  1. Tricep chair dips, straight leg
  2. push ups on toes

Then a 1 min hang on the pull up bar, then 4 sprints on the treadmill, 1 min each, walking and dancing in between - went 1.13 miles in 15 minutes. Then a good 20 min leg stretch. When I was doing the lying tricep extensions, I tried to do one 25 lb dumbbell, and as I did I lost my grip and dropped it on my face - hit my chin on the right side. I turned over and got on my knees immediately, SO grateful that I didn't drop it on my teeth, I seriously would have knocked them out, so lucky. My chin hurts a bit, we'll see if it's blue tomorrow, but I am blessed, I said a prayer of thanks.

We're going up to a friends cabin tomorrow night and skiing on Monday, then ready to kick it in gear on Tuesday as we get back into the swing of the school year. Oh, and I have 4 cold sores! I've only had them on my bottom right lip, but a few days ago I got one on my top right lip, and now I have them coming in on my bottom right and on my top and bottom on the left side!! Am I stressed out!??! or is it cause I ate junk food over the break? yikes!

Monday - 30 minute walk on treadmill - walked slow, about a 3 mile pace the whole time, went 1.57 miles I think... I'm on day 3 of a water fast so energy was a little low, but I did do a little jog on Run for Cover, cause you can't just walk while listening to that fast song. Ate a salad tonight. I was going to try and go longer, but the family didn't eat up enough of the salad I made. It was delicious -
Tuesday - resistance today, followed and modified an old Kristi Approved workout - week 1 day 1. Per that workout's instructions, I did 15 reps of each exercise, 3 rounds. 15 was harder on most of the upper body things.

Thursday - up at Wolfcreek, no workout, ate too much pizza and some lucky charms cereal. doh
Friday - family went skiing, I loaded the car. so a few flights up and down stairs was all the workout I got today. Ate some sausage, bacon, and eggs at a timeshare presentation this morning. I'm not proud. I think my diet is about to tank for a few days until we're clear of the holiday...
Saturday - busy holiday again. Went to Savior of the World play. Shoveled the driveway a few times again. Just enough snow that I don't want to drive on it, but not enough to get out the snow blower.

Dec 4 - 9

Monday - shoveled the driveway twice!! By myself at 6 am, then Abi came out to help me a little bit at 8 (she's such a good daughter). Then I came in and did five 1 minute sprints with walks to catch my breath on the treadmill in the basement. Water fasted all day. I watched this video and got majorly inspired. I'm not going to enter a sports modeling competition, but this gave me the hope that I can get my abs! And I'm really not that far, especially considering Elle's transformation. Her website here. I can pretend like I'm doing her 9 month transformation too, but I'm like on month 7 with just 2 to go! I can get there! Anyway, super impressed with her results.
Tuesday - no exercise, back is a little sore from shoveling yesterday, but I think that's a good thing. I water-fasted all day, GBOMBS for dinner - stands for Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries, Seeds - eat them every day to keep cancer away! Joel Fuhrman's good advice :)
Wednesday - some handstands and stretching, ate GBOMBS again, I love being vegan this week, nothing unhealthy is tempting to me right now yay
Thursday - I followed this Elle full body workout today as a guideline and added a few low intensity things for myself "Consistency is the key, not intensity!" YES!! I can do that! So I did 3 sets of 10 reps with a brief break between each exercise.
  1. Chest fly on the exercise ball with 2/12 (aka using two 12 lbs dumbbells)
  2. Lying Tricep 2/12 
  3. Bicep burls 2/12
  4. Seated Upward Press 2/12
  5. One arm kick backs 1/10 (one 10 lb dumbbell)
  6. Romanian Dead lifts 2/30
  7. Static Lunge Left foot forward with 2/20
  8. Static Lunge Right 2/20
  9. One arm Rows 1/20
  10. 90 second center plank - did 3 "sets" of that too.
Then, to make up for not moving much yesterday, I did some treadmill cardio too. I wanted to do a 30 min walk like she recommends, but was in a hurry to finish up and get the kids off to school so I decided to do 2 miles, I walked a little and ran a little, ended up doing 2.05 miles in 24:30. I listened to the Killers - Sam's Town is still my treadmill music of choice!
Friday - nice 30 minute walk on the treadmill this morning from 6:30 to 7, walked 1.87 miles
Saturday - nothing
