Rough Patch

I came home from work early today to finish cleaning the house.  We have a house guest coming to spend the weekend and I had to re-distribute all our "may need it someday" items out of the spare room and guess what I found?....I had a bed in there!  I knew once I got engrossed in the work it would be hard to stop and change my focus on a workout.  Here comes the rough patch...changing clothes.  I found some resistance in having to change from work clothes, into exercise clothes, and back again into errand clothes.  I don't know why kids get such a kick out of wearing ten outfits in one day...anyway, I changed, put in the Big Loser Cardio Max dvd and I stepped it up a notch and did levels one and two....I wanted to put extra emphasis into the fact that I had to change clothes...

From 0 to 60

Just a simple little workout tonight.  I started with a Factor 5 workout on exercise tv, it was good circut muscle toning, but not long enough in duration (it was about 20 min.) and not enough cardio.  After Factor 5, I tried for a cardio workout and gave Cardio Calorie Burn with Kendall Hogan a try and it was too complicated in its steps, so after about 15 min. I gave up and did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, which was 25 min.  I did a total time of one hour!  Thats a little crazy, considering 81 days ago I was doing zero minutes of exercise...

Mixed Messages

Waking up in the morning is a mixed message.  First, it is a pleasent surprise to wake up in the morning, open your eyes, see daylight, realize you are alive for another day.  The other message that gets mixed in....you realize you have to get up and go to work.  But, there is a third message, since I have started exercising,  I get excited when I wake up and move and I can feel sore muscles. It lets me know I worked out hard the day before and I know with soreness comes, burned calories, muscle toning, strength.  So, each day I make sure my thirty minutes will result in some morning stiffness,... pay off!  I did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and 6 Pack Ab Burn with Cindy Whitmarsh.

Million Dollar Policy?

My husband has accused me of trying to kill him off for the insurance money.  I am not even sure what the policy is worth....maybe its worth a little" looksie"?  We worked out together last night and this morning when he woke up he could hardly move.  I hate to admit this, but it made me chuckle a little on the inside, but I showed no outward signs of it, only sympathy...  We worked out again tonight but he insisted we do something a little less strenuous.  We did a L.S. dvd 4 Big Miles....I think he will survive.

Chew Toy

I love exercise t.v.!  For the past two days I have done some incredible workouts!  Tonight, my husband joined me and we did the Biggest Loser Cardio Max (which I own a copy of, but we found it on exercise t.v.) and afterward we did 1-on-1 core, that was a killer.  After it all, we layed on the living room floor all sweaty and exhausted with our dog licking up the sweat and wanting to play. Chance, our little dorkie, was so excited to see us both flat out on the floor, he saw it as an opportunity to chew exhausted fingers, hands, and toes....we were two giant chew toys!

It Was A Good Day

I may be getting addicted to exercise....I am so excited I found exercise t.v.,... that was my first clue.  The second clue is I wanted to try them all out in one day!  I settled for three workouts on Exercise TV, I did abs, am cardio, and a Leslie Sansone 1 mile walk.  My 17 year old son was astounded and kept saying "Mom!, really? another one?"  I think he was just wanting to use the tv for his x-box games and couldn't wait for me to go away.

Giddy

I am giddy with excitement!  Today, I took a moment to explore On Demand T.V.,  scoping out all the options that are available, and I found Exercise T.V.!  OH MY!, the choices....Celebrity workouts, Factor Five, Kim Kardashian, Make-Me-Over, Abs, Buns, Metabolic Boost, and so much more!  Its an addicted exercisers dream!  I was going to try one tonight but my husband joined in and so we did a L.S. walking dvd (4 Big Miles).  I didn't want him to hurt himself by trying something new, it might be too much of a surprise on his physique.
