Easter Sunday

OH my aching stomach!  I over ate today and the day before and I am feeling the effects of it tonight.  Suddenly it has all caught up with me and I feel ill, tired, sluggish and my stomach feels like I swallowed a cannonball.  I am looking forward to eating some God made foods for the next two days!  I need to do some grocery shopping and restock the house with something fresh.  I had a nice Easter, eating at my sister-in-laws house and the meal was full of all our favorites, ham, cheesy potatoes, green bean cassarole, ambrosia fruit salad, rolls with butter and jam.  Of course there was dessert,.. a lovely lemon cake and brownies with vanilla ice cream.  I had the lemon cake and it was very moist tangy and delicious!  I came home and had a "food coma" nap, popped off the couch at 7pm and did ttapp for 55 minutes, a total workout, before the Amazing Race!.....I hope I feel better tomorrow, but, I hope I remember the feeling that over eating can bring......

Bootcamp Day 6

Yep!....it gets easier day by day!  Yep, I still break a sweat... and Yep, it still gets my heart rate up!  Yep,... I love this workout, it elevates my mood and I feel energized by it not wiped out!  I feel like I have energy to go clean the bathroom and kitchen , vaccum and dust the house, do the laundry and scrub the floors...hhmmm...I hate housework...

Bootcamp Day 5

It was a bizzare morning.  It started out ok, very routine, but then all hell broke loose.  It always starts right when I get ready to exercise....the phone will ring.  It is usually a telemarketer, bill collector, or campaign advertisment...and the phone is ringing right now!...the caller ID says,...Omaha, ME.  I don't know anyone who lives there, so, do I answer it?  I did my ttapp routine and then the phone rang right after I got to the arm section, it was my son Garrett who just got back from Haiti.  He was on the ship the USS Bataan.  I stopped to talk to him, of course, I haven't spoken to him for 3 months!  Then my sister called from Colorado, and then my husband called about our tax papers....all of this while trying to get dressed and ready for work!

Bootcamp Day 4

Yeah! Bootcamp day 4 and yes it true....day 4 was much easier and 55 minutes did not seem all that long! it definitely was a "break-thru" day.  It went smoothly, Of course there was a little "bobbling" now and then on the balance moves and I got to places where I was breathing hard and sweating, but overall, I would have to say that when I finish I have an elevated mood and feel energetic!  I don't believe I could say that about any other program.  I can't wait to introduce more friends to ttapp, if they give it a chance I know they will see results!  I am so happy for my lil "guinea pig".... I can't wait to see the happiness on her face when she starts to see results...

Bootcamp Day 3

It's day 3 of ttapp bootcamp and it was a tough day to get through.  Teresa says day 3 is the hardest and I believe her!  Day 4 is supposed to be the "break-thru" day we will see tomorrow!   I may need to go shopping for size 12's pretty soon!

Bootcamp

I did the total TTapp workout today and its the second day of my TTapp bootcamp.  I will go for one week doing the total workout and then go to every other day.  Today I got dressed for work and put on a pair of black dress pants.  They were a bit loose and I had been giving away my size 16 pants.  I thought the pair I had on today was a size 14, but they were so loose my mind kept going between the question "Are my pants a size 16 or 14?"  It bothered me,.... so right in the middle of the kitchen, I dropped my drawers so I could see the tag in the back, my jaw dropped, they are 14's!!!!  This means I am probably in a size 12 but I think I gave all my 12's away to a friend thinking I would never fit into a 12 again!  TTapp is amazing!  I have dropped another clothing size in about a weeks time!.....amazing.....simply amazing....

Total Workout

I am starting to get very serious about this project.  I have found a workout that is a total body workout.  I did Teresa Tapps Total Body workout (55 minutes) and it was very challenging!  The movements look simple but there is alot going on.  Comprehensive compound muscle movements that create neuro-kinetic flow....for starters.  All I can tell you about today is,... it kicked Bootyville!  I would imagine this is going to cause quite a stir in this town, hopefully causing them to pack up their belongings and move OUT!
