Happy Monday to you all!

I had some words of wisdom.

1. don't take a 3 hour nap during the day

2. don't take nyquil to make yourself sleep

because

1. you still won't sleep

2. you will feel like you were drugged for most of the next day

moving on...

***************************************************

Today I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a KU Fit Pass.

What is that you ask?

Well it' a pass that allows you to take all the workout classes you can dream of or what is scheduled for an entire semester. I knew there would be no other way after work I would workout unless I did a class that would motivate me to get a good butt whoopin. Plus, I'm so competitive that in a class with tons of girls I won't wanna be the one slacka lackin.

My first class I attended was BodyPump.
 [ The original barbell class that strengthens your entire body. This 60-minute workout challenges all your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises like squats, presses, lifts and curls. ]

That is no joke. Killer. I had to yell at myself a few hundred times to step it UP.

I could barely walk out of the gym. haha. My legs were going to give at any second in time and on the way home I tried to call my mom but could barely hold the phone up to my ear they were so shakey.

Needless to say, I think it worked me and felt so good to get back in the workout mode.

No excuses from now on!

I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is trying to get toned and needing a good hard workout to get those muscles toned up and beach ready!

 

Back in the Groove

It's back!

It's back!

Let's all scream and shout,

"It's back!"

My urge to dedicate myself to working out, that is.

Not my sanity.

When I stop working out my body gets so sluuuuugggish.

Ya, like a turtle flat on it's back. Looking exactly like that.

Only difference is I have a couch, not a shell.

Anyway.

When I don't work out it makes me not want to workout even more.

I am tired. I am exhausted. I just want to relax.

I've been eating quite well, but it just isn't the same without the workout included.

Instead of thinking of how many things I need to get

done and that I don't have time for a workout, I have been realizing

I need my workout to actually get things done.

Wow, that sentence sucked.

My body just feels better.

I think it is patting me on the back thanking me for the support.

So are a lot of the people around me I'm sure.

I've been doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred along with some

other interval and cardio workouts.

There is a short clip (actually a lot-but I use the interval one)

 on toneitup.com you should check out that is only 7 min. long but it works ya out.

I usually do this after a workout just to push myself a little harder or just as an

added little something something in the day.

This could be bad, I have no idear? But it sure feels gooooooood.

And now I feel like a cheetah....ready to POUNCE.

Or something like that.

So watch out!

If you feeling like I have been feeling: sluggish, dead, and exhausted then

maybe a little workout will do that trick!

It doesn't have to be 100 million hours long, just get that blood a flowin'!

Take the dog on a walk, play a little tennis,

playing some basketball, anything to keep you moving and healthy!

Oh and it's going to be in the 70s if you live in Kansas today.

78 tomorrow. I think I am going to lay on my deck and

pretend like it's spring break and soak up the rays with a drink

in hand.

Who's with me?

Happy Hump Day!
