God is with us each and every step of the way...

Hi everyone! I hope you didn't think I would be gone for too long. Although I won't be blogging as constantly as I was before (daily) I still plan to check on and share my experiences with diet/exercise and life as a full time working mom/wifey.

Things are not good for us right now, but they could be worse. Totally unrelated to all of the financial problems, we have to move and we have 15 days to do so (such bad timing). Life has been stressful, but I still have a smile on my face, because I know that God is with us each and every step of the way. Money doesn't dictate whether I have a smile on my face, and it shouldn't (maybe at first it's scary but after He calms my heart, I see it is nothing). It's just paper and has no power in His eyes, so why should I give it so much power in mine? I am being completely public about it because I am not ashamed. I didn't do anything wrong. We don't live beyond our means. The state we live in sucks and my hubby's past mistakes haunt us both here (whether he lived beyond his means once upon a time before we got married, doesn't really matter anymore). The judgment against him affects me because I married him. For better or for worse, ya know? The fun part is that this is all new, and it can only get better! Who knows what may be at the end of this dull colored rainbow?

Anyway my "break" (I say that like Ross does on Friends--"we were on a break!) didn't last long. I think instead of calling it a break, I just needed to slow down for a few days and get my priorities together. Family is a priority. I just couldn't stay away from my cabana boy aka exercise for too long, no matter how hard I tried. I spent all year, last year committing to it and fitting it into my life, so it's too hard to just let go of it that easily.

I thought of exercise constantly (the "what to do" not the "ugh, I have to do") but it felt good to not have to do it for 2 days. Anyway this is what I have been up to:

Friday and Saturday were like the complete rest days--I didn't do much, typical everyday stuff including some heavy cleaning and I wore my pedometer out of curiosity on Saturday.

Saturday: 5656 steps
Sunday: 16,000 steps exactly! (work)
Monday: 15,485 steps (work)
Tuesday: 15,395 steps (work)
Wednesday: 32 Wii Fit minutes
Thursday: 33 minutes of just Wii Boxing (love it!)

Today: 13 minutes of just Wii Boxing and some of Turbo Jam Cardio Party (25 minutes)

I will be doing a lot of walking looking at apartments and such again today, so I'll update my pedometer reading (3865 steps--not as much as I thought it would be).

I think when things slow down after moving and the lawyers, I am going to start doing the photo/measurements, because it was a good source of measurement, from where I have been, to where I am going. It is a pain in the butt to do, but TOTALLY motivating and rewarding!

Oh! I almost forgot. Totally caved on the sugar thing, but if you know me, it was inevitable. I think it's something I really need to take baby steps with, to make sure it sticks, the way I did it with exercise. A big problem w/ it is, if I say I can't have it, I want it even more and seek it out. If it's allowed, I don't care so much lol (I guess it's that 3 year old in me). I have gone 15 days w/out soda of any kind and drink a ton of water again. I forgot how great that feels.

My son's 3rd birthday is on Sunday! I can't believe how big he is getting. My birthday is the Saturday after that. Oye.

Hope you all are well! Thank you for all of your wonderful comments and well wishes. You guys are awesome!

Day 212 (day 2 / week 31)

If you haven't already noticed, I changed my background again. I like this one, and think that it represents my blog the best. I said I was going to play with others, but it took me almost all day yesterday playing with other backgrounds and such and I finally got the HTML the way I like it with this one, getting rid of a bright orange at the top and getting my widgets back up--so it's a keeper. What do you think?

This was my favorite choice out of all of them anyway. I like it because I think it represents my blog better. It's peaceful looking--the way I feel when I am in my zone exercising, and there is a trail--my journey, and a reflection in the water of the mountain that I am climbing (my blog reflects who I am), which is perfect and what I wanted! When my hubby first saw it, he said that it was gloomy looking, because I guess it looks like it's going to rain. Maybe that represents my blog too--come rain or shine, I am out there exercising!

I am kind of excited. I took a big leap outside of my comfort zone yesterday and am going to start a "couch to 5K" program. There isn't any 5Ks scheduled for my area that I could sign up for, but one of my walking routes is exactly 3 miles, so that works perfectly. I can just use my timer on my HRM to do that route when the time comes.

There was a thing on sparkpeople that was from couch to 5K but I can't find it! I'm so bummed about that, but I will keep searching. I know it's around there somewhere lol. I ended up joining a sparkgroup called Couch to 5K, for the support there too. That's where I found that link to the cool running program (still bugs me that I can't find the thing I originally found in sparkpeople though).

