So Sore and Feeling Awesome!

Wow!  What a day!  I am going to be sore tomorrow.

I started out using my full name and following this chart.  Ended up doing:

                170 Jumping Jacks

                130 Burpees

                60 Arm Circles

                60 Push-ups (girls style)

                5 mins of Wall Sits

My goal this month is running at least 3 miles 6 days a week.  Today I ran 3.4 on the Treadmill.

I told my friend, DiDi, I'd go to Zumba with her today.  So even though I was tired as anything I had to go.  You can't go wrong with Zumba.  TONS of fun!!  And when you have a male Colombian Instructor smiling at you and dancing in your face you kind of have to go along.  :)               

Strength Training

I found an amazing trainer online, Sarah Placencia.  She's so motivational!!

This month is the November Sweat Challenge.  Today I worked Triceps, Shoulders and Legs. Only took about 25 mins.  Feeling good!  

Running

I love to run.  Sometimes I feel like I don't want to but I do it anyway.  My goal for November 2015 is to run 30 mins every day (skipping Sundays of course).  2 Days in and I'm feeling great.  My weight has gotten a little out of control lately and I need to get it back down.  My clothes are too tight and I'm not liking how I look in them.  Time to get HEALTHY!!

3.75 miles in 40 mins

What's Your Exercise

Starting November off RIGHT!  Just finished 3.8 miles in 40 min on the treadmill.

Love You

Love your body.  Love what it can do.  Love how it moves.  Love how it performs.  

You are beautiful because you are strong.  You are beautiful because you can perform.  You are beautiful because you can improve.  

Weekends

Weekends are my downfall.  I don't know if it's movie nights, date nights or just the fact that my kids are home so I don't feel I can spare the time to exercise.  Or eat right.  I did NOT eat right this weekend in the least.  I've been keeping close watch and recording everything and both Saturday and Sunday I went over my calorie goal.  Not majorly, just over.  Now on a normal day this is no big deal because I exercise away those extra calories.  But if I just added a bit more fruits and veggies to my weekend intake I'd be ok having skipped my workouts and wouldn't end up going over.

A lot of people dread Mondays, but I LOVE them.  Mind, I don't enjoy having to get up early again.  But I do love that my Mondays are always a new beginning.  A fresh start.  I finally have time to grocery shop, I have time to clean up that mess the kids made ALL over the house and most important I have time to exercise.

Exercise just makes me feel good, physically and emotionally.  I am able to focus on my life and complete that list we all have.  If I don't exercise I get so much less done because I feel like my day has never started, so I tend to laze about the house and before I know it I'm supposed to be making dinner.

Exercise = Productivity=Happiness for me and my family.
