Snow, Superbowl....

We spent about 2 hours outside shoveling all the snow around our cars! but they're all clear.

we went from THIS!

to THIS!!!!

and then we had a bunch of neighbor friends over -- snow was not a problem because all anyone had to do was walk on over! Everyone brought a little something... and we watched the Saints come up from behind, not that it was worrysome at all, but they played BEAUTIFULLY!

That interception was perfect timing!

Snow, mr. weatherman, so you were kidding, but seriously bring summer back ASAP!

yep - there's a whole lotta snow. lovely. I'm staying in.

i will say it's a whole crazy experience compared with living out in the country. living out in the country, you basically are stuck home.

here since we're in the city, we can walk to places if we want to. Which is EXACTLY what my fiance is doing. i think he's crazy cuz that snow's deep! it's deep!

February 5 Workout

let's see i took a page out of the January or February 2010 Women's Health Magazine and did a work out from there. I do sometimes do workouts from the magazines, but half the time, I don't even understand how to do some of the exercises. I'll try to follow it step by step, but then I'm CLUELESS!

But this one I actually could follow, I just modified it to base it on what i had available to me

I did 3 sets of the following
Side to side hops - 20
Skater moves - 20
Reverse Lunge with front kick - 10 each leg
Squat and Row with 60 pound weights from the cable - 15
Chest Press with 40 pound weights on cable - 12 each arm.
Modified Bent Over L-I raise - 5 lbs, - 10 (this was tough!!)
Stability Ball Circle - 8 each direction (this was hard too, I don't even know if i did it correctly)
Ultimate Toe Raises - 20
Push Ups - 12
Crunches on Ball - 30

and rounded it off with 20 minutes on the ellipitical.

February 4 Workout

Yesterday didn't happen due to the snow. and work was delayed. and I was going to go after work, but a friend was in dire need. So I was there for her. and I'm glad i was there for her!

This morning, i got out of bed quickly. No hitting snooze!

40 minutes on the stair stepper, started at 5 then 6, then 7.

15 minutes of abs. then I had to rush to get ready for an appointment at 8.

Tomorrow I'll be at the gym despite the snow that's coming. That might put a crimp in my workout for the weekend. but I might still get a workout due to all the snow that's coming....aghh! snow go away. For real?!

*can't you tell, I really dislike winter!*
