Living Without School: My workout today.

Wednesday, December 13, 2006

My workout today.

Holding myself accountable - I really need to work out hard every day, to counter all this holiday eating.

I did Taebo - Billy's Blaster Ball workout.

And had a blast with the stability ball and the 3kg dumbells.

I'll try to commit to posting my workouts and to watching my eating, over the festive season. All right?

Want to join in?

yesterthoughts said...: I'm partial to the Firm classic workouts (Volume six is my favorite). I am ashamed to admit that I have not done any of the firm videos for several weeks. You are inspiring me to get going on that. Thanks, Leonie! Here's to a healthy and fit Christmastime to you and yours, kristina; 5:15 pm
Leonie said...: Kristina, I have two FIRM CLassics that I love - Volume 1 and Volume 4. Volume 1 is a killer. :-) I might do one of those tomorrow! Thanx.; 5:52 pm
Leonie said...: BTW, Kristina - do you have a blog? I was searching my favourites and couldn't see one, offhand...; 5:54 pm

(He's going to clean-up our basement during his Christmas vacation.) I will watch to see if you are sticking to your goals.; 11:13 pm

Leonie said...: Thanx for all the comments, guys - you know, working out is not really a problem for me - I love it and never miss a day ( even when I had blood clots in January I did upper body workouts! lol!). But I need to keep up the intensity and really, really wok on eating - the holdiay junk and snacks are getting to me. :-(

Cindy and Cheryl, we can be accountable to each other. :-); 8:26 am
Anonymous said...: Leonie,
I just checked my profile. This is so strange that my blog is not showing up there. You have visited my blog a few times. I used to call it "Kristina's World," but changed the name to "yesterthoughts" since that is more fitting for one with more sporatic blogging habits - lol!

On the topic of Firm workouts, Vol. 1 is a killer! Volume 4 is good when I am just getting back in the swing of working out regularly. When I have not worked out in awhile, I always do the first half of "The Hare" Firm workout w/ Tracie Long. It's old, but not as old as Volume 1! I love the jazz shoes and leggings they wear in Vol. 1.; 3:15 pm
Leonie said...: Okay, you are tempting me - I'll have to try to get more of the old FIRM Classics.; 8:08 pm

Prayer of Consecration of St. Maximilian Kolbe

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to thee. I, N___, a repentant sinner, cast myself at thy feet humbly imploring thee to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to thyself as thy possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases thee. If it pleases thee, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of thee: "She will crush your head," and, "Thou alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."

Let me be a fit instrument in thine Immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed Kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever thou enters, one obtains the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through thy hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V. Allow me to praise thee O Sacred Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thy enemies.

Prayer of St Bonaventure

Pierce, O most Sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for Thee, that it may yearn for Thee and faint for Thy courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delight of taste; let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, upon whom the angels desire to look, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor; may it ever thirst after Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the richness of the house of God.May it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee, and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, and with perseverance unto the end.May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance, my riches, my delight, my pleasure, my joy, my rest and tranquility, my peace, my sweetness, my fragrance, my sweet savor, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession and my treasure, in whom may my mind and my heart be fixed and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and for ever. Amen.
