A little of everything..

I have been trying to get myself to blog more but I just can't seem to get it together lately. I'm tired and sore just about everyday, so I don't do too much in the afternoon but be lazy!

I have a schedule every morning that I try to do and this is the first week that I actually did it. After I drop the girls off at 8:30, I head to the gym. I do 20-30 minutes on the treadmill, do the fitzone circuit, do another few minutes on the tread or the elliptical...(that machine KICKS MY BUTT!!!) When I get home I don't even take my coat off, I get some dog doodoo bags and the leash and Buster goes crazy! He knows already that when I come home it's time to go for a walk. We walk around the block but today we went 2 blocks. He loves it! I did that schedule all week except tomorrow because I don't work out because I go to weigh -in and I don't want to get all sweaty and the kids have a half day. I'll do Wii fit at home after we get back.

When I went to the gym this morning, I got measured again. I have lost a total of 10 inches! I was so surprised. The biggest loss was in my hips! I was really excited about that.

It is so exciting to see several of my friends getting in shape! They all are doing a fantastic job and I am so proud of them!! It is also exciting to have everyone encouraging each other and being a great support system. My biggest inspiration comes from Karina. She is doing awesome and I am extremely proud of her! She encouraged me to do a 1/2 marathon in April with her and I am bound and determined to do it with her. Thanks K for your prompting and encouragement.

My other friend, Jennifer, is also doing an amazing job and I am really, really, proud of her. She is focused and is a exercise machine, doing Richard Simmons too!
She is also a good motivator and encourager. Keep up the great work Jennifer, your doing awesome!

Well, I guess that's it for now. Have a great weekend and stay warm:)
