FITness FUNdamentals Simplified:Take the Work Out of Workout

This is a review I am able to conduct on FITness FUNdamentals Simplified:Take the Work Out of Workout (Danford's Fundamentals) (Volume 1) Paperback – February 1, 2015 through a code I was sent from AMZ Reviewers. But the thought in the review is all mine and my families.



I am so frustrated because the past couple months I have been working hard to walk for 10,000 steps a day if not more. As well as swim a mile in the pool when I can get to the gym. Plus there is days when Charlie and I will work out on the machines. But when I step on the scale it shows I have not lost any weight.

Now this is even after I do not eat or take my Slim fast shakes. So it makes me want to quit. As I feel like I am just wasting my time. But I do not I keep going. No matter how late at night it takes me I work hard to get the steps I know I need.

So when I was on AMZ Reviewer and found FITness FUNdamentals I knew it might help me with the problems I have been struggling with. Which I am glad I asked for it as it has helped. It has shown me I can have the foods I like and exercise can be fun.

I do not have to push myself and kill myself to have the body I want. Nor do I have to give up the foods I like and not go out with my friends and family. Which is awesome as I was starting to hate eating and hating my home as I was afraid to go out as I would cheat.

With this book I can even get David and Charlie off the couch as what is suggested in it is not hard to do. It teaches us to get motivated and I know that was one of my biggest problems. But not anymore.

Dinner does not scare me anymore either as it offers items we can eat and should eat. That are both good for us and taste good. Items I did not even know David or Charlie would eat until we started reading this book.

So no matter what age you may be this book can help you out. It will help you move more. Eat healthier and become less grouchy. The weight may not roll right off but it will come off safely and healthy.

Butt Workouts by Chia Booty written by Mike Danford

I was sent a code to purchase  Butt Workouts by Chia Booty through AMZ Reviewers but the thoughts in the review are all mine and mine alone.

Butt Workouts by Chia Booty: Allows women to grow the booty we have always dreamed of. As it offers the best butt exercises and workout for women. It is a Kindle Book so you can take it anywhere with you.

I have been working really hard the past couple months to lose all the extra weight I am carrying around. As I think it is part of the reason my knee hurts a lot of the time. So as I exercise I pick certain parts of my body to work on and tone up. One of those areas I did not think about was my butt. As to me it it is just there and why do I care what it looks like. But the more weight I lose the more afraid I am that either I will end up with a huge butt or one that sags so much it hits the ground. 

So I was excited when I found Butt Workouts by Chia Booty as it would allow me to build my butt up so it would not do either of the things I think it might do. Plus I thought Charlie might like doing these exercises with me and I was right. 

We have only been using them for about a week but I can tell the difference as my clothes fit smoother. I do not take up as much of a chair when I sit down.  Plus my butt is not as flabby and it does not jiggle as much which I like. Even David says it looks much better and that he may need to try out some of the exercises and see what happens. 

I like how he breaks the book down into three different segments and that the first part does not call for equipment because at this time I just do not have the money to purchase Exercise items. Plus there is a section on nutrition and I must tell you we do not eat right in our home. So this section is helping us change that. As we are eating better and I am not as tired as I was. Plus I am losing weight in more places than just my butt. Which is awesome!!

There is even links inside the book that will take us to the places he is talking about. Which is great. The exercises are not to hard that I can not do them. Nor do they wear me out but I can still tell I did a workout which is great. As it leaves me enough energy to still walk my 10,000 steps and my mile in the pool.

So hopefully by this time next Summer I will be a much younger better tomned women. Who has a nice looking Booty that people will not make fun of when they see me coming. As I will be 51 on my birthday and I am not ready for a Rocking Chair yet!!

All in all I loved this book and will recommend it to my friends as well as give it to the ladies in my family as Christmas Gifts as we all can use some help in the Booty department. 

So if you do not like the way your Booty looks check out this fun and informative book on Amazon at: As I just ust saw that on  on Amazon: Butt Workouts by Chia Booty: Grow the booty... by Mike Danford for $2.99 http://amzn.to/1KCCLml via @@amazon

Weight Loss is going to be the Death of me!!

My mother and law surprised me last month when she wanted to visit NRH Center in North Richland Hills as they have a inside pool. But she is needing to walk her doctor says and she can not do it outside. So Charlie, David, Sherry and I all piled into her Tahoo and headed to NRH Center. Now I thought we was just getting information. But once inside we looked around and she asked for a application.

As soon as I saw the cost I knew I could not afford it. But that did not stop Sherry as she filled the application out and added David, Charlie and I as well as my niece and her husband and Granny to the application and then off she went to pay.

So for a little over a month we have been walking in the pool. As well as Charlie and I walking up stairs on the track and on the weights. Even when Sherry did not go with us we have been going and I can tell you most days I am worn out. But I have pushed on and I am not giving up.

Even if on the 10th David and Sherry do not redo the membership I am going to continue walking outside as I have lost 25 pounds and David has lost 20. Plus it is getting Charlie more active which is awesome.

