55 Days to a Skinnier Us...

Well today is a double workout day! Yikes those days really wipe me out. But it says right in the book that it will wipe you out! So I guess I'm not doing to bad....We did all the crazy push ups this morning...and I really mean crazy when I say that. Then we had wonderful Ab Ripper X, and then tonight we did Cardio X! Which starts out with yoga!! How can you not love today!!! Tim said his arms were killing him this morning but has not said anything this afternoon/evening. He also did all the reps on Ab Ripper X so he did according to Tony 349 wonderful abs exercises!!! Yeah not me! They go to fast sometimes, and some there is no way I can do 25+. But I will have to say that I did 20 mason twist with my feet off the ground and I did scissors with out holding on to my legs so I'm getting better. I just need to push it more, and yeah I'm to old!! Ha,ha,ha just kidding, I do my best and forget the rest!!!

56 Days to a Skinnier Us...

We I hate to say it but we took today as a rest day. Of course there was really no rest in it except sleeping in a little. I'm sure we will both be sorry and grouchy tomorrow!! But it is a doubles day!! Yahoo, can't wait for 4 in the a.m. to come so I can get up and going!!! Ha,ha,ha!

57 Days to a Skinnier Us....

Wow only 57 days left to go! Ha,ha,ha! If they all could be Kenpo X days I would be happy!!! I love Kenpo X I think it is the easiest and funnest. But it is funny no matter what workout we are doing, when I start to slack, Tony is always right on telling one of his guys to quit dogging it! How does he do it the same time I'm dogging it?? Interesting. Tim just said "Same old stuff...I'm getting ready to defend myself, but it's not like anyone is going to attack me though" Ha,ha, ha!!

We did it late...well 6 at night instead of 4:15 in the morning so that is late...because I had a RS thing from 8-1:30, then we took Ethan out to his birthday lunch, then came home and waited this time!!! Ok really we were waiting for the dryer to get done drying clothes!!! Also funny the few times we have done it at night I'm more flexible...weird! You would think I would be in the morning when I'm rested instead of at night after a long day of carrying me around. Ha,ha,ha!
Yeah stretching tomorrow!!

Sure glad the flash worked this time...or else I would have missed those great Kodak facial expression...Love all 3 of them!

58 Days to a Skinnier Us...

Ok I didn't mind this mornings workout...legs and back, but tonight's was not fun. Of course we did it after we took Thing 1 and 3 to dinner. Yeah I'm guessing that had something to do with it. We did Cardio X, it's only 45 minutes and I did good until the end, I did do one because TerrieBeth told me it hurt her knees and the next day my knees hurt....ha,ha,ha, I know it has nothing to do with it for me, but I figured since it hadn't been to long since I ate I better not do it. I did the next couple and then the last one superman-banana I did not do! No way my tummy was to full. I did the cool and made a mad dash to the bathroom to lose my dinner! Sorry to share that but learn from my mistake don't eat and then come right home and workout...leave some time. Tim was in a hurry to do it can't say as I blame him it is kinda late! Tim said it was a blast!! He did it all and he did 50 mason twist!!! Wow!!!

59 Days to a Skinnier Us....

Today was yoga!! I know I used to say I love yoga, but this morning I was getting pretty tired of vinyasas and downward dogs!! It could be because the doubles are killing me...I think if I did them both in the morning like TerrieBeth does it would be so bad but doing them at night....yikes I just get to bed and it's time to get up! Ha,ha,ha! I love the balancing ones, and the corpse one is my favorite and it will always be my favorite!! Every time I forget about yoga abs....yeah...not! Ha,ha,ha! All Tim has to say is it was Yoga X, I'm getting bored with Yoga X. The funny thing is we can both go down a heck of a lot farther than we could when we started, and we can hold the poses a lot longer. I really think it is funny that Tim can do some really hard ones better than me and I can do some really hard ones better than him. I guess it's funny because if you can do one why can't you do the other. And we are both getting better at one of the hardest ones...we can even make contact with our hands which we couldn't when we started. Sorry I don't know the name of it!