It suggests that I train 3 times a week, for 20 minutes a day (for the first week, then 25 minutes week 2--etc), no consecutive days. I do consecutive days now and have been, and I do a lot more than 20 minutes a day--sometimes up to 90 minutes a day, so I am confused...am I supposed to go backwards? I am already doing some jogging, and was doing 1 min jogging 1 min walking...I don't know. these are the thoughts that stream through my head. I will probably just follow what it says and do videos at home. That being said...

Today I did Turbo Jam's Cardio Sculpt (45 minutes) and Ab Jam (20 minutes). Before I started getting outside, I didn't mind the videos so much. Now I just feel cooked up in the house. *shrugs* We do what we gotta do to reach goals, even if we aren't too fond of it. What's 60 minutes exercising in the house? I can get over that (I hope) lol.

Well off to take a shower. Tomorrow I am going to start the Couch to 5K thing...although I really want to go for a long walk. Maybe I will try to incorporate the 2 somehow so I can still walk everyday....like only "train" every other day, and just walk, to walk the other day--lowering the intensity of my walk or something. Something for me to ponder over.

Have a good weekend! Make it count!

I can do this. I am a star.

Day 194 (day 5 / week 28)

Today I was very productive. I wanted to walk, but the Monkey Boy didn't, so I just did some videos at home, and did my Quickfire Challenges (QFC) for today.

I pulled out an oldie but goodie and did Turbo Jam's Cardio Party and Ab Jam, back to back (65 minutes, 805 calories). I forgot how much fun Turbo Jam is! My legs are still a little sore today, but doing TJ felt like I was stretching my legs more than hurting them. It felt great! All of the kicks and stuff, PLUS I wore my HRM for the first time with it (I think) so I was able to see that it actually was a pretty good workout.

I felt like I had a lot of energy, and when the "turbo" segment came around, I still had energy to go! I felt so blessed when I finished, like God's joy and energy was just radiating from me. If my heart could cry, it would have (tears of joy, of course!).

After TJ I ate something and moved onto the 2 QFCs for today. I did them both back to back, and it took me 15 minutes total to complete them (129 calories). The first is a Side Lunge with Windmill Arms, which I did as fast as I possibly could (for the sake of cardio and burning calories). This also felt like a stretch to my legs, which felt great. The second was seated leg extensions again (no weight), which I could do pretty easily. I did these the other day, and I felt like I needed that rest after my set (25 i think). Today I did 2 sets of 50, of both of those exercises (100 total of each) and felt like I could do more. Maybe I will, if I find myself starting to fall asleep (I swear I can't not sit on the couch, or lie on my back w/out falling asleep).

I have a lot of energy now and it feels great, considering this morning I was tired, cranky and didn't want to exercise. It's funny how getting up and doing something totally changed my moral. If I didn't do something, I probably would have had a blah day, AND I wouldn't have felt God's strength and joy run through me (so awesome!). I am on Stage 3 of the lifestyle changes that Sparkpeople help us work through, and one of the things I had to do was find an inspriational/motivating quote, and I always think of it--especially today. You guys have heard me say this before, "I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who gives me strength." It's my favorite bible scriputre (Philippians 4:13) and my inspriational quote. Man, just think of all of the possibilities! It gets me pumped and gives me energy.

Find a motivational and/or inspirational quote and apply it to your lives everyday. Print it out and put it somewhere that you can see it and read it everyday. I'm telling you, faith like this with something that motivates you can move mountains! It will surely help you to make each and everyday count!

I can do this. I am a star. SO ARE YOU!

day 131 (day 5 / week 19)

Today I did Turbo Jam's Cardio Party, but felt like I had to force myself to do every minute of it. I even skipped through a few minutes of it *gasp!* where I literally wanted to just sit down and watch. I don't know if I feel tired, but I'm a little sore from yesterday. I think I'm just bored with Turbo Jam now *gasp!*. Don't get me wrong, I truly <3 size="1">*gasp!*

It sounds ridiculous, and maybe boring for you guys, but I think I am going to do the Slim in 6 series over again--for another month. I had great results in the first month I started exercising, and I have no doubt (after yesterday's workout) that I will see great results again. It still blows my mind that I thought, "this is harder that what I have been doing," when I was doing "Start It Up!" yesterday, because it used to be REALLY easy for me to do when I was doing Slim in 6 often.

