Ruthie!

My morning started a little differently today. The first thing I did was go baby sit my boyfriend's niece. She is so precious! But by the time I was done there, it was time for me to get to the gym!

Abs!

Then I went home and made myself a lovely sandwich with some of the left over chicken from last night! So yummy! And just what I needed! After a little break and getting a few things done... Then I got up and did a little exercise video.

Recently I bought Hip Hop Abs- cause it was on sale. So I decided to give it a shot! (Maybe not follow the routine of what you are supposed to do everyday for 4 weeks, but at least give me an added workout sometimes!) So I tried it for the first time today. I did the intro video on how to do the workout to get the best ab results, and then I did the 30 minute cardio video. It wasn't too hard, but it felt good to be moving, and it definitely was aerobic. So I got in an added workout for the day!
