Away Too Long

I haven't posted anything in a while. I have gotten really busy with home life, work, working out and now I have added school back in the mix. Since the last time I was on I've changed my workout plan a little bit. Monday is stairs, Tuesday hip hop, Wednesday rest day, Thursday TurboKick and BodyPump, Friday rest day, Saturday Total Body Conditioning and TurboKick and Sunday swimming. I have been pretty consistent for the most part. In recent weeks I have missed the stairs and swimming, but I plan to get back on routine with some slight changes. Mondays I plan to alternate between the stairs and running the neighborhood and Sundays alternate between swimming and running the neighborhood. I need to do something to shock my body and get the weight off.

Recently I did the Fair Park 5k Urban Dash for the first time and I did pretty good. The race includes obstacle courses. You do not have to complete them, but they are there for added intensity and fun. I did most of them and finished the race in 1 hour and 6 minutes. I now have a goal for next year's race and that is to improve on my time and complete more of the obstacles.

I do think I may have injured my left heel during the race so I have to get it looked at. I have still been doing my workouts though. Until a doctor tells me no I am going to push myself.

I don't know when I'll post next, but I am still here.

Signed,

Committed to the journey

The ShakeDown Reunion...

Hey everybody, I went to my first workout class last night and it was off the chain. I was released by my doctor just in time. My former hip hop instructor came for a visit from California and held what we called The ShakeDown Reunion. I had such an amazing time with him and the crew. I could feel the burn after the first routine was done. This is what happens after being banned from workouts for two weeks lol. Even though I struggled a bit I made it the whole class and it was very intense, but super fun at the same damn time. I loved going through our old routines and he even snuck in a couple of new hot routines, too. I missed seeing the crew together. We all had a blast last night and can't wait for the next one.

Splash Dash 5K

Hey everyone, I completed the Splash Dash 5K. This was my first time doing this particular race and I must say it was a lot of fun and very WET...My youngest son did it with me and we had a good time. I will say that it was a bit of a struggle for me to complete because my lower back was not cooperating, but I finished. There were seven different water activities during the race including LOTS of people with water guns who were having too much fun soaking all the participants. Here are a few pics of us from race day....

South of the Border Loaded Sweet Potato

This one will definitely be modified for me. South-of-the-Border Loaded Sweet Potato   This is a featured recipe taken from The Biggest Loser Quick and Easy Cookbook by Chef Devin Alexander. When I'm cooking for myself, I prepare this potato with medium salsa and it has a nice kick. Feel free to use mild or hot, as many of the contestants do. When it comes to topping the potato with salsa, start out with 1/3 cup of fresh salsa and drain the liquid from it. It will likely only be about 1/4 cup (maybe a bit more) in the end. Note that the toppings won't fit inside the potato - they will spill out over the top, making it even more decadent to eat! 1 (8-ounce) sweet potato 4 ounces extra-lean ground turkey 3/4 teaspoon all-natural salt-free fajita or Southwest seasoning Olive oil spray (propellant free) 1/3 cup fresh salsa, drained (from the refrigerated section)- I will substitute rotel in the place of the salsa. 2 tablespoons jarred all-natural roaste...
