Summer Resolutions

I never do New Year's Resolutions because I KNOW I can't keep them.  I also have never set a Summer Resolution for myself.  But I'm feeling inspired.  My friend, Tiffanie, over at My Domestic Niche is currently doing a Push Up Challenge where she is doing 200 push ups a DAY! (I can't even do ONE good push up).  So clearly that isn't my resolution.

While I was writing my Summer to do list (that list is for another day), I thought of my fitness goals.  I want to try Yoga.  But that seemed too easy so I wrote "run 100 miles."  If you know me, or read my posts around the Run for the Warrior, you know that running is not my forte.  I quite suck at land sports.  I'm a fishie!  Anyway, I'm challenging myself to run 100 miles this summer!

We'll see how I do, but I have an old-school tracking device (that looks like a chart that they used to use in kindergarten where the teacher puts stickers on your paper for every nice thing you do...). 

 I'm also doing Turbo Jam.

 If you have never heard of it, it's by the BeachBody company that does the famous PX90 system.  Turbo Jam is fun though.  It's really my kind of work out.  It combines aerobic exercise with capoeira moves, kick boxing moves and dance! FUN!

This is Charlene Johnson who started it.  She is in her 40's and she is fit! What do you think??

I think Turbo Jam is SUPER fun but it's also exhausting. 

So I'm pumped. I'll be doing my Turbo Jam workout and running a few miles today!

 Do you have any summer resolutions that you want to conquer?

Pretty Little Things

Hi Ladies!

I'm sort of in a bloggy rut after the long weekend but bear with me as we get the MilGirl Advice Blog rolling out next week!  Thank you for all of your enthusiastic replies.  I'll be contacting you to let you know when yours will be hitting my blog!


Anyway, on a whim, I decided that I wanted to learn how to decorate cakes.  NOTE: I don't really bake cakes... but that's another story for another day... I checked in with my local Michaels and decided to take a cake decorating class.  I figured if I was going to be a MilSpouse one day (465 days!!! haha still a lifetime away!) I might need to bring a cake to some social function and nobody wants to eat a cake that look like... poo poo. 

 It says "Happy Hank Day" for my friend Hank's Birthday.

I know I can do better than that!

So, I'll decorate and hopefully I have some talent at the medium that is frosting.  I'm not too awful at some artistic mediums... I'm awesome at puffy paint (thanks to all those cheerleading Tshirts we had to hand make), I'd like to think I'm decent at painting ceramics as long as the designs are simple and modern -- and involve a lot of colorful polka dots!

So I'm excited to start.  It was supposed to start today at 2 pm but the teacher says she thought it started next week.  A fellow classmate (and Marine Spouse) was PISSED and started to tear the manager a new one... saying that it was unprofessional that she was late and that she decided not to show up.  That she should receive a discount and reimbursement for mileage!

Alright lady. I know your precious hubby is coming home and you want to make him a Marine cake but you yelling is not okay... jus sayin.

It starts next week and we're supposed to decorate sugar cookies. I'll post pics when I got 'em!  :D

Hugs,
Reina
