Monday Manjoyment!

I suddenly feel like riding in a Jeep. (#client)
I have to go pray now and ask for the removal of unclean thoughts. Amen.
What's UP kittens?? ;-)
I am OFF for two weeks. I don't know how to handle this! I may actually watch more than one episode of the 75 CSI shows I have on my DVR!! Hellz Yea! #YeaIKnowIGetExcitedEasily
So, thank you for all your emails last week about Ryan Reynolds and Scarlet She-Ain't-Yo-Wife-No-More breaking up. Ryan is trying to keep things on the down-lo, so just wait patiently. I'm sure he'll be on my vlog soon.
I am BACK AT IT TODAY KIDS!! Killer workout this morning- I did some old school Cathe Friedrich: High Step Training. I love her two high step videos- because they aren't really a "step" workout (I don't do step. I just DON'T.) and they are a total sweatfest. Also....I noticed that Ms. F has consistently gotten MORE ripped over the year and much leaner....how incredibly awesome is that?? HELLO I don't wanna hear any whining about "I don't have a gym membership" and I don't wanna hear NO whining about "After you hit 30 it's all downhill.....better just accept it....." #FAIL. I'm 41 now and LET ME JUST TELL YOU when I hit 42 ON APRIL 2ND (HINT HINT HINT AMAZON.COM WISH LIST HINT HINT HINT), I will be looking the best EVER. I'll show you all in my vlog- how's THAT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY?
Um Yea. Have you loved Cathe workouts for a while and yet haven't tried this gem? Take a peek:
Her workouts will make you forget about the gym, real quick-like. ;-) And just for comparison- take a peek at some of her latest videos- (STS) and how much leaner she is. This woman rocks.
I'm also still reading and LOVING Tim Ferris' book, Four Hour Body - OMG a ton of you have been asking about it, BUY IT. I can't recommend a book enough. And tomorrow Santa is buying Kelly - Tony Horton's new book. I really should support my future ex-boyfriend you know. Anyway, Sherry and Amy (and her hubby) and I are really doing the Four Hour Body approach. And since I had also just purchased The Primal Blueprint, I compared the "diet" approaches. They are very similar. Both advocate a "clean" eating approach. Both discourage processed/wheat/white/fake foods. Both are against artificial sweeteners. Ferris is anti-dairy (as am I due to tummy issues getting worse) while Primal is ok with moderate use. Ferris is anti-fruit, while Primal says moderate fruit, preferring berries. Both have some form of "cheating" incorporated with Ferris doing a "cheat day" and Primal saying "aim for 80% compliance".
I started reading these books as I'd discovered more and more foods bothering my stomach. Why not use this opportunity to get even MORE healthy and clean with my "diet" (meaning approach to eating, not a DIET with specific rules and amounts and calorie counting and measuring)?? I am doing just that. VERY interesting reading too. I'll keep you posted.
I actually have a coat a lot like this. Do you see how alike Tim and I are? It's a shame he's blinded by that tall skinny blonde wife of his. Whatevs! ;-) Just teasing y'all.
Wow do you see the country drawl coming out of me today? That's what happens- I did LIVE in Pensacola, OK?? We drank SWEET TEA and had BAAHHBEEQUE. ;-)
Wow, there are a lot of thoughts on my mind right now. Especially since.....MR. UPS MAN JUST DELIVERED MY TRX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **
Great Balls of Fire I'm doing a happy dance now!!! WOOT!
Here is my BFF Scott Herman showing some simple TRX workouts.
And if that isn't enough, take a peek below for a little bit more. I heard Amy raving about her TRX workouts with a TRX trainer down by her house....and then I just couldn't stand it. This will be PERFECT for me to take with me when I travel. BOOYA!!!

Now, I really must leave you and head out- I have a dinner to attend tonight and it is supposed to snow in a big way. Fantastic.
Werd. Up. My. Brotha.

I love the TRX Training system - got a taste of it during my boot camp this past month. We connected it to a chain link fence at a HS....................when you get a chance, show us how you will use it connected to a door frame or somewhere in your hotel room...................I am thinking it can take place of the resistance bands when doing P90X at home?
Will do, Sue Ann~ I bought the extra door mount. Stay tuned.
I love that Scott dude...he is pretty easy on the eyes, eh? Ain't no better workout motivation... ;)
Have a good evening kelly!
Okay, I am so jealous of your TRX. I can't wait until the day I can get one...until then, I did order Tony Horton's book - thank you for that newsflash. I'm looking at getting the Four Hour book, too. Maybe I'll actually have enough time too read them over the holiday break. I hope you get to enjoy plenty of time with it during your time off - definitely share what starting out with it is like!
Hi Kelly!
I am just curious, what do you use in your coffee or tea if you are no longer using any sweeteners? I only started cutting out all refined sugar and am using Splenda I finally got used to the taste of it cos I wasn't a fan at the beginning and now you are saying that you cut it out completely, why did you do so and what do you use instead?
I am LOVING Tim Ferris. Day 3 of FHB. Going good. No poundage lost, but none gained. Gonna shift weigh in days to Monday, gonna cheeeeeaaaat on Saturdays! But oddly, when I think about what foods I really want to be bad with, nothing is appealling. Huh? Did I say that outloud. Junk doesnt appeal to me? Oh, and day 2, NO coffee!
Glynis, I have to tell you, I am SO excited to start using this, heck I may even try to take the certification to become a TRX trainer!! ;-) Oh,, and "down time"...as of this week, I have yet to do that. I'm planning on it though!!
Kristi- I know several of my friends that say the same thing about Scott....hehehe ;-)
Sherry-I FEEL THE SAME way about the "bad foods" just a few remaining things that might sound good, but I'm not tortured by the temptation anymore!!
Valentina- right now I'm using one teaspoon (a regular eating spoon not measuring spoon, so it is probably a little more) of REAL SUGAR with my Tassimo cappuccino- which uses real milk. Oddly enough, I can have that dairy without a tummy ache. MY personal preference is to have a little of real sugar- because the rest of my "diet" now is protein, vegetables, some beans and occasional fruit...so I am not ingesting sugar elsewhere...hoping to wean myself off it too. ;-) YOU CAN DO IT!!
I didn't know that Tim has guns like that---yowza!!! I love your Southern drawl coming out, that made me smile :)
Hope you have a safe and happy holiday!
You Too Sweetcakes!! XOXO
