It's a New Dawn, a New Day a New LIFE and We're FEELING GOOD!!

Going strong! I have only drank diet coke today.  Eventually I want to kick the carbonation all together, but I'm going to have to do that in lil steps.  From now til January 1st only diet drinks for me, but once the first rolls around I'm hoping I can say I'm ready to go to no carbonation.  Today was tough, but I'm glad I stuck with it.  I was craving a Dr. Pepper really bad, but I beat the urge by telling myself I have to blog the truth and I don't want my future readers to know I caved in that easily.  So, by me telling myself that blogging would hold me accountable, I was right.  I had zero regular sodas today.

As far as my work out goes, I burned 182 calories on my "Your Shape" game, and let me just say Sarah Maxwell's NIVEA Work Your Body personal fitness program rocks! I felt the burn bad! I did a total of 72 lunges, and about 40ish squats and knee lifts galore! I think the kinect is going to be really effective with helping me workout daily! 

Also my friend Nikki came over today and I was showing her the different games I had on Kinect. (BTW her husband Evan has the blog heavyevan.wordpress.com - check it out.  His blog is about his adventure of becoming healthier by eating healthier! He's been successful in his journey so far from what I can tell)  One game we have that came with our kinect is "Kinect Adventures" Well Nikki and I played on that for about 10 minutes or so. It's a lot of fun and it takes pictures of what you look like when you are playing.  I never thought that working out could be enjoyed so much, I hardly noticed that I was actually working out during the game, which is VERY Awesome.  You can buy the Kinect Adventures game at Amazon by following this link: http://www.amazon.com/Kinect-Adventures-Xbox-360/dp/B004HHIB8U

Well it's time for me to get back to work! I have lots of crafts to finish before we go to our parent's for Christmas!

Kaleb, the hubby wanted me to add that he has burned 186 calories today! GOOOO Kaleb! Looks like we might be getting into our skinny britches soon if we keep this up! We plan on "weighing in" and sharing our progress on January 9th, so keep posted! 

It's not easy, we are both oober sore, but it's that good sore, the sore that let's you know you are making a change and that your efforts are working, and that ladies and gents, feels sooo good: I had this song in my head today:
