Trying to balance work, part time school and maintaining some kind of sanity is hard. I’ve fallen off the wagon of blogging, working out and trying new meals… lack of sharing with my readers.

I lost my mojo!!!

Last week, a coworker mentioned her trainer is starting up his fitness boot camp, which will take place 3 x a week for an hour for the month.

Heck Yea! I need to some motivation. My fitness vids aren’t looking too appealing and they’ve started to collect dust.

I’m scared my booty is going to be sore after today’s workout….why I’m calling it “booty camp”!

Hopefully this will give me a good kick in the bum!

I’ll share how it all went down later this week.

How do you stay motivated to work out?

I’ve got an addiction to fitness DVDs, they are sitting everywhere around the apartment.  Whenever I visit a store that carries DVDs, the fitness section is the first place I go. 

 So, today I spent a whopping pricey…$2.00.

Exercise TV: 30 Minute Workouts  from the Dollar Tree.

 SWEET DEAL!!

I love 30 minute workouts, they are perfect for morning time during the work week.   So far, I’ve worked out to the one pictured on the left, ”Cardio Burn” and I felt the burn.  Tomorrow morning, I will check out the body toning before heading to work.

Tonight’s Agenda:

• Attempting to fold all the clean clothes
• Write down everything I plan to pack for Chicago
• Pack tomorrow’s lunch
• Get in bed early…we shall see

What’s the latest bargain you’ve found? 

Where’s your secret spot to shop for fitness related items?

  ( I love T.J Maxx, Ross and Burlingtons, and T.J’s has the best Yoga pants!!)

Best way to start a Hump Day is with some strawberry bread.

I’m glad my Mother gave me this break mix to try out!

A reader asked me if 28 Days of Exercise was healthy? I wouldn’t recommend for everyone to try this, especially if your new to fitness. You should always consult a doctor before beginning an exercise program.  You have to know what your body can handle.

My 28 Day Fitness Plan:

• Morning Yoga~  Mon, Wed, Fri
• Cardio~  Mon, Wed, Fri (After work)
• Running~  Tues, Thurs,
• Yoga~  Sat, Sun

My cardio workouts are about 30-45 minutes long. I’m currently doing 30 day Shred, Firm Sculpt and  Tae-bo. Alternating between these workouts, in order to not get bored.

I completely forgot I opened a formspring account weeks ago and I see many bloggers are using it now! So, if you have any questions for me…ask away!
