Last time doing Workout 9 of Body Revolution.

I cannot believe I'm finishing up week 10 of Body Revolution, Round 2! I have workout 10 tomorrow and Cardio 3 on Saturday and then I'm on to the last two workouts of the whole program. Wow! Before, I could never stick with anything. Now I have (almost) done Body Revolution TWICE! It is such an awesome feeling to stick with something.

Since Body Revolution Round 2 is coming to an end, it's time to decide which program I will do next. I have ordered ChaLEAN Extreme and TurboFire. ChaLEAN Extreme is already here, TurboFire should arrive next week. I also ordered some snazzy adjustable dumbbells to use with ChaLEAN Extreme. But which program should I start first? I know some people are doing a hybrid of both programs. Should I do that? Or one at a time? Sigh. I'm terrible with decisions. Any input from my readers would be amazing! Please!

Today we went to lunch at Whole Foods and then went to the aquarium. We had a great time and burned some calories walking around. Today was Valentine's Day and I'm happy to report that the only chocolate I had today was 2 small pieces of Trader Joe's dark chocolate honey mints. Yum! I'm impressed with myself.

I did Cardio 3 and Workout 9 when we got home. Yesterday was Wednesday and I'm usually so busy with church on that day that workouts don't always happen. So I doubled up today.

Tomorrow should be a nice day at home with the kids. I am planning on taking them on a walk in the morning and then doing some cleaning in the afternoon.

I hope you all had an amazing Valentine's Day!

Check out some of my pics from the aquarium!

Restarting

Well. I am here again. Here as in blogging again. But here as in, overweight and unhappy, again. How many times will I go up and down with my weight? I was in the best shape of my life a year and a half ago. But so many things have stressed me out lately and I have had health issues. I haven't been as motivated to eat right or exercise. I haven't been consistent with any one thing. I go through this awful cycle of wanting to get in shape and having these ideas of what diet or exercise program I'm going to do, then do it for like a half a week and then get bored with it or totally hate it and so then I quit. Then the next month, I choose a different diet and a different workout program. And I quit. I can't get back into going to the gym. It's too expensive right now and I don't have the time to go with homeschooling and working from home. I also don't have the motivation to go unless I know a friend is going too. I always think back to when I first started th...

Two Months of Working Out Regularly

So we rejoined the YMCA and I started going at the beginning of March. I am happy to say that I have gone at least 4 times a week since we have joined. Here we are at the end of April so that makes two months of actually going to the gym and working out on a regular basis! I have had so much fun. I have taken so many classes like Zumba, KettleworX, Step (which is my FAVORITE!), and Piloxing and many more. I've tried almost every class! I finished the YChange program and signed up for a second round. The disappointing part. I've only lost 2 pounds. It's a little discouraging but I know what the problem is. Although my exercise has been great, my eating has sucked. Really bad. And I don't drink enough water. So I absolutely know that's where I need to make changes. It's so hard. Exercising is easy. Food is hard. It's hard to break the bad habits. Night time is when I really struggle. After the kids have been bugging me all day long it's hard to care about ...

Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Review

A few years back, I was using the Polar FT4 heart rate monitor and loved it! I loved it all the way up until the battery died. Then you have to send it into the manufacturer for them to replace the battery. That is such a hassle. So I tried to pry the back open by myself without the tool, which ended up basically just ruining the device. Then I started using the body media fit, which I also loved, but didn't love the monthly subscription fee. A few months ago I bought the Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor  (affiliate link). You can change the battery to this one by yourself. I have to say that this is by far my favorite way to track my calories and heart rate during a workout. The body media I felt did a great job tracking the calories I burned, but it didn't tell me my heart rate. I'm a very visual person, so I absolutely love seeing all the data that the Polar FT7 gives me. It's important to me to see what my heart rate is during a workout to make sure it is not too high. ...
