I do 5 sets of 20 reps of most of my strength training.
Healing myself inside out.
#BeforeAndAfter I have a ways to go but in doing it.
I didn't do so well at the gym today. Sluggish because I haven't been able to ”GO”. I didn't realize how much that can affect the body. 1 mile and 26 minutes was all my body give. Feels like just a waste. Better tomorrow, hopefully.
Spinach, kale, quinoa and chicken soup because I’m sick and need food to fight off this unwanted illness. I did, however, manage to get the gym this morning and workout for 1 1/2. But now I am going to turn in and pray I’m well enough In morning to hit the gym. 😘😘❤️❤️
This was me out tonight. Was really afraid to go out. I didn’t wanna be seen but I wanted to see other people. These past 7-8 months have been hella traumatic! I started hiding and feeling very ugly. I had never felt like that before. My therapist encouraged me to make myself up and post a picture. So I did. Still fighting for the joy I know I deserve. I’m getting there. It’s a process. There’s progress.
Good morning mates! I trust you all have a great week thus far. I hope it gets better. Meanwhile, one of the staff members at PF showed me my picture of when I first joined last year. She told me that she didn't recognize me. I asked to see the picture and suddenly wanted to burst out into tears. Here is why...
I forgot to post this the other night. My goal is to eventually be able to walk/run a mile in 10 minutes.
Decided to go my girlfriend’s bday celebration. Once again, I moved past my anxiety. I felt really emotional because I had just gone out last weekend and was afraid to go out last night. But I did. I am getting through all of this. I’m going to be okay. I bought these shoes in 2014 and never wore them because they hurt to walk in. Now they are comfortable on my feet and they didn’t cause any discomfort one bit. Small victories matter.
I couldn't force myself to eat so this had to do. Now it is pretty good going down but it leaves an after taste for a couple of seconds. It is tolerable considering I just needed the nutrition.
Today was a slow day on the treadmill. But the funny part to this day is that my Sun has challenged me. We are in competition. He can do a mile in a little under 10 and that is my goal. So... I'm coming for him this week. He will RUE the day! Lol 😆
Hi everyone. I'm still here. Just been getting my life together. Hope you guys have been doing well!
Happy Hump Day SparksFam! I should have screenshotted the before but I didn’t think about it. But I stared at 5:50 A.M. and finished at... see below. I’m pretty proud of this. I mentioned before that I’m coming for my Sun. I am getting ready for him. Have a Wonderfully Wondrous Wednesday!
This is the text conversation between my son and I just now. I sent him the screenshot of the mile and time I did this morning. He’s such a smart ass! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not as many steps and miles as yesterday. Mostly walked then I ran a little. But I came home and did some kettlebell strength training. Needless to say, I am tired and I must eat. See ya later.
My flourless banana oats pancakes with a side of turkey sausage.
Good morning. I just wanna say that the military guy who invented the Burpee and whoever the heck invented the Turkish Get Up are Satan’s minions. That is all!

My grandSUN and I last night. I don't get to see him as much as I'd like to but I make the most out of it when we connect.

