Dead

First of all, my wireless keyboard is dying.  So... that sucks, just know that if there are misspelled words or letters missing, its not my fault, its the keyboard doing everything it can to make me sound illiterate.  Also, I'm pretty sure I died before as well;  What other reason would I have for not writing on my blog?  I actually lost motivation (say it aint so!!!), and I also let myself believe that because school was starting I didn't have to work out.  That i had an excuse.  So after many months of believing that anything goes (and I was feeling like my 9 months olds diaper filled with yesterdays nanas), I decided to get back to it.  Honestly, I got my motivation back from my friend Tara Sommerville (not Sommerville anymore, definitely had to look up on facebook for her married last name... I'm a good friend right?!?! Don't answer that) Tara Carpenter.  She said that I was her motivation.  How sweet right?  Literally gave me my mojo back.  I didn't know/think I would seriously be anyone's motivation, totally awesome!  But this time around I am doing something different.

Confession:  Insanity is NOT my jam.  In high school I swam and I still love to swim, and that was my cardio, so now that Im doing "dry land" cardio, gah, I hate the sweaty- messy- ness.  So if you've done it you know, you sweat buckets.  Not only that but insanity makes my brain bored.  For some reason I just have too much time to think when I do it, so then I loose focus and dont push as hard and I dont feel the high of pushing through cardio.  I seriously go through the motions with Insanity.

So the something different that I am doing is TurboFire.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I lalala love Chalene Johnson.  She epitomizes everything that I want to be.  She is fun, energetic, a successful business owner, a great mother, wife and friend- plus more.  I gush.  She is the first "celebrity crush(?)" I have ever had.  Seriously, I want to meet her and just follow her around one day.  But Chalene is the -ish, aaaannnd she created TurboKick, TurboJam, TurboFire, PIYO, and Hip Hop Hustle.  Now, I am a work-out-at-home-r, at least right now, so I like me some work out DVD's.  So I do TurboFire, TurboJam is her older DVD series, but the rest are classes you can take at a gym.

TurboFire is like Taebo, but with some dancing involved, and awesome music, and this blonde cheerleader (Chalene).   I also sweat buckets (gross)  but she is peppy and the music helps me to stay on task and its like dancing, so the steps and choreography keep my brain engaged and focused on form, on how hard I am pushing and other things than how much I hurt.  Awesome.  Before, I did Insanity because my hubba-bubba wanted to do it.  He loves Insanity.  I wanted to work out with him, so I did it. Luckily Sadly we lent out our Insanity videos to a friend, so now the only ones we have left are TurboFire.  Wah Wah, now he has to do my workout!  (He doesnt like it because the choreography takes a few times to get it and he feels dumb and whatever).  But I've been having so much fun with Turbo.

Also, life is so much better with Yoga.  I do it everyday.  Love that its a challenge but its so relaxing and it doesn't make me pant like a dog.  But that's for another post, another day.

So here is the start of TurboFire.  I work out while David is at work or school, so I don't have a photographer anymore.  So the pictures are in an area of bad lighting and they just are bad, but until I find a new way to do it this might be the place for a while.  Sorry, not sorry.
