Steppin' with Cathe Frederick

I recently bought a step to do some in home work outs with and I have really enjoyed it. I have a friend who is way into it and she inspired me. I am starting out with Cathe Frederick's basic step workout which is about 30 minutes and it is going great! I have been doing it about 2-3 times a week for the past few weeks and I am still sweating like crazy with every workout. She is really good and her dvd comes with the step when you buy it. I look forward to mastering this dvd and then trying out some others she has. Here is a cool website where you can see a clip of the video before buying it. Cathe DVDs

Life Time and More

I finally made lifetime with weight watchers. It feels great to finally be here but it is a lot of work to stay here. I am reworking my schedule so I will have a more set time to exercise and then more time for my other hobbies. I also started working for WW yesterday as a receptionist in training. So far it is overwhelming but good to be on the other side of the desk. I hope all will go well and that I can continue to maintain and enjoy working as a WW team member. I also got a much needed haircut and finally found a salon and stylist I think I like enough to use again. I love my short hair!

BP2

I discovered this great thing from a weight watchers meeting. It is called BP2. It is basically dried peanut butter that doesn't have any of the peanut oils. It is a powder so you can put it in smoothies, hot cocoa, oatmeal, stir fry and many other things. I have tried a few things but my recent favorite is oatmeal.

1/2 cup instant oatmeal
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon PB2
1 cup lowfat milk
1 teaspoon canola oil

I mix all the dry ingredients then add the milk and oil and cook it on high in the microwave about 2-3 minutes or until done. It is really good and tastes like a treat instead of like yucky oatmeal.

I Sewed!

That is right, I sewed. Those who really know me know my Mother is an excellent seamstress and that I really am not. Sure I took as many sewing classes as you could take in High School but I just never truly picked it up. I don't necessarily enjoy it but I do know how to do a little bit.

It all started when I went shopping and found a great pair of pants on sale for less than $10! I had to have them but the only problem was that their were way too long. I quickly told Levi that I could hem them so we should get them. He kind of looked and me funny and said but will you hem them? I told him I would and a few weeks later and a quick trip to Wal-mart for supplies this is what I did. I know it isn't perfect but it really doesn't have to be for what I need them for.

It's My Birthday!

Levi totally surprised me for my birthday and gave me a beautiful bouquet of purple tulips. They are so pretty and since I don't get flowers all that often I had to take a picture. It was a nice surprise. Levi double surprised me with a big birthday card as well. Earlier this month I went on a small shopping spree so that was most of my gift.

Rock Climbing

Levi took me out on my birthday date today since my birthday is on Tuesday and we had a blast! I wanted to go rock climbing and because of a great friend we were able to arrange babysitting in Rockville, MD near Earth Trek. Thanks Luz! We went during open climb where you didn't need to know anything to just go try it out. We did three climbs each and loved every one of them even though I got a little stuck on one of the harder ones. I totally loved it and maybe once we are done with law school we can take a class to become certified so we can do it as a more regular date night. We ended the date at Potbelly's. Mmm...good:)
