Ok, so today I was just not feeling my exercise. I mean, I really still am not feeling it. But I was looking at my blogs and was reading Fit Club. So I thought to myself, all these women are really trying to stay on track and are dedicated to working out and eating right. So I better just turn off this computer and get to exercising. So I did =)!
I was really thinking about walking, but since Spring has arrived so early (which I LOVE), the pollen count is totally insane. Get this, anything over 1500, is considered a high count, today we broke yesterdays all time high by 1000 points. Yesterdays, it was in the 8000, and today it was over 9000. You can literally see it floating in the air. Everything is coated with this yellow dust. Anyway, I thought I probable shouldn't really be exercising outside. I don't normally have allergy problems, but this high a count might just put anyone in an allergy coma.
Instead, I headed to the basement and popped in my P90X Kempo disk. I hadn't done that one in a while. It was kind of nice. I was very glad to have got it done. So thank you Fit Club!!
I didn't find any good recipes to try yet. I still need to work on that.
Soccer season has started where we live as well. All three of my kids have decided to play. I love to see them so active. On Friday, we have their practices (yes, I managed to get them all on the same day). Of course their fields are on total opposite ends of the park, but I am using it to my advantage. My husband is coaching my oldest son's team, so I don't need to check up on him. So I float between my middle son and my daughter, and I take a jog between their fields. I am actually impressed I don't get winded while doing it =).
So thank you ladies, for staying dedicated to Fit Club!! It really made a difference with me today.

MIA...but I'm back
Wow, I have been MIA for a while... What have I been doing? Well, with three kids the possibilities are endless. My husband had a birthday, and I made some really cool cupcakes, I found one Pinterest. Has anyone read the article about the lawyer/pinterester who decided to delete all her boards, because she thought it was a violatioin of copyright laws? (Hello, run on sentence). That got me a little worried, so I went through and modified my boards, and made sure the only things I had on it were ones that had working links, and were appropriatly credited. Anyway, I digress. My cupcakes turned out pretty good. They were German Chocolate cupcakes with a twist. I cut lids off of the tops of them, filled the German Chocolate icing in the middle of the cupcakes, and then on the top added chocolate frosting, with a glob of the German Chocolate icing in the center. They turned out pretty good, but we didn't keep them around the house, I sent all the left overs to my husband's work. Then I wasn't tempted to eat them. I just love love love frosting. Who cares about the cake?!!
My daughter and I went to the zoo one day. I just love going to the zoo with her. The zoo pass they offer at the Atlanta Zoo is a great buy. I mean it is normally $109, but usually they will throw in 10 dollars off, making it $99. With that you can get a whole years worth of zoo visits. Which includes two adults and four kids (all kids 2 and under are free)! So if I just put my name on the pass, then I can bring 1 adult with me, and it doesn't matter which adult. Makes it just perfect for a play date at the zoo. My zoo pass is up for renewal, and I am toying with getting one again, but I think I will. Addy won't be in school full time just yet, so it is still a great time to purchase one.
Really I don't have any other excuse, just been lazy!
But I am linking up to Fit Club. I don't have any numbers to share this week. Although, I was feeling skinny today. And I did try on my other jeans. Proud to say they fit =), my 12s are starting to get roomy, which I love!! It is getting to the point, that I really can't wear the 14s, because they are falling off. YEAH!
I did bring it the one week and got in 5 days of exercise, but this last week I only managed 4. I am not sure what really happened, but stuff did. However, I am still bringing it when I do my P90X workouts, because I am feeling them the next day.
On the one video they have you are working triceps, biceps and chest. OMG!! It is seriously so hard, and I remembered why I hadn't done it that much, lol. The first exercise is just brutal. The routine is chocked full of push ups, all kinds. Anyway, the first one you do these slow push ups. So with a slow count of four you go down, 1...2...3...4, and then up 1...2...3...4... Seriously, you have to try them, even on your knees they are so super tough!!
I think with everyone's birthdays out of the way, I won't be having to fight icing and cupcakes!! That should really help. Going to work hard on the 5 days of exercise, and sticking with it! Hope everyone else is still doing well.
