For the first time ever here at my Beach, I have asked for a Guest Post. To break up things up a bit, I asked my girlfriend Lori to write up a guest post workout for us today. Lori and I have known each other almost all our lives we met in Kindergarten and went all through High School together. Lori and I were cheerleaders together and given my height I was the base of the pyramid and Lori stood on my shoulders. Now if you want a workout, that was a great one. We now haven’t seen each other in about 9 years. You see Lori lives in Texas and as much as we would love to see each other we are just that far apart that it doesn’t happen.
Lori is a mother of three and the owner of Amped Up Fitness and trains to compete as a Professional Fitness Competitor and Fitness Model. I am very proud of Lori’s achievements and am honoured that she offered to provide a workout for us here.

Happy Wednesday to you all. I know my Workout Wednesday posts have been sporadic, but so has my working out. I run, when I can. I walk, when I can. But, that is about it. And honestly, it just isn’t cutting it anymore.
I have tried to register for Booty Camp Fitness a couple of times now, but it sells out in my area very quickly. Then I went to She’s Connected and had a chance to meet with Lisa (and several other Ladies from Booty Camp) which also happened to be the day the next session opened up. We chatted about where I am at, and how I just can’t get back to where I want and used to be.
Lisa thinks that we can do it. That I can be where I want to be. I was assured there would be no yelling at me and making me cry. I can do that in my own home thank you very much. I have been assured that I will be worked out hard, something I perhaps haven’t been getting from myself lately.
Please join me for four weeks of Booty Camp starting next week. I will be taking measurements from when I start to when I finish. I will let you know how hard it is, how painful it is or how it all went so smoothly. I believe there are a few spots left in other areas of the city and if not, then grab a dvd and get your Booty on. No time for slouching, the holidays are upon us and I just can’t take my waistline anymore.

How awful that I am rolling two posts into one! But the truth is I am barely squeaking this by. I am exhausted and running on empty, but I can’t let today pass without acknowledging my son’s 7th Birthday and offering up a challenge.
Seven years ago I was weeping with Joy because this little guy came into my life. I still relish the days we spend together and try not to suffer the days when he is gone from me at school. He is half of my team where I am the coach, he is my everything. What I wouldn’t do for this little guy. I love you J.
And not to shrug my new dedication to Workout Wednesdays, I have to say that this week was a good slap in the face. Last night at an event a lady approached me to offer her Doula services. Needless to say I am not pregnant and it took all I had in me not to scream at her, but it was certainly the slap I needed to wake up my abs and get them into shape.
So, this week I am offering up a challenge should you wish to join me. In addition to my running, I am going to do a set of hundreds each day. Hundreds is a Pilates move that works out your abs and if I wasn’t already in my pj’s I would show them to you, but check out “hundreds pilates” on the web and you will find some great suggestions. Will you join me?
