Starting Over

Well even though I had lost some pounds by eating better and what not, I wasn't really getting the results I wanted just doing my exercises at home. I contemplated going to the gym, but I'm really not a gym person, I'd rather run outside or something like that, but my neighborhood is definately not one I feel safe running in alone. Me and Mark can't go together because our schedules vary so much that it just doesn't work out.
So I went on a search.
I ended up at target in the workout section and I foudn this pilates video, I've heard good things abotu pilates, so I decided to try it. The video was ten bucks and it came with a pilates band (purple btw =D, this may have helped encourage my decision lol), it is a series of 5, 10 minutes workouts, each targeting a different area of the body: lower, upper, abs, total body, and flexibility.
I also treated myself to a new sports bra (sexy hot pink) and workout pants, while I was there to help boost my mood about doing the exercise everyday.
Anyway, I tried it this morning, just the abs one to see how it was going to work out and I LOVE IT. After I get off work tonight I am going to go do the full 50 minute session, but after jsut the first 10 minutes of the abs one, mine were on fiiiire, it felt great.
I really think this will help get the results I want, and I'm still determined to be in the shape I want to be by my birthday =) , also halloween so that the costume I get looks awesome on me!
I found one online that I really like and it's only 30 bucks so thats not too horrible =), Just going to be a girl from the 60's.
On another note, the auction for the forclosed house is tomorrow morning, I'm excited to hear the results from dad, I'll be waiting for his call! And even if the auction falls through, we have 2 other houses that we can put offers in on, that are pretty much move-in ready. So either way I'm hoping we'll be set with one of these houses, I was begining to think we wouldn't ahve a place to live here soon! haha! Naw, mom and dad wouldn't let that happen =D, they love me too much, even though I bug them =P.

79 days left in Rapid City (aka Rapid Shitty) South Dakota.... Florida here I come =D, I miss all my friends UBER much =(!!
Sheila, I will consume your life when you come back, this you can count on, I havn't had a decent shopping buddy since we moved! Mark only tells me that "it's ok" or "I don't like it" and of course all he likes are t-shirts, tank-tops and jeans SO I have a closet full of that..lol, I'm in need of a girl's day out!
 Miss and love yoooooou.
(and everyone else lol)
