Fitness journey update

So I've lost 10lbs total !!!!!! It hasn't been easy but I am honestly enjoying it! I eat well I'm far from hungry which is a drag with most diet and exercise changes. I have started drinking protein shakes which also help with keeping you fuller longer. Chocolate has been by far my favorite shake, but really who doesn't love chocolate and at only 50 calories its a win for me.

As far as exercise goes my new Polar watch has been amazing, yes a little pricey at $90 but well worth the money! I get to see how many calories I burn and most importantly what my heart rate is doing.

I have found that Cardio is my most favorite type of exercise but as in everything if you don't mix it up you get bored. So I came across this work out DVD by Starz Global ...

Girls this is amazing! Cardio in 5 different styles including kickboxing and weights it has everything! and its broken down into 10 minute sections so some days when you are low on time you can still have an awesome work out! Great for us busy moms with kids at our ankles.

Its the little things that make me happy lol. I will keep you updated on my journey to the summer Bikini body.



Everything in this post is my personal opinion and experience, yours may differ its always wise to consult a doctor when starting a new fitness program

Book Description (from Amazon)

Publication Date: March 13, 2012 | Series: Hex Hall (Book 3)

Hailed as “impossible to put down,” the Hex Hall series has both critics and teens cheering. With a winning combination of romance, action, magic and humor, this third volume will leave readers enchanted.

Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.

Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?

My Opinion

I was so excited for this book it became ridiculous how much I loved these characters. Rachel Hawkins Witty personality and humor shines threw in her characters, and this book did not let me down. The story picks up with Sophie having escaped with her life. But not knowing whether any of her friends or studly boyfriend Archer are alive.
Sophie lands in the compound of the Brannicks where she finds herself discovering a few huge family secrets! We meet a number of new characters - Finley, Izzy and Torin... more angst, drama and humor a deadly funny combination, Who all play a role in helping our girl save the world.

Smooches, Drama, underworld visits, hunky boys, ghosts, tears and kick ass fights! This book had it all and I am all for happy endings... even the parental love. This book is definitely a WIN and I am sad to say good bye to these wonderful characters.

Rachel Hawkins is a Class A writer and story teller.

Description
From Amazon

Ever since the death of his shellan, Tohrment has been unrecognizable from the vampire leader he once was. Physically emaciated and heartbroken beyond despair, he has been brought back to the Brotherhood by a self-serving fallen angel. Now, fighting once again with ruthless vengeance, he is unprepared to face a new kind of tragedy.

When Tohr begins to see his beloved in his dreams—trapped in a cold, isolated netherworld far from the peace and tranquillity of the Fade—he turns to the angel in hopes of saving the one he has lost. But because Lassiter tells him he must learn to love another to free his former mate, Tohr knows they are all doomed....

Except then a female with a shadowed history begins to get through to him. Against the backdrop of the raging war with the lessers, and with a new clan of vampires vying for the Blind King’s throne, Tohr struggles between the buried past and a very hot, passion-filled future…but can his heart let go and set all of them free?
