other fitness news: starting an after-service 30 minute fitness club at church starting sept. 7... so far, Shana is the only one that i know will be participating and that is fab. i got her set up with a library card so she can rent Leslie walks, plus let her know where to find some cool workouts online to do at home.

i just love the fact that I dont have to go to the gym! i save so much money, drivetime and gas by staying at home and doing the workouts.

i have been using fitmusic from itunes to mix up what i listento when i walk in the mornings. its free and makes all my workouts seem "newer" when theres something new to listen to.

also, i have been renting fitness DVDs through Netflix and if i like them, i tape them. so far I have rented the SouthBeach diets Supercharged Workout and i taped it. the cardio portion is 20 minutes long and really tough,but its awesome.

i love to sweat! and working out in he morning gives me so much energy throughout the day and makes me feel awesome. in the two weeks and two days that i have been back on the ball with my workouts, i have knocked off over 5 lbs and several inches, especially in my thighs and bum area... and i havent been to the gym once. i cant believe ive been able to stick to my workouts, in general, for a whole year now. i gotta renew my membership at the Walk Club soon... (thats an online club)...

Leslies new DVD should be coming soon! its a 5 mile DVD, designed to do one mile each morning, BUT you can also do all 5 in a row for a butt-kicking, energizing 85 minute workout. i cannot WAIT to get this DVD!!! i found it online at www.deepdiscount.com for $9.10, FREE SHIPPING!

tomorrows workout will prolly be a mile in the morning and a mile in the evening...
