Jumping Jack Palooza

Screen shot 2013-03-25 at 10.04.23 AM

Today for my 43 I did jumping jacks.  However, I thought (rather stupidly) that 43 jumping jacks wasn’t enough.  So I turned it into my own little jumping jack party (or palooza!!).

I did 43 sets of 100 jumping jacks!!!  That would be 4,300 jumping jacks!!!!

I feel quite sure that tomorrow I won’t be able to raise my arms above my head and my upper back will be sore!!!  (I touched my hands at the top – straight arms – on each and every one!)

I know that some people think jumping jacks aren’t a real workout or that they are just part of the warm-up  – but I’m here to tell you – they would be wrong!!!!  This was no joke!!!

This may be TMI but the worst part of all those jumping jacks?? –  I thought I was going to totally pee myself!   (glad running doesn’t do that to me!!)

Chris was off Friday and we decided to get a dehydrator.  I just got an inexpensive one (plus, it was at Bed Bath and Beyond so I had a coupon!!) to try it out.Dehydrator

Yesterday I used it for the first time – squash and zucchini chips.  Super easy – slice the veggies and put them on the trays.Dehydrator

I sprinkled them with just a very small amount of seasoning salt and then let them dry for about 8 hours.Dehydrator

They made nice little chips!!!  Much healthier than my regular potato chips!!!  The only downside – 2 zucchini and 3 squash only made this much:Dehydrated Chips

Better make some more!!!  I think this will be a great way to wean myself off of potato chips!!!  Gonna try out some mangos today.

Happy Monday!!!