60 Days to a Skinnier Us...

Yahoo! We've made it through 30 days...and right now at 9:24 p.m. I dead tired. Didn't help that we were up at 4 to take TerrieBeth and John to the airport, then we came home and did Cardio X, went to work and then home to do back and biceps, then me to a meeting at church and just got home! What a long day! Ok for the workout...I don't really mind Cardio X, it is a good mixed up workout and it is only 45 minutes....not the back and biceps...my arms are ready to fall off. They haven't recovered from Monday's workout, and I used my new 8lbs weights for the whole thing....yeah I'm pretty much dying...Tim said he is to tired and to old to comment on today's workout! Ha,ha,ha! This doubles thing is killing us! Next week will be even worse, because I will have to be at school till 6 on two doubles nights! No fun! Yoga tomorrow...well I'm starting to hate the first part of yoga so maybe I will sleep in!! Ha,ha,ha!! Here's to another 30 days + 30 days!!!

61 Days to a Skinnier Us....

We did plyos today! Seems like it has been forever since we did them and it has only been a week! It did seem easier for the most part, there was a few I kept thinking I don't remember doing these before ;o). Tim said it was tough because of the doubles we did yesterday getting done at 7 p.m. and starting at 4:30 a.m., he legs felt like lead ;o). Oh it gets better.....he had to modify his shaving today? I was like what?? Yeah my arms hurt to much I couldn't hold them up!!! Ha,ha,ha!!! What a dope!!! My arms are starting to get sore. With all the work we did, we didn't stretch them out in the cool down, which I thought was weird, but never stretched them out on my own so I deserve them to be sore!! I'll let you know how they are tomorrow...oh wait I won't be able to type because they will hurt to bad ;o), Ha,ha,ha!

62 Days to a Skinnier Us...

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Doubles day was totally crazy!!! We did cardo in the morning, which was ok, but hard if you wanted it to be!! Which we did. And then tonight we did back, chest and triceps! Lots and lots and lots of crazy unreal push-ups!!! Our arms should be sore tomorrow! Tim said his arms are killing him and they are the most tired they've been so far, (his arms), and one handed push-up are impossible!!! Ok I did 6 of those but let it be known that I didn't go down to far..he said I didn't have to if I was just starting out! But those clap push-up I think are impossible...I tried one and almost didn't get my hands back on the floor before the rest of me made contact! Ha,ha,ha!! Fun times. And if it wasn't fun enough we got to do Ab Ripper X along with it!! Yahoo!!!

Today's picture is of the fam eating buffalo wings....homemade!!! Should have got one of the red velvet cupcakes also...no leftovers tonight!

63 Days to a Skinnier Us...

Ok today is rest or stretch day and we took a rest. Only because it wouldn't fit in our schedule until about 6 p.m. and by then we were getting ready for tomorrow and said ok lets just rest! But I think I noticed that I didn't do anything. Funny! Wahoo...tomorrow is doubles...workout in the morning and afternoon! No time to do them both! We can't wait.

Yep I took two pictures because this one thing 1 had a shadow on his face and in the camera you couldn't see his face, so I took another one with no shadow, and then liked them both!!
Good Job today Thing 1 and Thing 3

64 Days to a Skinnier Us....

Today was yoga...yahoo! Ok how come I'm so excited...because today it was hard! Same routine we've been doing, but we decided it was harder because we could do more of it. And of course when you do more you sweat more, and your muscles shake more! At the end we both said it was a good workout. Still can't do crain but I tried to do it more today. Usually I just go straight into child's pose. Tim said he can't balance, but he is more limber. It is hard to balance when your legs are shaking! And let me tell you there is some hard core balancing moves we have to do!! Tim also said I'm glad we don't have to do yoga two days a week for a while. Ha,ha,ha!!

Well Tim had his CGFM test today. And he passed so we went to the Stagecoach for dinner.
A while ago he bought a buy $50 for $25 certificate, but you couldn't get any change back so he called Tabitha to come help us eat our $50 worth.
Congratulation Tim way to Go!~

65 Days to a Skinnier Us....

Whew....that was tough! Ha,ha,ha!! We both worked hard today. My back didn't hurt, and it was interesting how some of the exercises I didn't remember from the day my back hurt. I asked Tim if there was anything he wanted to say about today's working out and he said urggggggg, I said how do you spell that and he said I don't know...then "It was tough, Hard work, it was fun". You feel it everywhere. I felt like I was going to pass out or throw up at one point! I have to say I'm sad that we don't get to do it again for 3 weeks! But there is more fun out there I'm sure!!!
Yoga tomorrow! Yahoo!

