TGIF!!! Holy Cow!

I got ready to type this blog post and I'm like, what? That "Quick Update" post wasn't yesterday? There was a whole day in between? GOOD LORD!! I don't even recall yesterday- oh right, I guess I was en route via plan from DC to Chicago yesterday. Then I had to run errands yesterday evening one of them being buying a blasted new Camcorder Battery at Best Buy so I can VLOG~!! Here is the vlog I shot in my room-- stuck in Salt Lake City--on Monday. I went for a killer power walk with walking lunges and some sprints:

YOU KNOW I was tired when I shot that vlog with all that suitcase mess behind me!! LOL I would normally NEVER do that but that Monday morning I was so tired and bitchy, nothing was gonna get in my way. After that video, I had the pleasure of sitting in the hotel lobby for about 10 more hours. OY.

Anyway, TGIF peeps. Today- yes, you heard me whisper it before I even said it, today was swamped, then I had a lovely massage and then I had to come home and submit no less than 6 speaker submissions for a conference later this year. Now it is 9pm and I'm just parking my bootie on my couch. DANG!. 

I am so ready to workout in my house and kick some butt. I feel like I've been gone WAY longer than 5-6 days.....golly. I did really good staying active in Park City. Then Tuesday -Thursday were activity-less, I'm sad to say and DOGGONE IT this is the kind of stuff that makes me so angry with myself--- I will admit that probably this week, after the 48 hours of airport delays and being in 3 cities in less than a week, I was RATHER EXHAUSTED, I was literally crying most of Tuesday out of sheer and utter exhaustion......but, still, I am upset when I look back and say, "Oh yea, two days of no workouts". 

For the future, this continual travel is gonna stop. Period. A whole LOT is going to change in my future- very soon. Stay tuned. 

What is going to change right now, is that ImmaGonnaStopTypinAndGoSittaDownNowOk?

Also- two new workout DVDS I get to try this weekend-- The Butt Bible by Pauline Nordin and Physique 57...yummy. 

This is Pauline. For those of you that have been a fan for a while, she is hardcore MUSCLE. LOVE IT. But what surprised me was to see how on the cover of her DVD, it is soooo obvious that they "softened her up" to market her to a more general fitness audience. Do you agree -- check it out:

That girl does NOT remind me of THIS girl below:

Now, I am sure that many women would prefer to achieve a less conditioned physique, more like the Pauline on the cover of the DVD, but I'm just making an observation. I'm in marketing people, I know how they have to appeal to a bigger audience. If they put Pauline on the cover of a DVD in her glorious muscle beauty, less women would buy it. I admire her both ways, I simply think the difference in the physique is startling. All good though- check out the video demos on the page, the workouts look GREAT!!

Now these are our friends at Physique 57:

Apparently Ms. Ripped Kelly Ripa is a HUGE fan. 

Here is a demo:

I cannot WAIT to try it. I had the Lotte Berk DVDs and the Burr Method DVDs but found myself not using them because they were like 15-20 minute workouts....this one is 57 minutes. (**Full Disclosure the kind folks at Physique 57 sent me this DVD to try out- they did not ask me to review it but I am doing so because I truly cannot wait!)

Also-- check this out- saw on Tumblr today, top healthy breakfast ideas....what are your ideas or favorites?? I'm really trying to branch out and try new combos and ideas!! Gonna DO IT!!


QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you heard of either of these workouts? What are some new workouts you have tried or heard about and want to try?
