February Workout Schedule

I wanted to post my workout schedule for February.  It was a great month of working out and when I am in a “slump” I want to be able to look back and see what I can achieve!

feb 2012 workout 001

I am doing P90X (weights) for 3 days (MON, WED, FRI) and Turbo Fire (cardio) for 3 days (TUE, THUR, SAT).  I was also including in there running on the treadmill after some of my workouts.  But gosh darn it!  I think the treadmill got the best of me.  I do not run “normal” for me on the treadmill and I think I did something to my knee.  I will get to a little over a mile and it starts hurting.  So last Saturday was beautiful weather in the morning and I thought I would get a good 3 mile run outside thinking the treadmill was the problem and it still started hurting again.  So I am going to buy some new running shoes and rest it for a bit before I try again.  My knee does not hurt at all doing any other exercises but running.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE working out!  I love the rush I feel, the sweat pouring off my face when I get a good workout in, getting stronger and seeing how hard I can push myself.  I get up at 6 am and have until 7:30 until I have to wake up the kids and get going on breakfast.

I signed up David and I for a half marathon in American Fork Canyon.  David has been doing CrossFit at the gym with a friend so he is in good shape too.  It is a run for a good cause, Cancer.  And it is ON our Anniversary! 

Exercising is the easy part for me.  Eating is my downfall.  I am still learning to control my bad eating habits.  Of course I am really good for breakfast right after I exercise and am usually good for 1/2 the day.  I have found through all of my eating and getting healthy the cause behind feeling bloated and a tummy ache.  I am lactose Intolerant.  I have not been tested.  Just through watching what I eat and seeing the effects within hours.  I cannot have cereal with regular milk and not have a complete stomach ache a few hours later.  I don’t know how long I have had it.  But I know my stomach hurt a lot in high school, especially when I got stressed!

So, hopefully March is a good month and I can get my knee better!  I miss running!!!

Holy cow girl send your motivation my way. :) I need it. I actually hate exercising but for some reason get up and still do it each and every day. I too am having problems with my knees and KNOW it's my shoes. The same pain happened last year and when I bought shoes it went away (after a week or so in new shoes). They said you can only put so many miles on your shoes and even if they look brand new you've worn out the shock & tread on them. I'm a believer of it. I think it's awesome you and David are running a 1/2 together. I would love if Brian would do it with me one time. I think you look amazing in every way and can't see any bad eating habits. I was telling my sister just today if I could control my eating (cake, cookies, candy bars, icecream DAILY) I could look and feel SO much better. I just tend to binge when I'm stressed and let's face it...raising kids is no picnic in the park! :) I need to quit buying it and that would help me a lot. Hopefully you figure out your lactose problem and will be feeling great soon!
P.S. Sorry for the long comment.

I cannot do healthy thing! I just try and take it one day at a time! Im so determined to get it down! Its a learning thing just like everything else! And I think moving is hard no matter the age. So fun to get in a new place and new home but at the same time change can be difficult! I think your right that your glad you did it now rather then later. Wish I could of be there for the Baptism! I looked into flights but couldnt justify doing it right now! Dang!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
