I didn't get up and exercise on my "Rest Day" but I did get up and start cleaning my apartment. I scrubbed my bathroom so squeeky cleen and vacuumed and swept... (i seriously want a swifter)... I washed dishes and started a load of laundry and it's only 7:30 LOL!
So I made a whey chocolate peanutbutter shake and I'm gonna finish up, but had to stop and say good morning :) I'm feeling real good! Still crampy, but good just the same. Especially since my guest is leaving Tuesday and I get my apartment back! Yaaaay~

Tomorrow is Sunday... and day from working out, but I feel like getting some activity on.... I started my cycle and I hate this feeling, but working out takes away the bad cramping! I'm excited about doin Hip Hop Abs Monday, but really hope my "friend" who is "crashing" at my apartment leaves so I can exercise without all th weirdness of her being here... that's just stress I don't need right now....
Monday I'm also starting my Bariatric shakes etc.... I ordered more shakes and entrees from Bariatric Choice... I really wanna do this right and get in the Calories and Protein needed for both Hip Hop Abs and then Insanity.... I also so wanna get that good Jasmine Green Tea Emily got me hooked on years ago. This tea is awesome and doesn't need sweetner!
I'm going to have to rely on green tea during my workouts and after since I don't have the funds now for Recovery.....
I'm also making a crockpot of red beans.... that'll be helpful during the week for some beany goodness :) Okay well I'm watching Dave Chapelle... OMG funny stupid LOL so I'm gonna wind down for the night now :)
Oh yeah I'm also looking for some good shoes for a size 11 women.... any ideas, let me know :)

I've re-newed my love with Beach Body! I've done prelim of Hip Hop Abs the last two days and I'm geared up to go into a set of Hip Hop Abs for the next two weeks followed by Shawn T's Insanity!
Yep I'm scared, but so very excited! I'm drinking a chocolate whey shake and can't wait to start Recovery... everything is just so exciting and I'm going to be blogging a lot more and posting some video and pics soon too....
Some pics may be TMI lol! but I'm trying to document my progress :)
Today I need to clean my apartment... I've had someone staying with me who hasn't done a thing to help me keep the apartment clean grrr! anyway she's leaving so I can get my apartment back in order so I can concentrate on my beach body.
Oh I've also ordered twice again from Bariatric Choice! They're fabulous! I highly recommend them if you're a bariatric patient. From time to time I'll tell you what I think of the products....

Kids LOVE these…and they’re so excited to eat rolled up turkey, they forget to notice the vegetables!
These are quick to make and keep well in the refrigerator for a super easy grab-n-go lunch. You can vary the veggie ingredients to suit your taste or what’s on hand in the fridge…go nuts with other seasonings. Pair them with some soy chips and you’ve got a complete meal that will keep you full for hours!
