hip hop abs?? & the weekend

I decided to give Hip Hop Abs a try. I like to dance and from watching snippets of the videos, it looks like a lot of fun. I have several different types of workout DVDs…from pilates to yoga…walk off the lbs to buns of steel…I think I have pretty much bought em all. lol Except any type of dance. So I ordered it off of Amazon and got 6 discs for $35. Thats really good considering I went to the actual hip hop abs website,which is a part of Beachbody,and there it was like 2 discs for $60. My youngest wants to do it with me. She’s a dance-aholic too. ;)

Anyone else tried it???

I am working all weekend. Not doing anything for Halloween. I think my youngest is going to the movies and then to a few places with some of her friends. The oldest will chill at home with me. :) There’s not much going on at my house. I have attempted to get along with you know who…..he cant make up his mind what he is doing..saying..etc…

Everything with me is just kinda up in the air. I may be changing jobs within the company. They are looking at moving me back into coding,but the catch is I will be coding for 2 hospitals. They will of course raise my pay & pay me .55 cents a mile. Its worth it. I am just waiting to find out on Monday.

Both of the girls are doing well. Ariel has to stay off her feet for the most part now to keep her ankles & feet from swelling. I told her yesterday,”isnt being pregnant fun?” LOL

Sabian is now in all Pre-AP classes. AP is advanced placement. They have this in junior high to get you ready for AP classes in high school. She was so excited when she found out!

As far as weight loss goes, I lost 1 lb this week. I honestly think I blew it yesterday. I had a good week…great with exericse & eating. Then yesterday it was like someone pressed my I’M SO HUNGRY button. I ate candy with my co-worker….I had M&Ms last night….I had homemade taco salad…no sour cream, but we make it with Doritos and lots of cheese…then at lunch I had fries. :( it was just a bad day. I didnt get to exercise last night. I got in bed late. SO today I am starting it off much better. I made sure I packed only healthy snacks and lots of water. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken for lunch. I cant let one day get me down because it will turn into 2 days…3…4..5.. Gotta keep going!!!

I hope everyone has a safe & happy Halloween. :) I’m off to read some bloggies. ;)

    I love dancing–it is my all time favorite thing to do. However, i’m not into hip hop–though I do have a dvd for it–came with carmen electras strip to be fit dvds or whatever it was called.
    I tell ya–the strip tease–boy I have never laughed so hard while trying to work out–my sister was doing it with me–and I felt sooo stupid trying to copy carmens sexy moves. Though she does seem to be a good teacher. lol.

    Good job with the 1 lb.
    Yep, Kelly is right–lord we all do it–just dust yourself off and keep going.
    Happy Halloween!

    YAy!!! Great job dropping 1 lb!

    I hope you do get the promotion at work. More money is always good. :)

    I watched the infomercial and it looks like a great series. I don’t have it but I’m sure it would be something I would love to workout to.

    I’m so glad to hear you are in better spirits.

    So how was the video??? I bought the box set of carmen electra and it was lame!!! I was sooo disapointed that I spent $35….

    I got a free disk of hip hop abs when I got turbo jam, I haven’t ever tried it though, maybe I will.

    Taco salad could be a food group! We make ours with no cheese, meat (vegetarians), baked tortilla shells and top it with salsa and cottage cheese (once served) YUM! I don’t know how you make yours but we drain and lightly rinse chili beans and then use Dorthy Lynch fat free french dressing (cover beans), they we add a bunch of roman lettuce, tomatoes (canned or fresh if we have them) and if we have the money chopped olives. We use to then add tortilla chips but now we cover tortilla shells in olive oil and bake them. Once served we top with fat free cottage cheese and sometimes salsa VERY GOOD!

    Your taco salad sounds way better than mine!
