It's always good to be creative and turn up your fitness workout every so often. Making it fun and interactive, make your feel more accountable and no so alone when traveling down the fitness journey road. This year, I have a few things going on in the fitness department that will make working out fun. I mean, who wants to go to the gym, just life a bunch of weights, and go home. The people who can do that have more motivation and drive than I do. So here's what I have "signed up for" to keep my fitness level up, keep me motivated, and try to reach new goals. Goals, let's talk about that.....
Goals can be reached with a few small changes in your life. Remember, change won't happen unless you change sometime. For example, small changes in your day may be to drink more water everyday, to go to the gym four times a week, and keep a fitness/food journal. Small changes like these will help you reach an overall goal. Overall goal may be to lost those last few stubborn pounds, to feel healthier, to run a marathon, etc. Could be anything, so be creative in setting goals and making changes today to reach them.
A few small changes that I'm putting into place is to put treadmill running sessions into my workout schedule. For me, when I strength train, I inadvertently put cardio on the back burner, but it's important to add cardio into your weekly workout schedule. Especially when one of my goals is to run a minimum of 8 5k's this year.
So whatever your overall goal is, put small changes into effect today to reach them.

The Search For The Perfect Gym Continues...
My May was a quiet one......not too much going on, what I had scheduled was just predictable social time. Getting caught up on some bills and trying not to spend too much recreational money, so close to paying stuff completely off. I did splurge this weekend and went to the movies to see "Now You See Me", it was an "OK" movie with some action, but I think the cheesy predictable romance portion of it could of been kept out. But, it was just an ok movie and I won't have to see it again. I'll be looking for new movies coming out over the summer.
I bought a domain name over the weekend (yes, another one) and those are never expensive, you just hope to make something out of it that will recoup some of the $14.00 you dropped into buying it. So I'll be playing around with that over the next few months.
Like I said June is here and I have a few things going on to pre-occupy myself. I have a few educational clinics coming up, along with a few free classes at gyms I'm looking into. Over the past few months I've been scoping out different gyms and taking advantage of their "free one class" and "free two week" classes. Every gym has it's promotion going on and I've been hopping around using the promotion to find a gym that fits me and what I'm looking for to suit my fitness needs. Let me stop and explain what I'm looking for so we are all on the same page: I'm looking for a hands on self defense class to learn street level defense moves to protect myself in a dangerous situation. I'm also looking for a class that would keep me fit and in shape. If this is two different gyms, then so be it, but that's the nuggets that I'm looking for. And another thing I've learned by doing this is that when you talk to a gym and they explain (with the best of intentions) that they have what you are "looking for", you still have to take the time to try the free classes to see for yourself and judge for yourself if that class's technique and structure is what you are looking for.
So over the last few months I've been taking advantage of about 7 different gym promotions, STILL not happy with the results of the class. One of the gyms was a CrossFit box gym, I was very excited about the CrossFit frenzy until I saw the trainers were on their cell phones texting and typing something out vigorously and not paying attention to the students form and execution of the exercises, also giving "blow off" answers to any questions the students had to and answer of "Just do what's on the white board". Very disappointment in the attentiveness of the trainers there.
My next free session of classes was at a kickboxing class. I liked this class and their hours fit into my schedule and also the price plan weren't too bad either. The problem? Too far for me to go. Yep, it was way out of the way for me between my job and going home. I would need something on the route home so the search continues.
I found a gym that was convenient to my route home. Great location and offered great classes including the infamous "TRX" class which I was hoping to try out. The guy that hosted my tour and gave me all my info on this gym was nice, but you know those people who "show" off what they know trying to impress you on what they know and when they teach you, it's more talking and less teaching. Well, simple put, the teacher talked more than he trained. I understand that he has to explain it to us, but getting comfortable on the floor to watch him demonstrate it over and over in more of an advance level instead of a beginners level, just wasn't my pace of learning. If that wasn't enough of me the leave, the price sure was because I wasn't paying $145 dollars a month to learn a few basic formatted moves and exercises that wouldn't help me on the street to defend myself. Moving on......
