Guess what I did!

I WORKED OUT YESTERDAY IN THE MORNING...BEFORE WORK, YIPPEEE!!!

I know...you can't contain your excitement, right!?! Well I can't...that takes a LOT for me. This is how my workout regimen "generally" goes...I'll workout three or four times one week...two or three times the next...and then I'll skip two weeks and the cycle starts over. I just can't get a routine going where I workout constantly, three to four times a week. I MUST make it a priority. I HATE getting out of bed in the morning. PROBLEMS. When I have been working out lately, it has been when I get home from work. I don't have to work that long of hours...but regardless, when I get home around 6...the LAST thing I want to do is spend an hour working out. Unfortunately, working out is not a "release" for me as it is for so many people. Maybe, if I could ever turn it into something I love/do without thinking about/get a routine it could turn into that for me. But, as it stands right now...it's just not. Working out is something I dread, I guess because I feel like I "have" to do it. Blehhhh.

I don't have a gym membership anymore...I like workout videos so that when I do muster up the energy to work out I can do it at my convenience and do whatever workout I want to do. I really like "classes" and most gyms just don't have good times for me. I know that if I ever do get in a habit of a.m. workouts it will never include me waking up early enough to drive to a gym and have to shower there, etc. It also seems like so many of our gyms class times suck for working people. They either start at 5:15, 5:30 or not until 6:45. Well...can't get there before 6, but yet 6:45 is too late...I hate wasting time. I think it would be silly to go home for 30 minutes and then have to go back out to the gym. Anyways...point being, I have lots of exercise videos. LOTS. But, yet I still get bored with them. I think Mikey might kill me if I order anymore, but I'm yearning to mix it up soon.

These are the ones I do the most frequently:

1. Slim in Six: there are three different workouts in this one
2. 30 day shred
3. Power 90, the "before" product of p90x. There are like 7 different workouts in this package.
4. P90x...I don't like the whole regimented scheduled of this program (and yes, I'm sure if I acutally did it and stuck to it, I would probably see amazing results, but it calls for working out SIX days a week, there is just no way I can do that. ) But, I will randomly do the cardio videos...
5. Another Jillian, this one's pretty killer!
I have many more, but these are my favorites right now. How do those of you who workout at home mix it up? We also have a treadmill that I use when I can just sneak in 20 or 30 minutes. All this and I still get tired of doing the same ones. What is wrong with me?

So...I've been thinking about jumping on this bandwagon. I really think I would like it. Hmmm....

  1. I've always been a Jillian fan...I love her videos, books and diets! I have been thinking about jumping on the Pure Barre wagon, too...I guess b/c of where we live, I am just hearing about this!

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
