Aqua Spin With Ryan

Ryan came to Aqua Spin with me today. he likes this class. he came with me all the time last summer! Bronwyns daughter, Elizabeth, came with her today, so we dubbed it 'Bring Your Youngest To Spin Class' day. We had a fun work out!

Aqua Bootcamp

Vicki and I went to a new class today. It was from 8:30-10:00 am at the New River gym. It was a great class. Vicki and I were the only girls. The mermaids, me and Vicki, totally dominated the deep water part of the work out. Vicki dominated the whole class, the little show off. Just kidding. She did totally awesome! I was dying with the land part! The sit ups, squats, and push ups were kicking my booty! And planking alternating with push ups, TOTALLY not my thing! But it was a great class and definitely want to keep doing this class!!!

Aqua Spin With Friends

Aqua Spin was extra fun today with my work friends! It was a little LHS get together! These classes are during the day and so those of us, like my friends pictured here, who work in the schools don't get to go to these classes until school breaks! Bummer there are no evening or weekend aquaspin classes!

20 Pounds Gone!

Vicki has had a rough 7 months! Her surgery last September really did a number on her and than her knee nightmare was another whammy but she has just continued to plug on and work thru the pain and she did it! she set a goal to loose 20 pounds that she aquired thru all the setbacks of not being able to keep to her normal work out routines and the 20 pounds is gone! She is one happy chica!!! Go Vicki!!! Way to never give up even when your body wouldn't let you do what you wanted to do!!!  It would have been sooo easy to just throw in the towel, but she didn't, she hung in there and thru blood, sweat, and tears, literally! She made it! She is back to a happy size 2 or 3 pending who the designer is. 

Evening Cardio After Weights

After our hour pilate class of endless curls with weights i went and did my evening cardio outside. It was gorgeous! so happy to have our cold weather behind us for good i think. Out of nowhere Vicki runs right by me! She left at the end of class and didn't do the leg work out to go get her run in. She was running fast!!!

Outdoor Cardio Tonight

It was sooo nice to do outdoor cardio again! Our warm weather is here and here to stay! Atleast i think so!!! I am willing it to stay and i am packing away all our cold weather clothes anyways! There was this guy coming right at me and for a second i was wondering why he wasn't moving and than i realized it was Ty! He was running right at me with a big grin! Than he was on his way still running.  I cam across this huge puddle on my trail that i had to go around! I wonder how long that will take to dry up? It was nice to be sweating outside again! When we were driving home we drove by the giant puddle and Ty said how it felt so good to run thru it. I laughed and said i went around it.....Ty also said he got lost in the woods when he was running tonight....that kid cracks me up.....  

Working Out With Super Man

This is what happens when we get to our class early.....Ty runs around the room with his mat on his back like Superman! Than he and Vicki were laughing about how they weigh the same and Ty got in some pull ups but decided he had better stop since we do about 5-600 curls with squats with our weights in this class before we hit the floor for abs.....i do love going to the gym with my kids....

Pit Stop At The Gym

Just a beautiful Friday where I didn't have to work and we got a billion things done including a pit stop at the gym to do some cardio and burn some calories!!!

Indoor Hill Climbing With The Boys

While i was hill climbing tonight at the gym the boys were climbing together next to me and later Ryan decided to climb with me! I love that they love coming to the gym with me.  It is a favorite family past time.I know the day will come i am going to be at the gym and none of my kids will be there.....it is going to be really sad to look around and not see their cute little heads bobbing around the gym or their faces looking at me with their cute grins when they are next to me with expressions of c'mon Mom, faster!!! It's going to be a sad, sad day....i can hardly stand the thought of it....I'm glad they come with me all the time now!!! 

Morning Swim

Love starting my mornings in the pool....best way to start the day.....i just worry that i might have forgotten something.....that would not be good, like showing up to work without my shoes, or socks, or bra, or....yeah, get the picture? Other than that, perfect way to start the day!!!! Today i did not forget anything!!!!

Cardio Motivation!

Ryan was giving me some motivation at the gym this morning!!!

Ryan Advances

Ryan is now on the other side challenging himself on the more difficult ones. He loves it and is doing really good at this new sport he has discovered! He climbed until his hands were hurting and his arms were too tired. I'm hoping he doesn't decide he wants to climb real rocks in the great outdoors!!!!

6 Seconds Or Less

Ryan has gotten soo fast on climbing the beginning cable on the rock wall at Lejeune. I think he gets up there in like 6 seconds and than calls down to me, waves, and than does his favorite part of releasing and letting the cable lower him. This is where he warms up first every time before he begins challenging himself on the harder ones.
