I am here to PUMP you up!!



Hello All!!! It has been a crazy couple of months!! It seems like forever since I had written a blog! So back in April Beach Body had a couple of programs on sale, Ken and I wanted to get more muscle than we have gotten since doing Chalean Extreme. And to be quit honest I was a little iffy about doing this one...but I bucked up and we purchased Les Mills Pump( aka as Body Pump in the gyms) 


I loved the results I got from CLX.....and I just honestly didn't want to give her up..but look whose in Pump...
It's DAN AND RACH from Combat!!

After I saw that they were in this one I knew that I could do it! This series comes with a LOT of trainers and they rotate all the way through the DVD's. There is NEVER a dull moment during this workout! **for those of you who have done it and know what BOTTOM HALF'S are...:-) That's all I'm gonna say!** 

I love being pushed to my hardest while lifting weights! Oh and the music is pumping!! During Pump and Burn at the very last track they have a song on there and its called "Save a horse ride a cowboy!"  I hate it because it gets stuck in my head...and that's the only line I know!! 
I totally forgot to tell ya that with this program you only have to weight train 3 times a week. And this program comes with the barbell and weights..Ken and I bought (heavy) extra weights so that we can squat heavy!!! Ken told me that yesterday he squatted with 70 lbs. To me that is awesome!!!  The heaviest I can go is 60 lbs....and usually what happens is you clean and press it, then put the bar on the "meaty" part of your upper back...and after doing the squat track...I'm kinda tired to the point of where I can't pull the weight up off my back. 
How did you get it off you say??

Well....this part is embarrassing but here goes....I move close to the couch and squat like a child does when playing....and I tuck my chin to  my chest and have lift half roll it onto the couch.. Sam thinks that this is hilarious and is constantly asking me to do it when I squat.   Anything for a laugh I guess....


YES! YES! YES!! I totally recommend this program...Ken and I have only been doing this program for about 5 weeks...as soon as we finish I'll post before and afters... but if your looking for something else other than Chalean Extreme I would buy this one!! Its fun!! And your building muscle and looking sexy! To quote Asa(she's the blonde on the other side of Dan) Who doesn't want to look great naked?? Right!??

Nutritional tips...okay maybe NOT but its just things that I do

 Request after request came in and so yes.....I will write a nutritional guide..if you wanna even call it that. So..............(<<<<those dots were pointed out to me in my last blog by the hubbs..so these dots are for you!) Did you know that no matter how HARD you train...no matter how long you spend with Shawn T, or any other trainer that you love....its only 20%.   yep, ya'll heard me ONLY 20%!!!!!!!!!! I know my jaw hit the floor too when I was told this number! Surely there must be some kind of mistake! Well after hours of banging my head against a wall(okay so I was down on the floor throwing a temper tantrum like a 3 year old, kicking and flailing my arms...) I came to accept that no matter how hard I worked out the reason I was not seeing ANY results during the first part of my fitness journey was because diet is 80%.  I know...it sucks....but it is totally true. Hmmm well how am I going to eat healthy?? Well to be quit honest I just remember introducing

It's the Holiday season!!!

T'was the week before Christmas when all through district #91 some choir teachers thought it would be amusing to have 2 concerts in 2 separate schools on the same night.  The parents not so much! How exactly was I suppose to show support to both daughters?!! We did what any normal parents would do in this situation...  We split up, JUST FOR THE CONCERTS!! Talk about divide and conquer baby!! It was great! Ken and Sam went to Leslie's concert...which was themed The Polar Express. And it was cute. Ken was able to get a couple of cute pictures and a video. When I watched it when we met back home...I couldn't help it...I started to cry because I don't want to miss these precious moments of her life. I don't want her to look out into the audience of anything she performs in and be that one parent who doesn't show, I can't handle that look of disappointment in my children's faces.  So that left me...and my mom to go to Kylie's concert.

I almost surrendered

It has been a really long time since I have blogged last and I know that I said I was going to blog about Girls Camp..but I will eventually get to that..but these last 2 weeks have been so hard. Like harder than normal...I felt myself wanting to give in and give up to the pain in my heart.  I thought that this latest trial would break me...I feel as though I have noghting left to give. What am I suppose to learn from this that I haven't already learned from the last one. Well...I'll start from the beginning to get you guys caught up. I am a substitute teacher and I was subbing for my son's class for about 3 weeks because his teacher had to have surgery and she was out for a while. So I'm subbing for this teacher who is great and I sometimes wonder if I'm even qualified to fill her shoes cuz guys teaching is H.A.R.D!!! And I've known most of these kids for a while...I subbed last year for and so for the most part I'm pretty comfortable with the kids...
