Day Two

Changed into my workout clothes as soon as I got home from work. Did an hour of cardio right away, it was nice getting it out of the way. Thinking about trying a lunchtime workout tomorrow.

Day One

One hour of cardio done...I could've done more. Tomorrow I refuse to answer my phone if I'm working out. That completely got me off track unecessarily and I lst my focus after that. I'm trying to make myself like sweating, not easy!

30 Day Challenge

So I've decided that I really need something drastic to jumpstart my weight loss. I'm at my heaviest weigh EVER and it's really not acceptable. So starting on the 27th I need to exercise for at least an hour everyday. I know everyday sounds extreme but even if I miss a day I'll still have 6 days per week. I did an hour of cardio today for the first time in a LONG time and I'm really proud of myself and I also know that I desperately need this.

I haven't been on this blog in nearly a year but I feel like I needed to put my intentions out into the universe (if that makes any sense at all). I'll try to post what I do for my hour of exercise everyday just to hold myself accountable.

Here I go!

Baby steps

I've been in a total rut lately and I need to get back to the TA Method.  I ordered the Tracy Anderson Dance Cardio II [DVD] to motivate me...big mistake!!  While I'm glad that I officially own every TA dvd, I'm not ready to do the DC2 dvd.  I need to go back to the original DC and really work on mastering that.  So today that's what I've worked on.  I want to know these routines and be able to perform them like second nature.  So I will focus on that and eventually I'll be ready for the DC2.

Also, my diet has been horrible!!  I'm a total sugar addict, I need to kick this habit ASAP!

Good Day!

I'm feeling really energized right now.  I had a pretty good day food-wise, then came home and did my workout.  Yay me!

Breakfast:  Soy Chai Latte and a Fuji apple

Lunch:  Two bean burritos

Snack:  Two mini peppermint patties (Yikes!  Halloween candy!)

Dinner:  Roasted red pepper hummus and toasted pita chips

I did the BC book muscle work except for the arms because the book's arm work confuse me.  Instead I did the Malawi arm webisode and Tracy's Goop arm workout.

After the muscle work, I did almost 40 minutes of dancing!!  I felt great, but I really need to invest in a few more sports bras (don't think the twins are getting the proper support).  All that jumping around really started to dig in my shoulders.  I can't wait to download more dance mixes, the music really helps me get through it and it makes it really fun.

Great day...I've got to keep this up!

Tomorrow's a New Day

I've fallen off the TA Method wagon for nearly 2 weeks.  I'm no longer going to feel guilty and wallow in it, I'm going to start over.  So I'm re-reading the book and re-committing to eating clean and the exercise.  The great people on the Facebook fan page have really been an inspiration and motivation.

Injury, no bueno

My back is hurting, feels like I pulled a muscle...no bueno.

Inspiration/Motivation: Kelly Osbourne

I am always inspired and motivated by people who have body shapes similar to my own.  Weight loss and maintenance seem much more attainable when it's someone with measurements like mine.

I've always been a fan of Kelly Osbourne (even bought her CD Shut Up back in the day).  She's always had a great sense of style and a bossy attitude that I admire.  I liked her when she was a member of Team Chunk but now seeing her weight transformation has made me even more of a fan.

Today US Weekly has a story about Kelly shooting the cover of Shape magazine.  She's so honest and endearing you can't help but love her, but the line that stuck out most to me was "I just commit to half an hour a day. It doesn’t seem overwhelming and I can handle that,".  That's it, she didn't describe some crazy diet, dangerous injections or expensive supplements.  Just a half hour of exercise EVERYDAY!


It's that the commitment that I need to find in myself.  No excuses, just got to put in the work.  


Thanks for the motivation Kelly, I really needed it today!

Meet Teddy!

Just because he's so darn cute...

Not as innocent as he looks, trust me!