So that does it, tomorrow I will start Slim in 6 again. Maybe I will feel more energy due to a lack of boredom. I will definitely have to bring my own music into the mix though, cause going from club music in Turbo Jam, to elevator music in Slim in 6, is music shock (kind of like culture shock, but with music lol). We'll see what tomorrow brings!

I hope you all have a great Monday. Before we know it, it will be Friday again, so make today count! The day's fly by so fast if we don't stop to smell the flowers!

I can do this. I am a star.

day 128 (day 2 / week 19)

Today I did Turbo Jam's Cardio Party. I felt a little tired at first, but pushed through it, and now I feel great! I am all sweaty again, but it's all good. I would have to question my intensity if I didn't sweat at all, ya know?

Well today's post is a quickie, because I have a ton of stuff I have to go do!

Hope you guys have a great Friday and a great weekend! Make today count! It feels great when you know you did!

I can do this. I am a star.

day 126 (day 7 / week 18)

I just got done exercising and now I'm salivating over a cookie that Erin over at Nagle5 News posted on her blog today. She linked the recipe to that scrumptious looking cookie, which led to even more goodies! I must joke around about wanting sugary treats, more than I actually want them, because my former self (before the sugar strike) would have gladly baked them. right now. But I feel fine. I miss it, and think it looks absolutely delish, but I think I am fine without them :). for now. (lol).

Today I did Turbo Jam's Cardio Party and if I thought I was sweaty yesterday, I was seriously mistaken. Today I am super sweaty. Just what everyone wants to hear about, right? A big sweaty girl drooling over cookies. mmmm.

Ok well off to take a shower and start the day!

Go check out Erin's blog. Bake those cookies, and eat some for me! :) *evil laugh* muahahaha! muahahaha! If you don't like the cookie idea (shame on you!) then go check out the cute bag she made. Yes! She made that! (super talented chica). i totally want one now lol

I hope everyone has a great one! Make today count!

I can do this. I am a star.

day 120 (day 1 / week 18)

Today I woke up early and did Turbo Jam's Cardio Party (mix 1). Now that I can actually see results on my body (more specifically my mid section), that is what gives me the extra energy during my workout when I need it. About 10 minutes before my workout ended, I woke Logan up and brought him into the exercise room with me, put him on the floor next to his blankey, and finished my exercises. He laid there quietly and let me finish (such a little sweetie).

I am so excited for tomorrow. I said earlier in the week (maybe last week) that I was going to wait until tomorrow to tell you, but I have TWO things to mention now! So I think I will mention one of them now, so that tomorrow's blog entry isn't super huge.

I think I gave away the first one, in the blog, but it isn't as big as this one.

I am super excited!

My second mentioning is pictured below. Please ignore the ugly/chipped toe nails (lmao). If I had known this was going to be a "moment," I would have better prepared for it lol. Please don't mind the incorrect date on the scale either--I never fixed it after we moved (lol).


Do you see that? 200.4 lbs!!! I finally reached my 1st long term weight loss goal! I took this picture yesterday (I know, some of you are thinking, "what the heck are you doing on the scale girl??" I know--I'm working on it lol) :).

A few years ago, at my heaviest 240 lbs--I have a picture, but it's framed not in the computer, so I need to see if I can find it on a memory card somewhere to post here--I created some weight loss goals. I can't remember if I mentioned them here or not--maybe not, because I don't want this website to be about losing weight, but about being active (as I mentioned in my introduction).

1) 200 lbs
2) 180 lbs (my pre-pregnancy weight)
3) 150
and from there I haven't decided yet.

I guess I can check number one off of my list now! Yaay!

I am so excited to see that number! I'm just so excited and I'm glad I can share this moment with you guys!

See you tomorrow for the new picture and measurements! My other mentionable will be in the picture for April 2009 (it's not as exciting as today's though :)), but I will mention it, just in case you don't notice :).

Have a great workout and a great day! Smile! It's contagious!

I can do this. I am a star!

day 117 (day 5 / week 17)

Today is a (non)rest day.

I got home not too long ago from running all over town, just to hand in 1 application (for an AMR dispatch position--I have NO experience lol). I drove to the other side of town to drop Logan off at my hubby's parent's house, then drove about 10 miles into N. LV, to take a typing test (71wpm, 0 errors--yaay!). After that I hopped back into the car and drove to a different super busy part of town, to drop off the application. Then had to drive the close to 20 miles back to pick Logan at Papa's and then drive back home. (It feels like I'm whining. waah.).

