~Week (Interval Training) SIX~

Week SIX: May 8-14

Wow! This is my last week of this interval training commitment! I truly feel as though I have taken control of my fitness with ~Whittle Your Middle~ and ~Interval Training~. I am happy that i've been able to find a place of doing this for my health and not just the numbers on a scale. I want to grow old gracefully and since having two children i've learned just how hard you have to work at this thing called life. Remember we create our own happiness so find something that makes you smile regularly :-)

TUE:
Yoga
Body Flow
Yes I did both classes this morning and it felt great! I've been waiting to get the chance to try the Tuesday Power Yoga class and it was a great class but I still just love the Body Flow all around! Craig was off so we took advantage of it being just us for a change and rode our bikes to SeaWorld and enjoyed our time not having to lug around snacks, water, or two kids! We rode almost all of the rides we wouldn't typically be able to do! So much fun
