Week 5

So here we are in St. George...we missed a day or two, but then we doubled up our workout, doing the one we missed in the AM and then the one for the day in the PM. It worked well, except now we are both sick. Lame. My mom is also sick, so I hope our immune systems can fight it so we can keep going with the program. My grandpa came up with me this morning and did the warm up with me. He's my favorite. I LOVE being here with family. My dad is home from Africa, and Carter is LOVING having 2 grandpa's. Well that's about all for now I guess.....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Bloggy Blog

So we skipped Saturday (first time we've missed a day...) and sat around and watched the Big Bang Theory (HILARIOUS!!!!!!) Then Sunday was our day off. Today we started the second block of 4 weeks with all new videos. I did the fit test and then only made it through half of the second video...it is still playing right now as I type. I'm going to die.....Also, I'm tired of blogging every day, so.....I'll blog on Sunday's and tell you all about the week.........We leave Thursday for Christmas, and my Dad fly's into Vegas on Saturday. I'm SUPER excited to see my parents and Shena. YAY! I'm going to miss Krista and Mya and their families this year though! :'( So next time you hear from me it'll be from (hopefully) SUNNY ST. GEORGE!!!!!!!!

Day 27 and 28

Oops, I forgot to post yesterday. I exercised though. I did today too. I haven't missed a day yet. I'm pretty proud of myself. Sorry about no pictures of the boys. Hopefully today while Cody is home he will up load them on to the computer......I'm technologically challenged.

So while I was looking for a poem for my VT gift to my sisters I found this one. I loved it. So I'll share it on here too. Enjoy.

It's Christmas time at our house and we are putting up the tree,
I wish I could find one simple way to remember Christ's gift to me.

Some little sign or symbol to show friends stopping by,

The little babe that was born one day, but He really came to die.

Some symbol of His nail pierced hands, the blood He shed for you and me,

What if I hung a simple nail on my shining Christmas tree?

A crimson bow tied round the nail as His blood flowed down so free,

To save each person from their sin and redeem us for all eternity.

I know it was His love for us that held him to that tree,

But when I see this simple nail I know he died for me.

Day 26

Well I did the whole video today without stopping. Maybe a little rest here and there, but I kept up really well.

My kids are great(sorry for abrupt change of subject). Yesterday I took Carter to Wal-Mart to get a present for Jesus. I had him pick out a toy that he would like (only $10) and we put it in the box for toys for tots. He was really excited to pick out a toy, and REALLY upset when he learned that he was going to give it away. I was so proud of him for putting it in the box anyway. I'm hoping that through this he will learn that Christmas is about GIVING, and not getting. I know it will take years and years because honestly I don't think I'm all the way there yet. So I guess only time will tell. :)

Day 25

Warning: There is profanity in this one.

I don't mean to toot my own horn....BUT HELLO SIZE 4 PANTS!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!!! So sad though, all I have are my way too big size 10, and my ONE pair of green size 4 slacks........Oh and a pair of maternity....YUCK! I need new clothes. I have to wait until at least May to get them. I also lost another pound, but I think it came out of my bra. Damn. Yes you heard right. Profanity. Because I'm super pissed that my boobs are getting smaller. and LONGER. Damn damn damn. Victoria Secrets, PLEASE make a post nursing bra that holds up all loose skin that accumulates after nursing.

Recovery week is going to be great. The video makes me sweat like no other, but it's not as hard pure cardio. It reminds me a little bit of my ballet days with different ballet moves done a little differently. It was way fun. Cody hated it. ha ha!

Day 24

Why is it that the last work out of the week my body hurts through the whole thing.....Honestly I would like to think that it would feel BETTER because I've been strengthening it all week....It may have been the heels I was wearing yesterday though. Hot Date = Hot Shoes.....yep.

I finally lost a pound. It only took me 4 weeks, but I DID IT! YEAH GO ME! ha ha!

Day 23

Pure Cardio....and Cardio abs......ouch........

You know, I am actually really enjoying this now. I know the moves, and I can keep up relatively well (relative to when I started), and I think that Shaun T. is HILARIOUS "That $#!+ is BA-NA-NAS yo" ha ha!

On a side note, Toby is officially cut off. He kept biting me and almost ripped my you know what off. That was the end. Any one know how long it is supposed to take for your milk to dry up? I quit on Monday and my cup still runneth over if you know what I mean.

Any way.....Thanks for keeping up with me (and Cody too I guess...) you guys are the best!

Day 22

Thursdays ROCK for 2 reasons: Cardio Recovery, and BONES!!!!! YEAH!

I love a good stretch, and I love a good Agent Booth........Whoop Whoop!

Day 21

Dear Insanity,

I know that I'm supposed to WANT to get ripped, and I can tell that I'm getting more muscle, but could you PLEASE make me start losing some of the pounds. PLEASE?!?! I'm starting to get REALLY frustrated.......Oh, and could you please explain why that one girls boobs never bounce when she jumps, because mine are all over the place and I've been wearing 2 sports bras. I want to know her secret.

Thanks,

Cherry
