This morning I was driving to work, stuck in traffic, tired and still very sore from this weeks workouts. Thinking of my To-Do list for work, the wedding and personal stuff, realizing it’s only 8:00am and I’m ready to crawl into bed… um, not good. I sip my Green Tea {oh so good!} and at a stop light, reach into my purse for my nail filer… might as well groom my nails while stopped. Digging around in my purse I pull out a piece of paper, open it up and it says:

My sweet little niece left me a note in my purse, without me knowing and let me tell you, it just made my day. “Keep it up. Love Madeleine” talk about encouaging words. She is my little sunshine. When she was younger we always song that song together…

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey, you’ll never know dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.”

and with that… I’ll “Keep it up”

DAYS until “I now pronounce you Mr And Mrs” I can’t wait….

Besides going crazy at work and finalizing wedding plans, I’ve still been able to keep up with working out, and trust me, it is seriously a stress burner and keeps me sane, just ask my Fiance.

I’m ready for the weather to be gorgeous and sunny out (all the time) so I can get my fitness on OUT SIDE. I love when Rod and I actually get to go biking or running on the track at his old high school. Something about being outside is just so refreshing. For now, we have the good ol’ gym and it’s machines…

That isn’t me… yeah I’m not blonde but you get the idea.

One of my favorite classes is Wholyfit and any time I miss just one class, my body can feel it. It’s so good!

I tried KoreXtreme last night, which is basically weights and a lot of stair-stepping… I hurt. I so hurt today, but that good hurt that makes you crave the next class. It’s weird, bizarre and yet you love the sore muscles.
Monday night I’m going to try Zumba, EVERYONE is talking about it. Not kidding. So I’ll let you know how that goes.

Quote from Jillian Michaels newsletter: “Be Proud of Any Success! There’s no such thing as mindless weight loss. You can’t sleep off the pounds or take a miracle pill that burns fat. Losing weight is about making the right choices, every single day, in a variety of different situations. But even if you see the pounds coming off slowly, that doesn’t mean you should throw in the towel. As one teammate explains, this journey may be slow going sometimes, but every milestone counts! “

What are some of your favorite classes or indoor/outdoor actitives?
