I have completed Week 1 of my 12 week program. I am suspect that the creator of said program may have misinterpreted the word gentle. The yoga involved has made me very sore, but has done nothing for the *ss-lump I developed in December. As suspected, I am not a fan of yoga and, to be frank, I'm disappointed that it's not as easy as they made it look in The Karate Kid. I am holding fast to the fact that this is temporary and therefore, I will not be purchasing yoga pants.

The time to lose weight has passed and the time to get toned has arrived. Working out with small kids in the house is like eating pudding with a fork; it's not impossible but it is a pain in the a**.

I am on Day 4 of my 12 week program and yesterday was the first day they focused on glutes. Which would have been a lot easier had I not fallen down the stairs and broke my a** more than a month ago. This produced a large lump on my posterior. It took a few weeks to get in with the Doc to see what it was and I tried, in the meantime, to learn what it was on my own. Searching for any buttocks related issue at the beginning of the year will only produce a variety of exercises to give you the butt you've always wanted; which I find strange as I don't think you can switch the one you have out for another. Anyway, I often find when doing internet searches that if you word if differently, you may find what you're looking for. Do yourself a favor and avoid googling "lumpy a**." (SPOILER ALTERT: It's a hematoma)

Anyway, working on my glutes for the first time in ages was unpleasant to say the least. That area already hurts from that sexy stair lump I developed, but I managed to get through it. I noticed that a number of days in the program require the use of a hanging bar; which I do not have. I found one on CL for $10 in an area where a friend live (she's picking it up for me today and I hope to have it before I need it again). In the mean time, I must have looked like a lunatic hanging from the banister on my stairs (clearly I haven't learned my lesson).

This program is designed in 4 phases that consist of 5 gentle workouts a week; which I will be doing M-F. It seems that gentle means lots of yoga, which I don't care for. I'm going to tough through it because I know that there is no chance of getting rid of my c-section shelf with an abdominal split and I HATE lose skin. Because I'm not familiar with yoga poses (Yes, that means I don't like it without ever having tried it; just like lima beans.), I've been looking them up on youtube. And almost every video I come across has a voice over of a stoned sounding hippie saying "namaste." They keep on using that word, I do not think it means what they think it means.

What a week! I finally have everything I need for baby chicks and placed my order with the hatchery. They should be laying by the summer.

I was able to locate two pairs of jeans at a thrift shop that wont fall to my ankles without a belt. This is a great relief as I've been battling that problem for a couple of months.

And as awesome as those two things are, they do not compete with the BEST thing that happened to me this week! A friend of mine surprised me, last minute, with front row seats for this show! By some miracle, I was able to obtain a babysitter. So off we went to take in my favorite film on the big screen and see one of my idols live! He was FANTASTIC!

After we left the theatre, I took her for a bite to eat and we found a lovely little bar/restaurant. The menu was simple and the service incredible. I ordered wings without knowing that they were breaded, but they serve their sauce on the side so I was able to remove the breading and enjoy them (I never liked breaded hot wings).

It was a lovely and rare night out for me. And if all of that wasn't enough, I woke up this morning to learn that I had reached my goal!

A week or so ago, I tried my hand at making a low-carb BBQ sauce and I didn't really care for it. But since I made several servings, I've been eating it anyway (I hate wasting food). Tonight, I decided to add a little bit of horseradish to it and it was SOOO much better. You're welcome. ;)
