No excuses, Give thanks!

I did a few more days of my workout but I was too busy to document it
Then I lost my motivation for it for several reasons
Which after careful consideration, I realized they were all excuses.
Shame on me *bb embarassed face*
Anyways, been going through a lot
But I know it is well with me
School has been really busy, but so far so good
Well ON A HAPPIER NOTE...
Happy Thanksgving everyone
May God give you many more to be grateful for,
Enjoy the day with your fam and friends
I know I am :)

*By the way, JR = Jump Roping
Took a break, drank water and finished up with 500 JR
It hurt like hell and I almost switched up my routine to make it easier on me but I needed to push. No comfy, sissy workout here. IT'S A CHALLENGE!

Day 5

Hey everyone, heres another beatiful day
Woke up and had a breakfast sandwich
Drank some water, grabbed my rope and was about to set out
Dad says, he wants me to wait for the plumber to get here so I could let him in
After waiting 30 mins, I figure this might take a while and I might loose my drive
So I set up the speakers in the backyard, hook them to my BB music player and BOOM!
Stretched, drank more water and got to skippng babayyyyy
So I skip 500 times
Then do a rep of sit-ups
Another 100 jump rope session
Then crunches
Another 100 jumprope session
More crunches
200 more jump roping
Crunches
Then my final 100, and boy did I skip my way
And then I was done.
* Ok so I had to edit yesterdays post because I said I did crunches, well those were actualy
sit-ups. My bad!

Friendship...

What is friendship all about?

Do people know what it is to be a friend or be called one's friend?

Should some people be referred to as acquaintances?

After having a conversation with my Grl this morning

I decided to share with you, the words I spoke to her

She had been upset and felt betrayed by "so called friends"

So I told her (you might find it helpful):

I realized people grow apart

Some of us hold on to it like our lives depend on it

But really its a matter of the heart

Others decide after years of crappy relations

That when its time to go, we just have to go

When you reach out and people don't grab your hand

Put those hands back in your pocket with pride

And if by chance someone grabs your hand right back

Cherish the person for they have seen something in you

Something that screams compatibility

I love my people

And for the fake people out there, I see right through you

For my realists, keep it real!

Friendship has been abused

Nowadays everyone is a friend

Nah men, You are just someone I know

You are my acquaintance

You are my schoolmate

You are a colleague

You are my Bro or Sis in the Lord

But You are not my friend until you earn it!

Day 4

This is prolly my most disorganized workout day

I started off great, pumped

Got dressed and decided to walk to the plaza to buy my jump rope

When I got to party packagers, they had the pack of 8

So I'm thinking what am I gonna do with that many jump ropes

Then I went to Zellers (here comes my distraction)

I ended up buying baby stuff (gifts for friends)

Then I bought a jump rope, cleanser for my face and wrapping stuff for the gifts

Got on the phone with my friend who was a bit upset

Now carrying those bags home, could have been my workout

But I just knew that would be taking the easy way out

So when I got home I did reps of skipping

*I think the rope was shorter than the one I used yesterday, took me a while to adjust

Then I did some ab work

Reps of Sit-ups

*Initially I had posted crunches, but I just realised that what I was doing are actually

SIT-UPS!

And Plank

Now I had never done planks before

So this was a challenge.

I had my Lil bros help me with the workout

My 6 yrs old worked the stopwatch,

While my 13 yr old stepped on my feet for sit-ups

I hope to continue it tomorrow and add other ab workouts

When I have fully adjusted I will start the circuit ab training

*This is when you combine different ab work in one rep

Well thats all folks!

Day 3

So Sunday is my day of rest...

For this reason Monday is my Day 3

Well woke up not really feeling like anything

But once I got up, I knew I just had to work out

I made my green tea, drank it

As I was about to set out, my six yr old bro asked if he can join me

I promised to take him when I was done with my workout

Did a refreshing 40 mins walk/jog

Came back to get my Lil bro (had some more tea)

To my surprise, he had invited a Lil girl in the neighborhood to join us

*Kids these days aye

So all three of us set out, walked, jogged, then walked to the park

When we got there, I let them play while I stretched

I found a jump rope and started skipping (500 times yay me)

wanted to take it home but my Lil bro said that would be "jacking it" Lol

*where did he even learn how to say that

So I decided to put it down and buy my own

I'm back home now, Chilling!

By the way, I tried Vinta Crackers (8 grains and seeds)

Sooooooo good (surprised!)

Day 2

Well another successful workout

Song of the day: Fancy Footwork - Chromeo

I had to use headphones today (Downtown's a different ball game from Brampton where Day 1 took place).

*Btw I forgot to post my song for yesterday (HOT - Inna)

Back to my workout...

It was good

I had a good cardio and flexibility workout early

Went back to sleep then woke up at 10am to take a walk

I had a plum and nectarines before I left the house

It was suppose to be 30 mins but I ended up walking for 40 mins :)

*On my walk I saw an old man who tipped his hat and said goodmorning to me and that made my day. Something about people being genuinely nice to you, I dunno it just brightens my day.

Moving on...

When I got home, I decided to have a dancexercise (dance exercise) Lol

It was way fun and it helps my abs

I took it down, did the fancy footwork, pop locked and dropped it Haha

More nectarines in my mouth hmmmmmmn

I'm loving this challenge

The bf has been supportive :)

ITS A MOVEMENT YALL
