30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 5

You would think on a Saturday I would be sleeping in till 12:00 noon. Nope, the alarm went off promptly at 7:30 am. Although I turned it off and went back to bed, the good Lord nudged me out of the bed and said, "GET MOVING". LOL

So I got up, put on my work out gear and took a long walk around the neighborhood. I walked and partially jogged for about three miles. This was good because wasn't restricted to my time.

It's 85 degrees already and it looks like its going to be a cookout type of Saturday.

Have a great weekend.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 4

Not a shabby workout morning considering it took me 15 minutes to get out of bed. The NBA final games in LA are going to kill my sleep. This morning I walked/jogged around the neighborhood. It really does pay to stretch before you get started. Your muscles are little more pliable after sleeping.

We will see what the weekend holds. Have a great weekend.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 3

So it's Day 3 and what do you think your girl did this morning at 5:30 am when the alarm went off. Hit the SNOOZE button. I was going to get up, I just needed 10 more minutes (excuse 1). If it were not for my hubby, I would have had those extra 10 minutes of sleep. But he would not allow it. :(

Today was walk/maybe sprint/jog/run day. LOL. But it has been raining everyday here and my aching knees are proof of this. So this morning me and the neighborhood rabbits had a speed walk kind of morning.

I feel better now and looking forward to the rest of day.
Enjoy yours and get moving.

30 Day Cardio Challenge

June 1st marked my 30 days of Cardio Challenge. I am the only one in the challenge so don't be alarmed. Unless you want to join me.

I will working out for 30 days in some form or fashion where my heartrate is elevated enough to work up a sweat. I have been working out since December of 2009 and lost at least 5 lbs in January. But of course life happened in between and I fell off the wagon.

As it stands my weight has not moved or increase. However I do not like where it is right now given that it is summer.

I know I need the weightlifting routines for numerous reasons, but I seem to be gain more muscle than losing fat. So that being said, I am ready to shake the pounds off in a dramatic way.

On Memorial Day, the family and I played basketball. Ok so I know the game of basketball quite well, but you probably would not want me on your dream team. Nonetheless we all had a great time playing against each other and working up a sweat. My back paid for it later.

On June 1st, I did the Dancing with the Stars DVD. I love to dance but doing it via a DVD always seems to make look more uncoordinated. In the beginning I thought the tape was lame until I started sweating like a pig after doing the Samba. I have to give it up to the Brazilian women, they have that dance on lock.

Now I will not be working out for thirty straight days. But it will be for every other day and to where my bones can tolerate it. :)

See you next time.

Music Thursday

I heard this song last Sunday while driving to church. Now it is on heavy rotation. Great testimony for this family. The couple was told that they would not be able to conceive children. Well they believed and had hope and were blessed with five children. The travel and sing on the goodness of our Lord Jesus.
Enjoy.
