I had a great day with activity. I think that may be the first time that I hit that targeted caloric burn. Food was good too. I was extra hungry in the evening time after the workout though. So, if you recall, when I saw Grace last week, I asked her about the Bosu ball and she said she would include it this week. Operative word being asked. I asked her if it would hold me and she gave me a funny look. I had visions of popping it but she assured me it was fine and told me that they use them on BL. At first I was really intimidated and even said I couldn't do it. Grace would not take that as an answer so she made me push through it. She had me do 12 squats and also 12 arm curls all the while standing on the ball. She spotted me at first and by the second round of sets I was basically doing it on my own. We also used a Medicine ball which I have never done before either. Next appt. is next Thursday.
My name is Katie J and I am addicted to handbags! (Among other things!) Yesterday at lunch, I decided to go to Hallmark to see if I might find my mom a gift. Well I found lots of stuff for ME but nothing for her. I ended up getting the purse above. I thought it would be great for travel (lots of pockets) and it's summery. When I first saw them, I thought they were Vera Bradley but they are actually designed by Marie Osmond! Isn't it cute? They are on the spendy side just like Vera but the patterns and colors are so appealing. Plus it is washable :-D
Tomorrow my mom and I are going to the Gilroy Outlet Stores. I need new pants like there is no tomorrow. All my pants are at least 2-4 sizes too big. I have been feeling so slouchy in them but it is definitely time. It is going to be in the upper 70s/low 80s here this weekend so it should be a lovely day to shop. Sunday we don't have any concrete plans. I just want to make sure we do something active so I can keep in the groove. Hope you all have a great weekend! Until next time...
I love BOSU! At my old gym they had a 45 minute BOSU class that I absolutely loved - but I agree, in the beginning it is so hard to balance - but by the sixth or seventh class I was able to rock star jumps on it!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that purse has my two favorite colors - blue and yellow! And it does look like a Vera too!
Have fun with your Momma and getting new pants - our weather should be equally as good this weekend!

Sounds like to me that Grace is very good for you Katie. I'm glad she's there giving you that extra push.
ReplyDeleteLove the purse. You kicked A$$ with the exercise!

You asked??? That's fantastic! I've always wanted to try one but was afraid of the same thing you were.

Thanks for checking out my blog. :) How do you like the Body Bugg? Have you used a heart rate monitor (like Polar or Garmin) to compare?
ReplyDeleteYes, Katie, my first time. I'm actually feeling much better. But you're absolutely right. I will see a doctor. I appreciate your concern!
