Bootcamp is over and I did a 15 min basic and a 1 mile walk

Sweaty At Bedtime

Its Sunday nite and I went out to my parents house to visit and mostly because I wanted to give my Mom a tappcore workout dvd that came in the mail.  It is the sitdown version of ttapp because my Mom can't stand very well (bad knees and balance).  We both tried it together and she seemed excited to try something new and it seemed like it was going to give her a decent start to some type of fitness.  She wants to have knee surgery performed in June while my sister is visiting and we need to help her lose some weight before that time.  I stayed until 9 pm then came home ate salad and chicken, did a ttapp total workout to tempo!  Now, I am all sweaty at 11:45 pm and its bed time....

Saturday and Day 13

I did not quite a ttapp total workout.  Cindy came over for a Second Saturday Sewing Session and we did our tapping together. We did at least 30 minutes but not quite 55!  There was lots of stopping and phone call interruptions, but I did manage a sweat somehow, as we were in our blue jeans.  Hoedowns were a whole new challenge with sweaty legs in denim...

Tap, Tap, Tapping....

What day is this of my Bootcamp anyway?  I really do not know...day 12 I think.  I did the total workout intermediate which was 10 reps instead of 8 and more form emphasis.  I am making a better body and I can't wait to drop another clothing size!  I ordered some alphalfa capsules from Better Body Basics, I am not sure what they are supposed to do for me, but they stink! and I have a feeling if I take them I will be burping and tasting alphalfa...

They Weren't Kidding

I have heard all my life, "all you need to do is eat right and exercise"....they weren't kidding.  It turns out they were right after all!  Ha!...who knew?!?  Eating healthy AND exercise have to go together, like hand and glove, peanut butter and jelly. I have tried one with out the other, mostly dieting but not exercising. and this time I decided I would try it the other way around....exercising without the focus on the diet, and for the most part it has worked...BUT, I found that "sweat equity" plays a part in the decision of what to stuff your face with and it has really forced me to think about it.  I find that most of the time I am choosing fresh foods and whole grains without preservatives, if I can, although you have to go farther and pay more sometimes. Occasionally, I will eat "out of character" and jump off the deep end, but I usually regret it for the next few days, as my pants are the barometer!  But hey, whats life without a few m&m peanuts now and then??!!

Bootcamp Day 10!

Today was a ttapp total workout day, 55 minutes, and I am serious about the "butt-tuck"...Keep that butt tucked all the time.  I wonder if I could stand for 55 minutes in the ttapp stance...knees bent, butt tucked, shoulders back, chest up, knees toward little toe....I'll have to try it one day when I have 55 minutes to stand like that in one spot...I can't wait for the workshop I have set up May 15th, I hope everyone comes with an open mind.  I know some will like it and some will not, but thats the way it is with everything,... even with chocolate...

Bootcamp Day 9

I have been doing the ttapp total workout for 9 days now and I still love it 100%.  It will be hard to back off and only do it every other day!  I started out yesterday with my God made foods and did ok with what little fresh food I had in the house until I got home at 9pm....I felt hungry and went for some God-made nuts to munch on but it was ina trail mix and it was hard not to grab an m&m chocolate in the package with the nuts.....which ultimately lead to more chocolate (it was Easter just yesterday!!)...and I ate half of a LARGE bag of m&m peanuts.  My goal was to eat as many as I could and get sick on them but it didn't work!!...oh well, another God Made Day!
