Unmotivated

I don't know what went wrong this week but I have been feeling so unmotivated lately.  I haven't been choosing the best foods to eat and I have done ZERO exercise. Not even gone out for a walk for that matter.  I am planning on going to the Network Fitness workout session on Saturday and hopefully I get back in the mood.  It's just been one of those weeks all around where I don't feel like doing much.  My house is a complete mess because they are still working on our driveway/ fences/ landscape and I hate to bust my behind to clean only to see it dirty once I'm done.  There is so much dust and dirt from all the construction and work that is going on you can only image how it gets inside.  And to top it off having dark hard wood floors only make the dirt that more obvious.

In other news, I am venturing or attempting to venture into a new project of mine.  I've had this idea for quite a while (over a year to be exact) and I am finally putting it to play.  What is it you may ask?  A little photography business.  Beautiful Dewdrop Photography. I put an add on craigslist and I got my first client yesterday.  An aspiring actor/model.  We went to the Orange Circle and I took his pictures.  I am pretty satisfied with the result.  I am really excited and hope that this can go somewhere.  When theres a will theres a way right?  I have will so.... I created a business page on Facebook, please like my page, still haven't uploaded any pictures yet but I will get around to it.  I want to get as many photo sessions as possible before I upload the pictures, that way there is not only one session to look at but a couple at least.  I am going to practice mainly with my two beautiful children and wonderful husband for the most part, but if you live around the area I will take your pictures for free weather it be just a family photo shoot or a special event.  I will only charge $25 for the CD that will include 2 of the best poses (for portraits) or of the event.  The $25 will go towards material fees and gas of course.  Wish me luck on this cause' I am really excited :)

Network Fitness

OMG!!! I am so sore!!! I can't believe I actually finished the session.  I'm very proud of myself.  It was very intense but oh so worth it.  I'm thinking about buying some session during the week and still attending the saturday class.  Well here is a bit of a run down of what we did.  After you warm up the group is divided in two "teams".  There are two breakdowns of workouts written down on a white board.  The instructor goes over each work out and the repetitions for each work our.  After everyone is aware of all the workouts on each session team 1 and team 2 flip to choose who wins and decides which session they want to start with.  Once thats done the music starts playing and you start your work out.  After 15 minutes of repeating the session you get a small break, then the teams switch to do the other session.  After another 15 minutes it's over then we take group pictures, stretch and each amazingly delicious fruit.  Ok so here was the breakdown of each session.  (Can't remember exactly the number of repetitions for each, but you'll get the idea):

Session 1:


FWD jump rope X 100
BWD jump rope X 45

Crab Crwal (about 5-7 yards)

Jump on circular rings (about 3 feet apart, both feet in circle)

kayaks X 45

Squats X12

*Keep repeating until the 15 minutes is over

Session 2


10 X 12" box jump w/ burpees

10 X pull body up and have toes touch bar/ pull knees to chest

10 X put fit over head to touch wall/ walk feet up wall

20 X lunges

*Keep repeating until 15 minutes is over

I am not sure of the correct terminology of each exercise so I just named it based on how the exercise was, Sorry...

So anyway, even though it was only for 15 each they were one hell of a workout.  My thighs are completely sore and I can barely sit or stand without whining.  I am really excited about the workouts and I plan on going back, maybe even doing more than just once a week.  For this I have to consult my husband and see what our budget is like.

I also wanted to add that we are going to take up bike riding.  This is something my husband is really motivated in and I am just going to join him on the ride.  I'll keep you posted :)



10 X Burpees

Hiking

On Monday and Tuesday I took both my kids and we went hiking at Oak Canyon Nature Center in Anaheim Hills.  I put my son in his car seat and settle it in on the jogger and off we went.  I didn't think I was going to have a hard time but I did break a sweat.  We stayed on the main trails because most other trails had stairs and it was just way too complicated to get the jogger up them.  We only stayed there for about 30-40 minutes because Ximena wanted to join her brother on the jogger; she started getting tired.  On Tuesday she did last longer though.  Today unfortunately I couldn't take them because I had many errands to run and I wasn't going to have time.  Ximena's last day of summer school was last Friday, this is the primary reason why I decided to go for a hike so we wouldn't be cooped up inside.  Anyway, since Ximena has been with me all day I haven't done my "Get Running" program neither Monday nor yesterday.  Today I did do it, however, I had to do it inside my house.  I kept running around the dinner table, down the hall and turning in my son's room.  When there's a will there's a way right?  I figured since I've gone hiking it's ok if I missed the first two days of the second week.  

On Saturday I am joining my cousin in some exercise program she has been going to for quite a while now.  I've never been but I've heard many "horror" stories jajajaja.  Horror stories I say because they are pretty intense and hard core.  I'm kinda scared I'm not going to lie.  Only because I know I am really out of shape and I just hope I can last.  I will let you know how that went after Saturday.  The best part is that its totally and completely free!!

Lastly I want to add that it seems like I finally got through to my husband :)  Looks like he will be joining me in this new healthy lifestyle I am embarking on.  You don't know how happy I am about that.   I will keep you posted on his progress as well :)
