30 Day Challenge - Day 8

Today was a day of rest, and rest is what i did! It did tell me that tomorrow I will get to try basketball, can't wait!

30 Day Challenge - Day 7

Ok, now we are getting into some fun stuff. Yesterday dance and tennis was introduced, got to play a bit of volleyball as well. Today it was much like the first few days workout where the only fun workout was rollerblading. These lunges are killing me, seriously. When I see them on the list of planned exercises I cringe.

30 Day Challenge - Day 6

Today was a rest day and after yesterday's workout I needed it! My muscles are sore but my pants are fitting better so I'll grin and bear it! I know I keep promising the big surprise, and I promise it is coming. Be patient I am waiting on a confirmation e-mail, once I get that I will clue you all in on the great promotion!

30 Day Challenge - Day 5

Whew! This has been a week! I got a late start today when doing my workout so instead of it registering on 6/5 like it should have it showed up as 6/6 because I finished the workout TWO MINUTES past midnight! UGH! So my rest days will just be reversed, no biggie. Today they introduced lung jumps, talk about ouch. My legs are so sore. Even with all of the sore limbs and muscles I feel great. I can feel that my energy level is increasing and after a week on the program I have lost 3lbs. Now the pounds don't matter, I would rather loose inches than pounds but I have to say it sure feels good to see the scale go down ;).

30 Day Challenge - Day 4

WHEW! Day four was intense, I used Wii fit every day 20 minutes a day and never felt or sweated like I have with this. It truely felt like a gym workout with a trainer leading me. None of the excercises have been difficult to master, but they were intense enough to work me out.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for the great news!

30 Day Challenge - Day 3

Day three is a rest day on the challenge but the kids and I just couldn't stay away. We had to do the fun little workout that I created yesterday to check out the different exercises. It is about a 15 minute workout but it really gets you moving. I do have to say that I am very sore from yesterday, my biceps ache as do my thighs. My arms could be from the 30 day or trying to weed my garden or a combo of the two either way they HURT! I have some exciting news that I hope to share with you all in the next day or two. I wont say what it is just yet, but it does involve FREE stuff :)!!

Wordless Wednesday - Double Binky Baby

30 Day Challenge - 2

Day two was a little more strenuous and not as fun as day one LOL! This game really got down to business and kicked my butt! I had did the buddy workout with Loryn. You see, not only am I doing the 30 day but I got the kids involved as well. Kal is out at a friends but as soon as she gets back she will be doing her challenge for today (her and Paige will be on day one and Haley, Loryn and I on day two). It was a lot of fun working out with Loryn though, we were both feeling the burn and sweating our butts off! After we did our workout we decided to check things out and set up our own fun little workout. Paige and I tried out the dancing, basketball, volleyball and did more tennis. When we were done Haley and Loryn decided to give it a try. Here is their results:

as you can see Loryn really put in the extra effort and even though she didn't burn as many calories as Haley did she still beat her. because of that, Haley was not at all happy but Loryn was doing the happy dance.

Not Me Monday - 1

Today I did NOT spend all day in the heat and sun just to watch all 6 kids splash and play at the pool, nope, huh uh, not me! I also did NOT forget to put sun screen on myself and end up so sun burnt that I am redder then a lobster and will surely be regretting it all tomorrow, nope, huh uh, not me! I also did NOT break my back helping my husband plant four blue spruce trees after we got home, nope, huh uh, not me! I also did NOT hold my sleeping baby for over an hour after she fell asleep on me just because she was so cuddly and just too darn cute, nope, huh uh, not me!

30 Day Challenge - Day 1

I started my 30 Day Challenge today with EA Sports Active on the Wii. The workout wasn't that bad, I'll see how I feel in the morning lol! It was very easy getting it set up and all my info entered. Now that everything is in there I will be able to just jump right in tomorrow. When all was said it done my biceps and thighs burned a bit and it was a 23 minuet workout instead of the 30 it said. I did go a bit faster on some excercises then expected (I kick butt in boxing ;)).
