Weekly Workouts 12/17-12/25

First of all, I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and a Merry Christmas! :) I apologize for the lack of posting... it is just a busy time!

This last week I decided I wasn't going to be too dedicated to working out with holidays and lots of plans and just give myself a break.

Monday 12/17: I had jury duty and ended up being on a jury all day and then had plans with a friend after so no working out... :-/

Tuesday 12/18: I had plans with a friend who I only see a few times a year and work and plans at night so again no exercise besides walking! Oh well...

Wednesday 12/19: I had some time to workout so I ran outside for about 1.3 miles and played some Just Dance 4.

Thursday 12/20: No workout today... giving myself a more relaxed week.

Friday 12/21: Played Just Dance 4 with my friend for about an hour and a half! I call that a good workout. :)

Saturday-Tuesday 12/22-25: I don't recall working out any of these days... very busy with baking, Christmas Eve and Christmas and visiting friends and family. I wanted to give myself a break.

This Week's Workouts 12/10-12/16

Monday 12/10: Rest day. I caught the cold or whatever is going around so I know I needed to rest.

Tuesday 12/11: Still sick but I wanted to do some kind of workout to avoid getting stuck in a no workout slump. I did this Jillian Michael's workout game on the Wii but it sucks. It doesn't really understand your movements and then goes back to the start! So I went on the elliptical for a few minutes too.

Wednesday 12/12: I was feeling a lot better so I decided to go to the gym. I ran for about a mile on the track then did some arm and ab exercises. To see my full workouts or as close as I can track... go to my Fitocracy page!

Thursday 12/13: Walked around the mall for about 2 hours... I count that as a good workout! ;)

Friday 12/14: I got my boy to run with me for about 2 miles outside! We also did sit ups, crunches and a plank.

Saturday 12/15: Went to the gym and ran about 1.5 miles on the track and used the ab crunch machine and pull down machine for arms.

Sunday 12/16: Did 35 minutes of yoga and played some Wii Zumba for about 20 minutes with a friend! :)

This Week's Workouts 12/3-12/9

Monday 12/3: I played Just Dance 4 for about an hour and did yoga for 35 minutes.

Tuesday 12/4: I worked out with my new kettlebell using the video it came with - lots of squats! I bought a 7 lb one. I also did some ab workouts and played Just Dance 4.

Wednesday 12/5: I ran outside for about 25 minutes. I estimate it was about a mile and a half. My running app and music were giving me lots of trouble so I got annoyed and just set it on music. I also did some arm/ab exercises.

Thursday 12/6: I tried a sample workout DVD I got in the mail - I did the power workout, part of the core boot camp and Bollywood dancing for about 25 minutes total. I also played Just Dance 3 for about 40 minutes and did some sit ups.

Friday 12/7: Day off. I had a long, long work day.

Saturday 12/8: Just played some Just Dance 4 for about a half an hour. Wasn't feel that well today but I know a little exercise is good for the immune system.

Sunday 12/9: Another day off for rest.

This Week's Workouts 11/26-12/2

Monday 11/26: Day off. I was crazy busy and stressed and definitely could have used a workout but I did not feel up to it.

Tuesday 11/27: Ran on the treadmill for a mile, played Just Dance (discovered the Just Sweat part of Just Dance 4... great workout!), did some ab workouts.

Wednesday 11/28: Ran outside for 2.7 miles. Brr! Did some ab and arm workouts too.

Thursday 11/29: Played Just Dance 4 Just Sweat version for a little over a half an hour. Also did some sit ups to work on those abs!

Friday 11/30: Day off.

Saturday 12/1: Eek another day off. I did walk a decent amount while shopping! ;)

Sunday 12/2: Bought a 7 lb Kettlebell on Friday so I decided to try some exercises with it that I found on Pinterest. Hoping I didn't hurt my back! I also ran for about 20 minutes on the treadmill and did some ab exercises.

On a similar note, I think I have decided to quit my gym. I don't find myself going there a lot and the final straw was that I got a notice that rates are increasing. It is already a bit more than I can afford and my parents are buying a new treadmill soon also! I think I have everything I need at my house - weights, treadmill, bike, elliptical, workout videos/Wii games, etc. What do you think I should do?

I was looking at the jewelry category. At the start of the auction, they show you pictures of what you're bidding on, give a starting price and shipping price. Then you simply click a button to bid and keep going until you win or decide it is too expensive!

I ended up winning this pretty bracelet for $9 total and these gorgeous earrings for $23 total! Great deals I would say! Some of the items go for cheap and others, like a Coach purse went up pretty quickly! You can also chat with other bidders if you choose. It was pretty fun and definitely a time suck if you have extra money.

As the weather cools down, and the holiday season approaches, those who would normally be single find themselves desiring to be “cuffed” or involved in a relationship. Share your tips on “surviving” (i.e. resisting the social pressure to pair up) or “winning” (finding a special someone) during the holidays.

Having been in a long term relationship for a few years now, I think the key to "winning" or finding someone special is not obsessing about it. For years when I was young, I wanted a boyfriend so badly that I pretty much scared off any guy that actually started to like me. When I was just hanging out with a guy, eventually I kept bugging for that “relationship status” that I think it turned them off, big time. I just wanted it too badly and hoped for romance too much. Live and learn! When I started focusing on myself and my friendships, I was able to attract more guys and the right relationship gradually happened. 

The holidays can be frustrating if you're single even if you want to be. Holiday decorations, lights, mistletoe, presents... they all scream "couple". Don't let that get you down. Be happy for this time in your life, no matter what your relationship status says. If you really want a relationship, use the holidays to your advantage. Participate in traditional holiday activities in your community and attend events that will be crowded, such as a Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Hit up coffee shops and look for people sitting alone or better yet, buy the cute guy behind you a coffee! Another great way to find a new guy or gal is to volunteer. There is so much need for volunteers this holiday season with just about any organization you can think of. What better way to help out your community while meeting new people?

Even if the whole super cute relationship thing doesn’t bloom over the holidays, don’t feel sad. You still have amazing friends and family to buy presents for and hang out with during this magical season! The time will come, I promise! Plus, aren’t summer romances much more fun? ;)

I have a giveaway for you today as well! Enter here for your chance to win some AZO to keep you healthy during the stressful holiday season.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Keep AZO handy during cuffing season! You wouldn’t want a UTI to ruin your new relationship, or get in the way of your fun single life, during the winter months.

AZO is available in two different forms, AZO Cranberry and AZO Urinary Pain Relief.

AZO Cranberry is designed as a preventative tool for chronic UTI sufferers. It helps cleanse the urinary tract and is the only cranberry supplement that provides a clinically proven daily dose of cranberry. AZO Urinary Pain Relief relieves real pain and goes directly to the source of UTI pain, unlike general pain relievers, providing relief within the hour.
