Well I just realized that I promised to keep this blog up and I FAILED! I was so distracted by my busy work schedule that I never posted what was going on! So here we go. I'm restarting the blog.
I recently purchased Insanity, the 60 day workout program. There are specific videos for each day that primarily use Plyometrics and your natural body weight. I'm so excited to finally have the videos! It also came with a nutrional guide. I'll post the recipes as I come upon them :).
I also gave up starches and gluten for lent (basically complex carbs). It's been a week and I'm still struggling! You never realize how dependent you are on breads or processed foods, until you cut them out. I'm considering giving up gluten permenantly! I'm hoping this all will help shed some LBS. Woot!
DAY 1- PLYOMETRIC CARDIO CIRCUIT
This wasn't my favorite workout :(. I had a great workout regardless, but I found myself feeling bored during the 30 second breaks. I'm hoping the next go around, I'll go faster and harder that way I actually appreciate the breaks :).
WHO IS PAXTEN?
Paxten Reede Pearson was the daughter of family friends, Blake and Libby. She was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 9 months and lost her battle on January 29, 2012 (just before her 2nd birthday). Her parents started a journal shortly after she was diagnosed. Their posts were raw, honest, and gave very detailed descriptions on Paxten's treatments, struggles, and recovery. Their journal went viral and touched many hearts throughout the midwest. In February, I wanted to do something for the family that not only showed my support for them, but showed support for current, past, and future patients. In March, I decided to sign-up with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and pledged to raise $10,000 in Paxten's memory.
