Must. Work. Out.

Well folks we're doing it. We're on our way to becoming healthy. We went to a few health food stores today, and even as I type this Boz is out grocery shopping. We came up with our list and vowed to get only what is on that list.

We slept in till around 11:00 (SO NICE!), made breakfast then ran out to a few stores. Oh yeah, and we stopped by Illiana so Boz could pick up his soccer stuff (tryouts start Monday) and while there he picked up a curl bar and 10lb dumbbells for me to use (borrow). YAY!!! When we got back I took a nap as I wasn't feeling so hot (still aren't) and while I did that Dave worked out. When I woke up he took off for the store. I'm trying to get by bum down to the basement to work out but I'm not feeling it right now. I don't know if its b/c I'm still groggy from waking up or just feeling blah. Either way I NEED to get down there.

Workin out...

So the girls and I did a workout dvd this afternoon.. it was pretty funny. We all kept ramming into each other in our tiny house! There were a few times that the girls were both laid out on the floor (fell all the way to the tummy) and then Kylie and I were swinging our arms and Reygann kept running through yelling 'lock me up, lock me up!' I really wish you could have been a fly on my wall, it was quite a sight! That and the fact that I have NO coordination and that I could hardly get the walking kick foot work right (plus Kylie kept walking to me instead of away from me!) Hopefully next time will be smoother.. that or I'll do it when they nap!

ps. the cup I've been drinking out of is 1 ltr, so it looks like I am doing pretty good there.. I have had at least 1.5 so far and I just filled up again for dinner.

New Motto...

I think Becca's motto should be the title of our blog.. it makes all of this more fun! Granted that was just the motto for the water.. but it is still funny!

drink water. go pee. (just in case you didn't remember what it was...)

jody's Goals for the Week

In regards to working out, my week will hopefully play out like this:

Monday - Weights - concentrating on my upper body (will touch on lower body). Abs Training.
Tuesday - Cardio - Run 1/2 - 1 mile. Abs Training
Wednesday - Weights - concentrating on my lower body (will touch on upper body). Abs Training.
Thursday - Tae Bo Boot Camp DVD
Friday - Weights - will do a complete upper and lower workout. Abs training
Saturday - Cardio (Run 1 mile). Weights - complete body. Abs Training
Sunday - REST!!! (Abs of course!)

I will write out what exercises I will be doing once I go home and figure it out. Its VERY helpful to write out exactly what workout you'll be doing before you start. You'll save a lot of time if you do. When I don't, I find myself killing precious time trying to figure out what I want to do next.

As for Nutrition:
My goal is to 1) eat breakfast every day. I want to pick up some instant oatmeal and have that.
2) I've already cut out my mid-morning snack, I hope to keep that up this week as well. 3) Keep drinking 2 liter of water.

Good Luck Everyone! I know we can do this!! If you ever feel like eating something bad for you, remember this little mantra.... NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS!

Have a Super-Fantastic Weekend Ladies!

'becca's goals for the week

alright, i'll start us out. the week is almost over, but these are the goals for next week:

- 28 minutes of cardio 5 days (i know 28 sounds like a silly number, but i add 2 minutes every week so sometimes the numbers are goofy).

- 56 minutes of cario 1 day (i double my cardio the last day of the week).

- core exercises 6 days - i want to add in some push-ups this weeks. it's not in the program, but i've always wanted to be able to do them, and i'm guessing the best way to it is to try. so i'm aiming to do some 6 days this week as part of my core exercises.

- strength training 3 days - this is my last week before adding in a couple of new strength training exercises.

- stop snacking from the vending machine at work. i've gotten back into my bag o' salt kick mid-morning every day.

let's hear everyone else's goals for next week! if you don't think about it now, you won't set any.
