Tell me Tuesday #21

I loved all the Halloween costumes you linked up:)

 I STILL HAVEN'T POSTED OUR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES (sad face)

I have a good reason I promise. I forgot the camera chip, so all pictures were taken with my mother in laws camera...I just need to go download them from her house...So maybe its not a good reason, she lives 30 yards away from us...That is the only thing on my mandatory to-do list today!!

Hope you don't mind a week late Halloween post tomorrow.

I have a TON of features....

THANKFUL

-ten on tuesday
with miss mommy 

TEN things I am thankful for.


NUMBER ONE

 So grateful for this guy. He may not be perfect but 

he is perfect for me. 

NUMBER TWO

 The day we started our family.

NUMBER THREE

Getting to spend the day with this little monster. 

NUMBER FOUR

-my health.. totally something you don't realize you are thankful for tell you don't have it. I am also so thankful for Jayson and Ty's health. Nothing is worse than a sick baby.

NUMBER FIVE

My family. I don't know what I would do or 

where I would be with out them.

I am truly blessed to call my family my best friends. 

NUMBER SIX

-My in laws, I don't think they could be any sweeter. They live about 30 yards away from us and I LOVE IT! It's so great to have family so close. I try to enjoy every minute I can tell we move for grad school.

NUMBER SEVEN

SUU for giving my husband the education he needs to support our family.

NUMBER EIGHT

The gym. That might sound lame but I am a better person the days I work out. I feel better, smile more, have more energy and am more tolerable to be around.

NUMBER NINE 

My blog/blog friends. That's right, I think of you all as friends.

NUMBER TEN 

My faith.  Most importantly, because I wouldn't have any of the above with out it.

Music Mondays(running late)

-music mondays

sonny moore

I was browsing some new blogs I like to follow and I came to Expecting the Unknown  who was participating in music monday at Sugar Blossom. I got so excited when I saw this. I LOVE music. Its constantly on at my house and I love finding new bands/songs that I fall in love with.

This is my first time doing music mondays so forgive me if its not quite right. 

but it is all my opinion so it is what it is! 

 Everyone meet Sonny/Skrillex

yes, he is amazing. 

and his music is amazing.

I first fell in love when he was frontman in "From first to Last"

Then he went solo and I loved him even more. 

I was able to catch a few concerts on the AP tour. 

Danielle asks: 

 does it make a difference to you what the singer in a band looks like? 

No, yes, maybe....I don't know. I don't have a crush on Sonny Moore by any means.

But I love his music and his style fits it. 

On a whole other end of my music love there is George Strait...Nothing like Sonny Moore. 

IN ANY WAY...

but I love him, looks and music. 

he is eye candy:)

Then another fav. Yes, that would be Michael Jackson. Do I love his music? YES! 

His looks? That would be a NO.

So I guess I have to say No looks don't matter when it comes to music, if you got the voice and can rock it, you are all right in my book....being easy on the eyes is just an added bonus! 

 link up:)

MMM#3 What do you like to work out???

Hey there! 

Welcome back to MMM. Our THIRD link up!

To learn more about MMM go HERE. 
 Im also linking up with Workin in out with Wagean.

Last week we entered a healthy recipe. 

I shared healthy ICE CREAM.

MY favorite link up was from Miranda at Aimless Translation.

She shared HEALTHY CHIPS! Made with Kale. 

 I think they rock! Be sure to check out Miranda's post HERE

to learn how to make them yourself!

This week was good for me.I went to the gym Monday through Friday.

Monday:  Arms and Abs. 

Tuesday: Power Pump calss

Wednesday: Training session 

Thursday: Power Pump
Friday: Arms and Back

Can I just say I LOVE the Power Pump class I am taking 

at the gym. It seriously kicks my trash. 

I take it with my baby sister and two great friends.

The instructor is great... always switching things up. 

Which is great because I have been to classes that do the same thing almost every time that equals boredom and muscle memory.

Also the training session was great! My sister just signed up 

and they offer one free session with a personal trainer and they 

said she could bring a friend... she picked me!!

He took us through our weight, body fat percentage, and

we made some realistic goals that we should hit by the next 

month. I HATE weighing on new scales...why is it you always 

weigh more when its at the doctors office or the gym...??

SERIOUSLY annoying.

Anyways we made a realistic goal for me to lose 4lbs. by the end of the month! I think I can handle that!

Then he took us through an INTENSE circuit training. 

Working with light weights but high cardio. 

I seriously was dripping sweat by the end of the work out but

got some great ideas on how to switch up my routine and get 

better results!:)

I am seriously excited Halloween is over..I DO LOVE IT!!! Such a fun time of year.
BUT now all the candy is out of my house!!! I am not a chocolate fan...so that's not the problem....its the gummie things...like DOTS. O my goodness I could eat them all day. 
Most Halloween candy mixes have those little baby boxes of DOTS in them...I could go through ten if I would let myself.  O well I did ok this year. Now its on to Thanksgiving and learning how to monitor that food season....hmmm a smell a challenge....some sort of Thanksgiving support group..haha 

Last weeks challenge was to share your favorite muscle to workout

and some workouts you use to train that area.

 -MY FAVORITE muscle would definitely be my arms/back.
-WHY? I am impatient and I feel I get results the fastest in my arms.

 I will share with you two fast workouts I do at home.

both I do 4sets of 12 

Spider Curls
(thats what i call them)

Best achieved when at a slight incline

Use slow controlled motions

-also try using one arm at a time

Tricep extensions

-you can use one weight holding with both hands

or one weight with one hand (same positioning)


 At the gym this is my FAVORITE!!!

Pull ups
(the kind I can do)
actually anyone can do them...
pull ups sounds hard right
well with this baby you can have it take some
of your weight!

Its a counter weight machine.
Meaning if I weigh 125 and I set it
at 70 lbs. I am only pulling up the
remaining 55lbs of my body weight.

Just as it looks in the picture.
You place both knees on pad, hold on to bars
and pull your remaining weight up and down.

I like to start at 70lbs- meaning I am lifting 55lbs of my weight
and work up to 50lbs-meaning I am lifting the remaining 75lbs.

I love this...hehe

There is SOOOO MANY great workouts out there.
Just google some, or for pinterest fans type in
fitness/workouts/health
or anything related in the search bar
and about a million ideas will come up.


NEXT WEEK
I want to challenge you to  
GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!
thats right... if you work out at home look up a new routine.
try it out and let us know how it went for you

If you work out at the gym a lot try a new class they offer
or one of the machines you are scared of....

like always try it out and report back here next week!!
have fun ladies