Greetings SP! Still on it. Some days are harder than others. 1.5 miles. With 4 minutes of power walking to warm up and I ran the rest of the way. My endurance is increasing. I kept thinking this is the point that I get tired but I didn't. I was shocked. Then finished it off with 40 minutes of abdominal work. I'll strength train tonight. Stay Beautiful and Safe! Happy Friday! ❤️❤️❤️
And I'm spent.... Tonight I did 30 minutes of my own strength and cardio routine. I'm pretty proud of that as I have been trying not to be so dependent upon working out to others’ videos. This will also make my second time working today. I did 24 minutes of cardio and strength this morning. I want to get back to an hour a day before RONA happened upon us. Peace, wealth, many blessings and good health to you all.
#BeforeAndAfter
I had to put on some makeup just so I could feel better than I had been feeling earlier this morning. I wasn't sad or anything. I did not feel ugly. I felt something else that's indescribable. I'm not sure what it was. I think I needed some color. Black and white is the best way I can paint what was going on inside me. The most accurate description I can give. Does that make sense? Anyone else feeling Black and White?
I'm yoga tired!
This is one of my favorite memes. 😅😅😅
I don't know why this was the face. 😅😅 Anyhoo, though I do like to come up with my own routines, I recently discovered PopSugar workouts on Youtube. I was searching for a Zumba routine and there they were. It's an awesome channel with 100s of great workouts. So I now have two go-to channels. Fitness Blender and PopSugar. Go check them both out if you aren't familiar with them already. Neither will disappoint.
My personal trainer kicked gluteus maximus today. That's not even half the sweat that I produced. This was taken after my cool-down stretch. I'm so proud of myself. My knee strength is increasing which is amazing because I have an injury from when I was much much much much younger. I can do lunges better. Push-ups are getting better too. This is the encouragement I need to continue. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it's the small accomplishments that matter. Piece and safety to you all.
Post a pic of yourself wearing red lips stick and a smile.
I did this one tonight. I almost did not work out today. But as I was in bed thinking of how far I've come, I just had to do something. This one revealed how very uncoordinated I am. Lol 😆. It was a good one.
I completed this tonight. Two rounds plus three round warm-up and stretching. Needless to say, my legs are shaking. Gonna feel on the morrow.
Repeat Thrice
My Sun, grandSun, and the daughter-in-Love came to see me today. That is the reason for the simile.
I did two rounds of this No-Nonsense Circuit this morning. Last night I tried it and could only do one round. I'll do the last round later today. I'll keep trying until I can do all three rounds in 30 minutes.
Here is one I plan to do in the future. I have to master the others first.
Been a minute since I took a stroll.
Post-workout meal. Turkey salad. Spring mix, celery, cherry tomatoes, carrots, red onion spiral cucumber boiled eggs and chopped Turkey breast.

Hi all. Just wanted to share an app my sister and I use to do those circuits. It works great.
Midnight snack. Melon/berries, mango, celery, avocado, cayenne pepper, ginger powder and almond milk.

Yesterday I introduced my mom to a walking trail that I love. I’m working with her on moving more. I am so proud of her. This is why.
So this was two circuits combined. I did two rounds and was going finish off with a third round until I started to feel as if I was going to vomit! Yep! Maybe... Too much?!
Happy Sunday,
Finally got a fitness watch to help on this lasting health journey.
Welp it is almost time.
Thank you all so very much for your prayers and positive energy. The procedure was successful. I am in a huge amount of pain though. I have to rest and heal. That’s what I’m doing. You all have a great weekend. 😘
My sister had this idea and...
Met my goal. Started working out this week since the surgery two weeks ago. Still have to go easy but I’m going.
My sister got married this past Friday. I was her maid of honor. Me with the best man.
I actually workout more than I post. I did this this evening doing a Fitness Blender Kettlebell Routine.
I haven’t done Pilates in a looooooong time. I forgot how hard they can be. Plus, I used resistance bands. Whew! I needed that lower body workout badly though. Off to try and sleep.
I have decided to do rigorous strength training. I’ll still do cardio but in order to get where I want to go I have to build more muscle. I also I have to limit how many days I low carb. That is gonna be tricky for me. I have to bite bullet and and eat more meals. Ughhh! I’ll do it though. But today I did 50 minutes of upper body strength training. Tomorrow, leg and core day.
This was dinner last night. Zucchini fries with nightshade free let ketchup.
Man oh, man! Bodyboom Youtube channel 90 minute workouts. Whew!

Before and after sweating.

Not as much sweat as usual but the workout was intense enough. Tonight I used resistance bands. For some great interval strength training, go follow @kikivhyce on Instagram. She has awesome routines and she is gorgeous.
Before my workout. I felt okay today.
I try to workout at least an hour 5 days a week. I was only able to workout for 47 minutes tonight. My head and hip were hurting and I am just so exhausted. However, I was glad to have been able to do as much as I did. Tomorrow will be a better day. I won’t be hard on myself because I did my best this evening. Sometimes I forget to go easy on myself. Good night. Sleep well.
Oh, before I go to bed... This is protein plant and collagen powder from Laila Ali’s health line, “Youplenish”. I take collagen daily but ran out last week and decided to order from Laila. Now this one dissolves perfectly in water without any powder residue. There is no funny taste or smell. This is the best one I have had. The protein powder is great as well. Good flavor. Made of pea protein. Lots of nutrients. I’m hooked.
This is my smoothie process. I put in my Plant protein powder by Youplenish, monk fruit sweeter, unsweetened carob powder, ground ginger, blueberries, strawberries, celery, kale and almond milk. I shake it well then I shake all the ingredients. (😅😅). Then blend to perfection. I know they don't sound good together but it does taste wonderful once all the ingredients are blended smoothie smoothly smooth. I don’t why I chose this margarita glass tonight. 🤷♀️😅
I did a thing...
All of this time wearing these shoes and low socks and never before have they had my ankle bleeding. I had to come home, mend my wound, but on my other shoes and start walking again.

