weekend and a little fitness

Hello there! 

BRRR it is absolutely freezing here. It's -14 F here, and I am over it. I hate bitter cold. I would rather it just be warmer and snow then bitter cold. and I think I am getting sick, which makes me more angry. Okay there was my little vent! 

Friday: I painted. and painted some more. That was my Friday.

Saturday: I woke up and continued to paint, and then went and watched my sweet cousin play basketball. Towards the end of her jv game she went for the ball and another girl hit her mid air. She came down and smacked her temple on the ground... I knew it was bad immediately. She started throwing up. So I knew it was a bad concussion. She did have to go to the hospital, and it was a severe concussion. She is doing better, but still freaked me out. Even when I was an athletic trainer I never saw a concussion where they got sick right away! So glad she doing okay! 

Sunday: I finished up getting the house clean since Scott invited people over for Super Bowl. I made treats and got ready. It was a nice get together...other then the Broncos really didn't show up at all. And the commercials were so-so except for one...which I cried. Yes. Cried. 

We had some of friend's bring there son over. He sat with me pretty much the whole game! So adorable! 

Commercial I cried at: 

I do have to say the half time show was pretty good as well! 

Scott's parents got back from Las Vegas last night so we went and saw them. I have sure missed his momma! Since I haven't been feeling good I was in bed super early!

Today: Well I woke up feeling awful, but wanted to tough it out because we have parent-teacher conferences for the next 2 days so we don't have students. It was nice relaxed day since I wasn't feeling so hot, and my teacher assistant was home sick. 

I felt guilty not working out so I pinterested some workouts and made up this one to songs:

jumping jacks x30

russian twists x50 (with a 10 lb. kettle ball)

squats x10

crunches x20

squat jumps x10

superman 30 sec

jumping jacks x30

burpees x5

jumping jacks x30

russian twists x50 (10 lb kettle ball)

squats x10

crunchy frogs x20

lunges x10

superman 30 sec

jumping jacks x10

jumping jacks x30

leg lifts x10

squats x10

leg lifts x15

squat jumps x10

1:00 plank 

same as first one but faster since it's a shorter song

I did this back to back so they do get your heart rate going and work several different muscles! 

Hopefully I sweat out some sickness! 

Happy Tuesday! Stay warm 

xxoo 

5 on Friday

Happy Friday! Oh boy I am glad to see you! We had progress/assessments due this week so I stayed late, and then worked out. I also had bus duty in the mornings! Thank you for being here Friday! 

1. Well in honor of the Super Bowl being this weekend...I am having to post a wonderful picture of Eric Decker. I am a Dallas Cowboys fan, but he is sure starting to win me over to the Broncos side. And since we only live 3.5 hours from Denver we are cheering for them! 

2. I am so excited for Maleficent movie. Sleeping Beauty has always been my favorite Disney movie since I was little! And Lana Del Ray is singing "Once Upon Dream" and Lana is one of my favorite singers....

3. I am really excited to slowly start seeing some small changes from working out.... 

I just finished 4 weeks...

4. I follow on facebook "Fitness Girls" and there is pictures and videos. I highly recommend Keith Thompson spinning video on there. I tried to get it on her, but was unable to. I found this picture and it is my inspiration if I am ever a mom.

5. I am painting this weekend (dining room). Any recommendations for painting a wood table??

Happy Friday/Weekend bloggers!

xxoo 

Frustration.

Hello to all my bloggers!

So today I need to vent a little bit.

I have always been pretty fit, and in decent shape, but last June I was put on a medication that I didn't realize makes you gain weight, and even worse doesn't really allow your body to lose the weight.

Well over time I noticed the gain, increased my exercise, decreased my food intake, and still no change.

This is how I feel:

Well once I figured out what was causing the gain, I did some research, and decided to get of the medication and try a different one.

I am hoping this helps, but in the meantime I have gained 20 lbs. 

Eek. 

I am asking for your help?! 

If you have any tips, eating habits, or anything, I would be so grateful to hear them!

I am ready to get the body I felt good in back. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm overweight, but I just am not happy with where I am at right now....

I would love to be in good, healthy shape again!
