The results of my and hubs’ annual physical exams came. Mine is normal, everything in line. Hubby has still high sugar count, ugh. During the exam, I asked the doctor how much weight should I lose, and he said I’m not overweight, and that I have a normal BMI of 26, so he just advised me to workout more to tone my body and continue with the healthy eating habits. It’s actually my husband that needs to lose weight because of his Type 2 Diabetes, but with his work schedule (he works at night), I find it so hard to drag him to a regular workout routine. We’re just watching what he’s eating and encourage him to walk around more when he’s awake.
My week actually started with me getting sick. We came home from our Hot Locks Dolls Party when I suddenly started having 102 temp. It’s weird because I never get sick without my kids or husband getting sick first. Anyway, I got better by Wednesday and I started getting back to my workout routine. I did Taebo, and EA Sports Active More Workouts. I also tried a 20 minute Zumba video workout that I found online. I had so much fun with it, that once I’m done with my EA Sports Active six week challenge, I’ll do more Zumba. And if I have Earth Footwear to go along with the dancing, it would be the perfect workout routine!
Now that my left shoulder is better, after three months of therapy, I also started following a resistance training routine I found from Self.com using light weights but more repetitions. It’s more focused towards my arms as I would like to see toned arms by June, hopefully.
Next week will more likely be just getting more into the groove of working out, as I’m trying to get back after being swamped with work for two weeks.

It must feel great to be told you are not overweight and that you have a normal BMI. And I know you will continue to be successful!
Weight training baby yeah! You are going to be doing what I am doing now. How can we get your dh to workout more?

Yay for a better shoulder! I’m happy that your physical exam results came back clear. I know it’s hard for your husband with his shift, but encouraging him to eat a healthy diet and move when he can is definitely going to make a big difference. I’m so proud of you for getting your whole family involved in your healthy lifestyle change.

Yay! I was also going to ask for the link to the Zumba video. Thanks for posting that! Sorry you were sick. Yuck!
I can’t imagine ever hearing a doctor tell me I’m not overweight. New goal! Sorry to hear about your husband’s blood sugar. I hope you can figure out a way to get him moving with you. I can’t get mine on board right now either simply because he doesn’t have any time.
I love reading about your fitness family. Have a great week!
Congrats on the healthy BMI! Now I hope your family is able to find the best course of action for your husband. Good luck to him. It is hard working at nights when our daily rhythms are naturally tuned to. Also a big woohoo for your shoulder! You will be sculpted by summer!

That’s so awesome that your BMI is under control. What you are doing for yourself and your family is so inspiring. Good luck to your husband. I have been working on getting mine moving more too!