Anyway I got home, put Logan down for a SUPER late nap, and then started to exercise (Turbo Jam's Cardio Party). Like 5 minutes into my workout, I got a phone call from AMR asking me to come in for an interview this Wednesday at 9am. She said they were "squeezing me in" because her boss is impressed with my typing certificate (lol). I told my hubby, then got back to exercising. I only did 10 minutes more, so all together 15 minutes of exercise today. of 43. I am just exhausted, and honestly I am pretty happy with myself for doing 15 minutes.

I'm tired and need a nap. I got up early to exercise, but my mom brought her drama my way again and so I never got a chance. It has drained me and I am cranky. waah. (lol).



Hopefully tomorrow will better.
no.
I KNOW tomorrow will be better.

Hope you guys are well and are getting your exercise in! Your body will thank you in the long run (and so will your kids/family/loved ones!).

I can do this. I am a star.

day 115 (day 3 / week 17)

My hubby made turkey bacon while I was working out, and that is all I smell now lol. I'm gonna make this quick...bacon here I come!

I exercised somewhat early today. I am going to do like Ellie suggested and make waking up early a goal. I was a little turned off by the idea because I feel like I'm being a (bacon) goal whore! I think it's sad that I have to make a goal in order to do something. It's sad but true (I heart bacon) so I'm holding to it, and I created another goal on sparkpeople and made "waking up early" a goal. Seeing a box unchecked should be enough motivation for me to wake up early (and eat bacon) (lol so sad but true--I have to make a game out of it lol).

Anyway I (smell bacon) did Cardio Party Mix 1 today (43 minutes). I thought it was pretty funny that Chalene's sister (forgot her name), who is in the Turbo Jam video's that I do, and happens to workout in WOWY --I see her in there from time to time (when I'm not thinking about bacon), well she won the prize yesterday--$300 cash! I don't know if I mentioned that about WOWY--it's called the million dollar body game and when you workout in a live WOWY session, you are entered into the contest. I was in WOWY with her yesterday--she finished 2 people ahead of me, and was in there 1 person ahead of me. Anyway I thought it was funny :).

Ok enough of that. I want bacon. I also have a ton of energy from exercising. I put a ton of energy into it and feel great :).

Hope you guys have a great weekend!

bacon. turkey bacon.

I can do this. I am a (bacon monger) star!

day 113 (day 1 / week 17)

Today is starting off extremely busy so I have to make this short. I have to go take a shower and get ready, then get the baby doll up, dressed and fed and get in the car by 8:30am. Then we have to go to Henderson for a WIC appointment, which my hubby estimates will take about an hour with traffic. I have never been there before so I really hope I am not late.

Today I did Cardio Party, like the schedule told me to, but I didn't finish--I did only 35 minutes (of 43 so that's not bad). I just have to get going and take a shower. I have also had 32oz of water so far today lol.

During Logan's nap, I am going to do my Love Handler--I finally found the DVD that came with it. Logan stashed it in a shoe box that I found yesterday lol.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I can do this. I am a star.

day 111 (day 6 / week 16)

It's getting hot here, so I'm making more of an effort to exercise earlier than later, because in the mid-afternoon, it just gets too hot.

Today I did Cardio Party Mix 1 (Turbo Jam) and I still feel my abs--they aren't so much sore, as I can just feel the muscles. I LOVE that! Tomorrow I think I do Ab Jam again, and I'm so excited to!

Logan woke up early this morning so he was up when I was exercising. It is difficult, but so sweet on the other hand, that he wants to give me hugs and kisses while I'm exercising. He also tried to tickle the TV (well the girls on the TV--he's such a flirt lol). So sweet.

I feel better today, so whatever I had, it lasted for 2 days (maybe 3?) and was super whimpy lol.

Tonight I am making the Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Stew that I posted about before. My in-laws are coming over for dinner, and I wanted to share with you a recipe I want to make for dessert that I saw on the Create channel on a show called Fast Food My Way (Jacques Pepin). It's sugar free, and sounds so delish! I couldn't find the recipe anywhere, so I will post it tomorrow after I get it all typed out, and enter it into sparkpeople, so I can have the calorie count and stuff for you guys :). It's a Cream Cheese and Fruit Medley and you can see a video clip of it here. It's at the end of the episode :). It's really easy to make.

I hope you guys have a good day! Make it count :).

