random | Day With KT

Today’s 44 was great for balance work. I did squats with a knee raise.

Start with a dumbbell on one shoulder –

ready - make sure you try to look bored! — ready – make sure you try to look bored!

I did all 44 with the right side and then I moved the dumbbell to my left shoulder and did 44 more.

left side - side view — left side – side view

I love moves that provide some toning/strength work but also add in the balance challenge!!

Today was yet another day of Michelle Bridges. I like the program but I don’t think that I will keep doing it every day – too hard to fit in all of the other workouts I want to do.

Some weeks I feel more scattered than others and some days my brain just runs a million directions – today it is all over the place so I thought it would be a great day for some…..

* Thank you so much for all of the great advice on yesterday’s post!! I feel like I have a plan and way to deal with both issues now!!! (Side note: the first couple actually called early this morning and want to meet me AGAIN this morning to “go over details.” I told them that they can drop the contract and full payment in the mail drop and we can meet next week. I had my day already planned and the payment does not have to be hand delivered – plus, I am not going to invest more time until they actually pay.)

* Yesterday we got all the way to 45 degrees and some of the snow finally started melting!!!

look - you can see the grass!!! (even if it is brown) — look – you can see the grass!!! (even if it is brown)

* I had my yearly physical on Wednesday and my DR filled out this Heart Quiz on me. I WON!!! Well, maybe those were my words and not hers but still she was impressed! My LDL and HDL were both 79 which she said is amazing!! And my cholesterol was 158.

* My office (dining room table – same thing, right?!) is a complete and utter mess all the time!!!

Good thing we eat on our kitchen table!!!

* I’m thinking about starting a Bridal Bootcamp at our venue. It wouldn’t be just for brides but the name is catchier that way!!! I’m still working on details and ideas.

* Valentine’s Day is mostly just another day to me. My husband knows – I would far rather get a “mushy” card from him on some random day “just because” than a card on a day that society has turned into a commercial holiday! (just my personal opinion)

* Do you read the 3 Cheap Runners blog?

You should if you don’t – they always have some great stuff over there! And today, you really should check it out because while they are sunning themselves on the beach in the Dominican (I’m not jealous – much!) – I’m guest posting!!

OK – enough rambling for one day!!

What is something random in your world right now?

Happy Friday!!!

Today’s 43 was one of those that I knew was going to be hard from the first rep!!! I used a step (8″) and did an incline push-up then bear crawled over it and did a decline push-up and bear crawled back to the start.

As a side note – my shirt/short combo are making my butt look exceptionally big today!!! Nice!

Today was a hot, muggy Garage Boot Camp – these 100+ days are keeping it hot all night and into the morning!! We did a repeat workout from last week – the 25 in 1 workout. This is a series of 8 moves, 1 minute to get 25 reps of each. Some of the moves it is easy to get 25 and have a little breather but I set it up so that the last 4 are pretty much straight through!!! We completed 4 rounds so we got 100 reps of each move:

squat jacks
plank jacks
jumping lunges
push-ups
front kick right/back kick left (front/back = 1)
toe touch sit-ups
front kick left/back kick right
hurpees (burpees without a push-up)

This is a fun way to work your entire body and keep your heart rate up!

So, I was planning to do a fun post about all of the great bloggers I’ve met this year but since I was a bum last night and this morning I’m rushing to hit publish, I’m going to save it for later this week!!!

Instead I just have some random thoughts today!!

I finally uploaded some of the band picture from Friday night –

It was so nice that Jordan was on the end – made it easier to get a few pictures!!!

Tonight, Hunter has his 2nd practice for the Youth Philharmonic!!! I’m going to try to make sure that he isn’t late this week. Last week, I didn’t allow enough time and he was a few minutes late – on the way inside he said, “I don’t want to draw attention to myself.” Umm….have you seen yourself?
