A Good Day

Well today was a wonderful day, other than my thighs are still hurting like hell from doing the Jillian Michaelsworkout yesterday!! The scale said I lost weight…woo-hoo!!! It’s about damn time there was another loss!  I got a lot of work done as well and found out through today’s challenge that even the simplest of things can make you work up a sweat and give you a boost in your confidence as well.

It amazes me the things that one can do when one has the right mind set while doing it. I know for me, I used to make every excuse as to why I could not do something. Let’s face it, I could always do anything that I wanted to (ok…well almost anything….ha), I just did not feel like it. Now, I am determined to prove to myself that I can do most of the things that I was always making those excuses for.

Deciding to make May the month “To Make It Count” has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of ways that I can get in extra exercise on most days to help me lose weight. It has also made me stop making those excuses and just do things that I knew all along that I could.

I enjoy trying to think of something new everyday to do for the day’s challenge. If this damn rain would stop, I might actually be able to get outside and do more things as well. I haven’t been able to go for a walk in some time now and it’s starting to not only bother me, but not helping my weight loss either.

So yeah, today was a good day. Even dinner was good….made my homemade Sloppy Joe's (check out the recipe under My Kitchen). And actually got to eat dinner with both my husband and son for a change.

Ok…enough of me rambling on here....

yep....I did those

May have been only 11 boards, but they gave me a good workout

Movin those boards...all by myself!!

Today’s challenge….polyurethane boards and move them by myself ( I usually made excuses as to why I couldn’t move them myself….not today). And let me tell you, I worked up a good sweat!!!


Till next time…..remember to eat healthy, get some exercise, and most of all, love yourself!!! Now go make it count!!

Tv and Exercise

Tv and exercise!!

Oh yeah “America's Got Talent” is back on. I got talent, at putting weight on, not losing weight like I am to be doing…haha. I want my damn Coconut Palm Sugar, NOW!!!

But seriously, there is nothing wrong with sitting down and enjoying some tv now and then. But you don’t have to be just a couch potato while doing so. You can get in some little exercises while watching things on tv like “America’s Got Talent”, when the commercials come on. Instead of going to the fridge or cupboard to get something to snack on, get some exercise in.

We all know that there are loads of commercials during any show and when shows like “America's Got Talent” are on, they seem to add extras in there somehow. Anyhow, try doing some form of exercise every time the commercials come on.

Things like: jumping jacks, jump rope, push ups, sit ups, arm curls….etc. You get the picture. There are hundreds of different things that you could to while watching tv to get in some extra exercise.

See, there can be more to it when you decide to watch tv, then just being a couch potato. Hope this gets you motivated and moving.

Now thanks to my DVR, I myself am going to go and enjoy watching “America's Got Talent” and yes, I too will be doing some form of exercise during those commercials. This way I can say that I have talent too!!!

After doing Jillian's DVD....damn I was tired!!!

Today’s Challenge…..Did a Jillian Michaels workout….damn that woman is hard on ya!!


Till next time…..remember to eat healthy, get some exercise, and most of all, love yourself!!! Now go make it count!!
