Make today count

I've been away, doing my thing, living life. Sometimes you just need a break from everything but the very important, so I backed off keeping this up to date (plus it doesn't get much attention when it is updated, so I didn't figure anyone would miss it).

I have made some changes - I'm still working out 4 days a week, and seeing some serious gains from it. My waist is whittling away, little by little, my jeans are getting hard to put on everyday, as my calves and upper legs are gaining muscle. Thank God spring is finally here and the temperatures are getting warmer, I can break out my skirts and dresses. I upgraded my Fitbit from a Zip to a Charge HR, and it has helped motivate me to get moving. Yesterday was one of my best days yet!

I even have dad pumped. He's thanked me several times for coming and keeping him accountable, and he's also seeing gains. Now if we could only get mom down there, too!

A month ago, Grandma went into the hospital for some major surgery, and mom stayed at the hospital with her for a week or so. To try and cheer her up - since she's texting now - we took my "little brother" downstairs to have Bunky workout with us. We took a few photos and sent them to mom, and she said they made her day.

It's like an episode of Oprah up in here. "You get to workout, and you get to workout, and EVERYBODY gets to workout!" We're using two new products to help us out, too - Energize, which tastes like lemon meringue pie, and gives the energy boost to do the workout. Also using Recover, which tastes like chocolate milk and helps heal the muscles a little faster so that the extra few reps done don't make it impossible to move the next day. 

I think that's all for today. I have an upper body workout tonight, and dad's talking about going for a walk on our lunch break, so we can get our steps in. Since I got to reading longer than I meant to last night and got to bed too late, I may have to go for coffee to ensure I can put one foot in front of the other. Happy Tuesday!
