Dang after yesterdays workout I did not think I would be able to complete my cardio session today, but I did it!! 15 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of Step Aerobics with Cathe!! My legs are freakin sore, but I know that will help melt the remaining fat around my upper thighs, lol. Well i am out for the day. I must hit the showers and get all pretty up for workout tonight. Please pray that it goes fast!! Tomorrow is going to be a fun day off. I will be meeting with a friend for a playdate her and her family goes to California for the holidays. Then I will be dropping off our son to grandpa house until Saturday!! Fred and I will be going to a Christmas party Thursday night and then Friday after I get off from work we are going out on a late night date that we have not done in several months. So, I am looking forward to this. Then Arman, our son will be coming back on Saturday and then it will be the count down until Christmas day!! I am SO EXCITED!!

have a great day all :)

Well you all, today I got a chance to do day one of the challenge and I have to say that it was not bad as I thought it would be. Later this afternoon after a nice nap (my child finally took one today, ahhh..) I did the workout for Monday today and then I did 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. It was nice, but I wished my eating habit was a little better. Today I had no plan and my fridge is getting bare and when that happens you set yourself up for failure. Learn from my mistake today. Tomorrow I will have a better meal planned out along with a hour of cardio waiting for me.

Well, I am off for the moment. Need to get some sleep in for tomorrow otherwise if I am tired and groggy that lead me to snacking during the day and no cardio and we do not want that to happen at all.

Chat later!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket My new friend Linda, at Watch Me Transform has made me aware of some new workout DVD’s to try and now I am really intrigued. She found this 3 pack series that she bought about 6 months ago. The name the DVD collection is called Get Ripped by Jari Love. Jari Love is a certified personal trainer and the creator of Get RIPPED! ™, the new multiphase, no-nonsense fully body workout system designed to help people of any fitness level shed unwanted pounds in just weeks.

The hot-selling and critically acclaimed Get RIPPED! series enables individuals to burn up to three times more calories than the traditional weight-training program, and has received rave reviews from fitness critics throughout North America since the first title debuted in late 2005. Linda’s friend was ripped!! She says that her friend went from a size 24 and dropped to a size 8 and then started doing the ripped workouts and went to size 6. She looked great! Linda continue to say that all you would need is 3 sets of weights. If you are wanting to get lean and in need of a routine to get you started check this site out!!

Thanks Linda!!

It’s Friday!! How are you feeling after all of that Thanksgiving celebrating? Did you eat too much and ready to hit the gym? I know I am. Well, here is a fit tip that I am sure every woman would want to have which are perky breast. Ever since I lost the weight my chest lost every bit of perkiness I had. So, I am willing to try every trick in the fit tip book to achieve it.

I was browsing on Oxygen, I know that is one of my favorite fitness resources because they are full of great for training tips for us losing weight and leaning out the body. But they showed a great way to workout the chest area and get them firm. The movement looks tough, but the results will be awesome!! Check it out and give it a try. I know I will on my next training day for the upper body. Below is the picture of the workout. Click here to see it in its entirety.

If that’s doesn’t help, then I guess I’m is off for a breast augmentation, lol.

Good Morning all,

I am so glad it is Friday!! Did you all enjoy the post this morning? The fit tip from Oxygen magazine and Melissa Hall? I have already worked out my biceps and they feel GREAT!! In a bit I will be cleaning the playroom with my son, so that it can look nice and neat for his party tomorrow. I do even know why I am cleaning it. It will be a total wreck after the party is done. Gotta love it! After that I have to run to the store, AGAIN!! I forgot to get toilet paper and my veggie to start getting ready for thanksgiving. Dang! Oh well… before that I will do 30 minutes of step and then I will get ready for work this afternoon until 8:00pm.

Later… watch out! I have found a new templete for this site and I can’t wait to implement it later tonight hopefully, so don’t be too surprise when you log on later and see a new site!! the reason why I am waiting for tonight is because my DH will be installing it. I am terrible at it, lol. The reason for the change is that I want something at little darker for fall I guess and I am bored of this one. I am a woman, what do you expect. hee hee.

better run!!

What a nice day today even though I had to work this evening. What did you do with your day? I hope something fun or relaxing.

Guess what? Yesterday I came home from work and my Tae bo amped arrived!! So, when I got home from work today and changed clothes and gave my little one a kiss before night, night. I worked out to the Full throttle DVD in my 5 DVD workout series that came in the kit. Man! I did the first 30 minutes. Now, the DVD is a full 55 minute, and I was sweating like a pig! I was a great workout with cardio and strength training in one. This workout had my arms burnin’ and my legs too! The amped bar was a little quirky to figure out, but I am not complaining it wasn’t that expensive to begin with. I like the music to the workout and it was fun. I will definitely do the entire workout for my cardio on Tuesday! Well, I better run, sorry so short, but I am sleepy and I have a lot to do tomorrow before going to work. Arman has a playdate with a friend and then I need to cook dinner for my guys before heading into work at 1:00pm.

Good night!

Happy Friday!!!

I just had to share this wonderful clip from youtube with a fitness tip from my favorite fitness expert Melissa Hall. This clip she shows workout moves that workout multiple body parts at one time to save you time during your busy schedules this holiday season. If I can workout and save time I am a happy camper. The other thing I like about this clip is that she show that darn belt by Slendertone! I swear I want one so bad, but $179.00!!! Is there anyone out there that owns one? Is is worth the investment? Please let me know, because if it is I will mostly buy one after I get my eliptical and barbells, lol.

Enjoy and stay fit!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Are there any golf pros or divas around here? The reason why I ask is that I have a few friends that do golf and they have been asking me to come along and try. But, honestly I really suck! I have not golfed in over 15 years and this is when my brother was a caddy for a golf club and he brought home some clubs for me to try the next time he was off from work. Back then I sucked and now I could not even imagine, but I feel so bad turning my friends down when invited. So, I was thinking of doing some research on how to improve my so called game, so that I wouldn’t feel so bad when I decided to join them for a round.

After some browsing, I came across this really neat website that I am sure some of you golf pros would really enjoy! It’s called twominutegolfpro.com. At this site you can find online lessons and learn how to improve your golf swing and lower your overall score. One feature that I also thought was nice was having the ability to consult with a golf pro online. Check this out if you are like me or if you are just a golf advocate looking to improve your game.
