Today I was feeling kinda like a bum with Hallie until I called up my Mom. I asked her pretty pretty please with a cherry on top to go running with me. She did. We were both hesitant, but we ventured out onto the winter sidewalks around 1:00pm so that it would be warmer.
I bundled up my little girl in her snow suit. It's actually for next year, so it's way too big on her. But it kept her warm enough. And she takes after her mom&dad and so her head is on the larger side. So none of her baby hats fit her anymore. Luckily, I had a cute pink stretchy beanie that I put on her. And it fit! Well... as long as I folded the bottom up to the top. lol. And my wonderful jogging stroller has the folding cover that can flip down to cover her from the front so that the wind doesn't hit her. She loved it! She was so happy to be outside. She didn't even fall asleep. She just sat there and gazed out at the beautiful world as we ran.
We decided to be cautious and stay close to home. JUST IN CASE. So we only did a small lap. The total came out to just over 3miles. We took a very slow pace. But at least we got out and ran. That's all that really matters. Here are the stats according to MapMyRun+ ...
Average Pace: 11:54 min/mile
Average Speed: 5.04 mile/hour
Calories Burned: 288
Distance: 3.02 miles
Time: 35:59
and according to my Timex HeartRate Monitor...
Time: 36:32
In Zone: 36:32
Avg BPM: 135
Peak BPM: 193
Calories: 430
Huge difference on calorie burn. But I think it's because the cell phone app doesn't realize how out of shape we are and how hard my heart and body actually had to work to make me go 11:54 min/mi. haha.
And I felt great after the run. I felt like I could do a lot more. But I didn't. But then my husband came home 5 hours later and asked if I was going to go to the gym. I said no because I thought it closed at 5pm. stupid hours. But then I realized it was Friday and not Saturday and that it closed at 9pm instead. I was stoked! I had a little internal debate for a minute if I should go. And I decided I should! So I went. And it was wonderful. Everyone is off dating and partying so the gym was pretty bare. There were still quite a few people there, but like only one third of the usual crowd. It was great. I could actually use the machines I wanted to. And the sitting decline bench was available! It was a miracle.
I am so glad I went and worked out. I feel great now! I love double workout days! Here are my stats from the gym workout...
Pull Day
Time: 43:37
In Zone: 43:37

Day Two
PUSH DAY
Time: 48:09
Time in Zone: 48:04
Avg BPM: 177
Peak BPM: 201
Calories: 902
(sorry I said some of those wrong in the video)
I didn't do anything extra tonight because my husband said he needed me home by 8:30pm so that he could go and play basketball at 9pm. I made it home on time, but he decided to play video games instead of basketball anyways. PuNk! lol.
Here are my body measurements (inches) in review:
Weight - 121
Neck - 12.5
Chest (under armpits) - 34
Chest (across boobs) - 35
Waist (ribs/smallest spot) - 29.5
Waist (belly button) - 33
Waist (belly bulge/widest spot) - 34.25
Hips - 38
Thigh - 22
Calf - 13.5
Bicep - 9.75
Forearm - 9
Hopefully most of those shrink over the next few months! My goal is 110-115 lbs, and 15-18% body fat. I know my scale said that I was 121 lbs today, but I don't believe it. That seems skinny, but I feel the complete opposite. I have been eating way too much junk and not exercising at all to be that skinny. That must mean I have absolutely no muscle right now. NOOooo!
Anyways... Good Luck and Here we go!

October 25, 2012
I almost didn't wake up, but then I heard my husband's lovely grumbling "stupid phone, why won't you turn off??!!" lol. It was my phone! No wonder I think I've been sleeping through my alarms. He's been turning them off before they wake me up! Ah! But luckily, I did wake up. I just couldn't drag myself out of bed until 4:52 am.
Nevertheless I did wake up, get ready, and go to the gym!
Today we did Body Attack at the Gold's Gym in Layton. It was quite different from the other two classes that we have tried. This one was pretty much Jazzercise. Except there is one circuit where all it is is push-ups. And then another circuit is completely lunges. Those rounds killed me because it was so much repetetive use of the same muscles. But the rest of the class was pretty much just cardio. Which is great. I'll take any exercise I can get. And it's good to switch it up.
We were able to stay for the entire class except for the last 5 minutes. YaY! And here are my totals from today's session:
WooHoo! I love to see numbers above 500! That is a good calorie burn for a 5am workout!
But we had to leave early so that we could get to our babies, so that our hubbies could go to work. But it snowed during the night!!! AAaaHHhhh!!! It wasn't sticking when we left for the class, but it sure was when we got out of it. The drive home was treacherous. All the slush was underneath the snow on the roads and so we were slipping around a bit. When I got home I ran the garbage can out to the curb, scraped the snow off the car windows, warmed up the car for Josh, put his lunch together, got out the snow tires for both cars out of the basement, and switched the laundry loads over! Look at me go! This waking up early is starting to be an awesome thing!
Oh! And before I started this blog I baked an egg to eat for breakfast (because I accidentally dropped it and cracked it), and threw the others in a muffin tin to hard-boil in the oven! I'm trying them at 350 degrees for 30 min. Once they're done I'll put them in ice water for 10 min. I hope this works! I'm kind of nervous because they're not store-bought eggs. They are from my parent's chickens. They better turn out! If not, I'll be so sad that I ruined a dozen (minus one) eggs.

I am soooo tired ......
I woke up at 4:30 am to go to the gym with Kallee this morning. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to stay up until 2am with Hallie. Holy cow. I just want to curl up in a little ball and take a nap. Oh my warm bed sounds so good right now.
But I actually woke up and worked out before the crack of dawn! I am now done for the day. I don't have to stress and worry all day about when I'm going to work out. This is an awesome system! I just need to go to bed earlier so that I'm not completely exhausted. I know that people don't think being a stay at home mom is tiring, but it is. I am exhausted ALL of the time. But I also work out more than most mommies do and I actually do go in and work a graveyard shift about once a week. I am just wearing myself a little thin. I need to make sure I sleep sometime.
And now the hardest thing I have to do today is Eat Healthy. I must I must I must! I want all of this hard work to pay off and it won't if I eat junk all day. So that is my goal today. Eat better than yesterday.
But I went and I tried out Body Combat at Gold's Gym this morning. It was really fun. I lOVE doing new workouts. It makes working out more suspenseful. You have no idea what to expect next. The only problem is that I am super uncoordinated. I never did dance as a little girl, so my arms move one way while my hips go in the opposite direction of my feet. lol. I felt like I spent more time trying to watch the instructor and figure out what she was doing more than anything else. But I think the more I go and learn the moves the easier it will be. I look forward to trying it out again.
And I don't know if it's the watch's fault or mine, but my watch did not start when it was supposed to. I remember pressing the button, but for some reason it didn't start. I looked down about 10 minutes into the class and realized it was not recording. NOOoooo!!! Oh well. Here are my stats for the rest of the class.
