MOVE

     This week has been rather long for me and my family.  Lately my hubby Jon has been picking up extra shifts so its been just me and the three little monkeys.  I decided awhile back, before my 30th birthday to be exact (which was in Oct) that i was tired of saying I want to be able to do that one day.  I decided it was time that the only way I was going to achieve anything I want is to just start doing it.  I don't want to wake up later on and be thinking awe I wish I had done that when I was younger.
          One of things I really what to do is be at my all time best in health and fitness.  I really want to be  able to still be active later on when I am a lot older, still enjoying the beautiful island that I live on.  So I start by telling Jon  I was ready to get moving.  He was really excited we have always been somewhat active, we really love just being at the beach and going on hikes.  We got a membership to the Kroc center, they have a wonderful child watch center so I can easily drop off my little princess and  prince while I go workout.  I usually go while Jonjon my kindergartener is in school so I only have to pay for my two youngers.  I have been going pretty consistly since Oct.  I absolutely love going into the classes that they offer.
       When I saw that there was going to be this challenge I just saw an opportunity to do more.  Its so much fun to see so many other on their own journey to living a fit active life.  The first week is the move week.  On day 1 I had to show one of my favorite way to sweat.  For me is going to spin and Brazillan GAL class.  I recently discovered spin, my bestie from Texas finely came to visit back in Nov and she told me how she likes to go to spin a lot so I just went one day and I just love it.  I really do ended up sweating quite a bit in these classes.
      Day 2 Change it UP!!!! On this day I chose a High intensity Circuit workout!!!  I really felt this workout.  THese are the kind of exercise that my husband really likes to do. I ended up really concentrating on my arms too since I get legs done the previous day.
       Day 3 Get Planking!!!!  I had to to hold plank for 5 mintues on this day!!! I still ended up going to the gym and I went into the Body combat class.  I can't hold plank for 5 whole minutes yet so I ended up breaking it up.  I did High plank for 30s and low plank for 30s, then each side for 30 each then I repeated it. Then low plank and high plank again later on.
         Day 4 Buddy Up!!!!   I really tried to get my friends to come out and workout with me on this day, but unfortunately the two people that I  know would have joined me, were busy.  Jon had to work and Angel had to got out of town.  So it ended up being just me at the gym in my classes but later during the evening I did some yoga with my beautiful babies and Mele my Lab.  They are great at just supporting mommy as I attempt to do so many different yoga poses.
Day 5 Show us your 5 fit Favirotes!! For me these what keeps me moving is my Husband Jon. I want to look good for him and not only that but I want him to be proud of me, he is my #1 supporter.  My Kids keep me moving as well literally. They always having me running, just trying to keep up with them. I want to be a good role model for them. The other things are my running  shoes, just love my nikes!!!! My Ipod mini just because you have to have great music to move to. Then my Yoga mat. Yoga is one of my new loves. I plan to just continue practicing and hopefully get better.
     So loving this challenge and I am ready for the next week.
