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!

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
