25 Jan

Hola! I took my morning snack to the coffee shop to go with my iced coffee – cherries and cheese. I think I may be obsessed with both this week as always. Why aren’t cherries cheap and in season all year?big ol string cheese

I was going to document all my eats today but my sandwich disappeared before I remembered to take a picture. I’m still sharing this mess so I can relive that amazing salad for another second Smilethat salad is a mess, a delicious mess

Oh, and I almost forgot I taped Ask a Monican #27 yesterday!

Monica from Run Eat Repeat answers:
1. How do I keep running interesting if I’m not training for a race?
2. Tips to lose weight when the scale is stuck?
3. What is your favorite ethnic food?

Weight loss Wednesday – Working out at home

I know not everyone wants or needs to lose weight, but we should all be exercising. But some days it’s hard because…

 it’s too rainy to go to the gym

you worked late

your walking buddy cancelled

you don’t want to!

they don’t have your favorite class at the gym today…

Well, you don’t need a gym to get moving – you can workout at home and it can be fun! Promise.

You know how I know? Because I had a blast Zumba-ing in my living room today.

A rep from the newly launched Yahoo! Shine Get It Guide sent me a Zumba fitness party pack to get my workout on at home. yahoo shine get it guideIMG_5172 (800x600)

The pack came with the illusive Zumba maracas toning sticks I’ve been wanting since I got the Zumba bug! I have been bopping around with these like a Mexican jumping bean Winking smilezumba toning sticks

I can understand if you’re not a big fan of Zumba at the gym because it’s fast paced choreography with a room full of strangers. I get that.

But, the great thing about this (and most other fitness dvds) is it breaks down the basic moves first. So you can learn at your own pace without worrying if the lady behind you thinks you are embarrassing yourself and your entire family with those two left feet.zumba dvd

Want to get your workout on at home? Yahoo! Shine Get It Guide is giving one lucky RER reader a $25.00 gift certificate to Amazon to buy the workout dvd of their choice!

To Enter: Leave a comment answering…

What is your favorite exercise DVD or class at the gym?

Contest open to residents of the US and Canada. Contest ends 1/26/12 at 7am PST. Yahoo!Shine sent me the dvd pack to review at no cost. All opinions are my own.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      This MAY sound silly, but I love all of the Just Dance games on the Wii. You don’t realize it at first, but you get a really great workout! They usually leave me pretty sore afterwards but that’s probably because I’m doing all the dances wrong. God only knows what my neighbors think! ::shakes head::

      My absolute favorite class at the gym is their “Lunch Krunch”. It’s a 30 minute workout that leaves my abs and booty sore for days! There are various stations set up around the room with weights, medicine balls, resistance bands, whatever to make your muscles burn! We do each station for about 30 secs, break for 10 sec and continue. We do 2 rounds of this. Then we end with a hardcore ab session that leaves me sore!

      My favorite class at my gym is called BodyBlast. It is just basically an hour long of curcuit training. We constantly switch from high intensity cardio (think mountain climbers, squat jacks, etc.) to various strengh moves. I love it because it’s different moves each week and the quick pace never lets me get bored! Plus, I almost always wake up the next day sore in some spot! That let’s me know I must be doing something right, right?!

      Ha, well I interpret “favorite” as “least-hated”….I have to go with the Leslie Sansone walking DVD with jogging segments at the end of each mile (sorry, at work and I don’t know the formal title off the top of my head). The jogging segments get my heart rate up enough that it’s a good calorie burn, but it’s not all killer so I can force myself to do it even when I’m sleepy and lazy.

I keep thinking if the DVDs make me “good enough” I’ll work up the courage to go, even though being “good” totally isn’t the point and I know it.

      I’m also confused about the junk miles concept. I understand not training for a race and workouts not having a distinct purpose, but isn’t it really a good thing any time someone gets out and runs. No matter what you’re still getting out there moving, getting stronger, increasing your endurance and burning calories…so why are “junk miles” such a bad thing?!? I don’t get it?!

      I am a total dork at Zumba but I still do it every now and again when my old instructor hosts charity Zumbathons.

      I have too many DVDs to pick a fave, so I’ll say my favorite class at the gym is aqua aerobics. Sure everyone there is almost twice my age, but it is easy on my joints and the instructor knows what she is doing, because I always feel like it was a good workout.

      I grew up in a town in Eastern Washington (a big agricultural region) and the main crop in my town is cherries. In fact, sorting cherries on a conveyor belt was my first job when I was 14. Anyway, they are a VERY fickle and labor intensive fruit to grow, hence the cost, etc. I remember sorting out lots of cherries that didn’t make the cut. As an adult, I hated them for a long time…that’s what being overly saturated with something as a kid will do to you. I’m 30 and I think last summer was the first time I spent the money on them on my own.

          Hah! Well, I think it was because I ate a TON and they didn’t seem appetizing anymore. But also they are pretty expensive at the grocery store, so even though I spend a ton on groceries (Whole Foods LOVES me!) it seemed silly to spend lots o’ money on something I feel sort of blase about.

      OMG you answered my question! Thank you so so much. (is it weird that I feel like a celebrity answered my question? since I only “know” you through the web it feels like you’re a celeb) Anyways, I’m going to do what you suggested with the tempo runs. I think having set day of the week for it would help me feel like I have a bit of a plan so I would get that feeling of going on a run with a purpose, but at the same time I wouldn’t feel like my life is revolving around a specific race schedule like it did in the fall. Thank again for answering! Totally made my day.

      Love that you asked the person w/ the weight loss question about their height. That’s a lot of exercise! It sometimes bothers me when I see bloggers talk about their weight without mentioning their height- there’s a huge difference between weighing 120 pounds (or whatever) if you’re five feet versus five-seven.
