My sister and I did this workout the other night. It was a lot of fun...and a pretty good workout if you let yourself get into it...best yet, it's only 8 minutes!!!
Give it a try! It's great for a Sunday, you will see what I mean. :-)

A saturday extravaganza
Okay, so I know I have told lots of you about my saturday free day thing. And I don't know if any of you really believe how badly I eat on these saturdays. I definately make up for lost time not eating sweets, fast food, and junk food during the week. But it works for me. Today's indulgences included...but weren't limited to...
Almost 1 whole pint of Haagen Dazs Peanut butter chocolate ice cream (Jonathon had a few bites)
6 or 7 LARGE chocolate chip cookies
3 bowls of frosted mini wheats...with whole milk
Deep fried Coconut shrimp
White rice...I love white rice!
Crunchy McDonalds Ranch snack wrap
1 pluot (had to eat something healthy you know)
fruit snacks
And that is all I can remember right now. Tomorrow it's back to healthy wholesome fuel, so I can get back to my 10 minute training monday (which lasts for 35 minutes)....oh ya! And try to run the remaining 15 miles...woops! Not all saturdays are this bad, some weekends I don't really feel like eating junk at all (especially after I have been working out for a while). But it's nice to know I have the option once a week.

my new tool
Okay, so far I am 2 for 2 on my new set of workout videos. Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer. I saw this info-mercial...I think while I was in the hospital after having Texton (when else would I have been watching TV?) And I just HAD TO have it. Who wouldn't want to look hot in only 10 minutes a day? It's done by the same guy as P90X. So, it's called the 10 minute trainer and supposedly you can get an amazing body in 10 min a day. But, then when you read the instruction manual to the program...it tells you to complete 2 or 3 videos a day for maximum or optimal results. So, the sad news I realized...there is no easy way to lose weight. You must work your little (or in my case, large) bum off for 20-30 min everyday. 
It's a four week plan, and they are tough videos. I will definitely have to work up to some of the moves he does.

A pat on my back
So, last night.... I didn't want to run my 2.6 miles for the day (suprise suprise)! But, my loving husband made me (thanks Jonathon). Okay, he didn't push me out the door, but he made me eat the words I said the night before about setting a goal and keeping it. ;-)
So, I strapped on my new runnin' shoes and went for it.
All was going well. My iPod was dead, so I had to borrow Eden's and listen to the one song on there over and over and over again. It was a decent running song at least, with a good tempo for running to.
Then all of a sudden I passed two large trucks, parked one in front of the other on the side of the road. There was about a 3 feet gap between the trucks and two older men (mid 60's, early 70's) were standing nearby with slightly bewildered looks on their faces.
In between these two trucks lay a body....huge body! I was running, it was dark, I was slightly spooked already because I really HATE running at night alone. The lighting on the streets in my neighborhood is poor. But, this definately looked like a naked large cut up body lying in the road between to trucks. It freaked me out. I began running as fast as I could.
When I got home, I told Jonathon about what I had seen, he thought I should call 911 to send the police over to see what was going on....turns out, it was a pig. A really really really big pig. Slightly embarassing. But, glad it wasn't a human.
All the same, I ran my 2.6 miles yesterday! And I give myself a pat on the back, and a tear out of my chubby picture. ;-) Yay!

A running fool
Well, if I am going to accomplish my goal of 50 miles in 50 days I better pick up the pace. So far I think I have ran 10 miles...and I am supposed to be done in 15 days. Whoops! So, that means I'll be running a little over 2miles a day...but don't think I am not going to accomplish this goal...cause I am! ;-) Mmm Hmm...wanna bet?
