Ima-Survivor.

Our new suduo name. Our daily routines have turned into work all day, homework all night or in Tim's case, School all day, work, work, work and then homework til the break of dawn. How did this happen?! I am not too proud to admit I took on way too much this semester. I was much too ambitious. Lesson learned! I will never take 16 credits and work full time ever again! The past 2 Friday's I've come close to tears just because I was so tired and poor Tim has been sick for weeks. Okay Universe! We get it!

In better news we're making a good share of money, enough in fact to celebrate our nearly school free summer (I'll probably still take maybe 2 online classes) to go on a California sun filled vacation! The islander in me needs to reconnect to it's oceanic roots and Tim has yet to experience Disneyland! With this excitement looming, I am determined to have my semi-abs back in time for our freedom from school excursion.

here is my plan of attack:
(Tim doesn't need a plan of attack since he stays thin no matter how many bowls of chips & salsa he devours.)

The Goddess Belly Dance Workout with Dolfina:




As silly as it sounds it is actually my favorite work out! It gets your entire body limber and flexible while working back muscles, stomach muscles, arms, shoulders, hips, EVERYTHING! You may find me chuckling every now and again when she tells me to "awaken my kundelini," but what's a few laughs compared to a kick A stomach?!

Gaiam Fitness Ball Workout:


Nate & Theresa, both being health majors and it being an Office inside joke bought me this amazing contraption for my birthday last December. I haven't actually used the workout dvd yet but I've had plenty of fun bouncing on it like a five year old. Irregardless, I'm confident it will help with my balance & give me more of hard core workout than my dancing.

Last but not least, the old fashioned treadmill:

I'll be the first to admit, I'm too lazy to run on actual ground. Perhaps after my lungs don't feel like exploding I will venture out onto less technologic earth. Until then, it's my husband's mp3, my old high school track shoes, and the treadmill that will almost run for me. :-)


Before my farewell, I do want to make note of our sweet little valentines day. Last year we were a week away from getting married and had no furniture in our apartment (heck, even MY stuff wasn't there yet!) so we opted for heart shaped pizza and sparkling cider on the floor of our future home. This year, with both of us a little sick, exhausted and a full time schedule, we decided to continue on our tradition of the heart pizza. So here's to love and the wonderful commodity of the frozen food section. :-)
