REGROUP!

Ok ladies, this snow has thrown us all off. I'm not sure what you all are up to with your workouts. I am WAY off and need to regroup and remotivate. I am using this weekend to do so. I haven't been blogging or working out consistently due to the kids/snow. So, this weekend is all about reworking my game plan! Summer is right around the corner ladies! Let me know how you're doing. Even if it's through email/fb. Cheers!

Found this on flatter abs.

I know you can't spot train, but found this little article. What the heck! I'll give it a whirl.

Exhaling....

Ahhhh, kids are back in school and my routine is trying to return to normal.

I went to the gym to run today which did NOT work out. I started to run and my pants kept falling down AND I forgot my ipod. Not a good combo for running. So, I did my quick 20 min butt buster (walking up hill at 12%) and went on my way.

I am looking forward to body pump tomorrrow (if school is on time). Otherwise, I will have to wait until next week. Hope you all are staying warm. Cheers for now!

I have great friends!

Thanks Cloie for YOUR motivation. I appreciate all my friends and their support of one another.

Although I dressed for the gym first thing this morning I procrastinated getting out of the house. Thanks to my good friend I got my butt in gear finally at ONE O'CLOCK! I went to the gym and did the eliptical and treamill (butt buster), then some weights. Looking forward to a more regular routine after the snow clears.

Great job Cloie. I can't believe your working out outside. That is so awesome! I will plan a girls night soon to get motivated for summer. I'm thinking margaritas, tropical music, shorts.......at my house in March! I'll keep you posted!

Ground Hog Day

Doesn't it feel like the movie Ground Hog Day. You wake up thinking the kids are back in school. Excited. Motivated. Then BAM! reality hits you in the face. No school. When will this movie end. Last I heard we have 6 more weeks of winter. Really? Someone shoot that damn rodent!

Ok, I'm done. So I did go to the gym with 1000 others. Got in a quick eliptical workout. Did just a few weights before I became frustrated that I had to wait for machines. So, now I am home. I guess I'll do some abs before my shower! Hope you all are surviving! I can not wait until Spring! I'm going to dance around in my undies in the yard! Ok, maybe at night ;).

Sometimes you need a kick in the a$#!

Thanks Pam!

Ok, so up until today I haven't done anything except stuff around the house. But today I got to the gym (woo hoo) and did 30 min on the treadmill, 20 on the eliptical and 10 on the stairs. I did some legs and back. My arms were sore from yesterday (shoveling) so I skipped those. I can not WAIT til kids are back in school to "normalize" my routine!

Stephanie came over today and I did a fashion show with my swimsuits. A very humbeling experience in front of my dear friend, slim. But I needed the humility! So, get your a$#es in gear ladies. :) Only 107 days til Memorial Day! I know Cloie is walking! What else is going on out there????

Braving the snow..........

I'm going in! Wish me luck!

Anyone out there?

Hello! I am sooooooooo behind on life thanks to Mr. Winter. When I said ...."who wants to lose weight by valentines day?"..... I really meant "who wants to GAIN weight for Vday?". All I have been doing this last week is eating. I don't do well when I'm stuck home and I'm cold. I have not been to the gym since I ran last Thurs. I have been doing the 'housekeeeper workout' but it's not cutting it!

I hope you are more motivated than I am! I need your motivation! Spring is 4 weeks away!

Distracted by the weather!

I am having a hard time focusing the last 24 hours w. the weather approaching quickly. I did a quick 2 mile run (ok, at my pace it wasn't quick, but that's all I did at the gym) yesterday. Today I have done A Housekeepers Workout (stairclimber= up/down the stairs w. laundry, shoulder press=vacuuming the curtains up and down, squats= picking up toys constantly all day, bicep curls= chips and salsa up and down into my mouth :0 ). But tonight I will do pushups and abs. So, I will try to salvage the day! Tomorrow I'm working. Sunday is play in the snow day! Hoping everyone is safe and warm! Cheers!

Here we go....

Ok ladies, starting tomorrow we have 10 days to drop 2-4 lbs! I'm glad you're playing along! I skipped the gym today cuz I'm so sore from body pump yesterday! I loaded up for squats and back. The day before I did a butt/leg buster. So, today I'm going to just walk on the treadmill in the basement. I think we should all meet at the end of each month for a drink and encouragement! If anyone is interested, I'll host the first one! Stay warm. Here are some ball exercises while you're stuck at home:

If you don't have a ball you can do some of the following:

*pushups
*body squats
*pull ups
*steps up and down
*planks
*grab an old video and pop it in
*abs
*stretching

Wait for it.......

More snow and bad weather! Ouch!!!!!!! I can't believe it but we are having a really good winter (if you like the cold). I hope you are staying warm.

No takers on the 2lbs Vday challenge? Go to Victorias Secret for motivation! :)

I did body pump only today. The new release is tough so that was enough for me! Glad you're sticking w/ your plan Pam. Hope everyone is too! Chat soon!

Valentines Day!

Let Valentines Day be your next milestone. Two weeks away. Try to drop 2-4 lbs before the 14th. Challenge yourself. I figure a few small goals will lead to bigger ones. So, that's my goal for now.

We officially booked our hotel for the 1/2 marathon in Septemeber. I hope the weather lets up so I can get outside! Iwent to the gym today and did my 'butt buster' on the treadmill for 25 minutes, then biked a slow pace for 20 minutes and ended with 10 minutes on the stair climber. Hope you all had a sweaty day!
