I now have this DVD...

I just got this DVD....

When i blogged about the other one and was looking for a picture of it i ran into this one. I'm all about girls having to work out differently then boys so i had to get this DVD. I bought it off of amazon for pretty cheap and i got it today and i absolutely LOVE it! The main difference with this one is that it has a yoga section and a pilaties section. So today i did speed intervals which in that they have someone doing lower impact which i need right now because i'm so out of shape. the other DVD didn't have that. Then i did Yoga. Love it! Love working out now which is a BIG step! The only problem is now Jared and i are waisting money on our gym memberships. We went for awhile everyday but it just kinda stoped. At least i'm working out.

Last Night

Jared is working a lot these days and yesterday i worked on cleaning the house and i organized the second bedroom AGAIN and i think I'm finally happy with it for now. theres only so many things you can do with suitcases and boxes. now it just feels more open and organized. I work out in that room now so I'm in there more then i use to be so i had to do something about it.




Once i was done with everything and just sitting watching Baby Mama and i was like hey i should do something. I had hung two canvas on the wall in the second bedroom to inspire me to paint. one some of you may know. I started it while jared and i were dating and then never finished it. So i put on a painting movie...(Painting movies=Sabrina, pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility...etc) and finished it! i wasn't too happy with it while i was doing it but i made some changes with what i was doing and i think i like it now. here it is! All you painters out there please be brutally honest... any thing i might need to change or anything.

Looking for a Job

So I'm still looking for a job still. I've been filling out application after application. Most applications these days are done online. Those are the worst. They always have the "questionnaire" section. Seriously its the most stupid section. They ask stupid questions that don't apply to anything to try and figure out your personality and then they ask the same stupid question over and over again only reworded. I just finished Macy's application. No joke there was over 200 questions and they even repeated the same question once or twice not even reworded! What is that?? I'm so frustrated with the job search!

I give up!!

No not the diet. I'm giving up on slimfast bars and switching to special k instead. i was trying to eat my slimfast bar this morning and i couldn't stomach it any longer. When i lived in Thatcher specail k is all i lived off of. I love it! I'll probabl still eat one for lunch just because i have at least 10 more bars left.

Dieting and Exercising

So i have this DVD...

And i love it because it has three levels all in one DVD. I'm obviously on beginner and it kicks my but everytime so i'm working out six days a week... they have schedules of what to do if you work out so many times a week. I do a strength exercise which is abs and big muscle groups every other day and then i do the cardio section which is a low intensity to high intensity workout for 27 min. Thats were I'm having a problem. Basically its nice easy jogging in place for 30 seconds and then jump roping for 30 seconds and it goes back and forth with the high intensity getting mixed up once in a while to like jump squats and jumping jacks. Aerobics at the gym is pretty much the same thing only with dance moves and loud fun music. Theres no music on my DVD. None! just a dude telling me what to do. Why don't i just go to gym classes? for some reason thats hard for me. to get up and get dressed and drive to the gym and look like a fool in front of people is hard for me. SO i need good workout songs stat! anyone have any good ones?

Also another hard thing for me on this diet is the slim fast bars. Kristen had a pretty good eating system from when she was dieting. You eat a slimfast meal bar for breakfast have a snack of 10 baby carrots and 12 wheat thins for lunch have a slimfast meal bar and half a turkey sandwich or small salad and have a snack of 2 T peanuts and raisins and for dinner make pretty much whatever you want just eat less. Not bad right? well the two kinds of slimfast bars that i got aren't that yummy. Kristen what kinds did you eat?

AND Jared and i were out and Jared needed to go to applebees and talk to some people so we decided just to have lunch there so i got half a house salad no cheese or bacon and low fat dressing on the side and a cup of tortilla soup which wasn't bad but when the person next to you is eating fries and a burger its kinda bad.

Oh the joys of dieting! It will all be worth it in the end right?

The race is on!

So you all may know my sister Kristen got second place by losing 27 pounds in her apartment complexes biggest loser. Kristen has always been a workout freak. She loves to work out and she loves to eat. I love to eat and don't love to work out. I don't hate it though so thats a start. Anyway, she came to visit Provo and Jen and I were with her and she started talking about doing the biggest loser with us because she started to slack on her diet after the competition was over. So now we are doing it as sisters and today is the first day! Kristen is pretty dang excited. Jen and i are worried about losing 20 dollars. We all put 20 dollars in and who ever loses the most gets it. The deadline is the family reunion at bear lake!

My starting weight is 158

So good luck to my sisters! We are all going to look smokin hot!

Happy Birthday to...
