Maybe not so much next time

So today I made it to the end of the third round and got sick.... That is what I get for trying to push myself to the limits when I wasn't feeling 100%

Here is what I was able to do while it lasted

Today I did

Round 1

- 19 wall push ups

- 41 Squats

- Pull up hang for 7 seconds, 14 band pull ups

- 60 Crunches

Round 2

- 20 wall push ups

- 40 Squats

- Pull Up hang for 7 seconds, 13 band pull ups

- 60 Crunches

Round 3

Now that I am getting close to 20 wall push ups each round I will be moving to bench/couch push ups soon. Now it is time for a shower and off to work.

Shout Out!

So I have to give a shout out to my girl Liz M. she just had a beautiful baby girl and is working out just like me! I want to acknowledge her daily effort with two kids to still get her workouts in! Today was cardio day, fun as always tomorrow morning on to the circuits again.

On a side note, 1 week from tomorrow I get to see my little ones, my best friends and my brother! Can wait, I will actually have pictures to post, I wonder if I can get them to workout with me?

5000 Steps

So at work they are always looking for ways to promote health and wellness, this month they are rewarding employees with $200 in their HSA account if you can walk 5000 steps every day for 12 weeks.

Todays workout - 30 minutes of cardio.

8:57 AM total steps = 5147

I am glad that some short cardio will help me meet this goal, $200 is $200!

I don't have a tracker so I am going to use this instead so I can see how I am progressing. Now it is time to do yard work before it gets in the triple digits which happens around 9:30 or so.

157.4

So I decided to re-start my fitness journey, I wanted to start posting my progress for a little motivation if not entertainment. So here is the beginning, I didn't take measurements today but my starting weight is 157.4 my goal weight it is 145. Today I kicked my butt working out today and met all my goals. I have my fin bodymedia armband helps me to know how many calories I burn each day and as long as I keep track of my food I should be on track. When I go to Disneyland in April I should be pretty close, then I make take a few steps back with all the deliciousness in California but I should be just fine. Well feel free to make fun of me all you want, we all gotta do what we gotta do.

Baby, Baby, Baby....

So I was watching a show that was singing that RIDICULOUS song and it is now stuck in my head. Give me a BREAK!! I know my girl Ashley has the fever but I don't get it. I never understood any of these teeny bopper trends in music, have they ever grown up into something you want your children to look up to? Even when I was young I never listened to New Kids on The Block or Mickey Mouse Club or whatever was around back then (Val you could probably tell me) I listened to my own version of bad music. I had my tapes, yes tapes, of Lisa Loeb (Jared is still relentless about this) and Nirvana, 311 and the Beastie Boys. Not saying I grew up to be the best person in the world but i sure am glad Britney wasn't who I looked up to, Heaven knows where I would be. I see situations where these kids would do ANYTHING to listen to or sing along with these "role models" OK so I need to also include the 40 year old women who tend to also be obsessed. It is pretty bad that anyone gets that obsessed with ANYTHING let alone a 15 year old. I am vowing that if I am ever lucky enough to have my own children the Disney Channel is BANNED from my home. Any teen bopper music is BANNED from not only my home and car but my children's mouths. I know the title of this maybe threw some people off, I still enjoy doing that. I have a niece coming in September or early October and that is enough for now. Just wanted to vent a little bit.
