You know you’re lifting good when your face gets fugly, haha! Plie squats a.k.a “Singit” workout for us Filipinos out there. 3 sets with 30, 10, 10 repetitions, respectively at 25lbs. Worked out mainly my shoulders, upper back, triceps and biceps and just added the singit workout for the win, lol.

Posted a new video from my favorite Sunday Zumba class in my blog 1skinnyhippo.tumblr.com and my youtube channel, youtube.com/user/1skinnyhippo.

Someone from the gym told me that Zumba does not work. I don’t know rxactly what she meant by it. Last year, for 3 straight months Zumba & portion control was all I did and I lost 3o lbs. I go to every zumba class that I can go to because I love it. Many may not love it as much as I do, but it’s something that keeps me on track for those days that I can’t really afford time to do much. Don’t let anybody discourage you for what they think is right or wrong. Do what YOU love and makes YOU happy.

My classmate, Joe gave me fresh eggs! I specifically asked for different colored ones. He’s starting a small poultry to sell eggs in the near future.

Really tired from studying all day for my fonal presentation in class tomorrow and for my Nursing entrance exam next week, errands and chores. Need to finish up the cakepops Im bringing for tomorrow’s last day of school potluck as well. My brain & body is just tired. I don’t have time to drive to the gym anymore or run outdoors, so I decided to do arms and shoulders in my room, practice #yoga poses in my living room & #acroyoga with Ava. Sean was our videographer, lol. I was able to workout & spend time with my kids. I can sleep with a smile on my face now :)

I thought that this was so sweet of my son, Sean. He made me stuffed monkey from scratch and Ava wants all the credit for it, haha.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Had to cool down after standing in line for kids rides at 90F of dry heat. Crazy!
