Kettlenetics

It really is fun. I look forward to exercising now. What ever it takes, I'm doing it. I like it and I'm going to do it tomorrow if I wake up in time, no... I will. They have a short version. So, I'm glad i bought this or is it borrowing it from the QVC card:) lol I want to be fit and If I die trying, who cares about the credit card. I was happy trying to be healthy.

Cardio Balanced

I did this today. It feels good when I do exercise. I concentrate on what i'm doing and that takes my mind away from thoughts I don't want to have. It went well. My first time. I think I did better then I do Flow Motion. I'm going to work and work at this puppy and be slimmer then I"ve ever been in my life!!! at least I will be, the Tytbody that I know I deserve!!!!

The Begining?

Well, there is no mincing words here. I just got told to go my way and take dates and enjoy myself and to get what I want to make me happy...

As I go through the evening, I am getting good messages to mediate and ask for healing to heal my heart and the heart of those that hurt me. Tonight I will lay still and pray the prayer of protection over my life so that I will not harden my heart. They also talked about this very thing in Church Last week. God must have know, he did know, I was going to need this word for this very situation.

January 27

Still pretty strong with Kettlenetics. Going well. I felt pretty good about the moves today. Still had to slow down twice but that's okay. That means I got in the zone. So I did Flow Motion Basics. :)

Patriots Place

Went to Patriots Place today and it was a good time. Ray took me to Patriots Place to see Gran Torino. It was a very good movie. Had some tough language in there but the point of the movie was great. It happens. I had a good time walking around the stores and eateries. Had good food at CBS Scene Restaurant Bar and Grill. Had who knows how many TVS and big screens up. Awesome place to go. Would go back for the Pizza:)

4 this week

I got it done and it was fun.!!! now that's an improvement.I did Kettlenetics on Friday and realy liked it. I'm keeping this. I have to get rid of Kettlbell Konnection. Too bad more people don't know about this as it's not a good video. Poor production and she won't take it back, that sucks. I'm not getting Amy Bento's kettlebell either. Too many fish want to jump on the wagon and they can't even live on air. lol. Now she doesn't give me a refund I'll be sure to let the exercise vidiots know about her also.

Wednesday Jan 21

yes, I exercised. I did Cobb Salad and the Windmills. I will do these videos like I did the 12 week ETK.Just keep doing the same thing for 8 weeks, then switch up. that makes it better and better.

Today, January 22, I just did some swings. Rest for 30 seconds and did a few more. My internet service was down so I went to Barns and Noble and got connected there. I have to be in the net.. I like getting information and passing some on.

Inauguration Day of President Obama

Well, this is my blog and I can write off the beaten path. I am so happy to have seen this day. I did not ever think there would be a day like today. Yeas ago, we could only dream. Barack, has made that dream come true. I guess I have more hope. Why now, because this is more then someone dying or being born. The world has been white for years and years. The only place to see a Black President would be Nigeria, Haiti, Jamaica etcetera. But America.. Lord thank you. Some may say what's the big deal!!! If it weren't a BIG DEAL, then why on earth was there not a Black Man before him!!! That's why. Let it a a usual thing. It's just beautiful!!!! GOD BLESS HIM like no other president before!!!!!!

I love my journey

It's different, I'm not a nut. I'm not a vidiot and I just want to do it the right way. There are going to be a lot more ways to do kettlebells and I guess, it's what way you want to do them. Some will choose Pavel some will choose who ever is coming down the pike. A lot like religion. Not to say there is one way in religion but if you don't know anything, you'll take anything and not know the difference. For this particular instance, Kb's, there is one way. I see anyone who is an exercise enthusiast, professional or athlete, now wants a piece of Kettbells. Why don't they stay doing what they were doing? Why??? because it is better, it does work and it's not a lot of mess. I did my goal of 4 days this week, I may not have posted them all but I know, my body knows, I did it.

Cobb Salad.
Fun, something I can see picking up to do again.
Most part was learning today. Learning that Figure 8 to Hold getting it back up on the shoulder. Then transition to alternating Clean, then squat. We seem to be doing a lot of squats. Guess, I'm going to begin liking them or getting better at them.

Anyway, before the Cobb Salad I did the Kettleworx for fun. There are moves in there I'll call warm up to the real deal. Just take it for a gay workout.

Any how: Learning the Cobb and look forward to repeating it again and again and again..

I did something today I'm still not very enthusiastic about.. I pre-ordered a video that has not even filmed yet. ya, what's up with that. I was thinking she got training from a legitimate RKC and then to find out, it's still going to be her style. That means, not all RKC with the moves implemented correctly. Oh well, I don't do all mine correct yet but you know what? I do know how to do them, just not fast in a sequence. So, it's practice my dear. Practice, patience, persistence.

