Lol - today was SO sore from my lunge kicks of yesterday. Inner thighs, butt, hamstrings - you name it. But that didn't stop me from cleaning, doing laundry and enjoying time with my hubby. Tomorrow morning I get to train - so excited to train at the beginning of the day. I have my workouts for the week planned and booked - and they will get done! Stay tuned for what I end up doing - might be a doozy!
Have a great evening everyone - stay healthy!!

Steph - Day 5 - Wishing for Sleep
Well, I managed to get in 40 mins today. Just a walk, but that was my goal...at least 30 mins a day...and so far...DONE!
I almost didn't go, but I thought..."ugh...I have to blog tonight...and then tell everyone reading that I was too lazy to go...just GO!" lol! So thank you again Cher! :)
I'm grumpy and tired...this whole getting up at night with my daughter....it's kinda getting old. And of course...it's on me. My husband doesn't even wake up...which really makes me angry at 3 in the morning. Makes me want to keep a glass of ice water beside the bed!
Now my computer is acting up. So before I start jumping up and down on top of it.....
Goodnight!

Shay - Day four
Today I mostly behaved. Went for breakfast a friend's. Only had one piece of bacon! But the scrambled eggs had cheese on them.... Oh well, had a tiny lunch later in the afternoon and then went bowling. Shared a Mediterranean pizza with my step brother but it was way too greasy, so only had one piece.
Haven't had time to work out today. And partially didn't want to. The old sprained ankle is really painful today so I spent as much time as I could with it propped up and iced. Can't wait for this to be healed, but it's starting to feel like it's going to take longer than I had originally hoped.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to get in a better upper/core workout and go to a Super Bowl/going away party without falling victim to all the delicious snack foods.
Bleh, it's only day 4 and I've pretty much fallen off the wagon. Better get back on tomorrow and keep trying, got almost a whole month to go till the end and if I can turn it around here quick we can just pretend this never happened. Fingers crossed!

Steph - Day 4 - Taking Some Me Time
My day started super early...5am...my daughter decided it was "wake up time" and I so wasn't ready! We were at the park by 9...and by lunch time...I really was NOT into a workout. But....I'm proud to report that I made myself go and got 80 mins of hard work in! YAY!
I'm feeling better today...still a bitt of a cough, but better. I'm really proud of myself because I went to the gym. No excuses anymore. I'm tired of being fat. My daugher is 3 1/2 and I feel like I've really been using my busy life as an excuse for the last 3 years! I just can't do it any longer. Sometimes I feel guilty for taking so much time for myself, but at the end of the day, it makes me happier and more confident which makes me a better mom and wife.
Tomorrow is a cardio day, and it's going be a little hard to fit it in as we have a lot planned. But there is an hour of down time and I'm going. I've told my husband that if anything comes up, it's going to have to wait. It's all I have and I'm taking the hour for myself.
As for my eating...it's actually not going that badly. I've always found that as I get into exercising more, my eating habits just naturally improve. I did have a treat for desert tonight, but I had half the amount I would normally have...which to me is progress. So, all in all, it's been a great day. I'm feeling like I probably won't be up much past 9, but I'm okay with that! I have no regrets or guilt tonight about the day...I like that feeling. :)
Thanks again Cher for this...I really find it so helpful and enjoyable! Oh...and the video you posted...holy smokes! THAT'S a workout! And...I'd also like to have a body like hers! LOL!!!!
Goodnight and Happy Sunday!

It's Saturday! Yesterday was my active rest day, so today was workout day - and you have a new workout to check out!
I always like trying different workouts - some are good, and some not so much (lol). But I have to say that this little gem had my mouth salivating like I might puke a little (what an awesome feeling...I mean it). When I train that hard I feel wicked. The movement that kicked my butt - the lunge kicks. I haven't done any sort of jumping lunge in a couple of weeks - so 20 of these babies X 3 sets... OMG! I modified some things - I pulled my calf the other day so I was kind to it - and my neck is causing me a little grief. I didn't give up! I modified where I needed to, and still sweat. It only took 20 minutes, and today that was perfect. Making breaky for my husband, then heading into work for a bit.
20 minutes isn't long - DO IT! It's called the bikini challenge - which is fitting since that is my goal! Wear a bikini this summer! http://youtu.be/jh0vpLVIHDM
Enjoy guys! Remember modifications - and drink tons of water!
Happy Weekend!

Shay - Day three
So here's what I've learned about myself in the past three days: I'm a terrible blogger. And I like to drink when I'm single. Oh sure, I'm well behaved and watching what I eat during daylight hours. But those long nights stretching out before me need to be filled with something and, for now, that might as well be intoxication. It may not be glamorous, but it fills the time.
So today I had a couple beer after work, came home and hung out with the dog, ate some dinner and fell asleep watching Big Bang Theory. Woke up late after remembering I had somewhere to be, got there 10 minutes late, and then made my way to the pub. The rest, as they say, is history. History, and pizza. Only half a slice!
Do I get points for being home before 2? I certainly hope so.
Tomorrow: hopefully back on track. Going to a friend's for breakfast and then getting in some OT at work. Then hopefully the dog park and a workout. Let's see what the day brings!

Steph - Day 3 - Still on Track!
I'm proud to report that today I managed to get in 75 minutes of exercise. I walked on my lunch break, and then came home and ran!!! I almost didn't, but then I thought about how awesome I'd feel...and I went...and loved it!
Now, not only am I sick...but so is my husband. So last night we were both up almost all night. I'm actually starting to feel better today, FINALLY, but boy am I tired. I'm proud of the fact that I pushed aside all of the possible reasons NOT to run...and just went. I told myself that even if I didn't have enough energy to run...I could still walk. And I did 5K in 36 mins. Not great...but still 5K!!!
I'm making this short tonight, as I'm sure I'll start rambling...I'm heading to bed super early so that tomorrow I feel good, rested and ready to train!
Goodnight!
*hugs*
