5. I love the journal that I now have from the past 2.5 years!!!
4. I feel like I can be completely me on my blog!!!
3. This might be a weird reason but blogging has helped me become a bit more technically literate. And, introduced me to the fun that is Instagram!!!
2. I take way more pictures than I used to (before blogging)!! In fact, I just cleaned up my iPhoto and deleted 2000+ pictures that weren’t really pictures of anything. I still have about 7000 that I need to organize!!!
1. And, my top reason is definitely all of the incredible people that I’ve gotten to know through blogging. I would start naming all of y’all but I’m afraid I would accidentally leave someone out so I will just say – all of y’all!!!
I started the 43 today thinking I wanted to do some standing ab/core work. The move I picked did work my obliques some (and my core because of the balance involved) but it mostly targeted my hips and outer thighs (which can always use more work!). After the first 10-12 I realized why they were hurting (hydrant kicks yesterday, duh!!!) – OOPS!!! I usually try not to target the same muscle group 2 days in a row with the 1000s of choices I have – oh well!!!
Anyway, back to the 43!! I did a standing leg extension (to the side). I started like this:
start
(the goofy hand pose is mandatory!!). Then I lifted my right leg straight to the side – held a second – and lowered. I tried not to touch the floor between every rep (had to tap it occasionally in order not to fall on my face!).
take the picture already!
After doing 43 with my right leg and really feeling it in both hips, I had to got to switch sides and do another 43 with my left leg.
both sides need to be treated fairly!
(At least I have an awesome T-shirt from the super talented Cait!!!)
Today was a fun work-out day because it involved my favorite (so far anyway!) Les Mills Combat DVD – Combat 60 Ultimate Fighter! I like that the work-out is an hour, it keeps my heart rate up, works legs and arms as well as cardio and the time flies by.
One thing I really like about the the Les Mills Combat program is the motivation and tips they provide. And today at the end of today’s work-out they said – KEEP IT REAL!!!
I love that saying!!! It is one of the sayings I try to live by. With me, what you see is what you get!!! Whether I’m working out, buying groceries, subbing, blogging (my own or commenting on others) or just hanging out with my family = I’m just the same ol’ person! I’m just me!
And on that note – another fun ecard (cause while the card is humorous and a bit extreme, I’m just keeping it real!!!).
Happy Tuesday – keep it real!!!
