day 6

i broke my record yesterday when i worked out for 6 days in a row! yay! so anyways...things are going well...


after one week, any difference?

Kev: you have more energy...yay!
Mom: your bum and stomach are looking smaller...:) yay!

anyone else? jk.

i'm having fun, and i'm proud of myself for sticking to my plan.

day 5

so yesterday, i worked out on the eliptical reading a book. and then tonight, i hadn't worked out at 10pm, and then after i got mad and cried because i had to work out anyways, i got out the x-box and played for 36 minutes so i was distracted on the bike.


days 4 and 5 over. wahoo.

day 3

thirty minutes of the bike, and then thirty minute walk with Channing in the 50 degree weather! so nice to get outside with him in the stroller. he loves to go outside, and just gets snuggled down in his blankie and looks at everything. the weather has been so nice, and even sunny somedays...:) that rarely happens in the winter here.

channing successfully climbed the stairs...twice now. yikes...got to get the gates for the stairs.

day 2

day 2 over...i read the scriptures while i worked out today, so it went super fast. if you put a book over the timer, and set a goal of not looking at the timer until you reach a certain verse or page, it goes by really fast.

thanks for all the support! i'm still excited...:)

Super Gnarly Day

So...one of our friends, CJ Carter, inspired me to start working out...she's lost 40 lbs. since having her baby this fall. wow! so...i'm going to do better than i've been doing. I was telling Kevin that i might need some motivation to be able to meet my goal, which is 30 minutes of exercise, for 30 consecutive days, excluding Sundays. when i do this, i get to have a 'super gnarly day' as phrased by my husband, which means a special emily day, planned by Kev. so...since Kevin plans fun days for me, i'm excited for my special day, around Feb. 27th or so......


but the problem is....i haven't worked out more than FIVE DAYS in a row, since 2004! so this is stretching it for me...and i have to report my workouts every day on my blog, so i can be held accountable by someone. :)

so, i started today, and i did 30 minutes on the bike in our room, while reading an intense novel. it went pretty fast....my favorite kind of workout.

day one down.....yay me!

5. baby einstein videos

6. eating anything in sight...even vegetables

7. growing an inch every 3-4 weeks!

8. the song: if you're happy and you know it...
