Day 30, came and went... and only now, after a week and a half has gone by, I blog about it. Typical!
So the hardest part about the whole this is the blogging...making the time to blog EVERY DAY was very hard. Blogging is very time consuming, especially if you're not use to doing it. Although, I'm glad I did it. It held me accountable to working out and sharing my experience.
Oh, something so funny about my last day was that I almost forgot to get a workout in...damn, that would have sucked. Can you imagine, 29 days and on the 30th day you forget? I couldn't imagine, I would have been so disappointed. But, it's okay...I DID IT! October 5th was my last day of the challenge. I had the closing shift, which means getting home around 11pm at night (not the most ideal time to workout. in some cases you gotta do what you gotta do). So, in the morning I got completely distracted with work and doing laundry. By the time I realized that I didn't workout I had to go to work. There was absolutely no time for me to squeeze in a workout.. so that meant working out at midnight.
I was dreading my workout all evening. When I got home from work I sat on the couch and contemplated doing something, but the motivation was it was DAY 30. Finally around 11:40pm I got into some workout clothes and went for a midnight run/walk intervals with Nahla, my dog. And we finished it off with a nice walk on the beach... looking up at the sky, lit by all the stars!!! It was perfect, tranquil ending to my 30 day challenge.
Day 30. ALL PAU!!!
Now, it's all about living an active, healthy, FUN life!!!

You Got It, You're A Beast!
Day 28.
Sleep. Sleep. and more sleep. It was my day off...yay!!
This is what my day looked like. Wake up. Breakfast. Watch football. Nap till 4:30pm. Wake up. Go to lululemon. Genki and a green tea latte...by the time I got home it was 8:15pm. Most of my day was spent sleeping, and don't worry I'm not complaining. I loved it!
I got home and decided to go for a run with my nahla girl...she was pooped so she only ran with me for half the time, I took her home, and continued the rest of my fun. I went for a 4 mile run in Lanikai, the temperature is so cool at night. I love it! I forgot how therapeutic running is, such a great stress reliever. You just keep running, and let your thoughts become nothings. Get into a zone, find a rhythm and just go!
I need to do this more often.
Day 28. Done!
Day 27.
Saturday workout with Jack and Danyelle...fitness gone bad! Check out their blog.
It was another fun workout, no smiling and laughing by the first round. It was all laughs and smiles as we started the workout, but after the first minute it was all about getting it done! Heavy breathing and heavy concentration on every movement. And of course Jackie cracking me up... quote of the day "Jax, you got it. You're a beast!" Hahaha... don't let Jackie fool you, that girl knows how to workout!!! She gets it done!
Workout of the Day:
7 Thrusters
7 Ring pulls/pull-ups/inverted rows
AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) in 7mins
3 minutes rest
7 KBS (kettle bell swings) - 20lbs
7 Push-ups
AMRAP in 7mins
It was a great workout, we were all pooped after! Aunty Flora was taking pictures, and Jack did the workout with us this time!! yay! It was his first time doing the workout with us, usually he's coaching us through it, but not this time. It was all of us, Jackie, Danyelle, Jack and me all working out together... OH SO FUN!!! LOVE IT!
Danyelle and Jack as the BEST!!!
Day 27. Done!
Day 26.
Friday was a busy day.. work at 7am, didn't get home till 4:30pm, went down for a nap and then dinner with the family. Didn't have time to get a workout in before dinner, so at 10 o'clock at night I decided to get a workout in. A little crossfit workout that I got from Hardass fitness that inspired lululemon Ala Moana's 'Drop 10 Tuesdays' featuring our Ambassador Kimo and his gym Hardass Fitness. Here's the workout that I decided to do at 10 o'clock at night:
