8 songs with 7 NEW high scores! Super Sweet, and I played 2 songs from Just Dance 1.

Total time = 40 minutes

Awesome what a fantastic way to start of February 2012!

I need to do more weight training though.

That's a Wrap!

2012-01-31T22:15:00.000-05:00

No no not the food! The month of January is done with for the first month of 2012! I'm proud of myself too for all the hard work I've put in for this year thus far.

Workout/Physical Activity = 8 hours
Snow removal = 1 hour
Total January 2012 workout time = 9 hours

However I need to do better for the next month of February, and you know what? I know I can do it!

I want to do much more weight training too. I pretty much have the cardio mastered! Need to work on that LOWER half. :)

About 7$ Walmart .... and I love it already. Way better than my notebooks with the days written in it. This shows it all and it's harder to tear out a page or scratch off a day. It's all right there. I went to my blog www.fitnewenglandchick.blogspot.com and copied my workouts for Jan into the book. I'm doing pretty good. :) I'm pressing myself. Ooo hoooo!

Use the whole month to log

Use the daily 2 pages = 6 days sweet! Can't wait to really use this. I will do more handwriting it too. Old school is cool!!

I just did 50 pushups on my knees! I've never been able to do more than 28-30! Rock on! Man did my arms burn and they still are! I did short good but quick reps.

I wish I could get this awful pain out of my shoulders that's causing my back to hurt. My massage last Thursday didn't help at all. :(

Working it in 2012 - Update

2012-01-15T16:11:00.001-05:00

Im proud to say that I have been working very hard. I could be doing more but I'm doing great! I've been using myfitnesspal app, and I still love it. It is really awesome on the iPad. It really shows you where you are in every area, along with logging your foods in easily. I don't obsess over what I eat but it keeps me eating and balanced instead of my skipping meals or over indulging. :) I'm at 144.8 pounds but the scale fluctuates as we all do. Not sweating that just working on sweating myself. I can't wait for the new week to get going strong again and with a more concrete workout PLAN!Hugs & Fitness Heather

Okay I wasn't going to talk about my new years resolutions but. I must. I won't go in detail about my fitness though because if I do, I will only doom myself like every other year. Yes I am in pretty good shape but I want more. In short I want to be more faithful. No more 2-3 weeks with out working out. How's that???I Oh and severely limiting my evening snacking while watching tv with the hubby. I don't eat a lot but....I don't think that I need a whole bag of my favorite Homestyle Pop Secret Popcorn. :) needless to say. Starting this Monday January 9th, look out because I'm going to be coming in strong. As far as my other resolutions or plans for a better life. 1) to be more organized - filing- meal planning - just doing even better than usual2) healthier- as stated above3) be happy- not just always thinking of others- doing for me and what I like- relax, the dishes will wait4) Read with the kids more!!Heather

Ah yeah #5 dumbbells, 59 degrees out, a little Prince, Tone Loc, Perry and more. Super sweet workout. ( the settings was messed up for my pedometer it said I was 180 lbs wrong! So I fixed it buttttttt, I was using dumbbells so the calories is probably right) I also wore my Easytone Sneakers, I'm not sure if they help or not but I wore them. I also did curls and hammer curls and walking with the dumbbells so my arms will be sore tomorrow for sure.

Fit Challenge Post 1

2011-10-17T10:12:00.002-04:00

I didn't do well at all last week on workouts. I have excuses yes we all do and I know that they are not accepted. However.....my head was killing me for 2 1/2 days and nothing seemed to cut it. I also worked alot along with caring for the house. I did do my abs workout and arms and also some push ups. I ate really well and healthy. I have been limiting my food on the bad stuff like hot dogs. Last night we had hot dogs and I usually have 2 at the most but I only had one! It felt good too. You don't have to STUFF yourself to feel satisfied. We did have a Salad first and the dog was served with apple sauce and a pickle! Not too bad. :)

Hugs! Heather
PS I plan on doing better this week for sure!

Digging for the Septic Lids

2011-08-23T20:52:00.001-04:00

A couple breaks and maybe two hours? Lots of squats and bending holes are knee deep. Crazy!!! I have to do more tomorrow. I almost passed out. I didn't eat enough prior too but the Hershey Bars helped out with the low blood sugar. I'm so glad it was cool out. In TN the septic wasn't this deep maybe due to snow here in the north east. Sigh. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Ps who puts the septic tank in the front yard? We'd never be able to plant shrubs under our three bay windows.

Zumba Wiiiiiiiiii!

2011-06-12T13:38:00.001-04:00

Too much fun
40 minutes and Olivia played too!
Wear sneakers for better performance by far!
Barefoot doesn't work well for me.

I played multi and single player, when you are in this mode you can pick any of the songs. Very cool.

Zumba Wii 1

2011-06-08T12:45:00.000-04:00

Zumba Wii just showed up and I did a 20 min class got 444 points, which was good. I really enjoyed it and got pretty sweaty for only 20 mins. It's hot in Maine today but this was a lot of fun. I can see doing this daily. Also I like it a lot because with Just Dance you hand/arm is the main focus. With Zumba Wii you need to get it all moving to do your BEST!