Next stop was at a Martial Arts Kempo school. They were having a two week free trial and I jumped on board to learn what Kempo was all about. Again, this is what I'm talking about when I say talk is nothing compared to what actually happens in class. So Kempo was explained to me verbally and I was showed a few preliminary moves. Then they put me in the class setting. Whoa! Can you say "kid friendly". This program is designed around kids ages 7 years old to 15 years old. There were so older people in the classes and if they liked to be talked to like a 7 years old and do 10 push up (and no more), then the class is coddled for them. It was too elementary for me and the price after the two weeks (which I did use up the entire two week trial) was way too high for my budget coming in at about $42 dollars a week for a 45 minute class twice a week. No thank you, I left after my two week trial.
Next stop was a MMA class, (I thought "Now this is getting exciting!"), so I contacted the MMA school right down the street from my house, I could walk there in 30 minutes. So I stop by and the classes are from 6:30pm to 8pm. Grrrrrrrr, I get out of work at 6:30pm and couldn't make it to class until 7pm on the nose. The teachers said he didn't mind having a class interrupted with a late student due to my circumstances, but I felt funny about it. Walking into a class half way thru and finding a partner to train with and then playing catch up with what I learned the last half hour......I just don't know.....so no. The price wasn't too bad here coming in at $99 a month for unlimited classes. (Note: no morning classes at all). So all there was for me was for me to interrupt classes and play catch up. I'll pass.
Now, this brings me up to where I am now. I've found two gyms that are relatively (no complains on location) close to my work and my home. So far, so good. Each gym (separate gyms) are offering a one class for free which I will be going to one of the gym's free classes on this coming Thursday 7pm to 7:50pm. Did you get that: 7pm to 7:50pm - I can do that!! And also the price isn't too bad either sitting at $85 dollars a month for unlimited classes. The other gym closer to my house is all about self defense (as they put it "on a street level") but I don't know the hours of the classes yet nor do I know the price of the classes to continue after the one free class. I did email them today to find out this information, I'm hoping to hear back from them sometime this week or I'll be stopping by and paying a visit on the way home from work. Both of their websites looked like women friendly and encourage no experienced students to sign up, that's a plus :)
So my quest for the perfect gym is still underway and we will see what this week brings to the table. Have a good night, I'll be back to update you! :)

Reporting In On My Last Three Days
Hi! It's been a couple of days since my last posting......let's see here.....first off, Jake got his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate in the mail. So, I went to the store and bought a frame for that. Of course, when I got the certificate, it came with a brochure of all kinds of Canine Good Citizen's pet tags, leashes, etc. So, I ordered a small silver tag for his collar with his name on it.......he's doing super good.......and he deserves a trip to PetCo real soon. :)My classes are done for this year.....they will start back up next year, so my schedule right now has opened up a tad......my walking group is still 3 times a week.....rain is coming for the next two days, so I'll end up going to the gym on the treadmill instead of walking outside. I hate wet sneakers LOL! I went to the gym this morning to watch the Dr. Oz show......I like going to the gym when there is a good TV show, it keeps me there double the time I would of stayed without a workout distractor :)
Last night's poker tournament was okay........I lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes coming in at 12th out of 30th for the second week in a row. Just can't seem to jump into that top 10 yet......but it's so much fun. I would say that out of 30 players, there are only 4 women playing (including me). I will continue my quest to gain card playing experience and, of course, feed my social interaction. :)
The Manchester Young Professionals Network has a "Power Lunch" class on Wordpress on Thursday from noon to 1. The class looks pretty basic for people who want to start a blog on Wordpress, but I still want to attend to see if there are any Wordpress advanced topics that might come up in discussion and it might lead to other networking events that I might be interested in (and it's free) :)
Other than that, it will be a quiet week and thru the rainy days ahead I will hang out with Jake and go to the gym. I'll be back to bug you again. Have a great night! :)

Quiet Sunday and Monday
Hello! It's been a quiet Sunday....the most action I encountered was going out for pizza with my Mom, Sister, and Brother-In-Law. This weekend was their 10 year anniversary and they decided to go (somewhere, not sure, maybe Laconia) to try gliding. Like those gliding planes you soar with the wind. Certainly something I would never do. Not that I'm afraid of heights, but I get motion sickness easily. So anyways, at the pizza place, they told us all about it......I stole a picture from my sister's facebook account to show you what it looks like.....a plane with a motor pulls the glider up, up, up to 5,000 feet and then the person in the glider lets go of the tether cord to the motored plane and glides......hang on, let me get that facebook picture.....
