10 indoor activities to do when the weather is CRAP
So the weather here has been Crap! Crap, crap, crap!!! Even the local weatherman was using words like, "terrible" and "couldn't get any worse." So I have told Toby that we will probably not be going for a walk today.
I also thought I would list some activities to keep me busy on days like these... Because here in New Zealand there are a lot of those days (like mama said). What are yours??
1. Catch up on episodes on the Real Housewives or Shahs of Sunset....don't judge
2. Clean: underwear drawer, spice cabinet, closet (purge-so you can shop more
3. Bake something yummy-then practiced self-control by not eating the whole thing (2-for-1)
4. Revamp my iTunes play lists (this is way overdue!)
5. Read that book I downloaded 3 months ago and never got around to
Oh, that's only five...sorry I got distracted by Chloe on FARFETCH.com guess that's No. 6.....
7. Book fantasy vacations in warm tropical locations
8. Google traditional rain-stop dances
9. Take a nap while listening to the rain because your exhausted from the rain-stop dancing
10. Excessive amounts Instagram and Pinterest time......because those are always a good idea
:) Be sure to share your favorite rainy day activities with me

Body Rock is in the house tonight......30-day body transformation
In a little over a month I will be in Costa Rica for 5 glorious days celebrating one of my dearest friends wedding. While this sounds magical (and I'm sure it will be) it also brings waves of inner panic over my frontal lobe as I think about having to be in a bikini for that amount of time in front of a lot of people....I know, I know, it's not about me it's about the bride and groom and their love. But if I allowed the superficial side of my psyche to speak "it's also about looking great in that bikini, at least a little." So in the spirit of self-improvement I have embarked on the 30-DAY BODY TRANSFORMATION. This program on Body Rock TV gives you a day-by-day workout video (free on You-Tube). There are also E-books for less than $12.00 on the website that provide additional resources such as a journal and a diet guide. The cool thing about Body Rock TV is that their have tons (ok, hundreds) of great video workouts online you can access.
Abs, butts, and thighs beware! These are killer HIIT workouts that give you a great workout in minimal amount of time (win-win situation for me). Seriously, after two different 25 minute workouts day 1, and day 2 I'm just as sore as when I have worked out for an hour (classes, personal trainer).
This is one of the many options for quick, high-intensity workouts!!
These are the three E-books I chose. I started reading the nutrition guide and so far I love the format and the "to the point" concise information. Much of it is information that I already know, but it's a good reminder that helps me to re-focus on REALLY clean eating habits. I also cleaned out my refrigerator and pantry because if the "unclean" empty calories are not here I can't eat them.
Not sure what I will look like at the end of the thirty days, but, it will be a good practice in discipline to stick to this and the "clean eating" program--which will be important as I have just read that Abs are 80% diet and 20% exercise....and hopefully I can go for a long walk on the beach, into the sunset with my rediscovered Abs. :)
