Hi Ladies!

OK - I don't want to discuss my sheer laziness in proper workouts over the last few months. I've been trying to get my groove now that I'm a single mom and taking care of my house all by myself. Just gotta say - I LOVE BEING SINGLE AND TAKING CARE OF MY HOUSE ALL BY MYSELF!!!!! I got me a chainsaw (electric, rechargeable - clutz proof of course), love love LOVE mowing the lawn and burning branches, and have even fixed the tractor a couple times myself. The male neighbors are sniffing around a little more than I'd like, and I'm sure WAY more than their wives like. ha ha. But I've been seeing a very nice young man who is a 3rd degree black belt in TKD, so he's got my back if any of those boys get outta line.

I've painted my bedroom and gotten all new bedroom furniture. It looks like a girl's room now and it's awesome. I even have a teddy bear sitting on the pillows. I had a couple months with some insomnia and it miraculously went away when the bedroom was transformed. Cool, huh? That was my NP's suggestion because she was convinced the insomnia was stress induced.

So I have been exercising regularly - TKD several times a week, plus yard work. But that's just not enough to keep the body looking its best. I bought myself an excellent new pair of Ryka for my birthday and have started working on my bottom again. Doing lower body workouts twice a week and have been doing Kick Max. Do you think there are any other cardios that are especially good for a squishy tushy? I pre-ordered STS too - my checking account will NOT be happy! I'm calling that my Christmas present to myself.

All is well with the separation - in case you were wondering. My ex and I are on friendly terms and my daughter is well adjusted. She spends nearly equal time with each of us. My ex is learning how to take care of himself, which is something he should have done 15 years ago.

Hope everyone is well!!!!
 
I'm so glad you're back!!! I've missed you and your posts.

Glad everything is going well with you; I remember you were going through a lot with the separtation.

Please don't stay away so long again!
 
I'm so glad you posted Donna! I'm also glad to hear that things are going so well and that everyone is adjusted to the new situation. (((HUGS))) :)
 
Donna! It's so nice to "see" you! I'm so glad things are working out for you.

And I completely agree--being single & owning your own home ROCKS! :)

How's about Low Max for the rear? And B&G?
 
Low Max! Good suggestion! Yeah, been doing B&G - it's my favorite actually. I love the Fire Walkers and not having to pull out all my equipment.

How's your new house?
 
Donna,

Sounds like you are doing great! Good for you. Glad you are back on the forums, it's great hearing from you again.

The idea is to die young as late as possible.
 
Oh my house is fabulous, thanks for asking! My one year anniversary is Saturday. :) My basement is now a beautiful home gym, & I just ordered a portable a/c unit for it.

I do not, however, cut my own lawn. Nor do I own a chain saw or a tractor. I am impressed. :p

"Squishy tushy". You are so adorable! Is one of your lower body workouts Butts & Guts? If so, I don't think you can do any better than that, if not, go get it!!

Been there. Isn't it amazing how quickly they can learn when they have to?
