Let's get Physical!

Thought I'd start out with this little gem.

I was a little too entertained by our broken  mirror :)

But anyways, I'll get to the point!

Chris and I are trying to be healthier,

starting with how we eat.  We're trying to eat out less

and make more nutritious meals.

I was pretty proud of how this one turned out;

herb crusted pork tenderloin with green beans.

 



We also got some sweet sweatbands

to make us feel more intense.

I know, we're pretty intimidating!

 



We've made a goal to work out every day.

Chris came up with a "fun" little game for some of our workouts.

We each use a deck of cards and assign an exercise

for each suite, like squats or bicep curls or lunges, etc.

Then we draw a card and have to do that number of that certain exercise.

I hate kings :(

 



The other night we totalled everything up and I ended up

doing 83 bicep curls, 107 leg raises, 136 high knees, and 96 lunges.

It's a pretty good way to work out different muscle groups,

plus it goes by quickly since it feels like a game.

 



I want my pre-pregnancy body back!!

 



Here's the chart we made to motivate us.

I am one of those people that has to have a reward for my hard work :)

We developed a sticker system, and both Chris and I

have to work out that day in order to get a sticker.

5 stickers= Mini frosty

10= Frozen yogurt

20= Coldstone

30= Nice meal out

40= Nice meal out plus dessert

 

But of course I don't want to spend my hard earned stickers

on yogurt, I want to save up for a nice meal!

It's working pretty well so far,

it's now been almost two weeks and we haven't missed a day!
