This week in fitness....

In my quest for health I have come to the conclusion that physical health is something that I need to focus on. Its a very daunting thought. How on earth am I going to find the time!?! there's work, the house and laundry. The kids, all of their activities...... ahhhhhh!!

Yet at the same time, can I afford not to? Is the fact that I put myself on the back burner actually making me UNhealthy? Is this something, that in the long run, will make me die earlier - with more pain. What will my quality of life be in 10 years? 15? 20?

Needless to say, it is something that I think I need to do. SO, I have decided to put kettlebells to the test. I have heard that they give you maximum results for the time put in. That sounds good. Right up my alley, actually! NOT that I won't have to work hard (cuz I will), just that I will get a lot out of it.

I have done a little research into this whole kettlebell thing and Lauren Brooks keeps coming up. She seems to have zoned in on a way to be strong and still womanly that really appeals to me. I want to feel strong. Long story short, I figure I'm gunna give it a try.

I bought this book on amazon a couple of weeks ago. It has taken me awhile to get to the point where I can think about doing this. 2 surgeries in 2 weeks isn't a fun thing to recover from!! I am going to start Wednesday and do the week 1 work out. I may not post pics.... its been a rough year and NO ONE wants that on the internet! But, I will post my progress as I work through the first 4 weeks of workouts. If I have 0 results in 4 weeks - FIRED. But I figure that I have to give it a fair shot for 4 weeks.

Lets see how I do!!
