Diary of 5 :: Week 3

I am seeing... a very full and busy weekend.  We have a water polo game today, band practice, car wash tomorrow and a funeral, and church on Sunday.  Looking forward to some down time by Sunday night - I hope.

I am hearing...the morning news and they've just announced that singer, Etta James, age 73, has passed away at Riverside Community Hospital from complications of leukemia. I love the song "At Last".  Great wedding song, right??


I am smelling...the coffee brewing downstairs.  I'm surprised that I haven't made a cup yet!

I tasted...an amazing caramel apple on Monday.  I actually keep thinking about it - it was that good. LOL! Toffee Nut caramel apple from the Rocky Mountain chocolate company at Lake Arrowhead Village... Have you ever had an Almond Roca?  That's what it was like.  The apple was perfectly sweet and tart at the same time.  For some reason, they taste better from that shop.  =)
Naomi chose the Mini M&M caramel apple.  Her tastes will mature one day.  =)  Kids choose color and fun  first.  That's okay too, right?  
I am feeling...better since I've started exercising again.  I'm so thankful that my sister, Esther, loved me enough to send me some amazing dvds.  They are from the Biggest Loser and I love them.  I've been doing two of them for about two weeks now.  The first week was killer.  I was so sore - especially my ham strings.  "Oh my hammies!!" was something I was saying a lot.  I am actually more tired now at night and I think if I would give in to that, I'd wake up feeling more rested too.

  1. Do you have to have any equipment to exercise with the biggest loser dvds?

    1. Not really. You do use hand weights, which I'll be getting some 5lb'ers soon, but you don't have to have them. Everyone in the dvd is at a different level and they are the actual people from the Biggest Loser show, so some of them aren't ready to use weights. I have used water bottles on the last two just for some resistance. I really am liking them.

  2. You don't know how good that candy apple looks! I love caramel apples. I haven't had one in ages! and I am so glad you love the dvd's I didn't know how you would like them, some people say they're pretty tough, but I knew you were no weakling :) love you sis and I am truly truly so proud of you. You are the strongest person I know.

    1. Well, they are definitely tough. I was screaming through a squat hold today. We couldn't find the remote for our dvd player downstairs and I have to have it to customize the workouts (another thing I love about the dvds) and I was starting to think it was the Lord's will for me to skip it today. Then Marco says "You could just use the playstation upstairs to do the dvd." =/ Thanks. Haha. I'm glad I did it though!
