TGIF (almost)

I'm writing this Thursday afternoon. I'm not sure I'll have time to write in the morning. My goal is cardio in the morning. I think a walk/run is in order! Cross your fingers that the kids have school.

Thanks Dawn for your dieting tips. She said she prepares a bunch of chicken on Sunday and uses it for quick meals/lunches during the week. Toss it in salads, pasta, with veges, whatever. Thanks. I am going to try it this week.

Tips for weights/abs for the weekend:

*Making changes in your hand position during strength moves will allow you to hit the same muscles from a slightly different angle, which can increase your strenth and definition.

*Alternate between machines, free weights and body weight to target your muscles in different ways.

*When doing crunches, rest your tongue behind the top row of your teeth. This will prevent neck strain so you can maintain good form and work your abs harder.

  1. Did 35 minutes on my elliptical this afternoon thanks to Kathy's prodding! I even did the last 3+ minutes backwards.