Ok today's picture had to be taken a couple of times. The first time my flash didn't go off.The second one if you blow it up you can see a little bit of the pretty sparkly frost on the deck. No flash once again.
This time I turned on the porch light and aimed at the fireplace because the cover looked pretty cool and sparkley too. But what it looks like is that it is snowing!! Ha,ha,ha

66 Days to a Skinnier Us.....

Ok today was a breeze!!! It was just stretching, how easy can that be?? Need to go to bed now though so I can get up and do Core Synergistics!! And my back doesn't hurt now so Yahoo! I'm going all out! Ha,ha,ha!! Tim is excited to!!!!

67 Days to a Skinnier Us...

Well we did boxing today! Fun stuff let me tell you. I like this one. But around 1ish, my stomach muscles started to feel worked out, and I was thinking what could have caused that we did boxing it wouldn't do it, and then it hit me...even though I couldn't work out to hard yesterday because of my back, I did enough for my stomach to notice ;o). Tim said his didn't hurt because he is buff!! Ha! Anyway on the first part of today's workout I'm getting the feet and the hands and hips down, but from the middle on...yeah the feet and the hips just don't work with the arms! We were once again breathing hard shortly after we started the workout and our first thought is, wow I'm out of shape, and then the second thought is...wow I'm not working as hard as they are because they are breathing a lot harder than we are! Crazy....and now we are scared for next week! Thanks TerrieBeth!

Hey do you like the BSU scentsy warmer I got him?

68 Days to a Skinnier Us....

Wow what can I say....What are you thinking TerrieBeth...this is your favorite??? Ha,ha,ha! Ok it is a really tough workout but a really good workout. I only wished my back didn't hurt so bad so I could have worked out harder! But I did workout hard enough to work up a sweat! Yes Tim did too. There is some crazy things we do in this workout like prison push ups, ok they aren't so bad but the first one is... hands in two different places and one foot stacked on the other one! Do 5 then change hands and feet, oh ok that wasn't to bad either...but let it be known that I don't go all the way down....yet! Tim does ;o). Oh oh..my favorite one was you on your forearms and in plank and then you have to push all the way up into a straight arm plank...of course this is a push up but I don't know the name! And there is all kinds of fun banana and boat rolls we did. Fun times, good workout!! We recommend it to all! ;o0

He is thinking before he makes his next move.
Still thinking...what a dope!

Nothing like a good cone on a hot day!!!
Happy Birthday Caleb

69 Days to a Skinnier Us....

Ok well today was yoga!!! A favorite of mine, but not today. Yesterday during my 5 hour stint at church my back started to hurt. I thought it was from those wonderful chair they have in primary, you know the ones with out a full back. Well it is still bothering me today, so I didn't work out as hard at yoga today, and I really missed it. I didn't however give Crain a try, yeah not happening so into child pose I went, and watched on as Tim did Crain! I'm hoping my back starts feeling better soon because we took a sneak peak at tomorrow's workout, (which is TerrieBeth's favorite!), and yeah need my back to even get started in that one!! Wow! It looks tough but we are up for the challenge, and next week when we go back to the the stuff we have been doing it will seem so easy! Ha,ha,ha!

70 Days to a Skinnier us...

Ok the only thing I can say about today is....stretching is almost as good an yoga!! There was two things I wanted to share with you on the things Tony said on is your teeth should not be touching??? What I've never heard that said in a workout video!!! And This is a tough stretch, in fact if there is an earthquake while in this stretch you probably won't make it out in time!!
Ha,ha,ha!!! Oh well we enjoyed the stretch anyway! I'll say it again that it is funny that one day you can do one exercise and the next you can't ....that is the way it is for both of us! Weird! Tomorrow we start what is called rest week! But from what I understand there is not much rest! We get to start off with Yoga though, that will be nice, neither one of us has to go to work so we can sleep in just a little before we get up to do that 1 1/2 hour workout! Yahoo! Tuesday I'm scared for....more to come then!

