Weigh Day 8/6/12

Let's get right down to business! I am up .6 lbs from last Monday. No complaints, my eating was off (calorie busting) over the weekend I'll talk about that in another post.

I still didn't buy a measuring tape, when I went to Joann's AND Michaels I forgot both times lol! But I did have the girls snap my pics after my Saturday workout. I had to have them do it while I was thinking about it...please excuse the hot sweaty mess!









I'm not feeling the mini muffin at all, I'm working on it! Last weeks workouts were Turbo Fire and Jillian Michaels' Ripped In 30. Five workout sessions, here's my last weeks totals:




I've got 5 workout sessions scheduled for this week, plus another potential calorie busting weekend with my family reunion (sigh). I'll get my workouts done, guaranteed!

Today is the first day of the rest of your life!

Weighted gloves

I have a pair of one pound weighted gloves that I haven't used in awhile. I figured I'd pull them out for my Thursday morning Turbo Fire workout. My arms have muscle but my triceps could use more work!









This morning I remember why I haven't used these gloves!! My shoulders and arms are aching! I'm laying in bed trying to figure out how I'm going to do this Ripped in 30 workout?? Uuummm yeah not happening until this evening!

Let me tell you these are a GREAT cheap investment to add to your workouts! If I can recall correctly, I paid something like $12 on Amazon.

You will have to get used to wearing them. One pound doesn't seem like a lot but strapped to your hands it feels like one hundred pounds after awhile!

I'll most definitely be wearing these from now on for my cardio workouts!

Look at me now! Fab weekend :-)

The girls and I at my cousin's wedding reception 7/9/11

I had to share this picture because I absolutely love it! We partied hard that night, so much that I ended up sleeping the majority of Sunday afternoon! Good times with family!

Sunday dinner...


Seasoned pan seared cod, creamy garlic grits, onions, cauliflower, sweet peppers and tomatoes

This tasted so damn good, it will most definitely make it into the dinner rotation every couple weeks!

I woke up this morning ready for my workout, Ripped in 30 workout #3. I hadn't previewed workout #3 so I had NO idea what I was getting myself into *sigh*! This shit was difficult!!

I was panting so hard I just knew I was going to pass out!! I had to keep reminding myself to focus on the breath! I managed to make it through the routine with the modifications on some moves and a couple of rest moments.

Nevertheless I'll be up and at it again tomorrow! I have to keep challenging myself!
