Spring break-Oh my!

Hello Everyone,

Is it that time already? Spring Break! I remember the old college years when I looked forward to Spring Break all year. I had no problem strutting my stuff in a tiny bikini. Oh how the times have changed. Wearing a tank top gives me anxiety. But I have a good feeling about this year. I've been on the Figure 8 Challenge with Eva and Beth for over a month now and I am feeling stronger than ever. My confidence is slowly rising with every pushup I can do! I am ready to take on those tanktops. Nothing tastes as good as you feel when your at your ideal weight.

Take some time to enjoy yourself today,
Mindy

It feels like summer!

Good Morning Everyone!

If you haven't step outside yet, go now. It feels like spring is just around the corner. I decided to go for a walk with the baby and my dog. We passed a playground and I decided to bring out the kid in me again. I went across the monkey bars, I think I pulled an arm out of the socket, then I hooked my legs over the bar for chin ups and did reverse crunches-I felt the burn. I highly recommend trying the jungle-gym workout. It's fun and different. If anyone has any suggestions on how to do another fun workout let me know. I'm always looking for different ways to change up my routine instead of the old treadmill and weights. My advice for today is take a walk on your lunch break and get some fresh air.
