Well it has been a while since I have workout out. It has been since Thursday so 3 days off. oops. I should have gone at least one of those three days. EEk my family has been sick but that still is not a good excuse I could have found an hour to go or do it at home. According to Biggest Loser the second week is the toughest so that is what I am going with and this third week will be much better I promise. To start off this week I did have to work out at home today because we were feeding grandma tonight and I just wouldn't have time to go in the evening so I worked out at home using the WII active while little Maddux took his nap.

It felt so good and I for some reason was really motivated today. I love days like today because we all know they are not all like this. It makes me very grateful for when I am motivated and do well.

Legs @ home- Day #5
Ok so today was a bit of a different day. Because it is my mom's birthday we were going to be going up to Syracuse to see her and go out to dinner tonight and since I don't have a baby sitter and Ty is at school I did some working out the old fashioned way at home. I did my Wii active this morning while the little mister was taking his morning nap. It was a legs day so I did Legs and Lunges.

I must say that this work out worked awesome. I was a bit skeptical and didn't think it would work as well as at the gym but I was WRONG. My legs and bum are sooooooooooo sore and that makes me so happy. Now I know that I can workout at the gym and at home and both will work wonders. I won't be working out at home very often just because I am not as motivated to do so than when I go to a gym but once a week will work fine.

Arms-Day #4
Yesterday I took a rest day mostly because it was such a busy day and we drove up to my parents to hang out with them for the night but my body did need a rest anyway. I am so sore BTW...which is good right? Well since I had the day off yesterday I worked out really hard today. I went in by myself again while the hubby stayed home with the babe. It seems as though hubby and I will only be able to go together probably once a week on the other days I will go at night or work out at home and he will do it during his lunch break or right after his classes before he comes home. But as long as we get once a week together that is pretty good right. Maybe we will even start playing racquetball together again. We will see.

Oh and BTW I started running to Dashboard Confessionals today and it was pure BLISS! I don't think I can run to anything else anymore. They are amazing also I just went to their concert so that has made me want to listen to them all the time, but at any rate they are amazing and so easy to run to. They get me all pumped and make me want to push myself. I think that is why I was able to run further today :) Happy Exercising

Here we go again....
Well it is official I am going to start to document all of my workouts on here for reference so when I need ideas I can come back to here to find a workout that I did. Let me start out by saying I am a huge slacker and my baby is almost 9 months old and I finally decided it was time to kick this body in the butt and get back into shape. I tried to get going about a month after he was born but then I was packing and moving and unpacking and it just seemed like I constantly had excuses then when we first moved up here I was really good about running again but then it got cold and I stopped. Well now I FINALLY got an awesome deal on a gym membership and so far so good. I was looking for a good deal and I just couldn't justify how much it was when we are in law school and money is tight until a friend of mine told me about the spouse pass at the U. Ty gets to go to the U gym for free because he is a student and I get to go for only $32 a semester so that is like $11 a month which is by far the best deal I have found. I was so excited and I got my gym membership today. I am so excited to get started tomorrow and to see what the gym is like. Since it is at the university there is no day care but I am going to go either in the evening when Ty gets home or during Ty's lunch break and on Saturdays when Ty is home so it is still going to all workout. Hopefully I will be able to get into a good routine and loose this baby weight. And yes I can still call it baby weight until he is a year old....and he isn't yet so there! :) Happy Exercising!
