Fitness & In-laws



So this post is another one about some of my exercise moves.
Since we finished the fire place I had to move my TBG (total body Gym) to the bedroom...where there isn't room for it to be set up. :( I'm really sad about that because I haven't been able to work out on it in a week now.
I use to do these exercises before I bought the TBG.. (now I'm back to doing these, I usually do them right before I take a bath. Like literally right before, while the tub is filling up.)
25 jumping jacks (land in a squat each rep)
25 side lunges of both sides
25 regular lunges (I try to add in the "back leg kick" to help tone my butt too)
50 crunches (front & both sides 50 each)
25 squats
25 hold       Hold the squat as low as possible BURN
and that's were I end because i'm usually light headed lol.



FACE
Since my Murad stuff wasn't really working I decided to try a more natural approach to improve my skin.
Oil Cleansing Method

Here is the link to the recipe. I did add tea tree oil to mine since it helps acne.
It's still very strange for me to put oil on my face but heck I'll try anything.

Now I'm researching food's that help your skin overall. I of course am just enjoying learning about it all. In EMT school we learned a lot about skin because it is the largest organ in our body and very susceptible to bacteria's,  diseases and so on.

I also read that people like myself should change there pillow case as often as every other night! I usually change mine with the sheets on Sundays BUT now i'm going to try to every couple of days.

SCRUBs / peal
An all natural chemical peal type scrub I came across sounds really promising.
I plan on trying it this week since I just read about it today.

I did decorate the house for Christmas but haven't taken a picture yet. One set of lights on the tree is completely dead and I have to purchase a whole new strand :(.
I'll try to do that in the next day or two.


Use natural/organic lemon juice (can be in the little container of already squeezed juice) on a cotton pad then add about a tsp of granulated sugar...then scrub.
It helps with Age spots, ACNE, scars, discolorations, freckles, and much more.



Madinna and Patrick are in town for a few days. We had a good time last night at dinner and are meeting again tonight after work. Here is a pic of the boys watching youtube video of some awesome guitar pickin!
