Day Three...

Can't
Get
Away
From
FaceBook.

Must Do workout.
Must Eat (make) dinner.
Must Clean living room.

Must
Return
To
FaceBook...

Today is a hard day to be motivated. Not because I hurt (which I do, but whatever)... Not because I don't want to do the workout (which I don't really...) Not necessarily because my neck hurts from trying to watch the video and exercise ... all while trying not to use my neck muscles to do the crunches...

Mostly because I'm addicted to FaceBook and now my Blog update! LOL.

Now that I have openly admitted that... I'm closing down FB (for now) & going to hit the mat. The girls both fell asleep so this is a great opportunity to do it without them underfoot.

Stolen Picture Alert!

So, I stole this from Carrie... who stole it from Lois (after Lois sent it to her)...

Great Auntie Lois (Soon to be "Grandma" Lois) & Hannah Jase!

Photobucket

By Popular Demand

SOMEONE I love dearly (named Renee) has specifically asked for some pictures of the girls!
SO, FINE!

Photobucket
Hayley much preferred this ^^^ than the following picture:

No, that isn't excitement & pleasure on her face... Sheer Pure Fear

Hannah, of course, wanted to climb up the shed & jump off the roof...

Tonight at the park. She drew an apple. Then we drew chalk-outline bodies.
Some lady walked by & exclaimed... "WOW! She is really a good artist!"
(duh, woman... her 32 year old mother drew the bodies... she is just filling them in)

Hannah will not LOOK at the camera for more than 2 seconds... and she for SURE won't smile.
So, this is what I get!

Week 2?

Today I started the Jillian Michael's 30-day Shred DVD.

It is about 20 minutes of a circuit training program... starring everyone's FAVORITE Female butt-kicker from Biggest Loser... She was actually really awesome in the video. She and her double-six-pack abs & her perfect-arms telling me the burn is GOOD and it will get easier. HA!

I had to modify it a little, because I knew my neighbor-down-stairs was home and didn't want to do 60 seconds of jumping jacks... so I did "Half-Jacks" (3/4 jacks?) Just one leg & both arms involved...

But everything else was TOTALLY doable! The girls really got into it & I now need to get them some 2-pound weights... they fought over mine every time I put them down.

During the "legs shoulder width-apart" sections.. yup. Mommy = Bridge.
So, most of my workout was spent trying NOT to step on the girls.

Hayley called it the "Exercise is Fun" video!

Off to some mommy-time... bath & books are next on the agenda. Maybe I can read books WHILE they are in the bath... multitasking.

Hayley announced "All your typing is making me CRAZY! Let's GO!"

I love her.

And the Result is.... (drum roll, please)

Tim is down 6-pounds.
Sara Lou is down 5-pounds!

YAY US!

my 5-pounds is a bit sketchy, because I weighed on one of those doctor's balance-scales, so I didn't REALLY get an accurate reading, but heck - it is 5-inaccurate pounds less than last week! LOL.

(but I did weigh-in on my digital scale, that I trust more for some reason, so I have a good starting # from there as well).

AND my friend Amanda challenged me to do Jillian Michael's "30-Day Shred" work-out DVD with her. She started over the weekend & I was SUPPOSED to start Monday, but will start when that dang video arrives. (I found it on NetFlix FOR "free"!) She said there are push-ups involved. YIKES!

BTW - Jillian is that annoying, but completely lovable brunette trainer from Biggest Loser. I'm going to imagine punching her in the face at the end of each work-out to make it through! LOL! BUT - I must say, SHE is what people like me need! Someone who cares enough to kick-my-butt.

So, I am going to eat my turkey-meatloaf.
(Jenn Hammond... I'm thinking about you with every-bite! LOL)
