New in the New Year:2011

This week I joined a new fitness studio, all classes all the time!  I did my first class TRX and it was wild!  I met so many great people and the instructors are super nice.   And they even offer ballet, which I would love! This stemmed from my follow-up with my orthopedic doctor, I am down for high impact-running that is- for another 4-6 weeks, MRI shows 2 stress fractures and likely an old fracture that has healed over.  Crazy, so this is my new venture to fill the void of not being able to run it!  Well wish me luck on toning this body, dropping a few more, and to a healthy rest of my life!

Let me say yum, this week I tried a new recipe!   First I made an angel food cake, which was a first for me! Ha!  Not as difficult as anticipated.  Those egg whites, rough!  Then I made an icing for it using FF whipped cream and pineapples.  Delish!  At least I like it!  And the best part very low in fat!  So this was my super bowl party bring a dish to share!  Anyway most of it was eaten, so I can only assume others liked it to!  A new favorite for me!   Tried anything new lately yourself?

Hmmm, whats new this week?  A more quiet week, but still room for something new! Ha! Boxing!  I have added boxing to my workout routine, Love it!  I have been using the Wii active boxing and also just doing general boxing moves in our basement( which is out workout room currently, until the husband returns home, Ha).  I do about 15-20 minutes every other day, but it is quite the workout.  It's fun, constant cardio, and I am seeing results which is all that matters!  Well I have changed many things since I haven't been able to run that have led to my results, so here I go boxing and strength, cardio, & abs to cut this gut! Ha! Maybe you'll give it a try, warning though, its addicting...

WOW! Wednesday is here again, so fast! Ha! New since the last  NITNY post is a recipe I invented on my own.  Ha!  It may be out there but I thought of it on my own, so let me have my glory!  Yeah, as if I am ever after my own glory, Ha! So I mixed carrots and apples and celery in our slow cooker with a little brown sugar and cinnamon glaze.  While it was tasty, the apples turned to mush, so it's sort of like carrots in apple sauce.  But it is good.  I  would post a picture but it definitely tastes better then it looks!  It's one I'll keep on the books!  What was your new this week?

Oh and a side note:  Happy happy Birthday to my Amy who is 30 today!  This is the year girl, thankfully your first! Ha!  Love ya and hope you have a fabulous birthday, you deserve every minute of it!

My new this week is a new I- Pod App! So now my running has evolved into a full on scheduled training, and it's funny because I am still not training for anything specific or even know if I will.  I am just doing it because I love it! I enjoy the freedom and quiet time that I have during my runs.  So now, it's running and cross training.  I have been using the Nike Training App for Women, recommended by Marge, thx girl!  And it is kicking my but! Let's just say I am not sure running  uses all of your muscles!  There are some new ones I didn't know were even there! Ha! But it really is great, it keeps me moving and interested and it is far from boring!  And the best part its a free App! Love it! And I also have to report that this past week I ran my fastest mile pace, less than 11 minutes!  Thanks God!



Try the app if you are up for a challenge!  Let me know what you think!

So this week, my new in the new year, is my new cut!  Reinventing yourself is a great way to keep life fun and exciting.  I have said before I absolutely love change, it is exciting, new, anything but mundane! Ha!  So here it is.... introducing my pixie. 

 Thats right, I had my stylist, Lisa cut it all off!  I really like it, it is fun, but i am still getting used to it and playing to style it differently.  So far everyone has liked it, but you never know people may just be "playing nice" Ha!  But I like it and that is really all that matters.  Oh yeah and my husband really likes it!  And as long as I look good for him... right! 

So what are you doing new in this new year?  Whatever it is I hope it's fun!
