Wow! Where have I been???
Cardio Burn
Vol 3
Cardio Overdrive
Super Sculpting
Maximum Cardio Burn
and today... Total body Shaping Mix.. ALL DONE!
I didn't realize I hadn't been checking in! My schedule is all off though with DH home, the new puppy, and shopping for Christmas instead of checking in. I think I am all done with Christmas shopping though!!
So I did Vol 1, 2 and 3 in a row. I swear I know all of those by heart!! I loved them! I am using 8-10 as my heavy weights, 5-8 as my medium, and 3-5 as my light weights. Today with Total body shaping mix, I used 10's on the step ups and my legs were feeling it today going up the stairs at church!! Wow. I used to hold 20's for that. I have a lot to work up to!!
I am really feeling like I am gonna lose weight on this rotation, but we'll see. its like my heart is all "yay! this is gonna work! It's the Firm!!" but my hormones and body are all "yeah. I'll show you!! We are gonna gain or just stay the same!" but at least I know I will gain strength. that is really the goal I am trying to keep in my head.
I am liking the Firm cardio's I have chosen so far. not too difficult. I am avoiding the maximum cardio one for now, I remember that was a butt kicker!!
My goal right now is to get through with good form, increase my weights (and strength), and increase my cardio performance. Not have to take any breaks. If I lose any weight, I will just be happy.
We ended up with 18" of snow!! Taking out the new puppy at 4am when I wake up was cold and funny... funny because he was all of maybe 7" to his shoulder trying to go through 18" of snow. we had to knock down trails for him and he would just follow them. he's doubled in size since we got him just 2 1/2 weeks ago!! he's still a great puppy. Doesn't nip that much, but man he loves to chew on LB. We call him "shark" because he can move so fast to get her sleeve we don't even see him do it!!
he loves his water bowl, and we can't give him much water because he's always giving himself a bath in it. he's always wet somewhere!! I gave him probably 5 bowls of water yesterday, and all of them were soaked into his body or dumped. he's a water dog!
I have been working on getting christmas presents bought (last year I waited and was embarrassed when I realized, after everyone was opening their gifts, that I had given everyone SOCKS!! What the what? how did I not notice that???). I am pretty proud of the fact that it went pretty easy and for pretty cheap!!
I found some good deals.
I also have spent the last few days going through the house and getting rid of stuff. stuff that LB wants to keep but doesn't touch.. it goes out to the shed. Then I will go through it and decide what to bring to the consignment store, and what will go to goodwill. the house looks much nicer!!
I hate taking pictures at Christmas and worrying about the clutter in the background. this year I am being more proactive on a lot of things
we got our christmas card done, I hated it, so now we are getting it re-done, we went to zoo lights a few nights ago and it snowed about an inch in less than an hour! LB was in the wagon with a blanket, and you could barely see the blanket! It was fun. We had crazy wind yesterday that made all the snow hard and crusty, so now the puppy walks on top of the snow, and occasionally breaks through and is in snow up to his chin or more....
My workouts have been good. I am really liking this rotation. I am struggling to get the ttapp form, but sometimes there's exercises that I can do it. lots of lunges and legs ! I forgot how leg and lunge heavy firm is.
I hope you guys are doing good! Looks like we've all fallen off the checkin wagon this week!!!
