hey, hey blog lovin friends- i'm moving on! technically I've MOVED on!
My original blog, Babe on a Bargain, was good and fun, BUT
a. my children never stood still in the outfits I had originally wanted to blog about
b. I don't necessarily aspire to be a 'babe'...
c. I love me a bargain, but have some serious new shopping rules in place that have dramatically curtailed my shopping experiences, making it much harder to blog about good deals (not that I really had in the last.... oh let's just say 12 months, anyway!!! )
d. it felt like it was time to start fresh.
So here I am- Sweet Life Z.
Why?
Life is crazy. good and bad. Where I thought this life would take me is NOT AT ALL where I've ended up- and because of all the highs and lows, This Life... it takes some work, thought, and conscious planning to make it what i want it to be, which is = sweet. Sweet for my babies. Sweet for my hubs. Sweet for me. Sweet for my friends. Sweet for those whom I can help... in whatever way that may be. Sweet.
I'm starting this blog off with a 30 day challenge- I find I am able to keep myself accountable when I DOCUMENT my goals and my progress towards them (ground breaking not at all, i know, right??)
Here's my plan
30 days of exercise- I have a computer FULL of complete, FREE workouts. I have feet that work and a beautifully paved town of streets to walk. I will exercise ever. single. day for the next 30 days, no matter what. AND because I can't seem to just do one thing at a time....
30 days o' bloggin.
Starting off with a BANG- when I take a bit of time to focus on myself I am a better momma, a better wife, and a better friend. When that time involves sweat and a little bit of creativity, I'm a MUCH better momma, wife, and friend!
TODAY's details
1. Sweat- 30 minute hip hop dance workout- a great way to ease my way back into sweating. Seemed a little slow at times, but I was working hard, burned 300 calories, and remembered that 'Hey!! I like exercising!! I can do it!' <--- pretty cool as I was feeling exceptionally unable to do a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. active due to my ridiculously out of shape self.
After I finished that, I decided I could do a little more and I found this ------>
Varzesh dancing sweat business which they say
' is a combination of yoga, zumba, aerobics, and cultural dance with Persian music'
25 ish minutes- 220 calories. LOVED IT!!! made me miss Zumba and seemed like a great at home alternative since our schedule is not conducive to attending class right now. I will definitely be looking up more of these videos this month! The instructor's got moves. for real. hips and arms and groove :-)
Total calories burned- 520- a great start to my 30 day challenge!

Here's to the next 30 days- you know I can't leave without some motivation from that delicious time suck that is Pinterest-
this is how I was feeling
and because I believe the following
We're off to the races to make this life what we want it to be
make it sweet, friends.
