80 Day Obsession – Day 12

Today was leg day! But that was really the least of my worries. Because the truth is our lives don’t stop just because we are doing a new intense workout and nutrition program. Anyone who is alive knows that. Life keeps happening. Life is busy. There are a hundred things to do, besides eat every 2-3 hours and do a grueling workout that leaves you sore and struggling to bend over all day long. But that is when your resolve is tested. If it was easy everyone would do it. If life didn’t get in the way, everyone would do it. But everyone doesn’t do it. And a lot of people quit.

I dedicated myself to this program, for at least 80 days, so come what may, I am sticking it out! So what the heck happened on Day 12?! Well, my partner and I lead a 2-full day event 3 times per year. These events are a HUGE deal for our business. The event is an integral part of our business model, so, it’s a pretty big deal. Not to mention, leading any 2-full day event would be a big deal, regardless of how integral it is to your business.

So the event was starting Saturday morning (Day 13) and there is still tons to do when I wake up on Friday, and all of our assistants are showing up Friday night to get our venue set up. We still have to pick up AV equipment, pack all of our equipment that we have at home, finish fine tuning our content, print stuff, and I don’t even know what else. My head is spinning. Plus, now I have to pack a dozen meals to have ready (times 2, since we are both doing 80 Day Obsession). We got up and got leg day out of the way early, because we knew if we didn’t do that we would struggle to make it happen. And boy were we right. The day took off after that. We managed to hit every meal, and get everything done!

For this post, and the posts throughout the weekend I didn’t get nearly as many pictures as usual, particularly the food pics, because I was rushing around so much and it slipped my mind. But I’ll share what I have.

Post leg day. I was done! Can’t believe how much work I did after this!
Meal prep. I put together 20 meals (5 each per day) to feed us all but one regular meal, plus our pre-workout meal each day. Then we would come home, work out, drink our Shakeology and make our post workout meal at home.

The only meal I remembered to get a picture of on this very busy Friday! Lentils and beans (protein) and broccoli and spinach (greens) cooked in coconut oil (spoon).