So anyways, like I said, this is something I would never do in a million years. Especially for a price of $150 per person for a half hour of gliding......I got better things to spend my money on than to fly with the birds.......
Monday was low keyed too. But you will be proud of me, I did make it to the gym and worked out on two machines, one was the treadmill for 1 mile.....somehow I just can't make it to the two mile mark......and the second machine tried to kill me within 10 minutes.......I'm going to try to find a picture of this exercise machine on the internet........grrrrr....I can't find the picture online.....I'm sure it's a brand new equipment they just developed this year, but it's similar to this one.......
This machine (actually this one picture is extremely the same one), anyways, the lowest time you can punch into this machine (the one I used had an electronic dashboard to put your weight, age, distance, how long do you want to go till you heartbeat is thru the roof!!!) Anyways, the lowest time you can do this for (according to the dashboard minimum time limit) is 10 minute. So I was thinking, "Okay, 10 minutes on this, I've never tried it, what could go wrong?" The "what could go wrong" on a exercise machine that I've never tried before was my first mistake. UGH. I did it....the full 10 minutes, and not only was I working up a solid sweat, but the heart beat monitor said my heart rate was at 172 beats per minute!!!! And no, it wasn't wrong. It tried to kill me. After 10 minutes, I looked at the lady next to me (sweaty lady on the same machine next to me) and said, "Holy Moly, 10 minutes on this really kicks your butt!!!" She smiled at me and kept "stepping" away like it was no biggie, or maybe she felt sorry for me, or maybe she was laughing inside at me. Either way, I'm definitely going to try that machine again, I loved it! It burned 550 calories per hour. I'll never make it an hour. Might as well call the paramedics on the push of the "GO" button, but it really burned some calories. So I would definitely classify this machine as a love/hate relationship! LOL!
Okay, moving on, tonight we brought Jake to the park so he can run around. I gave him a semi-bath today. A semi-bath is soap on the paws but just water on the rest of the body to cool him down but I didn't want to soap him up since he has a Doggie Spa appointment on Wednesday at 8am (WHO the hell made THAT appointment at THAT unrealistic time!!!) But I'll try to get him there on time cause I like the owner of the shop to work on Jake and not her assistant and the owner usually works in the morning, so I have to tweak my sleeping schedule to accommodate Jake's Doggie Spa appointment. Sigh......
Other than that.....it was a good day. I'll sign off for now and I'll bug you tomorrow! :) Have a good night! :)

Summer Concert Series
Hi! I did quite a bit today for not having anything planned. When I woke up this morning I had my typical raisin english muffins which always starts my day on a good note. During the morning I didn't do too much, just watch TV, bring Jake downstairs to do his duty, routine habits. Come lunch time, my Dad suggested we go to the Aloha restaurant, it's a Chinese food restaurant not far from where we live, probably takes about 15 minutes to get there, it's located in the same city we live in so it's not far at all. And of course, when we got our bill, I asked for an extra fortune cookie for my puppy waiting at home. So I gave Jake his fortune cookie which half of them never make any sense at all........
So this after noon after dinner, my Mom and I went to the Planet Fitness gym. I spent 20 minutes on the treadmill and used the circuit machines to target a majority of the muscles in my body. It was a good work out and I'll go back again tomorrow.
This evening Manchester was having a Summer Concert at Veteran Park on Elm Street, so we packed up the pooch and headed over there and checked it out. It wasn't too bad at all.......
