Daily Inspiration -

I am SORE today from my

workout yesterday....

and I guarantee I will

be even more sore tomorrow

since I worked out again today.

I did the same workout that

I posted yesterday. 

Although it hurts to walk,

go down the stairs, or even

sit on the toilet.

It is a good pain....

Because I know that

means what I am doing

is working.

And THAT makes it

WORTH IT!

You can see the workout HERE 

that I posted yesterday

and try it for yourself. :)

I. Will. Not. Fail.

Tonight I watched another episode of Biggest Loser Couples.

What an inspiration these people are!! 

It is hard not to watch, and not want to jump up and start exercising...

I did not get a workout in today, and I'm kicking myself for it. 

It is SO easy to slip into bad habits.  If I let one day go, I might let another day go.....  

In my defense, the allergy medicine I took today knocked me out for most of the morning.  Even after waking I felt groggy. Then my cousin came over to visit and stayed until time to take my daughter to practice.  As soon as I got home, I put the kids to bed and started watching Biggest Loser, and then Parenthood. 

I SHOULD have came home and did my workout instead.  

I have both shows DVR'd so really there is no excuse.  

But isn't it SO EASY to make up excuses for ourselves? 

To find reasons why we CAN'T? 

Week 6 Weigh In

I did not have high hopes for this weeks weigh in.

Not that I cheated or anything, but there was several days that I did not get all my water in, and I only did my Wii Fit a couple of days...... if that.  On top of all this, I started my period on Saturday.  I was just praying for there not to be a weight GAIN. 

So imagine my SHOCK (and utter joy) when I lost 3 pounds!! 

  Looking back on the week, I realized while I did not set aside time to workout, there were, however, several evenings that I played JustDance2 on the Wii with the husband and kids.  I have to attribute my weight loss this week to that game...

"PLAY" TIME!

I am not an Exerciser. 

It is one of my biggest downfalls.  

I've tried in the past to start exercising but I always fizzle out. FAST.

Recently, however, my husband bought me the Wii Fit Plus.  

I think I've mentioned it previously..... but I can't say it enough.....

I LOVE it! 

I find myself pushing myself further than I would have ever gone on my own, because I want to finish the game.  It is like having a personal trainer.... except instead of someone standing over me hollering to Go Faster! Push Harder! It is my own competitiveness coming out to Drive me on harder, faster, and longer than I thought I ever could. 

I've never viewed myself as a competitive person.... but I guess I am.  Atleast...... I am with myself. 

What A Week! - Ice, Snow, and Exercise

WOW!! What a week it has been!! 

The kids and my husband have all been home since Monday Evening.  No work, and no school due to this CRAZY weather we are getting!  Growing up, I RARELY saw Snow.  Occasionally we would get an Ice-Storm but it was melting by the next day.  We got a record breaking snow for Texas last year in this area, and THIS year we have already had Snow TWICE!!! In Fact.....  

It is Snowing right now!!!! 

I love it!!! Sucks for the paychecks, but............ I'm a kid at heart. 

I LOVE SNOW!!!!!

Not everyone is crazy about being stuck at home though.... a/k/a my husband...  He gets just a little bit stir crazy... LOL.  

Sometimes You Just Have to Eat Cake

I have NOT been doing well this week.

My mom sent me home with her White Peach Home-made Ice Cream, and I can't stay out of it.  It is sooo freaking good! Not to mention all the left over Chocolate Birthday Cake from Lauren's party.

Food wise, I'm not doing too bad.  There is one small piece of cake left which the kids will devour today, and maybe 2 bowls of the Ice-Cream left.  Once that is gone,  it will be better.

I did some swimming this weekend, but not the workout kind of swim.  I haven't worked on any cheers in a while.  With all the kids here, it was impossible to.  But I need to start working on coming up with some more cheers, which will be a good workout.  It was last time.

I'm not beating myself up about eating cake and ice-cream.  Sometimes in life.....you just have to eat Birthday cake.....Enjoy a bowl of ice-cream now and then.

Just..... not everyday.
