30 Day Shred- Video 2
Excuse my absence, I took a few days off to work on my classroom and look at houses. The first 30 Day Shred video was getting a little easy, so I decided to do the 2nd one today. Oh boy, there was a big jump. I had to start part of the way through because I was getting dizzy! There is a lot more cardio in this one and a lot of pylometrics. I have done that stuff since high school track! But I bet the next time I do it, it will be a little easier.

Mysti's Run 07-29-2011
Workout: 40 Minute Run
Ok Run.
But I am off on vacation for 9 days !!
I had no plans of running while on vacation, but my sister already said she wanted to run some and my mom is all about walking a couple of miles a day now, so looks like I better pack my running shoes. Although it should be interesting where we find to run since our family vacation this year is renting a houseboat for a week. My poor Dad - Always having to put up with three women. :)

Mysti's Run 07-26-2011
Workout: 40 Minute Run
Good Run.
I ran around the track today where it was nice and cool !!
Summer is my favorite time of the year; however, I am kind of ready for Fall and I know I will defiantly be ready at the end of next week / end of my vacation on the lake. Running is to blame for my wish Fall would come faster.

Michelle's 30 Day Shred- Day 4
I squeezed in the workout this morning before taking some boxes to my school. Luckily I didn't have a certain time to be there. However, starting next week morning workouts are going to be non-existent during the week because I'll have to get up so freaking early!
Mysti, are you going to keep up your morning running once school starts??

Michelle's 30 Day Shred- Day 3
Today was Day #3 for the 30 Day Shred. I was really feeling it this morning. Ouch! However, once I started moving around I felt better. I still did the 1st level video. However, tomorrow is that last day it will be on my OnDemand for free, so I'll have to bump up to the next level. I hope it's not too bad. haha! I'm still really enjoying it. I have even been brave enough to do it in front of Michael (mostly because our apartment is so small he doesn't have anywhere else to go!)

Michelle's 30 Day Shred- Day 2

I did the 30 day shred video again today. I was actually a little sore when I woke up this morning. That Jillian doesn't mess around. haha.
Maybe I can keep this up for 30 days straight??

30 Day Shred DVD #1
Since running seems to be out of the question right now, I decided to try out Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. I really enjoyed it and the 20 minutes went by really fast.
Our new apartment is not really in a running friendly area. We live on a really busy street with no sidewalks and on the side of a big hill. There is a treadmill in the teeny-tiny workout room, but I haven't gotten that adventurous yet. So we will see how running goes the next few months. Since I won't be running as much (more than likely) I am going to be trying to watch what I eat a little more. Less sugar and carbs mostly. I'll try to start writing what I eat down and making smart grocery purchases. Even though I was on vacation for a week, I think I did pretty well with my eatting. The two days of moving were a little different, since we had to rely on fast food... but I definitely got in a good workout. It was hard work. I still have bruises from moving the couch, dresser, etc.

Much easier than the last 70 minute run; Slowly building up.

I have been continuing to make small changes on eating healthy on a regular basis. Foods I have regularly been including: fruits, fruit smoothies, salads, baked chips, Subway veggie flat bread when I eat out for lunch, Lunchables with: flat bread sandwich, wheat thins and jello mousse temptations (wonderful !!), can of Dr. Pepper a day at lunch and today I tried a Buddy Fruit for a snack before working out.

Mysti's Run 07-11-2010
Workout: 4 Mile Run
Time: 45 Minutes
Good Run. A little slower pace than normal.
I was glad I was outside by 6:15am, because by 7:00am it was already 81 degrees outside. My goal this morning was to run and be back at the house by 7:15am when John needed to leave for work (6:50am when he has to take Joey). I try to take Joey to the Day Camp as much as possible, because during the summer I often don't leave for work till about 9:30am. I just think 7:10am - 5:30pm is too long of a day; especially for the summer.

Mysti's New Shoes
I have been waiting for the New Balance 880 & 1080 shoe to come out in stores for about two weeks. The employees at the New Balance store in Rogers were a little challenging to work with this time around.
I had gone into the store a couple of weeks ago asking about the new shoes that were already available online and they shared they should be getting them in the follow week. I stopped by this past Tuesday and they had received the shipment; however, had not had time to go through the boxes and the lady said she had no idea what was in the boxes. She stated it would be a day or two; I gave her my name and number and asked her to call me when she knew about the new 880's.
Yesterday (Friday), I was tired of waiting so I returned to the store to notice the boxes had not been touched. I asked the same lady to please look at the invoice from the shipment to find out if the ordered the new 880 or 1080. She looked - nothing, she asked the manager - 880 is not a popular shoes we didn't order it, tired to order them online - nothing. Now the funny part, as she in the back asking her manager to help her with the online order I spotted the new 880 shoe behind the counter in a pile of shoes. As she returns from the back, I state this is the shoe I would like to try on along with the 1080.
The manager also stated at one point that the 759 was the most popular shoe to which I had to share with him that is the shoe I have and the 880 is replacing it this year, thus the same shoe he just stated was not very popular.
Nevertheless...I finally tried on both shoes and decided to buy the 1080; however, I think the coloring on the 880 is so much prettier.

Michelle's Run 7.8.11
Distance: 3 miles (treadmill)
This was my first treadmill run in a while. This past week I hadn't felt like running AT ALL. I did lift arm weights and did some lounges, but no cardio. However, today was the first day in a long time that I wanted to run and then felt good during and after the run. Lately I haven't even had that "Yay I ran and feel great" feeling after runs. I'm not sure what the problem is, but today was different and I'm glad. Of course, next week I will be on vacation, so who knows when I will run again. But that's ok. I am giving myself permission to not feel guilty about missing runs. It just doesn't help me want to run more. I just feel down about myself.
I haven't gained any weight since I stopped running so much.. but I'm sure there is muscling turning to fat. I could tell when I looking in the mirror at the workout room. Ugh!
I definitely should have gone to the beach at the begining of the summer when I was in shape!

Michelle's Workout 7.2.11 (arms)
I did about 30 minutes of arm weights and lunges today up at the weight room.
I saw Bad Teacher yesterday. It was pretty funny and not as vulgar as I expected. I don't really think Cameron Diaz is that pretty in the face.... but I would KILL for her arms. Michael would say they are too manly, but I like toned arms. (I used to have them back in my high school days too... sigh.) I also wouldn't mind having all of her teacher outfits from the movie either.
