Summer....

I didn't work out on Monday or today this week.  I did 10 minutes of abs on Tuesday and 10 minutes of cardio on Wednesday and yesterday.  I even vacuumed yesterday to add to the workout.  I'm trying to stay on the Special K diet as well.  I eat Special K cereal, waffles, or other products for two meals and then the third meal is anything.  I also have 2 Special K snacks throughout the day (90 calorie).  Lots of carbs, but also lots of fiber and protein too.  I need to work on being better about the 3rd meal and working out more than 10 minutes once in a while....but, at least I'm doing something.  I've cut way back on the amount of ice cream and soft serve I've been consuming.

Good Times

I completed a 20-minute workout today: Cardio Blast 1 & Cardio Blast 2.  I bought some Xantrex today to help me shed those unwanted love handles.  Mike doesn't like that stuff, but I like to think it helps.

Rainy Day

Yesterday I did 10 minutes of The Biggest Loser.  Since it is Week 2, I was supposed to do 2 routines (20 minutes total) and either didn't realize it or chose not to realize it.  Mike called me on it last night.  Today I completed a full 20 minutes: 10 minutes of upper body (easy, no sweat, literally) and 10 minutes of lower body (lots of sweat, sore gluteous maximus).  Now I'm going to go take a shower!

Oh, we had a wonderful weekend with the family.  I made this video of our bon fire fun.

Rainy Day

I was planning to take another 3-mile walk with Rocky today but when I woke up the weather was not very pleasant.  It's foggy, dreary, and storming.  SOOoo, I did the 10-minute jump start workout by The Biggest Loser.  I'm so out of shape!  I had to do some of the routines the way the "beginner" people do it (half-way).  Oh well, at least I got off the couch and did it!

Another Beginning

Mike has been encouraging me to start working out again.  Then, my wonderful mother decided to post pictures of us in our swimming suits from Memorial Day on Facebook.  Not good! 

Mike bought a 30-Day Jump Start workout video made by The Biggest Loser.  It's only 10 minutes a day for the first 4 weeks.  Then, we'll restart P90X after our first 30 days.  We have a camping weekend planned with my family, so I'm not sure how good that will be for us in our first week.  Yet, since we are just beginning, it's okay this early....that's my neutralization.

Anyway, I began the video on Tuesday and worked out again yesterday with the video.  This morning I took Rocky for a walk to Enger Tower and back.  We stopped a the pond on the way there and back.  Rocky loves that pond.  He had lots of fun jumping from shore to the water and back out again, over and over.  The entire walk is 3 miles.  I even  jogged the last couple of blocks home (all downhill though).
