{Fitness Friday: T25 Week One}

This week was great! Ryan and I got up every morning (Monday-Friday) and did T25. By Thursday it wasn't even hard to get up. The alarm went off, and I hopped out of bed. I really like the format of T25. Doing something different every day is nice. It is HARD, but it's only 25 minutes. Ryan also noticed yesterday morning how much extra time we seem to have in the morning. Overall, it is great. We have one more workout for this week, and we will be doing that on Sunday. Here is what the layout of a typical week is:

Monday: Cardio
Tuesday: Speed
Wednesday: Total Body
Thursday: Ab Intervals
Friday: Lower Body
Saturday: Cardio
Sunday: Stretch

Usually people do two in a row on Friday, but we decided to do an extra on the weekend. And Sunday is only Stretch, so that should be nice.

Were you active this week?

Until later!

{Fitness Friday: Better + Bonus Museum Exploration!}

I am so much happier reporting this week's results than last week's. It was not perfect, but it was much better. I did end up doing T25 with the kids last Saturday morning. I think that set the tone for me for this week. Ryan and I got up early and did T25 Monday and Tuesday before school. Wednesday was when my cold hit full blast, so we took it easy the rest of the week. I am paranoid about getting pneumonia again after getting it this summer. I ended up sleeping in and going to be early. As I said, it wasn't a perfect week, but it was MUCH better. Three  days more than last week is a definite improvement. My cold is also much better, so I have big hopes for next week.

Dada took the kiddos to the Children's Museum in Fond du Lac today. I will leave you with a video he created documenting this journey :)



Have a great and active weekend!

{Fitness Friday: sad trombone}

This week was a total fitness flop! It was the last week of the semester, so we had exams this week. I was closing out grades, grading late work from students.... I was exhausted. The alarm would go off in the morning, and I would tell myself I would work out that evening instead so I could sleep a little longer. Didn't happen. Night would come and I would be just as tired as I was that am. Sheesh! Anyway, not going to let that discourage me :)

Tomorrow is a new day, and I am hoping to start T25 tomorrow morning with the kids. Ryan will have class, so it will be just the kiddos and Mama. Caden thinks workout DVD's are cool, so I thought I would give it a try. It's only 25 minutes, so if they get bored they can play a game instead. Then Ryan and I are starting the full program on Monday. (Did I mention he twisted his ankle last week? It's still bothering him.)

I hope to have a great update for you next Friday!

I will leave you with some pics from back a couple of weeks. I took the kids to the dentist over break to check out their toothers. They did such great jobs! Lilli even sat on her own and let them use the polishing tool on her! I couldn't believe it. Here are some pics:

I think Caden liked wearing the sunglasses :)

Here is Dr. Michelle Wihlm checking out the teeth.

Lilli was such a good girl.

Each kiddo got a certificate for being in the No Cavity Club.

Have a great weekend! Be active this weekend!