I can do this. I am a star.

day 105 (day 7 / week 15)

Today while I was exercising (Turbo Jam's Cardio Party Mix 1--I woke up early to do this btw) I was thinking about how lucky I am to have all of your help and support, and how much of a blessing each one of you are in my life.

So many of you have helped to change my life, to make better decisions and to give me the tools to do so. I have new friends and get to read your blogs, and enjoy them so much, from the penny pinching tips, recipes, cleaning tips, to the shared struggles, goals, laughs and slug love. Your comments ALWAYS keep me pumped, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for lifting me up (even when you don't know it!)

You guys have introduced me to sparkpeople.com, which I thought off the bat was a God thing, because I lived in Sparks, NV at the time (see the similarity?). I don't think you guys ever knew that :). It was meant for me to join just because of that reason! I realized that my knees didn't hurt today, and that again is because of you guys reminding me about the glucosamine.

I hope all of you guys know (even you lurkers!) know how much I appreciate you. I hope that God's joy engulfs you as you read this, because when I think about how blessed I am to have you guys help keep me accountable to this goal, God's joy overcomes me.

Thank you! thank you! thank you! You are my stars!

I can do this. I am a star.

day 99 (day 1 / week 15)

I noticed today that I have had 100 posts (i had an intro) on my blog, and couldn't figure out why I had that today was day 98. I went back and checked and repeated day 86, so I had 2 of them, and kept going (go figure--day 1 of moving lol). I thought something was wrong, because I had always remembered my day 1 of the week being on a Thursday, but for the past 2 thursdays it has been on a friday (sounds funny but totally makes sense to me lol). Anyway I fixed it, so I apologize if it shows 10+ posts today in your blogger feed thing, if you subscribe to my blog. I don't know what it looks like on your side when I edit a post and republish it, so I just hope that I didn't annoy anyone (sorry!).

I exercised late today because Logan just barely went down for his nap. I wanted to post this now, because my hubby will be home from work as soon as I am done exercising, and it annoys him when I am on the computer, and he is home.

I am about to go do Cardio Party mix 1 (turbo jam) because that's what the journal-thingy told me to do. I really wanted to do the 20 minute workout, but I committed to the journal yesterday, or the day before, so I am not going to punk out on it (I don't usually stick to my original plan of things and I want to change this bad habbit). It's 43 minutes long.

My butt is sore today from the traveling lunges and squats I did in Turbo Sculpt yesterday so this will be fun :). thank goodness there isn't any in Cardio Party!

I hope you all have a great workout and a great day! Woo hoo! tomorrow is day 100! only 256 more days left after that!

I can do this. I am a star.

day 97 (day 6 / week 14)

Yaay!!!! I have internet now!!! My hubby did get internet hooked up yesterday so I can log in to WOWY now and can log onto my blog regularly again. I can catch up on all of my blogs and see how all of you are doing, and that makes me very happy.

Today I did Cardio Party Mix 1.

We drink a lot of bottled water, and to cut costs, we bought reusable water bottles that we are filling up with from 5 gal jugs of water, that my mom left here for us. The one I have says that it's 32 ozs but I don't believe it. It's more like 27 (that's 3 cups of water, right? 1.5 bottles of water--I tested it). So I have had to had MANY potty breaks today--2x while I was exercising and 3x's just sitting here updating my blog lol. I am able to easily get in my 8-8oz cups of water though, in fact, when I finish this, it will be 12! Hubby can't take me anywhere though, because I am in the bathroom every 20 mins lol. My bladder will increase though, so it won't be so bad soon.

Yaay! I am so glad to be back online. My hubby got a lame-o job working for a company that placed him in the warehouse of t-mobile. It doesn't pay much, but it's more than we are making now. He also has a lead with another company that contracts for the gov working in janitoral services as a lead worker but we have to pray for that. He would be a good fit and would pay more so that I can focus on finishing school :).

Ironically, I am going to apply to work at the company my hubby worked at in Reno. He refuses to work there because he doesn't liek the people in the Vegas branch (he's not a people person, so it sounds worse than it is lol).

I hope everyone is well! I am going to go catch up and reply to comments now.

