I've been practicing Turbo Kick round 44 tonight.  It's so much fun!

I'm beyond thankful I get to be a Turbo Kick instructor.  It motivates me to keep going, even when I'm tired.  There have been days I know I would just come home and lay around like a slug if weren't for Turbo Kick.

Using Turbo Fire at home works great for me.  It gives me more quality time with Chalene - she is so encouraging.  She always seems to yell "You're not tired!" at the moment I need it most.  Using the dvds at home helps me learn how to be a better instructor.  I try to remember the phases she uses and incorporate them in my class. 

I want to attend an All Star Presenter Camp soon so I can focus on improving my technique.  This is something I want to stay with until I'm old and gray, so I want to be good at it.
 
I'll now be teaching two Turbo Kick classes a week!

I was teaching for another studio at the first of the year, but our schedules just didn't match up for March.  They contacted me on Monday to see if I was available to come back.  I can do a time slot they have open, which is great.  They have other Turbo Kick instructors there, which will give me the opportunity to take classes, too.  And I'm now locked in to at least 2 great workouts a week, which is pretty exciting.

I still plan on fitting in Turbo Fire workouts at home.  I need more than two workouts a week to be a happy person.  I also want to do some toning workouts to be ready for camp (yay camp!.  I just love Chalene, so I can't abandon her completely.  Sometimes I even watch the Turbo Fire infomercial while I am getting ready in the morning.  It's very motivating.  I can't believe all the lives Chalene has changed with her at home programs.  She is always positive and encouraging.  I hope to continue to learn more from her, both in fitness and in life.  Yes, I know I'm gushing.  She will be on GMA tomorrow, so I need to remember to set my Tivo when I get home tonight.

What's going on in your world?
 

 

 
Getting ready for camp No, not that kind of camp.  This summer, I will be a first time attendee of Camp Do More, hosted by the turbo queen, Chalene Johnson.  Its 3 1/2 days of workouts, motivational lectures, team competitions, fashion shows, etc.  I can't wait!  Plus, spending some time in Orange County in July sounds like a pretty nice vacation.

I'm also a little nervous.  I won't know a single person there.  My high school days as the not cool kid make me nervous I will still be the not cool kid.  Hopefully I will make some turbo friends and have a great turbo time.  The workouts and the team competitions scare me a little, too.  I don't want to pass out during a group workout.  That doesn't sound like something the cool kid does.  And those team competitions?  I've watched some of last years on youtube.  Which means I'll be on youtube.  In a hip hop routine.  Yikes.

So here a few things I need to do before Camp:
  • Shop!  I need cute dresses, cute shoes, etc.  Once I find out what team I'm on, I need to buy tons of cute workout clothes in the appropriate color.  
  • Workout.  Need to practice that not passing out thing.  I've cut back on my workouts lately, due to the extreme sinus infection that won't go away, and that pesky bout with mono.  
  • Workout.  I'd like to tone up a little more before I'm in a room with my fitness idol.  That's a bad time to feel mushy.  And I would think there would be some pool time, so that brings some swimsuit fears.  
  • Improve my eating habits.  See all the above points.  I've been heavily involved with Chex Mix lately, and we need to take a break.  Plus all the junk I've been consuming.  
And the plan:
  • Need to save some money for all that shopping.  Of course, I'm not returning any of the 3 pairs of shoes I bought today.  
  • I have my Turbo Kick class on Wednesdays, plus Turbo Fire to do at home.  Need to do the strength training workouts to build some muscle and burn some fat.  I have a heart rate monitor to track my calorie burn, which is motivating.
  • Time to start a food journal again.  I'm drinking my Shakeology twice a day for a while.  I need all those yummy vitamins so I don't get sick for the hundredth time this year, and it will help reduce my junk food cravings and keep me full.  
I'll be posting here how I'm doing as a way to keep myself accountable.  Please cheer me on when I need it, and nag me a little when I need it.

What goal are you working toward?
