This week is VBS (Vacation Bible School) for our church! Grades 1-6 are coming from 9-12 everyday and hanging out with us! It is SO much fun, but man is it hard work!! I have sadly cancelled my PT (personal trainer) this week because I would have to do that at 600am, and lets face is. That's just not... Going to happen. I get UP at 6am. Not work out for an hour at 6am. Okay, anyway I'm finding that I don't even need it this week!
I am leading a station that all the kids come through where we go over the verse, ask a few questions, and then we sing and dance!! It's a lot of fun, but it's also great exercise! Who knew?
On the topic of healthy lifestyle- I also just got Zumba in the mail!! So excited! If you don't already know, Zumba is an exercise program that is basically just dance! It takes all sorts of dances from around the world and puts them into a workout routine. The classes are taught with signals so it doesn't matter what language you speak, you can participate. And it's incredibly fun! So that's exciting.
Just thought I would update you and let you know how things are going. Love you all!
Day 1 of protein shake: mixed my chocolate powder with a scoop of peanut butter and water... Good. But couldn't drink it all. Ill get better.
Pun status to end the day from fb: I was going to deliver a pun for the end of the day but I fear I may start getting hate mail if I post too many. At least I have a few stamps of approval.. My husband still loves me. So that's a plus! NIGHT!
I have never been one to "work out", even when I had a gym membership! When I WOULD go, I would run for 30 min... and then maybe do a few stretches and be on my way. But not anymore! Putting the old habits behind me and making new goals to work for! I am excited to say that I have started with a personal trainer 3 times a week and have a list of things to do the days I don't see her.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday I meet her in the park by my house at 7:00am and we do a 1 hour work out that works my cardio, strength and core.
I have never been so aware of every muscle in my legs... ow.
But I am super excited for this journey! I can already feel that I feel better throughout the day, which is a good sign! I'm also starting protein shakes, first thing in the morning to boost my metabolism and get a healthy start that way since I don't eat breakfast. I ordered the shake powder from Arbonne, a company that sells many things like Make-up, health bars and shakes, shampoo, lotions etc. My cousins just started their own business with Arbonne so if I can support them, I will!
Here are my thoughts for a healthy lifestyle.
Life is short, too short. But we were put here for a purpose and I want to fulfill that purpose with everything I've got for as long as I've got. So I'm going to get my body where it should be; healthy. I'm going to work at eating better, walking more, smiling lots and listening to my body when somethings up. You know they've done studies and eating right and exercising can save you from a LOT of health problems... crazy I know. :) But just for kicks, let me give you an example. Take a look at this short video called 23 1/2 hours.. it changed the way I think about my day to day.
So far I have met my PT in the park only 2 times, tomorrow will be day 3. When I wake up I think... bah- I don't want to do this today. But when I'm done the work out.. I am thankful and excited. What do you do to improve your everyday life? If you aren't doing anything right now, I challenge you to start going for walks around your neighbourhood. The difference it will make! Enough of this excuse.
I wanted to exercise last night but it just didn't work out.
haha *Self high-five*, although I see your play on words, it's not worth it. How hard is it to walk around the block a few times? And that is all I have to say about that! I am off to get ready for the day!
