Let’s Take a Moment to Mourn the Loss…..

I’m sad to say it…….

I loved them.
I treasured them.
They were my pride and joy.

BUT they are gone. :o(

This is the last photo I took with them.
Try to look past the cute bunny to the pretties resting on my face.

 

My treasured sunglasses are gone.
I’m not sure where they went exactly but they are no longer in my possession.

THIS makes me very sad.

I’ve been looking for them for over a week but I think it’s time to say my goodbyes.  

They were expensive but their polarized lenses and sturdy frames were worth every stinking penny!

 

I’m trying to convince Kent that I can NOT shoot outside without them. I pretty much need them to be able to work! ;o)

Kent are you reading this?????

I’ll keep you updated if I get replacements because I know you will be waiting with bated breath!

Let’s have a moment of silence for the loss…….

He Totally Surprised Me

Kent got me good this week! Best surprise EVER and we’ve been together for 11 years so that’s saying a lot! I didn’t see it coming and he played it off perfectly. 

 I’ll try my best to give you’re the short version but you know me……

I got home late from the gym Wednesday night. I just finished a 3 hour workout so I was pooped! I plopped down on the couch and had no plans to move anytime soon.

Kent and I chatted
I filled him in on my workout. He always likes to know what we do in boot camp
He told me about his day. 
You know the usual stuff.

At this point he’s acting totally normal.

He gets up for a second and comes back and says “Did you feed Ninja yet?” I said no and realized it was super late and my poor bunny was probably starving.

I got up to make little Ninja a salad (yes he’s a fancy bunny).

I went into the room where Ninja’s house is and flicked on the light. When I touched the light switch I noticed a piece of paper attached to it.

The note you see below on the left.  

 

How sweet is that? Kent knows I LOVE taking hot baths. Wednesday is my crazy workout day (Ab class, Boxing Boot Camp, and DANCEATON) so I usually take a hot bath Wednesday nights to relax my muscles. 

I was soooo excited!

Side Note: See the chewed up note on the right? Kent’s original plan was to tie his note around Ninja’s neck. Kent said Ninja looked so cute but Ninja had other plans for that piece of paper. I hope it was yummy!  

 

I went upstairs to enjoy my bath and saw this when I walked into room……

Not only was there a piping hot bath waiting for me (he had been adding hot water all night without me knowing to make sure it stayed hot) he cleaned the whole bathroom from top to bottom and had another surprise for me!

See the little blue box?

It’s my wedding band! One of the diamonds fell out shortly after we got married so I’ve only been wearing my engagement ring. He took my wedding band and had the diamond replaced without me knowing. It’s hard to get things past me…..I notice everything!

That my friend was the best surprise ever. I still get giddy when I think about it! He went to so much trouble to pull this whole thing off and had been planning it for weeks! 

Post 3 hour workout, makeup free, drenched in sweat, exhausted, and on cloud nine!

You Tube and Exercise

In my last post I mentioned using You Tube as a tool in your workout routine. If you don’t have a gym membership, are low on funds, and have a hard time getting out of the house to get your workouts in You Tube has your back!

It’s all about NOT MAKING EXCUSES!

Get up early and get it in before the kiddos wake up.
Let your little ones join you.
Do it after everyone goes to bed.
Schedule time for it and write it on your planner!

If there is a will there is a way…right?

Most of my workouts are done at the gym but I do take a few dance breaks throughout the day! When I’m editing photos I can sit my butt for hours which is hard on me (I hate sitting still). Sooooo I love taking a little dance breaks to wake myself up! It also a great way to burn a few calories! 

If you follow me on Twitter you’ve heard all about my dance breaks. Maybe you’ve even taken one with me! Sometimes I just crank up a song with a good beat and get my groove on. I’ll also pull up a clip from one of my favorite You Tube channels and do the routine with them! Below are a few of my favorites.

 

The Sensazao Crew has tons of great cardio dance clips.
Love their stuff because the energy level is pretty high. 

 

Another great one! She has 13 clips in her channel and they are all fabulous but this one is my all time favorite. Do this 3 times in a row and I promise you’ll feel it in your arms and back the next day.

 

A friend of mine introduced me to LB Kass. Her You Tube channel has over 400 clips sooo you will have tons of routines to do! She mainly post clips to teach choreography so if you have a hard time learning steps or are a cardio dance instructor you might find her channel helpful.

 

Also love her Yollet stuff! It’s a mixture of……you guessed it yoga and ballet technique. Great for toning.

 

 

 

I saved the BEST for last! Someone posted the whole Clubland workout DVD on youtube. This is an awesome workout! The routines are fun the energy level is high and she covers cardio and toning! I even looked into buying this DVD I love it so much but it’s hard to find.
