. But this morning was very pumped! Did upper body workout & HIIT jumping (WOW!). Had so much energy I was bouncing of the walls (literally) OUCH! didn't see that one coming 
. Anyways, hubby asked me to watch his boring morning show w/ him. Translation: to calm down 
So, I did & It worked 
. Just kidding!. Haven't looked at the video, but I can assure you I'll try it. Anything to keep routine from being boring & at the same time, have fun. Well, kids will. Example: This evening, before hubby & I went to the movies, decided to do "dead lifts" (heard an actress on tv said it was good for the butt). Heard the word BUTT! & right away, I went & did 3 sets of 20 w/ 5lbs weight. Didn't feel a thing. Went out, came back & when I was about to sit down to talk about the movie...COULDN"T. I was in pain. They started to laugh soo hard. Making fun about how old I was & how they were going to take turns to change diapers...WHAT? I'm only 39 
. But, it was funny & so we laughed. So, anything for a good laugh & a toned body . . We like scary movies, so we went to see paranormal activity. The movie sucks! Camera moves to much ( hubby suffers from motion sickness), they talk to much, it keeps you in suspense (cause you think something will happen) but it doesn't until 3/4 of the movie & only the dragging scene & the end it's good. When it was finally over, nobody thought It was the end until the credits started rolling. I think The Ring was 100% better. hubby was so disappionted he talked about making his own scary movie . I believe him, he's done it before. Not scary though....action (for the family). He thinks he's Steven Spielberg & I don't like to bust his bubble . Anyways, had a good time & laugh talking about how he could've done it better . Besides the "daydreaming" in the car, day went like this:
) Drank water . I think I could've done better w/ intervals, speed & distance. Maybe I should buy a watch or a timer. Any Suggestions? At night, dinner & a little upper body workout ( lower was hurting ) & little cardio. Guess who joined me... hubby . Well, not exactly. Only did one set on each upper body part (not the lifts) . He tried. When we finished...Guess what? The banana split smoothie! Now you know why he did it .... Did upper body workout. Concentrated on shoulders & back. Problem: have been noticing biceps & triceps a little tighter, but that area in the back of the shoulder where it meets with the armpit looks flabby & fat. Also, biceps, when you look closer, looks wrinkled? a little like cellulite/cottage cheese? Not good . Noticing now, since tan is gone. What exercise can I do to "" this problem? Anyways, worked on upper body, abs & did 3 sets of 30 squats. Had a very good day & just finished doing the Tae bo video . schedule went like this:. Hope you can see the difference. Still working very hard on . Started using Aveno firming cream to help with the stretch marks. Even practice the " sucking" motion while walking Everything to have a flat . How crazy is that? ... Bio-oil? Never heard of it. Will google it. . He's about 1/2 age! Everyone on the line started looking at me & smiling. Not going to lie, it was embarrasing, but felt AWESOME! That made day. By the way, did NOT give number. From then on, everything was great. Finished to do list, walked more than usual & worked harder on workouts. I felt & still feel good! Sometimes, that's all you need . This is what I did:newmami wrote:... He said outloud: "Well, I hope you're not on a diet cause you definitely don't need it. You look fine just like that. Can I have your number?"
.. Anyways, feel excited & nervous. . I think I need to start counting calories & subtract 100 or 200. What do you guys think? As for the workout program, I'm planning to do at leat 30 minutes cardio in the morning. I usually do upper body, abs or lower body & a little cardio. I'm also walking 1/2 or 1 mile after lunch each day. Will make it 1 mile, as long as the weather allows it. Anything to get to goal: NEW BODY BY DECEMBER! But in the meantime, I'm learning how to maintain the weight...at least that's what it looks like, cause that scale isn't moving. But I'm OK with it. crazy day went like this:. I want to look good, but most importantly, feel good. . Now, I need to concentrate more on getting flat & shrinking waist (if possible). Any suggestions? Also, started to do workouts before breakfast. Should I eat or drink anything small before workout? Can't eat or drink a lot before w/o. Makes me puke. Well, have to go. Will post tonight. Hope you like "transformation" pictures . Your waist IS getting smaller and your tummy looks tighter. You are going a great job, be proud of yourself! You look mahhhvalous!
