Workout Wednesday 9/14/11

OK so I don't think Workout Wednesday is a thing. Most of the other blogs I follow do a Wordless Wednesday full of pictures of their super cute families. Well I don't have any cute little ones, so my Wednesdays are going to be Workout Wednesday.

So today I did Metamorphosis by tracy. I attempted her 30 minute jumping/ dancing thing this afternoon and then after dinner I did the muscle part. The infomercial isn't wrong when they say that you are doing moves that you have never done before and feel your muscles react in a way they never have before. I think I did about 60 or 70%. It is very challenging and I like that. I read a review where a nutritionist said the food program from Tracy is like an anorexic how to, so if you decide to try her program stick to the videos and not the meal plan. I am not sure if I will repeat it again tomorrow or find something else to do (maybe something on the house), but starting now I think I will be doing some kind of workout every Wednesday and reporting it to you.

What are you doing to stay active?

Is running for me? 8/29/11

Well I hope you didn't think that our house was the only part of our home, because I do hope that this blog can cover the various parts of our home. So today my husband and I decided to start the couch to 5K . . . again. We have started C25K oh um 3 times before. We have made it into the 2nd week, and then usually have bad weather, get sick, or have a ton of work that prevents us from continuing. I am making no promises that I will make it past week 2, but with the nicer weather I do hope we will get out more. We bring the dogs with us on our run which is great for them, and clearly it is great for us.

Only once in my life, my junior year in high school, have I really enjoyed running. I would come home and run and run. I will admit my mom was letting me take matabalife before they took out the stuff that is now illegal, and it may have been why I was so full of energy everyday. Now when I run I think I should feel that way - full of energy. I completely forget that it wasn't just last week that I stopped dancing and playing volleyball. Maybe if I keep up running or doing other exercise I will gain back that love for running.