So that was alot of fun, especially in this nice weather. They had quiet alot of people there. I liked it and I would go back again.
After we left there we stopped by the PSNH Amoskeag Overlook area, this is in a very local area and took a couple of minutes to stop by and sight see.....this is over off Commercial Street, by the PSNH building.....
So after this field trip we headed home and now I'm on the sofa relaxing.......I had a good time today and, you know me, I will be back tomorrow. OH, and all these picture were taken with my new camera! :)
 |
| "What is that??" |
 |
| "Okay, I'll sniff it" |
 |
| "Hmmmm, what does that say?" |
 |
| It says "The years teach much which the days never know" Booooooring!!! |
 |
| "I'll go back to licking my paw and hope this thing next to me will disappear" |

Fun Day - Stayed Local
Hello! Well today was a good day once it got started. It seemed like I had woke up at 6:30pm to do my bathroom duties, and then went back to bed. Then at 9am I woke up, toasted some raisin english muffins, ate them, and went back to bed. Then at noon, I woke up again. Weird. I was feeling okay, just couldn't stay away from that bed for some reason. Jake slept in late with me too, cause when I woke up at noon, he was laying next to me. Mom got home from work at 1:30 so it all worked out and I got plenty of time to get ready to start my day (or what was left of it).My Mom and I went to Planet Fitness down the street from me and signed up for a membership for each of us. It was $9 dollars down and $10 a month which I can't complain. I have a Gold's Gym membership which I do like. Gold's Gym is way different than Planet Fitness. They each offer totally different amenities. Gold's Gym has group classes which Planet Fitness and Planet Fitness has smaller classes for training sessions. I got some pictures........
So that was fun and I really enjoyed that gym. There's a Subway next door (how convenience that we had lunch at before we did our work out.
Oh, Did you want to see my new tires that I bought yesterday!! Those cost me a pretty penny, but the car runs better than ever and it's all about safety first! :) And it passed inspection with flying colors.
Today we also went for a bicycle ride with Jake and my Dad! We went around the neighborhood and it was super easy......do you know why......cause our bicycles are errrrrrrrr.....I guess you can called them "Hybrids" Haha!! Yep, they have an electric motor on the back side of the bicycle that will help you move along I'll show you.......(Yeah, I got my new camera out now!) :)
First I want to explain a little technology behind these bicycles. These bicycles are equipped with a TAG and PAS system in which users can select between two modes.
The TAG (Twist And Go) requires no pedalling at all. A simple twist of the throttle and the bicycle goes. Twist further for higher speed, less for lower speed. It's the most basic technology, easy to use and understand.
The PAS (Pedal Assist System) mode operates when throttle must be activated and rider must be pedaling in order to operate the motor. Basically when you are pedaling the bicycle is when the motor will kick in to tell you out ;)
These bicycles are called the IZIP Hybrid Electric Bicycles - this website will help you learn more about these NEAT bicycles......
This evening we went down to the river near where we live (we drove the car, not on the bikes) and the "Make A Wish Foundation" was have a charity event raising $36,000 and HOW are they trying to accomplish this you ask?? Put two guys on a raft on the Merrimack river for 36 hours straight. This event started on Tuesday July 26 at 8am and finished on Wednesday July 27 at 6pm or later when they reach their goal of $36,000. I got some cool pictures of this that I think you will enjoy......I had a great time there.....
Well that was my day today.....I got a late start today, but I got alot done today too. I'll sign off now and I hope you have a nice day. Nite Nite! :)

| We put the basket on the front to let Jake ride around with us :) |
 |
| Jake get really comfy in his basket as we cruise around |
 |
| There's the two blue battery packs (there is a key to lock the batteries in place).....you can control which battery you want to work off of from......the batteries will go 15 - 22 miles and top speed in TAG is 15 miles per hour |
 |
| You can get these optional saddle bags and do you see the silver electric motor right there |
 |
| We have two of them we bought about two years ago |
 |
| I snapped this picture cause i wanted to show you the name on the side of the frame |