So today Sherry and I did a mile in the pool. Then I came home and Charlie and I walked around the neighborhood and I hit almost 3800 steps. My goal is 10,000 a day but I would like to up it to 15000. So as of 4:15 I am at 8562 and I am not sure if I will make the 10000 today as I have joined a challenge and have to do there exercises as well.

Which I missed yesterday and I should have done 100 squats so I have done 75 of them today. Then today's is 100 crunches and I have 75 of them done. I am not sure if I will get the last 25 of either done but what I can tell you is I am going to try.

As my goal before Charlie returns to school is to lose as close to 50 pounds as possible. As I started at 225 and I am right at 200. My wish is to get to 130 but even if I only make it to 150 I will be so much happier and healthier that I will not fuss.

As I will be able to ride that Bike I can not ride now. As well as play Soccer with Charlie as this is what he would like for me to do. Plus I might be able to do a 5 mile walk which is what I would like to see us do as a family.

Are you looking to lose weight? If so what are you doing? What is working and what isn't working for you? Are you in a gym?

June 14th review Denton Natatorium and Water Works Park

David and I have always tried to make Sunday a "FAMILY Day"!!  Where Charlie is able to do the things he would like to do. As well as have his favorite foods. But the past year has been hard and we had gotten away from that. So with "SUMMER" here I am trying to get back into that habit.

So on Friday we asked Charlie if he would like to go swimming and since this is his favorite thing to do in the world we knew he would say yes. But what he did not know was that we was going to attend Denton Water Works Park which I had taken Charlie to last year. Along with his friend Dylan.

So this year David and I decided to surprise Charlie and allow him to ask his friend Adain as I knew he had never been to a water park before. Plus knowing his mom Tammy I knew she would be so happy for us to take Aiden.



So this morning when we got up we checked the Weather and it said it might storm and when I mentioned this to Charlie he said no it is not. Because I have to pick up Aiden and we get to spend the day together. Which was nice because with school out Charlie has not had anyone to play with.

So we packed our lunches into the Coolers and took off for Denton Water Park. I figured I would hear are we there yet. Or move over your touching me. Or I need to go to the restroom. But instead all I heard was Charlie explaining Denton Water Park to Aiden and what all they would be able to do once they arrived.

So we get there and we are about 15 minutes early and I can tell you it was not only the longest 15 minutes ever for Charlie and Aiden but also for me.As I was wanting to get inside and into the pool as I had not walked this morning and I needed to.

So we go up and let them know who we are and a very nice lady escorted us to our Cabana. Once there she showed us how the Curtains work and let us know we could close it. Plus if we needed more ice to just let them know. Which I had not been told last year. Another nice touch was the 4 bottles of water we received.



So Aiden and Charlie immediatly ask to go into the children's play area. Where  they played and played. There favorite part was shooting the sprayers as they said it reminded them of a Gun. Plus they loved the slide.



Once they finished we went to the Lazy River and walked in it. I loved how the water felt. Both Charlie and Aiden loved being able to use Tubes in it. I can not wait to try one out next time. But this time David and I walked. I just wish I knew how many laps around it would make a mile. As this one is 3 times bigger than the one we usually walk in.



Once we finished here Charlie and Aiden wanted to go down the slides. So David and I took them over to them. They both grabbed a Tube and headed up the stairs to slide. I was amazed when I saw David follow then and say he was going to slide with them. As he had just gotten out of the hospital but he said he could not resist spending time with Charlie and playing with him and Aiden.



Once done here we ended up going inside and the boys tried out that slide which they loved. But more than that they loved the pool and seeing the Basketball Net. But they did not play as they just wanted to swim and splash. But they both said the next time we are there they want to play basketball. As well as try out the Diving Board as Charlie loves to Dive. But before we allow  Aiden to he will need swim lessons which I saw they offer. So I will be sharing this information with Tammy so she can bring Aiden if she wishes.



Once we was leaving I saw they host Birthday Parties and since Charlies is in December and it is hard to host parties outside this would make a perfect place for us to host his Birthday. So if you are thinking of hosting a party of any kind and would like a new and unusual place you should check them out.

All in all today was a huge success and I am hopping David's hours pick up and we can visit again before the end of the Summer since we all had so much fun. But if that does not happen for what ever reason I know they offer Season passes and I plan on purchasing one for Charlie for next year as one of his Birthday Presents!!

Exercise and a 4 year old.

I am trying my best to lose weight and I am not to good at exercise. But since I would like for my son to be healthy, I am doing my best to find some exercise that we can do together. This way I will feel better and hopefully my son will do as well. He Loves to play outside and once in a while I walk him to school but I just do not think this is enough. What would you suggest I do? What types of exercise would you suggest I do to help us both out?

He is in school and he does tumbling and also a Moving and Grooving class but that does not get me any exercise. So can you help me figure out what the right kind of exercise would be good for me and my son? My friends told me a new type of exercises which are the Beach Body, Extreme Body Workout and 90 Day Review. I think we are going to try these things.

There is a walking track at his school and I can use it but it does not allow children on it and it takes 17 laps to make a mile and I am not sure if a mile is enough per day. Plus what would I do with my son while I walk? If I walk while he is in school then I can not be there to help out in his class room which is not good as the teacher counts on me. So once again can you help me decide how I can get some exercise.
