The Roaring 20s!

So I am going to make a jump to Turbofire and Chalean Extreme Hybrid week three. The reason is there is three weeks of Recovery and I am ready to start up a more cardio based work out! So Tomorrow I will be doing Extreme Abs and Recharge.

Next week I FINALLY start Fire and HIIT classes! I could not wait another week to start! Can't wait!!!


So big news.... I bought a dress! I am so glad it is over it and am very very happy with the dress! Some may even say I love it ( I totally do!) Only thing you are going to get out of me tonight is it has pockets! I love that it has pockets!

Now on to bridesmaids dresses! Well I am really really really having a hard time finding one! I think I may have found one... or found a good idea. We are going to go shopping in a few days!

Push Ups the past few days I have did 72... only 176 to go and 8 days to do it! Piece of cake, Piece of Pie hell piece of celery!

This picture I thought was super fun

Time to get Extreme!

Kicked Ass today! LOL I got a TON done at work, which makes me feel great! Matt comes home tomorrow! I miss him so much, feels like he has been gone for ever! Can't wait!

Today I did Burn Circuit 1! I need heavier weights, or need to get to the gym more! I only have up to 12.5 at home! I can't really afford to buy more so going to the gym more often is what just has to happen!

I only did about 15 push ups yesterday! Oh well I am still ahead of the game! Only 248 more to go! Well gotta keep this short as My son can not even dress himself right now!

Skakeology anyone?

Today I am looking ahead to a brighter future! It is just one of those days where I feel I am prepared for anything! I double dog dare today to bring it! LOL

I have great tasty healthy food to eat and a positive attitude! I had ½ cup Low Fat cottage cheese for breakfast. Lunch will be Spaghetti Squash with onions with a side of Hummus and Celery. Snacks I have red peppers, cucumbers and a string cheese. Yummy! I love love love love vegetables!!!! Dinner is up in the air as of now!

I have yet to decide what work out I am going to do tonight. I am thinking Max Cardio Conditioning! I need to feel the burn tonight. Tomorrow is Burn circuit 1 which is all strength training so I want to get my cardio in today! I am hoping it shows on the scale on Friday! I am hoping to be down 1 pound!


Has anyone out there tried Shakeology?? I am thinking about ordering a month supply. I don’t want to pay for it if is not effective. I so desperately want to get control of my weight! Please let me know if you have had a positive or negative experience with the Shakes before I go and spend $120.00 for it!

I don’t really have any wedding updates for you today other then I am super super super excited

Last night I did 110 Push Ups only 263 more to go! Looks like I may reach my goal of 600 early!

Stretch it out!

Well the cleaning goals for the week went out the window. It may happen just not at the pace I would like. Odin broke his hand at school today so I will be snuggling up to him and watching Biggest Loser. I cleaned out my fridge and sweep my kitchen so that is something right!

I plan on doing push ups and burpies for every other commercial break! Hopefully I don't get bored with that, the show is two hours long! I will let you know how that goes!

I started my Turbo Fire Chalean Extreme Hybrid Monday. That started with Stretch 40 Class! And let me tell you I have never felt better. I am not much of a fan of stretching and yoga type moves but I went into it with an open mind! By the end I felt that I was melting into the ground! I kind of can't wait to do that Class again, too bad it is in four weeks!

Today was Ab Burner and Recharge. Ab burner is ten minutes long! Does not sound like much but it is all abs! Feel the burn! Recharge was twenty and I kinda half assed it! I mentioned I was not huge on stretching! Well I had a kid in pain so I had to start paying him some attention.

Tomorrow is a Rest day on the Hybrid schedule, but to keep up with things I am going to either do the elliptical or maybe an Insanity DVD?? Not sure!

On the wedding front, I am really close to finishing up my save the date! Very excited, my brother John is way talented and is working on them for me!

Push Ups last night I did 55 push ups, only 373 left to do!

Clean Time!

Back to work! Ah Mondays! This week, Matthew will be out of town for the week on business! I am going to miss him for sure, but I also am going to take advantage of the time alone. I am the type who needs a rigid plan or I will just do nothing at all. So here it goes…

Mini Goal clean clean clean!

Today, I have a dentist appointment at 4:30 so I will only be able to do my work out and the steps and hallway!

Tuesday work out and clean Kitchen, dining room and laundry.

Wednesday work out and do my two living rooms

Thursday work out and Clean Odin’s room and bathroom.

Friday, work out and organize my clothes (which could take all weekend!)

Sounds simple but as you know as a single mom taking time to work out, clean, do homework, study and get dinner done is not as easy as it sounds. Matthew always helps out when he is home, which I am so grateful for but with him being out the entire week it will be challenging! Gotta do it!

I am thinking I may need to do my work outs in the morning so I have time to give my son and my house the attention required!

On the Wedding Front, I am thinking I am going to do a mixture of silk and fresh flowers. I have a good friend at work willing to help so that should be fun! Has anyone ever did their own silk flowers and is there any good websites I should look into?

Pushups, Saturday I did 50 and Sunday I did 92! Only 428 more to go!

Country vs Glam

Last night I did Plyometrics Cardio Circuit and it kicked my butt! That work out officially ended week one of Insanity. I will only be doing one or two more Insanity work outs for a few days as I will be starting Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme Monday! Super Excited!

I was able to stay with in my calorie range yesterday (barely) That is triumphant for me on a Friday. Now I just need to keep that up Saturday and Sunday.

Planning on walking the dog a few times today, doing the steps at work and going to the gym later and of course getting my daily push ups in! Hopefully I will have time to do it all.

On the wedding front, I am trying on dresses next Sunday and I want to feel confident that I was eating and exercising as much as I could!

I am torn between two different but similar looks. I really like Vintage Country but feel that it looks better at an outside wedding. So I am starting to look at Vintage Glam which feels more fitting for my venue! Now if I could just combine the two I would be happy! The flowers in the picture inspire me. Such pretty colors.

Yesterday I did 45 push ups, only 520 more to go

Taking Steps!

Insanity Pure Cardio kicked my butt last night! I was not looking forward to it all day! I did it with very little breaks! So I am super proud that despite the fact I was dreading it all day, I went home, threw on some sneakers and kicked butt! And I smiled the entire work out!

Pure Cardio was and still is my most challenging work out I have ever done! I have a goal to one day get through the entire work out with no breaks! Someday, just not right now! I have to stick to my wedding goals!

Today I am making a conscience choice to track my food, as it is one of my goals. To make this easier I am doing it first thing in the morning for all the food I have packed for the day. This has never been easy for me. One would think this should be easy, I just hate turning on the computer when I get home from work. I will let you know tomorrow how I do!

I have a mini goal today… Usually I walk a mile with a walking group at lunch. It is cold, wet and windy today, so walking the path at lunch is out of the questions. So after lunch with my fiancé, Matthew we are going to walk the stairs for 15-20 minutes. Can’t wait!

Last night I did 35 pushups! Only 565 more to go!
