First off, GO ALI on being the first female winner of The Biggest Loser! Girl Power!
OK, so yesterday began what I like to call "Hustle Season".
I made my first bulk CD purchase from a lady who responded to an ad on my local Cheapcycle site. I bought 90 CDs for $55 bucks and will probably triple my investment (last year I spent a little over $800 and netted over $2500) reselling them on Amazon. This is how I spend my spring/summer months - hustlin' around town, scoping out garage sales and newspaper ads, and making money.
What does this have to do with weight loss?
A WHOLE LOT!
This activity really keeps me on the go. I stay busy and active AND feel like I am being productive. I sat down this morning and made a list of actions to help maximize this summer's hustlin' and muscle-in'.
- Kill it on Fridays! Since Octavio has Fridays off (starting next week) I will be able to go off on my own on Fridays. No more loading and unloading Ori or trying to figure out two of them!
- Neighborhood Saturdays! This area is HUGE for weekend neighborhood yard sales. I love them! I park the car and walk the entire neighborhood looking for deals! The more steps, the better!
- Foot Mail! The post office is about a 10 minute walk. I think I will make a rule this summer that I can not buy postage ahead of time. Every other day, weather permitting, I will have to walk to the post office to mail out my orders. This will really help me get some extra steps in and give Ori an opportunity to go for a walk too.
- Stock up the ol' G-box. I need to stock my glove box up with healthy snacks so that I remember to eat while I'm on the go!
On another note...
I forgot to mention is yesterday's blog that I was proud of myself for doing my resistance band training and my 100 crunches on Monday night even though I felt like garbage. I am equally proud that I got an outside run in yesterday even though again, I felt like garbage. Thanks to Leslie for taking the time out of her evening to come over and run with me so I could get through it!
Challenge:
The real deal!
Give me 5 real push ups!
OK, some of you have been doing wall push ups for a while now. Get down on the ground and see if you can see any improvement on your real push ups! Yes, you can do modified :)
Bet you feel a difference!

I thought five push ups would be nothing, boy was I wrong! I have not done them in SO long. I did five and then five more modified.
It definitely takes about 5 push-ups to get into the groove, but I gave it a shot with success. I am a garage sale nut, I've already been looking through the paper to see what I can find. I've found some great deals at Monster Auctions. I'm not sure if they have any near you or not, but they are great!
Hope your feeling better!
I did five push ups! And you're right, I didn't have to struggle to do them. Yay!
Can I ask you what kind of crunches you do? The kind I do sometimes hurt my back so I know that either I'm not doing it right or I just suck. LOL.
Go you for being a productive momma! Michael has been talking about doing the exact same thing you described (hustling). I didn't realize that it really produced money though. Way to go Michelle!
The weather is glorious. Enjoy it!
Way to go you three!
Leigh - I lay on the floor, with my knees bent and my hands behind my head and use my ab muscles to pull my head and neck up as far as I can. I do not go all the way up like a sit up, just enough to feel it in my abs.
Might I suggest rolling a hand towel and tucking it under your back?