Pasta Salad

Way to go Jessica. This is a very very difficult routine even though it's in the beginner Intermediate category. I don't know when I'll do this again or maybe just keep doing it until I get it. Today was the first day for it so, it's okay that I was not sure on my footing. That's because i had to concentrate on what was the next move and being sure the bell was in the right position. I don't know why I get this twingle in my right arm on certain moves. I need to pay more attention to where my arm is so I can pin point it better. I'm just glad so glad that I did it. I know I can do this, but I've got to be patient with myself. I guess, Mine is the only journey to success I'll see so, I have to do it so someone can see it later.

1 Clean, 1 MP, 1 Overhead Lunge to rack to squat. Repeated x 3 each side, then 2 x each side, then once each side, then rest one minute. done for 4 rounds.

There is no Rush

We need to take our time. I need to take my time. The process will happen. Today was just another addition to my journey.

I did:
1 Swing
1 High Pull
1 Snatch 3 x each side for a total of 4 rounds
Then 2 Hand swing with 40 sec rests, rests were step ups on high step for 5 minutes.

It is all so doable.

Tuna Salad

Done today at 6:25. It was really nice because I like Swings, High Pull and Snatches. I will perfect my left arm on the Snatch before moving on. Otherwise, working in small increments works well for me.

Great day today

I did some Kettlebell Worx and it was fun. Oh ya, it can be fun. it is not a kb exercise though but it doesn't have a dread factor. It can be fun. I did that for 1 set and then I did my own Salad from Kettlebell Konnection. I can see how this works and i'm going to make a go of it. I did Tuna Salad today and that was fun. Here is Tuna:
1 Swing
1 High Pull
1 Snatch.Then you do this 3 x. I also added on the Romaine And Cheese. Romaine is 5 Front Squats and the Cheese is 10 Russian Twists. This was one of my goals of last year so you know I did it and Loved it. !!! I love this DVD and I'm making a commitment to work it work it work it. !!!

Kettlebell Konnection

This just arrived today and I did it. I did the Appetizer which consists of ROM exercise. Then I did Simple Salad which is the beginner circuit I imagine as that is what she suggested to do. I got it done. It was pretty quick.

It was:
20 2 hand swings
Jogging in place for their 20 Power Jacks.

I think I need quick as it does not leave a dread in my head. I get it done and can move on. I will ask how often to do this before doing another Salad. All her combos are in Salad names such as Greek,Green, Arugula, etc. Fun and healthy. Lovely choice of routines. There is a lot to chose from here and I can ask her anytime what's next. Also, she has a scripture at her signature. That speaks a lot to me. She also thanks the Lord in the Credits of her video before the humans.

The Vacation Week

so far it's been a great week. Some complaints but that's part of living... ain't it. But. I got a good buy on my looming hooks. Got them on sale at 50% off at AC.More. so the cost was 11+ change.Better than $19.99+. I bought my calcium. I received my Kettlebell Konnection DVD and it is packed. It is loaded, can't get no more in there. The picture quality is not the best but the dvd makes up for that. I know I will use this. She is a bit fast but each day I use it, I'll write how I feel. They are short but powerful. Longer then Power & Grace.
Just ate so won't be doing exercise for at least an hour.

Ist of the year

It's a start and a start all over. How many times do I have to see this starting line:) Should be faded by now.:)
Any how. I got it done. I had to take a shower before I exercised to get in the mood. Maybe I will put this on mood watch to see what motivates me. It's also looking in the mirror and remembering the compliments Steve gives me when he says *hey slim* I love it.

so today I did Iron Core 3 just one circuit. The plan is to do another later on this evening. They say you don't have to do it all at one time. I'm going to use those words today because I sure did not feel like it.

Food and knitting are next on ajenda.

New DVD

Purchased a new DVD today because I need and want to keep using my KB. The price is definitely not as expensive as the others of which I just knew I couldn't do. This is by a lady, RKC and it looks like I can do it without getting board. Some I do and get board but I still do it. I will count this as part of being on goal.

Happy New Year

New Year, new start, new goals.
I just got back from food shopping and ya, I ate a sandwich. Yup, a sandwich, not a good first choice but it was on organic whole wheat bread.
I'm off for a whole week and I'm going to set some goals. That meaning, think about it. Write it down and how to get it done. Right now I just want to sit and knit for awhile and enjoy my freedom of not having to look at the clock for 10 whole days.
