Hurray for the weekend!

Well, I really had no intentions of workout out today - I love that whole 'give your body a rest' theory and was planning on enbracing it today! But, as hubby got himself out to door for the gym bright and early I felt the pressure to keep up, but also the urge to do it!

So, with the kids quietly tucked away I set out the following routine: Forward lunge (10/leg), rear lunge (10/leg), side lunge (10/leg), russian twist (in a v-sit) with a 20 lb weight, feet to heaven (20), old school bicycle (20 done slowly), side plank raise (15/side), full plank on elbows with leg lift (15/leg). I did this routine three times and it took me 35 mins. I worked hard and at a good pace, phew! I was tired when I was done, but was really pleased that I did it.

Tomorrow is a Zumba Dance party Zumba Dance Party at Core Essentials Studio - Zumba is alot of fun, and wholy cow! what a cardio workout! This is a really fun way to throw a-little-something-different into my routine.

Well, off to clean the house.
Happy Weekend!



PS I signed up for X-Weighted tonight. There is another blogger Amy's Quest to Skinny that I follow (she actually inspired me to start blogging) who not only was strong enough to sign up for the challenge, but also to post her 'before' photos. I know she's feeling badly as she's moved backward from her goals and at her weight now but I find her inspirational!

I'm not brave enough to post photos, but I will share my sign-in stats:
Weight 174lbs (the x-weighted system says I need to loose 10 lbs)
chest: 39"
waist: 36"
hips: 42"

It will be interesting to see where I land in 26 weeks (which is the x-weighted challenge)....any guesses?

Nite : )
