Consistent.....

Here I am, another pressed-for-time Saturday and I still did my workout! I did my Turbo Jam Ab Jam and my 1 mile super walk. I am sweaty and happy at the moment! Exercise has become so much a part of my life that I was about 4 minutes into the ab workout before I truly even though about what I was doing. It was just so automatic: get up, eat, rest a bit, work out. I love this! I enjoy myself now when I am working out. Exercise is actually fun. I used to hear people say that and I thought they were totally bat shit insane or something. Now, I am one of those people. Well, call me crazy.....

Slackin' off.....

Yeah, I missed a few days of posting. I am still on track with my health, even making some strides. I just got sidetracked and didn't get my posts done. Sorry. Hope someone is still reading this! I am really enjoying my cardio workouts. They are just so fun and invigorating! I do the Turbo Jam Cardio Party. Today I noticed that I didn't struggle as much as I used to. I have improved! Awesome!
On another note, I have been really getting into nutrition and such again. I am researching more about additives and preservatives in our food supply, as well as those god awful GMO products. I fully support accurate labeling of GMO ingredients. Here is a great site for more info: Just Label It  I love this site. Also, if you are curious about what is in the food you consume, go to Food Facts and check out their site. So much helpful info for free! I encourage everyone to have a look at what is in your food. You may think you are healthy, but when you learn about the chemicals you are eating you will be surprised. I was. Go. Learn. Tell.

Wait...what?

Ok, ok...so hubby and I are slack asses and we forgot to go get a new scale. Sue me. We will get one soon. Promise. Anyway, I was a good girl again today. I did my Turbo Jam 20 minute workout. I'm saving my walk for later tonight, since it should be beautiful weather. I am going to try and take it outdoors. I am trying to keep my mood up today, but hubby is in a foul one and that is not helping. Bad moods ruin everything. What a grouch. I plan to relax today. I want to read a bit, and I got some of those ultra soft aloe sock thingies for my feet. (they're purple!) I suppose I will slather on some lotion, don my socks, and relax while my feet get softer. Sounds like a plan to me.

Sweet Sunday....

I feel pretty awesome right now. I just did my Turbo Jam Ab Jam and a brisk 1 mile super walk courtesy of my Leslie Sansone dvd. The old me would have seen today as a day to be lazy, since I am off work and have no errands to run. The new me said, "Hell no! I am pushing play!" I surprised myself this past week. I worked out every single day, without fail. That has to be a first for me. I am down about 4 pounds I think, but we still haven't gotten that new scale. We plan to go out tomorrow and finally choose one. My gut is slowly disappearing, I have more energy, hell I am even sleeping better. Ah, the benefits of fitness! I could get used to this. It will be a slow process, losing all this weight, but I plan to enjoy it this time around. Besides, I'm a Libra. I can make anything fun!  :)

Push.....

I used to find any excuse not to work out on Saturday. Today I had every reason. I didn't sleep enough. I was awakened very early by a noisy neighbor. I have to go in to work early. I could use a break. Well, fuck that. I did my workout today. Yes, I did it! I pushed myself to do Turbo Jam 20 Minute as well as a 1 mile super walk. I still have time for a shower and late lunch before work. So much for excuses. I am a changed woman. Now I feel awful if I don't do some type of fitness each day; like some part of me is missing. I love this feeling. I accomplished what used to send me running for the couch. Also, I am starting to see definition in my WAIST. Hell, I haven't seen my waist in years. I wasn't even sure I still had one. But it is coming back now! Awesometastic!  :)

Time flies.....

Wow, I am pressed for time today! I spent most of my afternoon grocery shopping, and I just squeezed in my Turbo Jam Ab Jam before I have to grab a shower and then head to work. I have had zero time to breathe today! But I am proud of myself. I did my workout, even though I had a valid excuse to skip it today. I may not get to walk my mile, but I did my ab workout! I am improving! :)

Togetherness....

Well, today my hubby came to me and asked me to go to the gym! I was so proud of him! He weighed himself (he is down 2 pounds!) and he walked on the treadmill while I did my mile on the elliptical. (in 10 minutes, I might add!) Soon I will work up to 2 miles, but for now I want to build my stamina on 1. Then, we walked down to get the mail, and back to our apartment. After a HUGE glass of water, I did my 20 minute Turbo Jam workout. I am sweaty and happy! I am actually starting to notice a change, mentally and physically. I feel smaller, fitter. I crave good food and exercise. I push myself more. I am so happy with how things are going right now. Tomorrow we are buying a new scale (finally!) so I can start keeping track of my weight again. Right now I am sucking down a bowl of red seedless grapes and a glass of water. I love water. Seriously. I am so proud. I have been consistent this week. I am making good decisions regarding my health. My hubby is finally following suit. I am all smiles today. :-D
