Soooo....

Workouts have been a little difficult - my knee has been a little tender lately. I've been doing as best I can, but sometimes it is just a little much. My keyboard is ticking me off, so I'll write more later.

Ugh... it's been so long...

since I blogged! I will blog more later, too, but I just wanted to get a couple pictures up while I can! Hubby has been making fun of my pictures, so I slacked a bit. When I realized I wasn't so keen on working out when I didn't take them, I started again. The first ones were Kenpo X on Saturday.

Warrior One

Prayer twists!

I love this picture - except the wonderful wipes in the foreground!

Vertical punches

I swear the sun always shines brighter when I'm done with my workout!



The next ones are the best yet. Connor and Cooper decided to workout with me since I was doing Core synergistics.
Marching in place. Coop was a little lost at first.

Quad stretch. Coop is talking to me off camera - hench the goofy expression.

Stack foot staggered hands pushups

Banana rolls!

Squat run - Connor's tired so he's running the camera at this point.

Bow to Boat (this is Boat) Connor's behind me.

Bow - Connor wanted in the picture, so I moved - then he said he was too tired to do it.

I love water.

I love these next couple. Coop's taking the pictures - you can tell by the little fingers on the right hand side.

Coop again!

And Coop strikes again!

Saturday - Week 2

Today wasn't so great, but I did get some of my goofy workouts in. My favorite was when I was cleaning Coop's room, his magnets were all over the floor. I did a combination of walking push ups and over and under push ups to pick them up and put them on his magnet board. While I was talking to Hubby (he was in the shower so he couldn't make fun of me) I did sit ups on the yoga ball. I added things to my usual cleaning method - I clean one room until I get an object that goes in another room, then I move on to that room. When I got to the new room, I'd do a minute of jumping jacks and I would "speed" clean.

Anyway, tomorrow we're super busy, but I'm hoping I'll be able to stay active at least.

Friday - Part Deux

I made tuna noodle casserole tonight for supper. I altered my original recipe and it was SOOOOO good. So I ended up having seconds. And thirds. Add that to the bowl of ice cream this afternoon, I was feeling kinda icky. So I did Cardio X too! I was so proud of myself - I managed to do 99% of the workout (1% was Steam Engine - I hate those and Coop wanted milk. So I accidentally didn't press pause)

I need to workout at night more often - I have so much energy! Wait, that's not a good thing. It's 9:45 and I am WIRED! If it wasn't dark and I could manage both dogs, I have enough energy to take them for a run. Anyway, I have homework to finish - so I will see y'all tomorrow!

Friday!

I'm off to push play! I'll be back in a bit!

Sooo... I worked out. Kenpo X. I figure I'm too far behind to really catch up this week, so I'll do cardio stuff until Monday. Here are some pictures - some taken by Coop, others by Connor, and some by me. (I love the self timer setting!)

Cooper's attempt to take pictures - you can see my new shoes at least!

Trying to get in the frame

Knee kicks

Jab/Cross switch

Side lunge/High sword/Low hammer

This was taken towards the beginning of the workout - you should have seen my hands after! You can't accuse me of not putting my all into my punches!

I think my thoughts were, "Sunny beach! That was a workout!"

And the stretch. I stayed here a little longer than Tony did, that's for sure!

Thursday - Week 2

GRRR... I didn't get a workout in today either. It is Hubby's birthday today, so I cleaned (like REALLY cleaned) and then we did dinner and a movie. The good thing about today is my diet wasn't super horrible. But, tomorrow is a new day!

I'm BAAACCCKKKK!!!!

Chest and back today. I'm sore - every keystroke is a little tingle of accomplishment. I did the first round on the chin up bar instead of the bands. And it's so much harder! I remember attempting a pull up when I started. It wasn't pretty. I didn't get any good pictures today though, but I'm thinking I might bust out a Cardio X later too. So there is still hope.
