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.

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! :)
