Today's workout is gonna be pretty simple. I'm prepping to do a practice run for my PT test tomorrow so I don't wanna be too sore!

We're gonna do the leg workout I put out the other day (the Dancer's Legs Workout)

And next we're gonna do the 4 minute workout but for 6 minutes! So just tack on another round of Squat Thrusts, Mountain Climbers, High Knees, and Jumping Jacks!!

Sweet and short so the hubby and I can go see The Dark Knight Rises tonight!!

Well, I know this is late. But last nights workout was moving a whole house worth of furniture! So a break for you guys!

I will post today's workout in a bit!

Today's workout is pretty short (as it's my daughters 2nd birthday and I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off)...

I'm doing a workout I found on Pinterest. It's pretty short! It's called "Dancer's Legs Workout"

Tonights workout? Yeah, this is gonna seem long, but it's only about 25 minutes worth of work. Why? Because it is over 100 degrees in my house and I would prefer to stay alive.

This is some type of workout. But I can't remember what it's called. (I will figure it out and add it later, I know it starts with a "T")

A video for this grouping is posted at the bottom with details on each move. :)

Today is the day.

The day I start to challenge myself to work out every single day for the next year. Even if it's a tiny, short workout. Only exceptions? Yeah, I better be in the hospital or dead. No excuses!

Stats as of today...

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 143

I will have to get my inches later. We don't have a tape. :(

Target areas? Thighs, tummy, and love handles!

I'm happy with my body from the ribs up and from the knees down... In the middle, I'm a whale.

Thursday, I went grocery shopping. I didn't even buy any Diet Coke. (Those of you who know me, I was drinking three or four 24 packs of Diet Coke every single week. Bad bad bad.)

I have been drinking water like a champ, and I already feel better (after I got over the Diet Coke withdraws of course...)

My goal is to get down to 125. Then I will be content I think. But I want a lifestyle change.