71 Days to a Skinnier Us....

Today as you know was a boxing day!! Now I have to say that it is very interesting. I try my best to get the feet moving the right way and then you have to worry about your punches being right, put your hip into it!!!! How am I suppose to concentrate on all those thing and still take out my opponent. I get a work out but I'm not to sure how much it looks like theirs but at least I'm trying. Now I can't tell you how well Tim is doing because I don't have time to check and see what he is up to, and of course we don't talk much because we are to busy concentrating on our moves or.....breathing!!! Ha,ha,ha! But Tim said today that this one is his favorite one!!! It's fun no matter how you do it! The guy cracks me up all the time. I was thinking ok come up on either one of us on the right hand side and your going down, now the left hand side is weaker for both of us, (I know that because Tim said so, I didn't see him), and you might win, but then it's sometimes hard to keep our balance in a kick or a punch so who knows you might just go down from pure luck or laughter!!! Ha,ha,ha!

72 Days to a skinnier us...

Legs and Back today!! Boy let me tell you how fun that is!!! Ha,ha,ha! And don't forget we were lucky enough to do Ab Ripper X!!! Ok now this one is called scissors and you have to leave one leg almost touching the floor and the other one is up in the air, when he says the number or switch you change legs...well I be darned if I can do this one...I have to hold my legs and help them go for one to the other, Tim on the other hand just does it with what looks like ease!!! Today I thought ok I've been doing this for 3 weeks I should be able to do this with out hands...well I maybe managed to do 3 and my abs were burning even more, and don't forget my poor legs which just had a great workout, so tell me how are you suppose to do this. Oh I can't remember if this is before or after you do the one leg wall squat!! Try that one for some fun! ;o) Tim laughed to day and said I've never seen that before, and I said what and he said, When she leg go of the bands it hit him in the face!! Ha,ha,ha! Ok that is mean to laugh but yeah that would be kinda funny unless it was you getting hit in the face!!
Tomorrow Boxing!! Yahoo!

Well it was a yoga day! We once again loved the workout. Only this time after we were done my legs keep shaking for about 1/2 hour, wow I must have worked hard!! Ha,ha,ha! We are still going strong..."You can do anything for 30 seconds". As far as the workouts go....it works for most of them! Ha,ha,ha. Oh yeah Tim could only touch his shins when we started 3 weeks ago and now he can touch the floor standing, and almost his toes sitting! Yeah. Oh and he can almost do the Crane...yeah I haven't even attempted that ones;o). I'll have plenty of chances next week for that! Yoga 3 times next week!! Yahoo...goodbye Ab Ripper X....not!

Ok I was going to take my camera to the game tonight and take a picture but both Tim and Tabitha have lost their cool keyring so I wanted a pictured of mine before it's gone. This is the key ring John brought back from Singapore, really not sure how they lost it, but they are looking for it, and hopefully they will fine it!

74 Days to a skinnier Us...

Yahoo we are almost done!!! Not...only 74 more days that is better than 90. We are having fun even at 4:30 in the morning!! Crazy. And yes we did the Ab Ripper X with a smile on our face!!!

75 Days to a Skinnier us...

Wow the time is flying...We had a fun workout today! Well I at least thought so. Tim wasn't feeling well so he didn't enjoy it as much as I did. I have to tell you when we are jumping the river he said something like if you don't want to jump the river, then jump over that guy you just beat up!!! Ha,ha,ha! Those are not his exact words but I thought it was pretty funny and I don't remember hearing it before!

Happy Birthday TerrieBeth...we love ya!!!!

76 Days to a Skinnier Us....

We are on our third time of Back and arms....lots of push up, and pull ups! Some I did better on this time some not. I did have to laugh because at one point the guy says..."I'm getting a little dizzy, and nauseated"...What you too?? I haven't been for a while but hey if they get that way I should worry that I do!!! Fun!!! And then we did the wonderful AB Ripper X, I can't decide which one I hate the most!! Ha,ha,ha! Today they were killing my legs not my abs, Tim said they were killing both his leg and his abs! Once again Fun times!!!

