Cardio Intervals...another new DVD from volume 2. Great moves, and all under 40 mintues...another nice addition.

took a long weekend off...seems to have rid myself of dual eye infections...and my voice is back with just a sore throat remaining...so, nailed Chest & Back yesterday and just swept up the ab work. Will try to do Plyo tonight..or perhaps another new one...weight is solid and consistently over 190lbs...often over 195lbs...

the original Yoga X...like visiting with an old friend...if I had any of those....

fortuitous...?

call it what you may...but my least favorite, and least dependable private adult student again cancelled, this time due to a suppossed car accident. I hardly believe a word out of her mouth at this point...I'm sure that makes me an evil soul.
Anyway, gave me enough time to squeeze in the ab work...no excuses. And take chances where they appear.

Legs and Back are in the books...but again, and please call me out every time I do something I said I wouldn't, or don't do something I said I would...I will leave abs for tomorrow. I am getting lightheaded doing the final pull-ups, and I haven't had time to eat anything all day. So, instead of risking anything healthwise during my next four hours of private lessons, I will call it quits for now, eat a quick PB sandwich or two...and get back on top of things tomorrow. Seriously, call me out on bullshit if you feel I ever spread it...

sick as a dog...cannot swallow...voice somewhere around 50%...and CRUSHING Legs & Back....I started a new morning lesson today, so up early teaching, squeezed in about two-thirds of this workout now, will squeeze in the final one-third after work, and do abs during my dinner break in order to finish up before my older student comes from 8-10pm, and I have another new student from 10:30pm-12:30am...and up again teaching in the morning...so, dedication means just that, dedicated, and sacrifice...in my case, sacrificing any time to sit down today...literally working or working out from 9:30am-12:30am the next morning, 15 straight hours...that is how you get things done.

Kenpo Cardio PLUS...I am sick and probably should not be working out...but I realize how much disgust I have for those in the world who simply make excuses...

abs

apologies, I took yesterday off, was sick and lost my voice...still taught classes...don't even ask how I do this anymore...I could teach an hour class hungover, taking breaks to vomit, with diarrhea, without a voice, and passing out every 15 minutes and my students would be none the wiser. I may seriously have become one of the teaching robots Korea is manufacturing to replace us in the next few years...I always knew I was ahead of my time.
Today was Just Arms...using the black band and 6 kg. dumbbells, I need to get some heavier 'shrapnel' for triceps. 8kg or 10kg would be the next logical step...
Will do abs later today...

PlyoX...lead by example...

The Walk of Shame...

I must bare the shame of not working out on my own.  April has been fabulous doing the tapes, walking everyday, chasing after kids, cooking, cleaning, etc.  She hasn't commented on how much weight she's lost, but I can see for myself that she is slimming.  I have no more excuses to not get serious.  I have been cigarette free for nearly three weeks and I need to get going on my total transformation of mind...and body.
Will everyone forgive me and not give up on me yet?  I need all the help I can get.  In 6 to 8 weeks I hope to be able to say..."Don't hate me because I am beautiful...just hate me."  LOL

WAIT!

You got me....I may have only posted on the fitness blog once but how many times have a sent you e-mails about my workouts, my walking around capital lake, my GO TO IT jokes, talking about how your fitness guy kicked my ass more in ten minutes, my pants I bought a month or so ago fitting better, my idea about waiting to buy my shoes until I reach a goal and make sure I DO deserve them and not just get them to be cute! I have been eating better, I don't drink soda anymore, only plain water which somehow now I think is yummy! I have been good and have been posting on the family blog better like I promissed....no comments from you.....Randy and I are taking everyone to NIsqually on Saturday as it is my last day on leave to go on a little nature walk.....so I might not post on here all the changes I have made, but please give me some credit to the conversations we have had through other media....I am not mad or offended by your comments....I just now have a little more drive to SHOW you, just don't hold me to posting every day about it.....I thought I was doing pretty good making time for the workouts, walks with three children, reading, homework, and working on my new side business on top of grocery shopping and cooking for 7 people, cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands, mom duties, doctor runs, new house duties (pick out lights, rock, door, windows, paint, sinks, fixtures, light again etc etc) all while managing two crazy children and a baby ties to my hip. I might not know what it is like to be you and live like you, but you also don't know how to be like me or any other mom out there, we are judged too you know! ANYWAYS I love you TONS and I will show you! Have no fear I will make you eat your words! :)

Long enough...

I have gone incommunicado long enough...I purposely waited to see what you two created on your own...I have my answer...time to go it as only I know how.

April...proud....

April..you are nearly desperate for us to be proud of you...and you posted once or twice about your progress, BUT...that is NOT enough to be proud about. You are expecting me (and perhaps others) to be proud of you for starting, and posting once. But I refuse. I will NOT be proud of you until you show me that you do this daily, that you do this consistently, and that you post about it steadily. I just will not. As I have said to you privately, and as I tried desperately to explain to mom once privately while she was in Korea, but now I am stating 'somewhat publicly', I have been held to the UTMOST standards for almost 7 years, almost 7 years of daily microscopic observation, if I walk outside, I am judged CONSTANTLY, I am held to IMPOSSIBLE standards, and am stared at, spit upon, and scorned ENDLESSLY. So if you think I will be impressed by doing a couple workouts and posting it once...I WILL NOT! You girls can not imagine what I endure here, and if you truely want me to be proud, you have a LONG ways to go. Sounds unfair? TOUGH! Sounds rude? BULLSHIT! Sounds like I am becoming a dick? GET USED TO IT! I have lived such a hard experience for so long, if you want pride, earn it.

...

I do not wish this life upon the worst of my enemies...and yet, you should all be envious...
