the morning, because I am a 2 day's behind so I wanted to catch up. Then around 4:30pm I got super tired and just wanted to lay down, since Stella wouldn't allow such things, I did more Yoga and my Squats and Crunches. I almost didn't do any of them but I'm happy I did. I'm not feeling much of the crunches...Yet... I'm still feelin' the squats, tis' a good feelin' indeed haha.

Here's a Random Picture of my favorite Wild Cat.

30 Day Squat/Crunches Challenge: Day 2- Holy Crap

Day 2: August 7th, 2014

Workouts: 12 Min. Yoga
                  55 Squats
                  25 Crunches

What in the hell these squats are gonna kick my ass even more than the last ones, but I must attack those inner thighs with force lol. The Yoga felt quite nice as always, and I have a much better formation on the crunches. I guess I was trying too push myself too hard yesterday on them, silly me.
Update on my eating. I have been doing great making sure I have my breakfast and lunch after the workout. I'm feeling pretty great.


Much Love,
Sara Litardo

How is your challenge going so far?

Workout: 15 min. Lower Back Yoga
               120 Squats


Oh boy did that lower back yoga feel good! Those 120 squats? They felt pretty damn good too. I put on some music this time and just went to town. Totally kicked my ass, I started really feeling it the last 20. Oh My Goodness I thought I was gonna give up to be honest. I was all like, " Huh, I made it too 100 squats that counts right?" No dumb ass, no it does not count you gotta do those last 20 squats then your golden. 
Haha that's exactly what went down. 
 My legs feels beastly, my body feels amazing, and I'm still way excited for this challenge. On Monday, if it doesn't thunder and lightning, I am starting my training for the 10k. First day will be a 15 minuet jog/walk for me.
OK, well all you love's have a beautiful day and don't forget to never give up.

31 Day Squat Challenge: Day 9- Ooh Me

Day 9: August 14th, 2014

Workout: 15 min. Lower Back Yoga
               45 Squats


Today was quite an easy day! The lower back workout felt great. Everything went smoothly.
There was something I wanted to tell you guys, I'm going to start training for the Freedom Run to fight against Human Trafficking. The distance includes a 1 mile walk, 5K walk, 5K run, and 10K run. If you live in the Tampa Bay Area, this will be set place in Clearwater. You can click the link to find out more if your interested. 
Any who, I have a sheet for 7 weeks of training. I tell ya what, this is mighty intimidating to me. I mean, I know I can either just walk/run for 1 mile or more. But I honestly have never done anything like this before. At the same time, the experience is going to be amazing. The cause is just incredible, and a bunch of great people to meet. Now thank goodness I'll be there with someone I know. We will be training together Via YouTube. I believe we are going to make each other videos to keep that motivation up and see our progress. Ah!
If you want to join my friend and I on this awesome sauce adventure, contact me in the information below or comment on this post. I believe if you get 2 people total to 100 in a group you get 5 dollars off your registration fee.
So, I guess I gotta get started very soon.

31 Day Squat Challenge: Day 8- Feelin' Betta

Day 8: August 13, 2014

Workout: 10 min. Lower Ab
               50 Squats


Today's workout felt so refreshing it wasn't even funny. Ha ha. My body was super happy to stretch it out after that horrendous day of cleaning and walking. I can tell it's getting a bit easier on the squats right now because, those 50 squats, I didn't really feel like much, wooo hooo! Lower ab still kicks my ass. I think I'm gonna switch up the lower ab for tomorrow and really work on my hips and lower back a bit more. My body is still a bit sore from the other day and I don't think my bed is helping either. So, do you need some help on the lower back/hips too? 
As you can tell I am a big fan of Erin Motz and her yoga videos. I've done all her video's and I obviously go back. Her video's are fairly simple and she targets everything that you need to target in your body.
The 10 min. Lower Ab link goes to her Bad Yogi channel and the lower back/hips/yoga challenge is Do You Yoga.

31 Day Squat Challenge: Day 7- Ohh Wee

Day 7: August 9th, 2014

Workout: 10 min. Lower Abs
                90 Squats

Holy moly cow bells! Today was fantabulous. I did skip out on the walk in the morning, oops, but it still was a very productive day. I swear the Lower Ab Workout  is kickin' my bum even more than day 1. Oh boy does the burn feel good haha. Then it twas on to the 90 squats. I really started feelin' it when I hit the 75 mark. All in all it was pretty freakin' awesome.
Food update, I have been really good on keeping everything pretty balanced. Of course my breakfast is the biggest part of the day, and it just flows on with my other meals. We always ate pretty good in the house, but everything has just gotten better. I've been doing a lot better too about midnight snacks. I use to have like a whole new meal but now it's actually snacks and between fruits or nibbling on some amazing pretzel chips. If you've never had the pretzel chips, you're missing out haha.
Much luck to everyone on their workout journey!
Oh and I found this picture quite amusing.
