Posted on by janineop

Here are some gadgets, books and other tools I am using to help with my transformation:

  • “Strong” app for workout tracking
  • Jessie Hilgenberg and Ashley Horner training programs
  • Bodybuilding.com’s exercise database
  • Gauge Girl Training Macro Substitution Guide
  • progress photos (ugh….they sure tell the truth)

 

Here are some gadgets, books and other tools I am using to help with my business:

My year long internship!

  • Udemy courses on marketing, graphic design, and business (8 total)
  • Chalene Johnson’s Instagram Impact (I LOVED this!!)
  • pixaby for free stock photos
  • Mail Chimp (must learn)
  • Squarespace for my business website (love it!)
  • 99 designs for my logo (this could have waited

 

Here are some gadgets, books and other tools I am using for overall well being:

  • “headspace” app to meditate
  • reading “The One Thing”
  • notifications on my phone for: drinking water, meditation, being present, standing up straight and breathing.

My workout today:

Deadlifts (80% of 1 rm. 3 sets of 8)
Wall crawls (I died)
battle rope
pulls ups (assisted)
renegade rows
one arm rows
back extensions

*tried to do more but people kept talking to me and I had a time limit at the gym. Grrr.

Nutrition:
Clean except for two chocolates. I really need to eat more calories.

Meditation:
I am using Headspace. It wasn’t cheap ($100 for the year) but I figured I needed something good to get me started. Sat down…mind immediately wandered. Realized that my hip hurt  so I started stretching. I got maybe 4 minutes into it before I got up and began doing small chores.  Its only a 10 minute mediation and I failed miserably. Ill try again la mañana. 

Focus for tomorrow:

  1. Rest and recovery. I think I need to dial the weight training down to four days a week. Its harder to recover as I get older. The Ashley Horner program is really challenging but designed for those young folks who can spend 1-2 hours a day in the gym. Ill keep doing it.
  2. Mediation – I really need to meditate…Im stressed.
  3. Start internship tomorrow but I still want to start my Udemy courses too. Now I see why I need meditation…
