Finally hitting the gym today at my apartment complex. I’m not sure how long I will be able to last, but I’m going to at least put forth some effort. I will definitely be staying away from the ellipticals, that’s for sure! I owned one of those for a while and ending up selling it, because I could never get past 2 minutes on the thing. I’ll post an update to let you guys know how it went!
Thanks for stopping by Making Mommy Hot! Have a great day!
I just found out that we have a very nice YMCA facility in our area. So I decided to go online and check out their site. And I couldn’t believe what all they have to offer. For a monthly fee of around $70, I can get us a family membership. I can go anytime during the week and use the facility, whether it be to just workout or attend group exercise classes, and the wonderful thing is they provide free childcare for up to 1 – 1/2 hours while you are there. Also with a membership, you are eligible for discounts on other programs they offer. Summer camps, swimming lessons, group sports, etc. My 5 year old daughter really wants to play Soccer, so I’m thinking of signing her up.
I feel like this will give me that kick in the pants that I need to get my weight loss jump started! No appetite suppressants, fad diets or risky surgery. Just eating healthy and exercising, and I should be on my way!
It came Friday. And last night, I decided that, all by myself, I would attempt to assemble this monstrosity with all four kids hovering about me. Let’s just say….BAD IDEA!! But somehow I accomplished the never-ending task of putting together the very first piece of fitness equipment that I have ever owned in my life. Yeah…I know…that’s sad, but true.
Anyway, with it put together, being that the assembly felt like a workout itself, I decided not to try it for a bit. Then later I got on and attempted to maneuver the thing. Man…I know that I’m overweight…but this was one of the hardest things I’ve tried to do in a long time. Also, I’m only 5 FT tall, and I think my legs may be too short. I’m gonna keep trying, but seriously, I was only able to last maybe a minute or two. I’d love some tips if anyone has any??
Yay!! As a belated Mother’s Day gift, I just ordered a Weslo Elliptical Trainer. Actually, we were waiting for our stimulus check, and it came today, we were so excited! You know…just doing our part to boost the economy. LOL
Here’s the one that I purchased. I’ve read some good reviews, and of course there were a couple out there not so good, but more good than bad, so hopefully it will work out. I’ve got an extended warranty, so in case something happens to it, I’ll have that to fall back on. I just figured it would work better for me to do my workouts at home, rather than going to a gym. Just more convenient. If anyone has any feedback concerning this product, please feel free to leave it in the comments. I’d like to hear anything anyone has to say about it, good or bad.
The other day I was given the opportunity to try some free samples of Propel Fit Water, so I decided to write a review of this wonderful product. First, I want to say, that I love the idea of being able to supplement your diet and your water intake with something that will not only help fulfill your daily requirements of water, but is also full of vitamins and minerals that are essential to any diet.
I received 3 different flavor varieties of the Propel Fit Water. Kiwi Strawberry, Lemon, & Grape. All were VERY good, but I have to say that my favorite was definitely the Kiwi Strawberry. Another thing I love about this water, is that it only has 25 calories per 20 oz serving, that’s the whole bottle folks!
You should definitely check out Propel Fit Water, it has a lot fewer calories than some of the other leading brands of fitness water. Here’s a short video!
