Make Time

There are 1440 minutes in a day.  You can spare 30 of them for exercise. 

Just looking at my calendar for May makes me tired.  And I've used the excuse "I'm too busy to workout." But then I remembered seeing the above on pinterest.  (Sadly, pinterest has also taken a back seat lately.)  I CAN and WILL take 30 minutes for myself to DO SOMETHING.  I've worked too hard so far.  I don't want to lose it.:) 

Today I ran on the treadmill.  What did you do?



WOW!

3 miles!!!! 456 calories gone!!!

'Nuff said.

Truth Time

Alright, I've been busy.  Have I been able to work out everyday? No. Most of the days since my last post? No. But since I knew I'd be too busy to work out I've been eating a little healthier, and drinking my tea.

This past weekend, I hosted a jewelry/make up party.  No time to exercise when the house needed to be cleaned.  So I made sure to serve healthier snacks, which I found on pinterest, such as:

They were delicious and any leftover fruit can go into a smoothie!

Just a Quickie!

Today had to be a quick workout.  I've done absolutely nothing since last Wednesday and was determined to do SOMETHING today.  Today, of course, I have 2 and a half hours to squeeze in folding 9 loads of laundry, yes, 9 loads.  I blame Indiana weather and baseball season.  I also had to make dinner since we'd be at baseball til 7:30 and all my other mom stuff. 

What did I choose?  I fell back on the Quick 15 for the treadmill.  I haven't run that in over a month but I still got it! And, even better, I feel great that I didn't let another day go by without doing something:)

New Numbers

Last time I checked, these were my numbers:
Waist 29.5 (-.5!)
Hips/Butt 37.5 (-.5!)
Right thigh 22.5 (-.5!)
Left thigh 22.5 (-.5!)
Right arm 11.5 (-.25!)
Left arm 11.25 (-.25!)

This time, as promised:
Waist 28  (-1.5!)
Hips/Butt 37 (-.5!)
Right thigh 22 (-.5!)
Left thigh 21.5 (-1.5!)
Right arm 11 (-.5!)
Left arm 11 (-.25!)

That's a total of 4.75 inches lost since my last measurements, bringing the grand total to 7.25 inches GONE!!!!! I knew it would be a difference.  I could see it when I showered and could tell by how my clothes are fitting.  Do I get lots of "Wow, you look great!"not too much.  But that reminds me of this pin I found.

My journey has only been about 6 or 7 weeks. I'm gonna keep going:)

Motivation--iheart Radio

If you don't have it yet, you should download this FREE App.  Just click on the icon below to get it!  Yesterday, I ran the furthest I've ever run in my life  4.5 miles!!!!

I'm pretty sure it's because I was listening to iHeart Radio.  I created my own station: Britney Spears.  Don't judge!  If you were like my friend Gabi you'd listen to Lil' Wayne or if you were like my friend Danica you could listen to a little Tom Petty.  It played some great songs that keep me moving and made time just fly by. I do heart iHeart Radio:)

**I was not paid, I just found the app, used it and loved it.  Just wanted to spread the word.**

A New Pin for the Inner Thighs

I've become very comfortable with the couple of pins I started out with.  I think it's time to change things up a bit, maybe target another area.  I'll keep my cardio on the treadmill or eliptical to burn calories and lose fat. My arms are shaping up nicely with my Erasing Arm Fat. 

Now, it's almost time for shorts and bathingsuits so it's time to focus on those thighs!

I realize I didn't post any measurements on Friday as I had intended to.  Sorry! Last week was very super extremely busy.  I PROMISE to post measurements this Friday:)