And I am done for the day. 42 minutes of strength training. Time to eat and rest or whatever.
Another cauliflower pizza with chicken sausage, kale, garlic, garlic, broccoli, cheddar, colby, mozzarella cheese, and nightshade-free sauce. It's so good!
Okay so today’s workout was good. I did a kettlebell routine. Kbells are my favorite. Anyway, that went very well then on to stretching. I was doing really good when suddenly I felt extremely light-headed. Then I started salivating and I felt as if I was about to ”Call Earl”. So I stopped. I was going to push through but I remembered to listen to my body. I didn't wanna faint in a pool of vomit. I did the wise thing. I didn't get the full hour I wanted but 56 minutes isn't bad. Happy Sunday!
Your full name. I am going to this now. You try.

I took it light today. Only 5000 steps but I did workout weights. Have a good night’s sleep 😴 everyone.
My grandbaby and me! That look just takes me. ❤️❤️❤️
My evening ended with a 90-minute workout and a much need foot massage.
I finally found a tire. It's heavy enough too. I am going to find a 200lb tire next. I love it! So many workouts that can be done using a tire!
I was in the sun for a while before I started recording my activity. This what I did repairing my porch.
Good Monday Morning Everyone!
Today I began Insanity. I completed the program years ago. However, I was not eating properly and I was drinking a lot. So I decided this morning that I will complete this program once more. Though I do workout often, Insanity challenges my body and its endurance. This was the program that had me doing REGULAR push-ups, so I want to get back to that. Today was Fit Test day. I see where I need to improve. And I’m willing...Good vibes to you all!
Good Morning Everyone!
Before. Activity. After. After close up. Sweat droplets. #Insanity #Day2 #ShaunT
Have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY!
Cardio and strength training. The thing about is I am working my ass off right? And later this evening around 4:30 pm I will get a notification from my fitness watch reminding me to ”move your body”. Crazy!!! Lol. Happy Wednesday. Maybe I can sleep for another 15 minutes. Still getting my health adjusted. A lot of rest for me is needed these days.#insanityworkout Day3
Good night everyone !!! 👋👋👋
Good morning all! Today is a recovery day. A pretty much it Yoga for Insanity. Last performed yoga in a while and now I see the areas in which I must improve. That balance is tricky. I made it through. Hope you all have a Happy Thor’s Day! 🤗🤗🤗
Sweat, healthy eating and a rainbow 🌈. #InsanityWorkout #Day5 #ShaunT

Week 2. Day 1. #InsanityWorkout. Though I like tracking my prepress via my fitness watch, if I’m not careful I will rely solely upon it to tell me what my progress is and sometimes... It just doesn’t seem like it is in sync with the hard work I’m doing. Anyway... a new week of goals to accomplish. #progressing HAVE A MARVELOUS MONDAY! 😘😘😘
My second and last workout of the day. I had to get in some weight lifting.
Good morning everyone! Week 2/Day 2 #InsanityWorkout #ShaunT. Today was Pure Cardio. That one ALWAYS gets me. However, I noticed I am sustaining the exercises more than last week. Progress! Anyway, as you can see from the photo collage, I strip toward the end of these workouts. It gets HOT! 😆 Well, you all have a Terrific Tuesday.
Week 2/Day 3 of #Insanity #ShaunT I didn’t feel like a full body photo this evening. Just wanna eat and rest. Good night!😘😴
Week 2/Day 4 #InsanityWorkout #ShaunTFitness plus strength training with #LIIFT4 #JoelFreemanFitness. I’m done for the day.
Week 2/Day 5 #InsanityWorkout #ShaunTFitness-One more for the week. Rest Sunday.
Week 1/Day 4 #Liift4Workout #JoelFreemanFitness-Done for the week. Rest Saturday/Sunday.
Tonight was a bit difficult with each one BUT I got them both done. Maybe I was just tired.
Zip line obstacle course tomorrow morning. I’ll be scratching that off my bucket list.
Vanilla Protein powder keto cake with walnuts and Greek yogurt icing.

