Pigeon Forge....FIRST time!!!

Sorry I've been away for a while.  We just got back from a baseball tournament in Pigeon Forge, TN.  And, believe it or not, that was our first ever trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, Tennessee ever. 

It was a GREAT time.  The weather was HOT, HOT, HOT.  It was in the mid-90's every day.  Luckily for us there was plenty of shade at the ball fields.  Unfortunately for the boys there wasn't any shade on the field but some in the dugout.

We rode some go-carts (they have a few places where you can do that there!!!) and went tubing down a river...good times.  Lots of laughs!!!  Not so much when the tube pops but at least it was a slow leak....

I am vowing to get back on the wagon as it's been about 2 weeks since I've posted and since I've followed my schedule

I really miss my workouts and the overall feeling of health and wellness.  Plus, all the time off has probably put me back into square one.  Oh, well.  Such is life...just gotta get back after it.

Day 31/ 24 Day Weight Loss Challenge

Friday, June 3: Legs & Back + Ab Ripper......................(P90X)
This week I have been bad.  This is the second workout that I've missed.  What a bummer.  It has been a hectic week with school ending and baseball.  That's no excuse, I know.  But I will do better next week! 

On a side note some I'm happy to report that some buddies of mine are going to start the 24 Day Challenge.  I'm super excited that they are interested in improving their health and dropping some weight!! 

What is the 24 day weight loss challenge you ask?  In 24 minutes you'll FEEL the difference....In 24 hours you'll KNOW the difference....In 24 days you'll SEE the difference!!!  It will help you lean out and tone up.  Some other friends of mine have taken the 24 day challenge and have lost 12 pounds in 24 days.  Another friend has lost 2+ pounds after 11 days.

It is broken up into 2 phases.  Phase I is days 1-10.  This is the clense phase.  You are giving your body an "oil change."  You are cleaning out all the impurities and getting your body ready for optimal intake of essential vitamins and nutrients.  What is the "clense?"  It's not a violent or a fast or anything like that.  It is a gentle clensing of the impurities.

Phase II is the Max phase.  This covers days 11-24.  This is where you put into your body the essential nutrients and vitamins and minerals that are necessary for optimal health, wellness and energy!!!

I have personally taken the 24 Day weight loss challenge and can attest to how much MORE energy I had, and still have, and how my appetite was and is much more in control.  I used to grab a Reese's cup or some form of chocolate at about 10:30 in the morning as a "pick me up" to help me get through.  Once I began the 24 Day weight loss challenge I noticed I didn't reach for those empty calories.  I didn't need them....and even better I didn't CRAVE them.

Day 30

Thursday, June 2: Patience "Hummingbird" Yoga.............(One on One Vol. 2 Disc 3)
When I do yoga in the morning I am significantly less flexible than when I do yoga in the afternoons. This routine is growing on me. It is still quite difficult to get through without taking little tiny breaks. As I've progressed the breaks have become fewer and shorter in duration.

I can definitely tell a difference in my flexibility and range of motion. Too bad this flexibility and stretching thing takes so much time and dedication. Why can't I just be flexible and stretchy and loose?  Nope, gotta work at it and bring it!

Day 29

Wednesday, June 1: Just Arms + Ab Ripper...................(One on One Vol. 1 Disc 4)
Unfortunately this workout didn't get accomplished. No excuses...I just flat out didn't do it. Stink on me.
