DANCE IT OUT

Its absolutely that time of the month again where most people scramble to go on a diet in hopes of loosing a little bit of weight before Summer hits head on! I am embarrass to say that I go on a frantic exercise binge, and crazy diet. Its not like a really need to loose a lot of weight but I need to tighten and flatten some problem areas. I am not so fond of exercise but, there is one thing I have yet to try. A few of my friends have tried this one out and says its a great workout. I guess you know what I'm talking about,zumba zumba. This exercise regiment is effective as what I have been hearing and most of all it make exercise and loosing weight fun. A cousin of mine is actually a Zumba instructor and she does look great. since zumba is about dancing maybe i will be able to stick to it. I will have to try it out. I need to borrow a Wii disc from someone who has it, before actually buying it.

WALK THE WALK

Its Monday again tomorrow. The weekend is over. At least we got a visit from Ralph's brother Angelo. My girls were so excited to see their Aunt Debbie . She loves and dotes on the kids, spoils them rotten too. The kids and I also had a little adventure where we walked to the nearest Walmart in our area. It was about a 5-10 minute walk from our house. We had a great time talking and laughing. They didn't not mind the walk and surprisingly neither did my lover extremities. Walking and I have not been great friends for a few years. Just as of late I have been walking more and more going to another store which is about 5 minute walk from our house. I am going to keep walking to those stores until it gets to cold. Let me tell you this, walking did really good for my bum, just ask my grinning husband,lol

WITH MY WALKING BUDDY

Went out for a walk with my 3 1/2 yrs old as my walking buddy. Just around our development. It wasn't as warm as Friday but it is still an improvement from our previous weather. Even though it was around the upper 50's we still bundled up. Kaitlyn wore her helmet as she was using her bike while I walk behind her. I have decided that I need to do something about my weight. I am not fat or overweight but I certainly am out of shape. The last time I went to the mall, I tried on one piece bathing suit. I look horrendous, In short I looked like a blob of jelly in yellow. It wasn't fun to look at myself like that.

I figured that walking was the simplest way I could burn calories. Exercise and I don't mix well together. Taking it slow is my goal right now. Diet is not on my list but I will try and cut down on my rice and minimize eating junk foods. Walking will be my new source of exercise and gradually I will do some workout and maybe do the Tae Bo in a few days. My goal is to loose at least 10 lbs. so I can be at my ideal weight at 112. I never thought that loosing weight and being healthy could be so hard. I had to make a conscious choice to do it and will probably need constant reminder so I stay on top of things and get motivated.

LETS DO THIS

Lets talk about me trying to loose some weight. I have said in previous posts that I really need to go on a diet and do some exercise, like running. Bearing that in mind I also said that I'll have to wait until spring to start jogging and running in our development. Ralph as a matter of fact reminded me that I didn't have to wait since we already have a couple of fitness equipment that I can use. He is absolutely right, I had forgotten his exercise equipment in the basement and the stationery bike in my MIL's room. The downside to exercising in the basement is its dreary, damp,cluttered and cold down there. I need something to look at or listen to while I'm working out. I really have no more excuses to make, If I want to look great for the summer and for my vacation I have better get my butt on the bike and that exercise thingy in the basement.

GIRL SCOUT DUTY

Yesterday, MIL and I had to take Kayla and Kelly to Girl Scout since Ralph the usual driver for the girls was at work. I dread taking her to GS with Kaitlyn in the car, all the princess bruiser wants to do is tag along with her sister. She had such a bad temper tantrum in the car when I walked both girls inside the school, she was still crying when I came back. We took a ride to calm her down but it didn't help much it only made it worse, she didn't want to leave her big sister.

To avoid another episode of her having a fit while I picked up both the girls I decided to bring her with me. We got locked out of the school, it was a good thing that there was two other moms trying to get it. Thinking that my husband was inside they called his phone until they realized that I was Ralph's wife,lol. We ended up talking about exercising and loosing weight. On mom was even telling us about the biggest loser competition she was having with her friends. I found out that Kathy on of the girls mom loved rice as much as I did. We talked about different exercises, diets and finally all agreed that we would all love a quick trim to quickly shed the pounds.Wouldn't it be just fine and dandy if we could all loose the weight with one click of the hand? I got to tell them about my near fainting spell when I tried the Wii Active Sport. We all ended up talking about the aches and pain that is associated with exercising. What can I say " NO PAIN, NO GAIN". So, I'm going to have to suck it up and face the music with lots of Tylenol, lol.
