For a big girl that is working on getting small, this work out was fast paced, hard, but sure didn't feel like it was hard...just FUN!
Thank you Ani and Kathy...I will be back! Thank you for taking the time to come talk to me:)

Wednesday Night ZUMBA!
Can I tell you that I have a new love? I sauntered down to Springville tonight to the Sweaty Chix Fitness to see what all the rave is with the Zumba fitness that people are talking about. There were a ton of people, and the lights were low and the music was bumpin' just like a dance club. The CUTEST little babe was up on the podium dancin' away and the energy was contagious. She had a twin sister that tag teamed a few songs and the hour went by so fast!

Saturday Workout Madness...
I can't believe that I can type after the work out we had this morning! We met at Amber and Steve's church gym and started with a run around to warm up. We then split into 3 teams and did relay races with running, suicides, high skipping and alot of other crazy hard, but fun things. We then did a boot-camp style work out with different stations to squat, run ladders, tension ropes, ab's with weights, free weights and step. WOW, Amber is amazing...talk about truly kicking my butt...thank-you!
My Weight for the week went DOWN 3.2 pounds! I will take it:)
We had a great discussion on great things to eat and healthy cooking. I will be posting some of my quick and easy recipes, but I do want to mention a great cereal that Lynsie told me about today. It is Honeyville 9 grain cereal. It has Red Wheat, White Wheat, Barley, Rye Oats, Corn, Buckwheat, Millet and Flax. You can buy it at Good Earth for $22.99 for 50 pounds people! She stirs it up into boiling water at night, covers it and it is the perfect them and nice and cooked by morning. She chops a few almonds, half of an apple and puta a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of agave...guess what my family is eating for breakfast a few times this week:)
Sorry the pictures are blurry and dark today...dang phone!

New CONTEST!
On New Year's day, we met at Nathan and Kristen's house ( my nephew and his wife) to start our new 12 WEEK CHALLENGE! This one is a family challenge and Steve and Amber ( other nephew and his wife) started a great new plan for us!
I am SO excited to be doing this with family...that is what it is all about, right? This is a bonding thing as well as a great support system and healthy way of living.
That first meeting was fun. We had computers set up and skyped in another nephew Will and his wife Anika, my sister Debi, and my daughter Jacey...They gave us the awesome guidelines and this is one I am a little bit more serious about...
There are quite a few of us in the family doing this...my niece Lynsie and her kids, the above mentioned family, my brother Craig and his wife Sher, my niece Amy and her kids will come for some of the challenges. I am not sure who in my family will actually do it with me, but Riley and Jocelyn came to the first meeting too. Nate and Kris have their kids joining in as well...I LOVE THIS!
We have a point system, where you get a point for eating 3 fruits, points for eating 5 vegies, points for water, NO SUGAR,points for no fried foods, eating breakfast,1/2 of grains eaten are "whole grains",no soda, no eating ater 7 pm, exercise (you can get up to 3 points) and sleep...what is that? I am not very good at the sleep thing. Part of that is Jeffrey's fault:) He likes to have the TV on until 3:00 am and it is hard to sleep through that, so I take Ambien. I know, bad!
Quite a few of us use the "My Fitness Tracker" to log our food and exercise. It is a great and easy app you can download onto your smart phone.
We are going to divide into teams for challenges. The winner of the biggest percentage of body fat lost gets to lead the rest of us in any workout they would like...aaahhhh. You have to do extra things if you dont lose and you are put on probation if it is a few weeks in a row. The winning team gets to make the losers do something crazy like clean their house while they watch, do a play for their neighbors, go to the movie theater dressed as trolls. Man I love this crazy family!
I am more committed to the NO SUGAR this time.
I hope my cooking well and eating well is a good example and motivation for my whole family.
