Workout schedule and equipment

I get a lot of questions about what workouts I do so I want to answer that here! I live in a small, small town and the one gym I know of is 15-20 minutes away.  That doesn't fit in my schedule, it doesn't make my wallet happy, and I don't like going to the gym anyway!  I knew when I started this journey that I would bring equipment to my home and I would use stuff I already have here like MY OWN BODY.  I do cardio Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I do calisthenics and weights on Monday and Wednesday, Saturday is my weigh in day and day off, and then Sunday is just whatever I feel like.  I do cardio for no less than 30 minutes at a time and that could be on the stationary bike, the treadmill, going up and down my driveway, or my personal favorite, doing Just Dance on the Wii!  I dread working out UNLESS it is Just Dance AND, my kids and my husband have both joined in on Just Dance so that makes it even more fun.  Calisthenics include push ups and sit ups of course and then I add in stretches, leg lifts, planks, donkey kicks, etc.  I have hand weights I used to always use but now I use the bowflex to really work my back and arms. I am very consistent with this but on the other hand, there have been the few exceptions such as I don't feel good or I have a busy night and then I don't workout at all.  I will post pictures below of my equipment except the treadmill because I don't have a picture, I don't remember the brand to look it up, and its just going to be your personal preference.

3 months + 2 days

I GOT A SURGERY DATE!  December 27, 2018 at 8am I will be having VSG ( Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy).  SO, on December 6th, I have to get labs, chest X-ray, and an EKG to ensure I am in top notch health.  I also get to talk to the doctor that day just to go over everything for like the 3rd time and I say that in the best way possible.  Nothing makes me feel better than getting as much one on one time with the man who will be doing the surgery and making sure all my questions are answered.  THEN, I have to be at the hospital at 6am on the 27th and the surgery will begin at 8am; it will last around one hour.  I have to stay in the hospital that night and then I should be able to break out the next day.  I can't drive for one week and I can't lift over 10 pounds for two weeks........EVIE!!! :(  I CANNOT wait to be blessed with this tool that will not only HELP me shed the rest of my weight but HELP me keep it off.  I still have to ...

Happy anniversary

Josh is the kind of guy that you know the ladies look at but he doesn't know that.  He doesn't talk some  big game and when he was trying to win me over, he didn't use lines and sexual harassment to do it.  He has big thoughts but isn't one to tell you he is right and you are wrong; he likes digging into things and finding out WHY.  He has the biggest smile and when he gets excited about something he does little jigs or waves his hands in the air.  Josh cares what people think of him so I like to think that one of my purposes here is to teach him not to or at least care a little less (we are getting there.)  I stare at him A LOT, I love when he wears his hat backwards, he makes a simple white t-shirt look sexy as hell, and his lips are soo soft.  He makes me really mad a lot of the time but at the end of the day, I wouldn't trade him for the world. Josh is unbelievably handsome  a hard worker always willing to help others a j...
