Day 98/131 COMPLETED {9.1.25}
#accountability #sahm #Lemon8Diary #lemon8fitness #90daychallenge
In the pictures, I did put which dumbbells I used for each round (1/2/3/4). I also put how many reps I was able to do during the core circuit… however I didn’t do any counting until the end.
I do make my own protein shake. If you’re interested I can leave the recipe in another post.
(Shake macros: P 56/ C 14/ F 3)
I hit my protein goal of 160g! Steps goal (which is 5500 not 6k but I have been getting 6k+ on my busier days), drank all my water and a cup of tea (raspberry leaf and dandelion tea), calories consumed, calories hit, skincare done… I feel really good! My shoulders are really sore but still feel good!
Cycle 5 Day 2 is Lower Body push! Are you ready? Leave a 🦵 emoji if you are or leave a comment telling me where you are in your journey!
Tracking your fitness journey like this can be incredibly motivating, especially when you set clear goals such as hitting protein targets and daily step counts. For example, reaching a protein intake of 160g supports muscle recovery and growth, which is crucial for a successful strength training program involving overhead shoulder presses, curls, and core circuits as described. In addition to protein shakes, incorporating whole foods rich in protein like eggs—as mentioned with 4-6 eggs or homemade shakes—can offer a nutrient-dense balance. Adequate hydration, as you’re doing by drinking 4-6 bottles of water and herbal teas like raspberry leaf and dandelion, also plays a vital role in energy levels and recovery. Furthermore, sleep quality impacts fitness progress significantly. An average of 7 hours and 48 minutes of sleep with a good sleep score around 85 is excellent for recovery and performance. Including consistent digital journaling and accountability hashtags like #90daychallenge helps maintain motivation and reflect on progress. Don't underestimate the power of a well-rounded routine: balancing strength workouts (such as your core circuit with dead bugs, planks, weighted side bends, wall crunches, and seated ab twists) with proper nutrition, hydration, skincare, and rest can contribute to feeling strong and energized throughout your challenge. If you’re about to start Cycle 5 Day 2 focusing on lower body push, prepare for exercises targeting quads, glutes, and hamstrings—key muscle groups that support overall fitness and functional movement. Staying consistent and engaging with a community through comments or sharing progress with emojis like 🦵 can reinforce accountability and provide moral support on your fitness journey.
