Happy Birthday 2 Me :)



Three scores and eight years ago a miracle was born. That miracle was me. Ok enough of that. My family is known for parties. You name it we used to have a party for everything and they never ended. The above picture is one of my most memorable birthday parties. That was my 5th birthday party and it seems like everyone was there. Those were happy times. As are everyday I live this life I was left here to live. Thank you God for seeing and guiding me through another year.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 21

It's been 2 days since I worked out last and my knees reminded me of that this morning. They did not want to cooperate with my warm-up squats. No matter, I fixed that problem w/the 1k jog this morning. LOL Last night was strength training because everywhere strength training is the way to go to burn the fat we have in our bodies. When we are in motion and more so when we are at rest. So I did shoulders, triceps and biceps routines. If I don't do anything else today, I treated my body right. :)

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 20

Instead of running solo today, we took the kids to the park to shoot hoops and run drills. Well hubby ran basketball drills with the kids, while I ran/walked on the park trail. It was exceptionally cool this morning at 9am, but right around 11am you knew it was going to be a scorcher. So glad to get that out of the way today. As much as I would have rather stayed in bed this morning, the fresh did me good. Now to conquer the rest of the day. :) Three days till my born day.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 19

One thing is for sure, exercise is a great stress reliever. I love that I can run my the stress of the day out of mind or begin my day with a clear mind after a run. I have been doing a few ab routines on runnersworld.com. Try these, but you will not be able to get past the ABC planks. Killer. Six-pack here I come. :)

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 18

It's always hard to get back into a routine after a long weekend. I woke up late yesterday and did not workout. Got off to a late start today but made it out anyway just cut the jogging short. I am still sore from the basketball drills we ran on Monday morning. Trust me I have a stroke, but you won't find me in the WNBA no time soon. :)

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 17

I love Saturday because it gives me the opportunity to walk/run for longer period of time. Today I was a 4 mile kind of day. I need to start working on the muffin top area. I started a new routine after my workout from runnersworld.com

I have been noticing that my workout clothes are loose. Could this be a sign? I will not get on the scale to see, because the number is never right.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 16

Tuesday
Simply more of the same today. I performed by warmups from runners world and jogged a little bit longer. I think I need to get new running shoes for my birthday (7/13) I do want to encourage everyone to get your body moving doing something. Start with walking 10 to 20 minutes every other day until your body craves the movement. And it will. Our bodies were made for movement not stagnation.

-Today is a scratch day because it is raining outside and I am not at a point where I run in the rain. I am sure that will change soon. LOL. I did perform my warmup/strength training routine this morning. Did I already say I love this website. Check out just a taste of the info you can use whether you are a runner, just beginning or need a boost in specific areas.