Ok I think Sunday pictures of the day are always going to be about dinner. Here Tim, TJ and Hollie are making ravioli's. It is one of Bobby Flays recipes and I now know why he always has two helpers. Tim started last night and with TJ and Hollies help it still took about 1 1/2 hours to make! But it was yummy!!

77 Day to a Skinnier us...

Well due to our Sunday schedules we had to do our stretching by our self. Which was weird, since we have been doing P9oX together every day. I have to say for both of us, we have decided that it doesn't matter if we lose weight or not, we both have more energy, and our flexibility has improved a lot, Tim's more than mine but still. And I only had to wake Tim up twice during our second Sacrament meeting today. He made it through the first one and Sunday School with out sleeping, which is weird for him because once he sits down that is it, he sleeps. But not no more ;o)

So we are both looking forward to week 3. It will be the same as what we've been doing but hey we are getting better at it so why not!!

Ok so this is my picture of the day. This sweet little popcorn popper I got for Christmas! Caleb thinks it its the coolest. He always wants popcorn when he comes over now. The good thing is it doesn't make that much in one batch so I don't have a ton left over. It scared him the first time it started popping! It was cute.

I really wanted my picture today to be from Costco....it was a mad house in there today...every check stand was opened and all had line at least 4 deep. But I was to scared to get out my camera and take a picture of people I didn't know. Then I was going to take it of the parking lot, but to many cars were waiting for spots. No parking anywhere or carts, they would bring carts in and they would be snagged before they got to where they normally put them. Crazy!

78 Days to a Skinnier Us....

Wow only 77 more days to go!! Not bad ;o). This morning we did Kenpo X, ha,ha,ha! I really think it is about the easiest one there is. But Tony cracks me up, and then I find myself saying what he is saying..."grab his collar pull him down and Bam! he's down, now kick the one behind you!!" Ha,ha,ha! Hey at least it make the workout fun! Ha,ha,ha! Not that we are going to go out and beat someone up, but we are getting the skills, like if Karate Kid, coat on, coat off, Ha,ha,ha!

Ok I took two pictures today...only because I didn't think you could see the time in this one. Here is P90X doesn't look so bad does it???
This is about 5:30 in the morning....about 45 minutes into the workout. We still have 19 minutes left. I was going to get one on plyometrics day but the batteries were dead in my camera!! I know go figure...it's been a while!

79 Days to a Skinnier us....

Yahoo legs and back today...can I just say ouch!!!! There are a few of them that really kill you.
It would be so easy to cheat, but I figure why do it if I'm going to cheat so I do it and say ....ouch!!!

Ha,ha,ha! Ab Ripper X was not to bad today....not that it didn't kill just different ones did, my tummy was a burning!!!! I hope that means it is melting away!!! I doubt it but maybe ;o)

Boxing tomorrow!! Yahoo!

80 Days to a Skinnier us....

Wow getting up at 4:15 after going to bed a little later than I plan made me grouchy. I hated the yoga workout today. I whined and complained through the whole thing. It was a good workout though. A little later in the day I thought maybe it was not because I didn't get to bed when I wanted because I wasn't tired...which is weird for me....so I decided it was because I ate a medium amount of chocolate yesterday, more than just a little piece so it messed me up! Who knows.

I can blame it on a lot of things but what I should do is....
TRY MY BEST AND FORGET THE REST....

Sound familiar anyone?

Including the fun filled Ab Ripper X ;o) I really don't think I/we will ever get the reverse bicycle , but hey I'm sure it is pretty funny to watch me try! The guy said something pretty funny today and I was going to blog it but I can't remember what it was. How can I be on my second go round and not remember things. Oh well it was fun and I can't wait for tomorrow, (despite the fact that I will be getting up at 4:15), Yoga Baby!!!

82 Days to a Skinnier Us...

Wow we made it through another plyometrics routine!! Fun times. I'm happy to report I didn't get sick. But he really does say at the beginning to get your bucket!! It is a good, hard, tough workout but well worth it. Most exercises only last 30 seconds and he say you can do anything for 30 seconds!!! I agree....it made be hard but we can do it! Sometimes we have to take a short break but then we jump right back in.
