Weekly Workout Calendar
I've really been struggling lately with trying to psych myself up to workout &/or run. I haven't ran in 2 weeks- just haven't felt like it.
I recently learned about Jillian Michaels' new workout DVD set (Body Revolution). It looks AMAZING & I WANT IT!!! Was all set to order it (even sold my Insanity set!) when I realized that it was stupid to spend the money right now, with my husband being laid off & all. So, instead, I bought him his Birthday present since I usually suck at his presents & he does do awesome with mine. I still hope to be able to buy it soon.
For the time being, I figured I would try to come up w/ my own workout schedule that revolves around the JM DVDs that I already own. The only one missing is the 30 Day Shred, but I pretty much detest that DVD so I didn't include it. Maybe I will if I stick to this & need some livening up.
Sunday:
Short run
Extreme Shed & Shred
Monday:
Short run/elliptical(?)
Pilates class
Tuesday:
Spin class?
Scheduled run
Zumba class
Wednesday:
6 Week Six Pack
Thursday:
Spin class?
Scheduled run
Shred It w/Weights
Friday:
Yoga Meltdown
Saturday:
Scheduled long run
Yoga/Pilates(?)
As much as I would LOVE to be able to stick to this, I know my track record & IT STINKS. I'll be impressed if I keep this up for a week!
The session for spin class hasn't started yet, either. I signed up for both days (at 6:15am! We'll see if I can get out of bed!) just in case I miss one or the other. And, of course, I won't be able to make either if my husband goes back to work.

2 days after my kettlebell workout...
And I still sit, stand & walk with pain. Oy! The millions of squats in the workout killed my thighs & butt!

Kettlebell 2.1.2012
Hurray for January being behind us! Happy February!
I've had to set up a standing appointment for Tuesday nights so I don't think I'll be going back toy cross training class. I'm thinking I'll sign up for the kettlebell class that will be starting in a few weeks. I went to my #1 happy place, Target (#2 is Whole Foods), today & bought a kettlebell. 10lbs because I'm not sure I can handle the 15lb one yet. The selection kinda sucked (would have liked a 12lb one) but I had a gift card so I just bought a Bob Harper one. Which was cool because it came with a DVD. If bedtime ever gets here, I want to pop it in & try out my new weight. :)

8 week Biggest Loser-type challenge fundraiser!
Do a search for it on Facebook: TNT Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge
I'm super excited to get it started! There's still a few weeks to join the group. Joining, however, does not automatically sign you up for the challenge, so you can join the group & check it out before committing to it. :)
It's $25 to join, with $15 going to my fundraising & $10 going into the pot. The person with the highest percentage of weight loss after the 8 weeks ins the pot. The more people to join, the bigger the pot! :)

Miserable. Horrendous. Ridiculous. 1.25.2012
That was my lame attempt at running 3 miles after not running in almost a week & a half. Sigh.
At least the chubby squirrels were cute! :)

Well, it happened tonight...
My husband is gone for a Tool concert, so I had to take the kids to the gym with me so I could go to my cross training class. It's a giant pain to get them ready to go & I would have just stayed home but I missed last week so I forced myself to go.
I was proud of myself because I got us all ready & out the door on time (this NEVER happens!). At the childcare area, M immediately started crying. Ugh. I just hoped that he would stop after a few minutes.
Get to class & get started. I think we warmed up for about 10 minutes (which had me gasping!) & then we grabbed our weights & step blocks. About 10 minutes in, I looked up to see a gym worker walk in. Straight towards me. I really hoped she was going to someone else but, nope. :/ She told me that BOTH boys were now crying. Ugh. So I put all my equipment away & got the kids. R had grabbed the backpack off the hook & was sniffing. Poor guy. I just think he had a long day with speech & preschool. And M? Well, he's a total Mama's boy!
To make up for it, I opened up my brand new Brooke Burke DVD (just got it today!). I have to say, Wow! Not a crazy intense workout- I mean, I have tons of Jillian Michaels DVDs & even Insanity. But I think this had the best ab workout on it that I've done in a long time.
And in running news... *snort* I haven't ran since last Sunday. Not the Sunday that was 2 days ago- the Sunday before that. Ugh. Hope to get a run in tomorrow.
