WHEN DID I WORKOUT ?

After I made a loaf of bread.

After I made chili for dinner tonight.

After I helped Allie make sticky buns.

After spending just about all day in the kitchen, then I went to the gym and worked out.

YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME

Yesterday I ran outside. The sun was out and it was a fairly decent day. I went to Kids Kastle and took some stale bread with me to feed the ducks. They seemed to enjoy the treat.

Today it was not so nice. I don't want to complain because we aren't having storms like the East is but it was grey and damp and I just didn't want to leave the house. I opted to stay in and try the Jillian on the wii. It wasn't a bad workout, in fact I was even sweating when I finished. My only problem was I had a hard time following so I was not quite in time with her and she let me know at the end by saying " YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME"

IS IT SPRING YET ?

According to Phil we have 6 more weeks of winter, but today finally reached into the high 40's and with the sun out it seemed like Spring. I haven't done anything since last Thursday so went for a walk with a bit of running thrown in.

It felt good to be out and moving.

GOT THE BUG

If there was a weekend to get sick, this was the one. We had a high of 29 Saturday and I spent it on the couch using all the Kleenex I could get my hands on. This morning I am still congested and my nose is still running. I'm hoping I will feel better so that I can get up to the gym. I have 3.08 miles to go to reach my 50 for the month.

NOT ALONE

This morning was gray and wet out with a temperature of 55. I missed running on Tuesday and Wednesday so knew I needed to get out today. Tomorrow we are suppose to have sleet or worse, ice. I decided to drive up to Kids Kastle and run on the paths there. That way I would be near the car if it started to rain hard and also would have bathrooms available. I saw one other person when I started but they soon disappeared over a hill never to be seen again, I ran around the pond and past the baseball fields and along side the middle school track. It was wet but not cold and I kept going. Then I saw coming from the middle school a group of guys headed for the track. Company, I'm not out here running alone.

BETCHA CAN'T PICK ONE

Today was my birthday and I had every intention of going for a run but the morning was busy with phones calls and then I had to make trip to Dallas to pick out my birthday cupcake at Sprinkles. Yes, I love this place! Oh just the thrill of walking through the door and trying to decide which precious cake I'll choose. Chocolate looked good but it was the coconut lemon that caught my eye. Can you go home with just one ? I also took 2 peanut butter, 2 vanilla with chocolate icing and 1 strawberry.

JILLIAN AND BOX JUMPS

Okay, it's Sunday and that means a trip to the gym to do a workout from Jillian.

I don't know why Christy and I always pick the ones with a lot of leg work, but we do ! Today's included basic lunges, crossover lunges with hammer curls, static lunges with reverse cable flys, mountain climbers and the back kick with shoulder press. The last I am still having trouble keeping my balance. There were 5 circuits total and three of them we had to do a hill run at incline 10 for 1 minute at a 5.5 speed.

Those exercises were enough to torture my body, but ever since I saw Jenny do box jumps at her Women's Tri-Fitness competition I have been fascinated by them, I want to be able to do that. Before Christmas Christy and I had been doing a few so I wanted to try again. My goal is to be able to get to 50, today I made it to 10.
