This and that

Posted in Encouragement

Spring is in the air... kind of. The robins have been showing up on our trees, so that means spring is near! I am looking forward to getting out and hiking! For my hubby and mine 15th wedding anniversary we bought an 8 passenger 4WD SUV. I can now go to even more places in the mountains! I'm totally siked!

Since January I have lost 16 pounds and almost 20 inches. I've been working hard! I'm thinking about adding my weekly workouts here on my blog. What do you think? If your interested and  are tough enough to join me in my workouts you are more than welcome to. I've been getting great results! My workouts are not easy and they make you sweat buckets! They will kick your behind as they certainly kick mine and they'll boost your metabolism! As a result my behind is quickly getting smaller and I am getting stronger!  I have energy and I feel great!

I will have to come back here and brag on my daughter for a bit. She has been busy sewing quilts, pillows, dresses, skirts. She is becoming quite the little seamstress. I am so proud of her. I never really liked sewing, but it tickles me that she does. My mother has been teaching her. My mom is the best sewing teacher! She taught me, but I'd rather play in mud and catch lizzards and snakes than sew.

I'm also shopping for our homeschool learning stuff. I don't like using "curriculum" as I don't use any set curriculum. I use a bit of that and this.

Yes! Share the weight loss/fitness/exercise stuff. I'm doing my final testing for my 10 week extreme fitness class tonight. Then I'm on my own once again. I haven't lost much weight and we'll see how my measurements do tonight. But I can tell I'm more fit and have more endurance, if nothing else.

I'm going to start going back to the Y, so I'm in if you want to be an accountability partner with me. :-) I don't have my schedule set in stone yet but I'm hoping to do the Y 3 days a week and maybe do home work the other days, either 2 or 3 other days a week. I don't want to lose whatever improvements I've made over the last 3 months. Then again, the 6 days a week routine has gotten VERY OLD. So I may make my Y days extra long (cardio and resistance same day) so I can have more days 'off'. Obviously I still have some planning to do. Sorry this comment is so long, I'm thinking through my fingers again. :-)

Anyway, if you want to partner up on this, let me know!

Sure Jodi!
Way to go!
I don't belong to the Y or anything... yet! Hopefully sometime.

I think it would be great just to encourage and challenge each other!
