Keep on Keeping on....Happy exercising! Oh and today is biggest Loser! I love working out on biggest loser days it gives me extra motivation. I wish they had this show for people who are just a little over weight people that want those trainers to kick their butts into being toned. I would sooooo apply.Sometimes I really want a personal trainer but I totally couldn't afford it so for now I am just going to see how working out on my own will work out. It has worked before. Positive attitude!

Arms at home (Day #8)

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.

Today was such a good day. It was one of those days that if I didn't need to get home to feed the baby and the fact that I really wanted to see my hubby and play with Maddux I could have stayed for another hour. 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. Tomorrow I will be taking a rest day and then I will be back to the gym on Thursday :) Happy Exercising everyone.

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 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
