Fitness Update

Before going on Blog Hiatus, I was in the beginning stages of getting back to being healthy.
Here's my update. I have kicked it into full gear. I was inspired by another blogger who was sharing her success and hardships with the Jillian Michael's Shred DVD. I thought-wow good for her, i could never do that...
But you know what? I decided to stop whining about being overweight and take control. I completed the 30 day Shred, Have started eating very healthy & am now moving into a different exercise regiment.

Sites that we love!

This sites are amazing, most I am able to use for work ideas also!

day 4

walked/ran around the Arborteum for awhile with kids. (then onto Halloween events- but spared myself the candy!)

Day 3

Well folks, day 1-2 proved to be a rough start. Instead of working out on my lunch break on Wednesday, i ate a carmel sucker & popped my filling out- Lesson Learned- work out instead of pigging out!
Didn't work out on Thursday at all
However, Today- Friday-Day 3- i kicked butt!
Full workout in fitness center- 10 mins of hard work on the eliptical (aka- the killer leg machine) several reps of various exercise on the machines. my proud moment was the 20 sit ups on each side (focusing on 1/2 oblique stretch at the top) YAY!
I just need to keep the motivation!

Day 1

Feeling very motivated to bring back my exercise focus. I think the last 2 weeks of restricted activity has renewed my desire...even though i feel i am almost allergic exercise.
Day 1-part 1
walked the dogs for 20 mins, not what i would call a consistently brisk walk (since the Boys stop to urinate on everything)
Part 2- Plan is to get in the fitness center during my lunch break & work on core muscles

Some of my favorite Dog Pictures. This is the JJ Dog. Pure Keeshond

At home sensory table

In our school the children LOVE to play in the sensory table. We decided to make one for home. Emptying out an old clothes bin, we have a long skinny "table". Our first activity was colored rice. The kids had so much fun mixing & stirring water colors into bowls of white rice. The water color dries within minutes. The next day we emptied the rice into the table. (of course we had to take pictures of the beautiful colors.

Rice- so much that can be done with this edible element. I picked up a bag of rice from one of those Mega Savings/Mega Size stores. This 50 pound bag (yep 50 pounds of rice) was only $15.00. What am i going to do with that much rice....eventually we will be making Eye Spy bottles. (that's post for another day)
