So obviously

I quit with my 200 situps haha. Surprising I know...I'm just tired in the evening and I don't feel like doing it. I walk 3 miles each day and I feel like for now that is enough.

My pet peeve today is people that throw religion into everything. Not everything is a religious ordeal. Do you pray before you poop? I mean really...give it a rest. Yes God knows whether you are going to choose Taco Bell or Subway for lunch, but for the most part I don't think his decision creates your destiny in life.

I also am tired of people who toot their own horns constantly. When you do this and you do end up winning something "big" no one gives a crap. For real. So this is why eventually people don't go on and on and congratulate you. Give up!

Week 2 Day 1

After Friday I was really sore. Today I did Day 1 of Week 2. It wasn't bad at all. Although doing situps with 3 animals in the house sucks. Everytime I raised up the dog was standing there trying to give me "kisses." Haha. The hubby already wussed out and hasn't done it since Day 1. His excuse is that I didn't do it with him. Whatev.

Fruit Pizza

I made this for our preschool graduation/end of year ceremony this weekend. It's a combo of a recipe my mother in law had and one I found online:

1 Package sugar cookie dough (the cook and bake kind)
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Pkg Cream Cheese
Various fruit (blueberries, banana slices, strawberries, kiwi, cherries, etc)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the cookie dough flat on a baking sheet. Cook 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Mix cream cheese (at room temperature or warm in the microwave), sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Spread on the cookie dough. Garnish with various fruits. Slice. Enjoy!

Days 2 & 3

I actually did days 2 and 3 both today. I was sick on Wednesday and yesterday was super busy so I didn't get to make it up then. I wish it worked my lower abs, but hopefully it was tone up the top of my abs. Days 2 and 3 weren't that bad.

Day 1 of 200 Situps

So I've decided that I don't particularly care if people say the 200 situps isn't a good ab workout. Yes I am aware that it only works 1 section of my abs, however I won't stick with any workout video so I'll do what I can.

I started out on week 1, column 3. From the initial test it said I could jump right to week 3, but I didn't want to..haha plain and simple. So I did day 1, easy breezy. I almost didn't do it, but at 9pm I did! I also walked 3 miles today, pushing a 30 pound child in a jogging stroller. Go Me!

200 Sit Ups

So I saw this posted on a message board on www.thenest.com and DH and I are going to do it. It's http://www.twohundredsitups.com . I've been walking 3 miles a day at least 4 days a week now so I think this will be a good addition. It's a M/W/F thing and I plan to stick with it. I'll check in each week here. Maybe someone will actually read it and hopefully it will be my motivation. I really need the workout on my abs.

Breakfast in bed

My wonderful husband made me breakfast in bed this morning. It was only after I suggested it however. I had yummy french toast with fresh strawberries. However we were almost out of syrup so it was a little dry. Not his fault though.

Today my wonderful dog is 9 years old. We've had her since she was like 4 months old and she is defintely my baby. Last night I made her some doggie icecream and I'm waiting for it to thaw a little so it'll slide out of the cup. She's sooo spoiled.

Doggie Ice Cream Recipe (idk where I originally got it)
32 ounces vanilla yogurt
1 mashed banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
Blend all together in food processor or blender and freeze in either 3 ounce paper cups or ice cube trays
