Gym Session :: 07/17/2011

Hey Everyone! This past week has been super crazy! I actually was really sick - had to go to the Doctor's twice.. and I was just a mess..


Also - My Husband's cousin's wedding was yesterday and although I have only been to like 3 weddings my whole life lol.. this one hands down was the most beautiful wedding i've attended. My Oldest daughter Tianna was one of the flower girls and it was such an amazing wedding. The venue was perfect and the setting was just so fitting. Had a lot of fun. so was not able to go to the gym as planned as of course Hubby & I are last minute shoppers and were trying to get an outfit the day of the event LOL.


Mind you i'm terrible at these kind of events on what to wear - the lady at Express had suggested a Red dress - was not sure if it was appropriate - so I asked my twitter friends and got sooo many mixed answers of yes, Go for it, to no way! lol..


luckily the dress looked horrid on me and I decided to go with a black dress, simple eyes and red lips. very elegant as I recall my hubby said :P (mind you I rarely ever wear Red lipstick!)


so we went to the Gym this evening (His other cousins and family members were still here from out of town to attend the wedding so we had lunch with them at a Seafood Buffet called Hokkaido - SUPER delicious.


was glad to be in the gym again - but of course it's a set back because of me being sick.. but that's all part of this journey! :) so this was my workout for the day.

Tip Tuesday :: 4 Moves to Sexier-Looking Legs :: Total Beauty

Hi Everyone! I wanted to get your thoughts! I have mentioned this on my twitter and i think in a blog post or two previously.. that I have a lot of things planned for my blog.


Every day of the week I will be sharing something with you all - kind of like a series :) i'm going to start gradually, and based on feedback and what not - I will become more consistent!


So for Tuesday - it's my Tip Tuesday! I'll be sharing any fitness/beauty/mommy related tips I may have found and wanted to share with all of you fellow fitness/beauty enthusiasts and mommies! :) Hope you enjoy!

4 Moves to Sexier-Looking Legs:

Wish you had the legs of Sarah Jessica Parker or Jessica Biel? Or maybe just legs you'd feel confident showing off in shorts, short dresses or skirts? Yeah, us too. That's why we did some research to figure out which leg workouts for women actually work. 

See four moves to sexier-looking legs now.

So what did we find? Well, after having a candid conversation with nutrition and fitness consultant Ashley Borden, we were sold on these four exercises, which she swears are really all you need. Yes, you can get your legs looking toned, lean and dare we say it -- sexy -- by adding these four simple moves to your usual workout routine.

Don't have a routine? Now's the time to start one. How to do that? Simple: Do 15 repetitions of each of these four moves and when you're done, do two minutes of cardio. Repeat the leg workouts for women set four times -- doing cardio between each set -- in order to get gorgeous-looking legs.
