It Was A REWARD...Not A RELAPSE!

Let us make something thing clear...We were not hiding. We were not ashamed. We were merely looking for a little peace and quiet to enjoy and savor the moment of chocolatey goodness that followed a two hour volleyball practice!

Shiree Video Blog #2 (Chunky Brewster Chocolate Meltdown)

Ok I'm all better now, but I can't eat chocolate in private.... if I did it wouldn't stop! Plus I get to see what I look like when I binge, and it sure isn't pretty :/ It makes me not want to do that anymore. In this video I just had to vent.

H2O Aerobics...

Last night was our first group attempt at a class. We converged on a local rec center's water aerobic class. Lucky them! You could see the thrill in some of the old broad's eyes as we entered the water. It was overwhelming joy they were experiencing to think they were going to be able to spend the next 60 minutes with us. Yeah, we didn't disappoint. Between our late comers diving in the water mid class, the intermittent yelling and groaning we let out when told to go "level 7 or above," and maybe the most enjoyable part for our other classmates was our inability to keep our thoughts to ourselves as well as our limbs to ourselves while thrashing, we mean moving, about in the deep end. It was some good, good times...

Here is our new friend Jeanie who taught the class. She was a delight. And do you want to hear the biggest shocker of all...She didn't kick us fools out! She invited us to come back again! Booyah!

Dont we look more svelt already?!...

Water Aerobic Power Rangers

Keep Moving Forward...

A post from Kourtni

I have found a sweet way to use the elliptical, I put my laptop up on the table and turn on some Netflix ( I am sooo grateful for netflix since it makes the working out a little less painful. I am taking bragging rights for a moment and telling you all how I burned 681 calories in 45 minutes on the sucker!! GO ME!!!! It felt amazing afterwards and I was able to cheat a little bit and go eat with a friend last night..

The next thing I am going to tell you about is something I use which has helped me so much, it's called www.myfitnesspal.com. It is amazing! You can sign up for free and it helps you track your calories and when you work out. It tells you how you are doing on your goal and it is just simply amazing!!

 I don't have any before shots of me yet but I will put the pictures of  my computer/ellipitcal get up.