Now I get a rest day from weight training. I'm older now so weight training is very important for my bones. Even more so than cardio though cardio is extremely important. Now I just have to stay on top of my diet. I don't eat unhealthy, however, what I do consume, I tend to go a little overboard. Portion size it is.
💪💪💪
Week 3/Day 3 #InsanityPureCardio and #InsanityCardioAbs
Tomorrow is going to be ROUGH!
I didn’t use my watch today. I just used my lunch hour to do my workouts. Week 3/Day 4 #Insanity Week 2/Day 3 #LIIFT4
Dinner was a tuna spring salad with homemade Greek yogurt salad dressing. Really proud of my dressing. Helps me cut my fats consumption.
And last year as well. And I actually did fold! I tried my best to not even be here but the creator had a different plan. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and went to work on myself. I have such a long journey ahead of me but I now I have the spiritual and mental strength to go the distance. I’m here. I matter. And that is the first time I have made that statement and meant it! I matter!
iSmile and bid you all good night 🌚 😴 and sweet 🍭 🍩 dreams and even better reality.
Air fried chicken. Butternut squash noodles with onion, garlic, celery, mushrooms, and kale top with MY own Greek yogurt butter sauce.
I almost forgot to post my achievement for today. #LIIFT 4 = Rest Day
#Insanity = Week 3/ Day 6
Tomorrow is a rest day from both
Heeeeeyyyy!
Weight lifting. Then cardio. Then abs. I’m exhausted. But I’m getting stronger and can do push-ups longer than before without going to the modified version right away. I can lift heavier. I was shocked. I didn’t do well eating today. I snacked today. Not proud of that. Perhaps I needed more because of what was on my schedule. I guess. I’ll get right tomorrow though.

I forgot to show you all the low carb enchilada pie I made Sunday. I am still eating on it. It is sooooo delicious 😋!

Week 4/Day 3 #Insanity
Week 3/Day 3 REST #LIIFT4
Laila Ali’s Youplenish Protein Powder is what I used for my pancakes. Topped them with blueberries and keto syrup. Two fried eggs on the side cause I had a serious craving. They were so good.
Red stuffed pepper stuffed with stuff. Lol
#Insanity and #LIIFT4 I'm so exhausted!
Spring mix, beets leaves and stems, shredded beets and carrots, black and green olives, cucumber, celery, cheese chips, and sliced chicken sausage. Of course, I made my Greek yogurt salad dressing
Celery. Strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, beets and beet stems, watermelon, #Youplenish protein powder, fiber and collagen and ground ginger and turmeric.
Almost forgot. Week 4/Day 6 #Insanity. Sunday=Rest day. Next week is Insanity recovery week. Looking forward to that. Nothing crazy.
Brunch:
Protein pancakes topped with almonds, blueberries and Greek yogurt whipped with fried eggs and a small glass of Rose’ Ale.
Dinner:
Air fried chicken strips, seasoned quinoa, sautéed beet greens with broccoli, onion and red pepper and roasted beet with mozzarella cheese because I ran out goat cheese. And some fresh celery juice.
Thank you all for the positive energy. It's been a struggle today. I'm feeling a little better. Trying to move this sadness and anxiety. You all are the best. #SparksFamily
Featured in this picture is a little dessert. Greek yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, and chopped almonds. I like to make my food look pretty before I eat it. That helps me to appreciate it more.
Beet and celery juice!
I am moving again. Pictures of late last night and tonight. My shoulders are through. Strength training is...WHEW!!!!
On my way to my band mate’s wedding.

I felt so guilty taking off a week from working out. Now I am glad I did. I am stronger than before. I have a bit more stamina than before. So I’ll continue do this about every 4 weeks. Just rest a full week.
My baby brothers, my Sun and Pops.
