This post is all about workin’ it out…

If you don’t like workin’ it out, there is a chance you might find this post extremely annoying…

KT and I had an awesome workout together yesterday!  We are both sore today and I know I will be even more sore tomorrow – I can feel it.

We started with Turbo Jam – Ab Jam {20 minutes}

Turbo Jam Ab Jam

Followed by some Chalean Extreme ~

Chalene Extreme

Chalean Extreme – Burn It Off, which is a lot of cardio {25 minutes}

Chalean Extreme – Push Circuit 1, which is strength training {15 minutes}

This was a great mixture of workouts and we were exhausted by the end!!  I wish KT and I could work it out every day together.  We are now planning our early morning Thanksgiving Day workout.  We decided we would plan it out and write it down, this way we would be sure to do it.

I will share this workout as soon as we make a final decision.  Do you have a Thanksgiving Day workout planned?

This morning I woke up at 4:45a for an early morning workout.  I am really trying hard to change my body, so a change in morning routine could be helpful, as well…

Usually when I wake up, all I can think about is school and everything I need to get done and how I should not take time to workout because there is too much to do at school.  But I need to stop thinking like that ~ because:

Never will I ever be completely caught up at school.  Ever.

I must learn to deal with this.

This morning I started by putting on my Pod and doing some jumping jacks, push-ups, bicep curls, and dips.  Once pumped up from the Pod, I moved on to Chalean Extreme – Extreme Abs.  Awesome ab workout ~ I could hardly finish the entire program.

Wait?  I did abs yesterday with KT.  I thought you weren’t supposed to do abs two days in a row?  Well, I did – and I just might even do them again later tonight.  Trust me, they have been neglected for quite some time.

^ Plus, I want these abs, so could two days in a row really hurt?

Surely not…

I’m just feeling motivated, and I hope it lasts forever.

The next few pics can quickly say all there is to say about my last 5 days ~

Can you find a difference between Medicine Pic #1 and Medicine Pic #2 ??

Look again –>

Medicine Pic #1 contains Aspirin, while Medicine Pic #2 is Motrin. 

My cousin Leslie and my sister KT each could not believe I was taking Aspirin!  They informed me that Aspirin is a medicine that older people use for heart issues.  After learning this, I took a closer look…

Oh, look at that heart in the background.  No wonder this was doing absolutely nothing to help my frequent headaches – Duh.

Maybe this is common sense to most people, but Ben & I had no idea.  I just kept commenting on how strange it was that the Aspirin did nothing for my headaches.  After talking to Leslie and KT, I went to pick up Motrin instead.  Wow!  It actually helped my headaches – I love it! 

Lesson learned ~ Take Motrin, not Aspirin.

I am finally starting to feel better, but still not 100%.  I just cannot wait to feel normal and have my normal energy, no sinus issues, and no headache.

Mom & Dad came to visit this weekend, to help us paint the kitchen.  They brought some treats for Lilly, of course…

Saturday = Painting

With our excellent help, we made a lot of progress yesterday! 

Today we are working on light fixtures and hardware for the cabinet.  Actually, Ben is working on those things.  Next will be the counter tops, new sink & faucet, and wall tiles.  I can’t wait to share the finished project!

While Ben is working on Project Kitchen, KT and I are going to hit the gym.  I have not worked out since Monday, due to my lack of energy, so I am really pumped to have an awesome workout.  I miss the gym…

I eventually got to the Habit part of this…

For awhile I wrote down every workout and felt proud to look back at a week’s worth of hard work.  Writing down my workouts helped me to make sure I did them.  Then I got to the point where I did not really care to write it down anymore, because I knew I was going to do it every day, no matter what.  I no longer needed to write it down to help motivate me.  I just did it, without thought or question… It was a habit.

Now I am back to needing to motivate myself to go workout and hit the gym.  It is not a habit for me anymore, I do not just go without thinking about it ~ but I need {and really want} to get back to that.  There are so many excuses that seem to get in the way, most of them involving my job.  I am ready to get back to my old lifestyle, in which working out was habit for me.

Ready to make some serious changes here.
