Amigas

This morning I met up with some new friends {both super cute Army wives Ü} for a great little workout!  FRIENDS.  That's my secret word! That's the word that gets me off my butt and EXCITED about a workout!   Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a good workout el solo.  But there is something awesomely motivating about working out with friends!  I am SO looking forward to meeting with them twice a week!

One of them is working to be a personal trainer.  We're her guinea pigs!  So what does that mean for me?  FREE PERSONAL TRAINER!!!  SCORE!  I am so completely stoked for this.  I get to get two great workouts each week.  And I get to hang out with awesome chicas!  Win/Win right?!  Right.  I'm squealing like a little girl right now!

Hot Bod

Okay. So since the move I haven't gone to Turbo Jam {SHOCK, I KNOW}. So I have been in need of something to replace it. I miss my friends from Turbo and don't think any DVD will EVER replace that BUT...

My newest "thing" is Jillian Michaels. I don't have tv so I haven't seen The Biggest Loser in AGES! But way back in the day when I DID see that AWESOME show I was totally hooked. So, at the reference of a friend {thanks Kim}, I picked up one of her DVD's and gave it a go. WOW did I lose some strength in JUST a little over a month of not doing turbo!! But it's cool, Jillian will have me back up to snuff in short order.

I chose her No More Trouble Zones DVD. I am at my goal weight but NEED TONING something fierce. This will help me get there. I have had her Fitness Ultimatum wii game on my wish list and I've been tempted to read some of her books.

Check out this video from when her Metabolism book came out:


Here is the "ad" for her Ultimatum. Maybe Santa will stick it in my stocking this year?


I like to change things up; constantly getting in to new workouts and exercise. It helps me stay motivated and avoid boredom. So this winter I plan on keeping up my running {as much as I can stand running on the dreaded treadmill}, and alternating that with clogging, Jillian's DVD and the Wii Fit {I hope to get the Plus soon}. The overall goal is to stay active and continue to eat well {as in healthy, not quantity}.

Wish List

Today I was looking on Amazon.com for a few things. Specifically a book, WINGS, by my friend Aprilynne Pike; just released on Tuesday... which my husband actually bought for me for Mother's Day and lo & behold it arrived TODAY!! Good thing I didn't buy it eh?! But YOU should!!!So I'm looking around a bit and I somehow wander onto THESE and I am wanting them ALL!!

First there is Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. Looks FABULOUS! And who doesn't LOVE Jillian Michaels? I ♥ that this has nutrition helps too... food substitutions, cooking tips, healthy snacks and tips for dining out! Bob Greene, Oprah's good buddy, went the extra mile on this one. It includes a resistance band.There are things that I LOVE about my wiiFit. But I need to change things up. Muscle confusion right?! My birthday is in about 2 weeks so you can purchase any or all of the above and mail them to.....

Kidding. Sortof...