I can do this. I am a star!

day 95 (day 4 / week 14)

Sunday 4/5/09

Today I unpacked more boxes in the kitchen and then danced (mostly hopped) around with my 25lb son to make him happy for about 15 minutes. We danced because music was on pretty loud and that's not a common thing for us, always living in an apartment. He has been such a trooper in this move, both leaving and arriving and I am so proud of him. It's nice that we can just rock out like that. I was out of breath after bouncing him around and just pooped. I exhausted him too which takes a lot lol. We danced hard and had fun, and I held him the entire time, so I definitely got some exercise in. My stomach muscles are sore also, from yesterday's workout, which I love--such a great feeling!

During Logan's nap I did Cardio Party Mix 1 (Turbo Jam) again. I enjoy it and I am seeing great results, so it makes me happy to turn on :). I just really need to clean the carpets because they are just...they don't look gross because they are speckled but they feel gross to me. It's burber (? is that how you say/spell it?) and blends the previous renter and my mom's dogs hair in and the dirt/dust, and we are realizing that a lot needs to be cleaned. Anyway enough of that, despite all of my complaining, it's such a blessing to be in a house now, rent free no less (although my mom was just laid off in the management cuts at the Palazzo (?? A casino in vegas) so this will probably change very soon). Such a blessing to just be around family again though :).

On my hubby's cell phone, where I was entering some of my posts at the hotel and in Sparks before we left, I couldn't respond to comments because his phone is funny--it doesn't show all the links available--that I know are usually there. I would only be able to read them through my email as my blog is too large for the phone to load, and that was only if I was able to spot them in all of the daily mailers that sparkpeople sends me (i really need to dump some groups and change some settings lol). Normally, this is how I read the comments and usually I can click on the day in the email that someone left a comment on, and it takes me straight to the post so I can respond to a comment, but his phone doesn't show the link so I can't go directly to the single entry to respond. Incidentally, our cell phone service is horrible here in Vegas--I can't post at the house with his phone anymore because the service isn't that great there, which is why I am in this parking lot right now. When I did this the other day, I was on my laptop, and it doesn't hold a charge for very long so I wasn't able to respond then (I had to pee really bad too lol). It died on me almost immediately after I got the confirmation page that the last blog post had been published *whew*.

Hope you have a great day and an awesome workout!

I can do this. I am a star.

day 93 (day 2 / week 14)

Today I did Turbo Jam's, Cardio Party Mix 1 (I think that's what it's called). I haven't done it in a while and it was so much fun! I used my sculpting gloves for 20 minutes and then took them off, cause I wasn't having much fun lol.

My laptop is going to die so I have to get off. Hopefully I will be able to get on tomorrow to update, but if not, this is how I will be doing it until we get an internet connection at home. We are still looking for jobs so it won't be any time soon unfortunately :-/.

Hope everyone is well! I dont have the memory to check my email/respond to comments so I hope you all are well! You are stars!

We can do this. We are stars!

Day 69 (day 6 / week 10)

I <3 Turbo Jam! I really do!

Today I did Cardio Party again, and it is so much fun! :). She does this thing with a speedbag and then an upper cut--and it's just so much fun! The sculpting gloves are totally going to tone down my wings, I mean arms. I'm so excited!

I <3 Turbo Jam! I really, really do!

Hope everyone has a fun workout! Nothing better than having fun and burning calories at the same time :).

I can do this. I am a star!

Day 68 (day 5 / week 10)

I am having problems counting lol. I went from day 3/week 10 to day 2/week 10 and today is day 5 lol (make sense? lol).

Today I did Turbo Jam's Cardio Party for the first time. Holy snapoli, that was so much fun! It's 43 minutes long (and some odd seconds) and it's just loaded with energy and fun! I thought the previous 2 that I had done (learn & burn and the 20 minute workout) were fun, but this was F-U-N!

*sings*
F is for friends who do stuff together,
U is for you and me
N is for anywhere and anytime at all, down here in the deep blue sea!


now that that's out of my system... lol

I thought that when I started Turbo Jam that I was going to get lost with the moves and might not be able to be able to keep up, because she is ALWAYS moving. But I didn't. I am so proud of myself that I can keep up! I wore my sculpting gloves, and when there was 12 minutes left, I took them off. I noticed a pretty big drop in my heart rate, so I put them back on, so that I can get the full cardiovascular benefit (it went from like 165 to 130 doing the same moves!). We'll see how I feel tomorrow. I am thinking about making my (non)rest days, days that I don't wear the gloves, since it seems to be a lot easier, and since Turbo Jam is so much fun anyway (and she has short 20 minute workouts).

Hope everyone has a great workout/day! Turbo Jam rocks!

I can do this. I am a star.
