[Update] run run run as fast as you can!

I have been busy busy!! I am doing daycare again!  I know!  Nuts, so I have been up to my eyes in work on the blogs, blogelina groups, blogging classes, daycare, exercising and what not.  What can I say.  There is only so much time in a day.  So I wanted to show you that I HAVE been active and running around. 

running after the boys.
weeding with the boys.
RUN RUN RUN!!
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!!
Enjoying a sunset on the walk home from a day at the park.
The Moon.
Some more sunset thru the trees. 
I can say that I am down 2Lbs since last time!!! HORAY!!! I have been noticing a major difference in how my clothes fit and I am trying to really focus my workouts on my legs and arms right now.  I have been kinda slacking on working my tummy specifically but I do core yoga movements etc, but no pilates for my abs or any crunches.  I find that I am more vulnerable to the kids if I lie down on my back so I have stopped attempting it.  I think I need to just up my Hoola Hooping on my Wii cause that really burns my tummy!!  I also have a birthday on the 27th so I kinda want to tone up a little bit more so I look extra hot in my outfit that I bought for the night.  I have the leggings, still waiting for the "mini-dress."  I also have to remember to take the time to take a pic of myself in my dirty shirty T-shirt to compare how it fits on my body now.  Soon I promise.  I just have to do laundry and bother to put it on and then I have to remember when I have it on.  If i don't do it fresh from the laundry it is kinda cheating lol.  I promise you'll hear from me again!!! xoxoxoxo

My morning workout!

Now yesterday I touched on what I do on a daily basis when it comes to exercising, but i wanted to show you what my strength training/yoga morning workout looks like step by step.  Now remember if i can do it it clearly isn't that hard and its only about 18 min give or take. 

Lunges, good for your bum, hips and thighs... they BURN so i do them first lol.  You do ten for each leg.

Rowing Squats, virtually impossible to stay inside the "blue area"

The warrior pose, one of my favs!  Really great for toning your thighs says the Wii.

Sun salutation, I can't touch my toes on this still even with doing it everyday but i'm getting close!

{pic}

The Half Moon Pose, another fav of mine.

Torso Twists, I like this one but make sure you're really focusing on your abs otherwise you might as well not be doing it.  If you do it right you'll feel it in your tummy!

{pic}

Sideways leg lifts, really hard to keep a good balance on your Wii board but once you get the hang of it its great!

{pic}

Single leg extension.

{pic}

Downward facing dog to calm a bit and stretch (at least that is why I put it at the end.)

{pic}

Deep Breathing to really cool down.

And THAT is what I do 5/7 days a week in the morning!  Horay for me, it's easy so you beginners give it a try you might just like it too!!
