I had the wrong date for the butt survey - so I changed it and hopefully we can tell more - if we can get more people to check out our sites!!

Getting More Energy After a Tough Workout!!

Alright!! I was kind of lazy last week. I had a blog to be posted about it - my confession and all, but it got deleted - and I just posted one that I wrote earlier about my dog.

We went on a great walk this morning - it's funny because a lot of times I get so caught up in little things here and there and time goes by - so I grabbed the leash and off we went!! Oscar LOVES walking, tail wagging, so cute!!

He was panting good when we got home - and I will walk him again later when it cools off here.

Here's the awesome part - I got back into my routine Monday with some cardio yesterday, I did My Sexy Butt Program - I thought it would kick my butt after one measly workout last week - Oh don't get me wrong - it was hard but I was happy to know that I have come so far in such a short time!! - Then today I just finished all the Other Body parts, making some scary workout noises - and I FEEL GREAT!!!! The more I do the more energy I get! The more excited I get to keep moving and

Last week I felt sluggish by the end of the day - I could tell my choices in food and not moving - actually slowed me down, sucked my energy from me!!

So I am going to go find something to do - so I'm not sitting here at this computer for a while!! Toodles

Oscar the Dog Getting Fat Because Of Owner!!!

My sister was here with her 2 little girls last week and we had a great time - went to the beach, showed her my great new workout program, she was quite impressed (amazed that I get so much support and menus etc.) and happy for me - she knows I have had a hard time after neck surgery (5 yrs ago!?!)
Anyhoo - my sister is a Veterinarian in North Carolina.
It was in her clinic that I was blessed with my neurotic little friend Oscar!! He was 6 mos. old and had a bad start in life - I was thrilled to get him.

Well, last week my sister informed that my little buddy is getting FAT!
I have thinking about this and she is right - he does not look it to most people and it has been so slow and subtle that I did not see it - JUST LIKE MYSELF!!!!!!
He has been sneaking cat food!! I eat ice-cream!! So - I think it was another wake-up call for myself, I can only blame myself if I don't take care of me or my dog - believe me the results will show one way or another -it can be very sneaky if you are not moving - or you can see results pretty quickly if you JUST GET MOVING!!!!
So here's to my little dog Oscar - my walking partner and my resolve to keep him and myself moving -thanks to Joey Atlas - check out his site!!

How To Handle Family And Not Getting My Workouts!!??

Wow - what a great week I've had with my family!! I really tried not to get frustrated that my routine was upside down - and keeping up the house with little girls and a couple of pets, my sister.....really I have to admit that my frustration is that I think I can be lazy, or that I can be swayed to eat ice-cream when I don't really need to eat it when I am by myself!!
I AM WEAK - there. I know I don't have to be, this week has shown me that I can fall back into a routine that will not help me and WILL NOT get me the results that I know I can achieve with the right routine and eating habits.
I KNOW I CAN BE STRONG, I will use this week as a learning tool and not beat myself up about it. Yay!

Seeing results

Well, I think I need to take my measurements sometime today - I m feeling the results and I think I can see my abs showing!?!
I can't believe how really easy this change has been - easy to stay in bed - not easy going through the day with pain and complaining - no-one wants to hear it - especially me.
I really look forward to getting up and "doing" something, walking, riding, these easy looking but kick butt workouts.
It's been approx. 2 months and I am pain free, not my muscles , they feel the workouts, I mean the deep, joint horrible pain is gone.

Stretches are awesome and very relaxing really. Hope someone else gets what I'm getting.
Toodles, Lorraine

A Work in Progress

Then I found Joey Atlas!!

Tell you more in a little while - I have to help my friend!
