Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap

Guten Morgan this fine Monday.  I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week.  (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days.  I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight.  I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.)  Friday was exhausting y'all.  I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10.  Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias.  Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over.   So Friday morning I got to work picking of...

What better Christmas gift for yourself?

You guys, I am so excited!

I know you've heard me talk about Ilaria Montagnani before.  She's the ripped instructor behind the Powerstrike (affiliate link)  and Atletica DVD's that we love so much.  You can imagine my excitement (okay and a little dread- HA!) when I saw this on her Facebook page.

The Atletica DVD we have is by far one of the hardest workouts we own.  Even when other workouts that used to kick our butts are now not quite getting the job done, Atletica always delivers.  So the fact she's releasing three more of them gets me pumped for new workouts because I love the challenge and she's a tough cookie!  The new Powerstrikes and Bodystrikes are a welcome sight too because she puts you through the paces but in a way that makes you feel like you can do it even if a move is advanced.  All of her DVD's can be modified and you can up your intensity when you're ready.

Do you know why else I'm excited?  Because Ilaria allowed me the privilege of an interview and when the DVD's are released, I'll be posting it!  I learned a great deal about her that I never knew and I can't wait for you to read it.

If you want to learn more about Ilaria, you can visit her website or Facebook page.

    If you were to choose one of her DVDs for a beginner, which one would you recommend?

      Hmm, her Powerstrike and Bodystrike workouts are more cardio oriented and I feel like they're easily modified if you can't do a move. The Atletica's are definitely strength oriented but done in a circuit fashion so they're like strength with a cardio benefit. You'd definitely be wiped out when they're done!

    I just kind of randomly stumbled upon your blog, but have spent some time going through older posts. I just wanted to comment and say how inspiring your story is! I really, REALLY admire your dedication and commitment to your health and weight loss and your reasonable approach to it all. I'm also really inspired to re-introduce the word "jackhole" into my vocabulary. Seriously. Hilarious.
