Turbo Jam

I have just ordered the "New Turbo Jam Elite" and got them in the mail today I am so excited to start doing these again! In the past when I was not running I would do Turbo Jam almost everyday and I loved working to Chalene she's so much fun and I always feel great after doing it! So, I wanted to take some pictures of my body before or how it is today and then Im going to take some "after" pictures in about 6wks to see if I have seen any results to working out to the "new" Turbo Jam Elite that I will be doing 5days a week but making modifacations as I go along not putting too much pressure on my body! I cant wait and am looking to have some good results in the next 6wks!! Also, if you have not ever tried Turbo Jam I think you should!! I am not much for dieting but love working out so Im way excited to get a nice toned flat stomach which I struggle with!!

Stay tuned for my 6wk picture update!

This is how my workout schedule will look like:
Monday and Wednesday
Cardio Party #2 & 3T-Tube workout-plus Ab Jam

Tuesday and Thursday
Cardio Party #3 & Lower Body Jam-Plus Ab Jam


Friday
Turbo Fat Blaster

Not running right now.

So many of you have asked how my "health" issues are going and so I thought I would do a post about it so you can catch up date on it with everyone else.

As alot of you know I have a broken/fracture pelvis. If your wondering how I managed to do that Im still wondering myself. However, the several Dr's I have seen since July think it may have been from "Overtraining" in other words too much RUNNING. I actually didn't think I was running too much in the summer I thought I was doing pretty dang awesome! Then Wa-Baam. I came to a screetching holt while doing the 4th of July 10K.

After not running for the entire summer I had to get ready fast for the San Fransisco Marathon and I trained for 3wks for it and I did it, and it was very painful but I finished so who cares..?NOT ME. When we got home from San Fran I went immediatly to the Dr's and sure enough there was a break in the Pelvis. Still to this day cant figure out when it actually happened sometime between July and October. Actually the Dr thinks I had a stress fracture in July but we did not spot it on the X-Ray because it was so small then when I trained for the 3wks I just made it worse not knowing it was broken in the first place. Again I am pretty much on bed-rest for awhile.

Now here it is Janruary and still not improving. I have been to the Dr's 4x's for X-rays and no improvement but I have to tell you something it may be my own fault heres why..? Back in November I did my follow up and sure enough no improvement on the X-ray but the Dr wanted to get me into a specialist that week but before doing so he wanted to get another Dr's opionion and that Dr said "oh no shes fine she can start to workout slowly taking it easy then increasing it over the next few months"well I did take it easy and still painful but I just pushed myself through it because I did it before and lived through the pain so I just thought it was going to last forever or until its all the way healed. I was wrong the Dr was wrong the one who said I could work out he was way wrong. I went back in Janruary for the follow up visit and this time my Dr insisted I must see a Orthopedic Surgeon right away because even though I have been excersing my Pelvis should look a bit better but its not at all so it really concerns him. In November I did ask him what else it could be from preventing my Pelvis not to heal and he wasn't sure but he did mention to me that it could be something more serious like a Tumor or Bone Cancer thats not lettting my bones heal the way the should be by this time. Tumors and Cancer scare the hell out of me so here I am today just trying to deal with what he has told me.

Yesterday(Friday) I saw a Orthopedic Specialist and he ordered me to do a CT Scan and MRI's to see what excately is going on in there and if its more serious than I had expected it to be.? The Dr I saw on Friday was not my favorite Dr so I called my aunt Jo who knows Utah's #1 Trauma Orthopedic Specialist and got me in to see him so I will be following up with him.

For now I just will have to do those test on Monday and get the results from the Dr on the 27th. I am scared I dont want to die or be sick or be disabled FOREVER I love my life too much to have this happen to me.

As far as running or excersizing its done with for along time but I really dont care if I just knew I was going to get better and not be sick with some rare bone cancer or something scary like that. I dont care whatever it takes I will do. I will get better!!

Me nervous as hell at the Dr's on Friday

Running again.

Well as you can remember from my post in October after doing the San Fransisco Marathon I said I had a broken Pelvis. Well, its been since then since my last run and I have gotten the ok from my Dr to begin running again. I just started 2 weeks ago and have been running4miles/5days a week a total of 20miles a week. At first I thought I would take it easy and do 1-2miles at a time and I did for the first day then I couldn't stand it so I had to increase the mileage and I felt great. I have pain a dull pain but I dont hurt the next day so I figure why not run if I feel good enough to.?Also, I have been running in the extreme cold weather conditions its not as cold as you would think it would be but you do have to have the right running gear. I have EVERYTHING I love running clothes. This is what I wear all winter long to keep warm on my 6am 4mile runs.

Christmas

After a fun stay at Daniels Summit the next morning was Christmas. On the way home from Daniels we dropped off Tycee at Dave's and Paige with Candy for the night and they come home Christmas afternoon. Tycee and Paige asked for everything under the sun but most of all wanted a WII. What did Tycee and Paige get from Santa this year..?

In my family every year we go to Daniels Summit for Christmas snowmobiling trip. The kids love it and so do we its such a good fun time and we all have fun hanging out together. This year we all headed up on Monday morning and stayed until Wednesday night. This year was very special because my sister Troye and Arian were here from Oklahoma and they were able to come this year with us for the very first time!!
When we got to Daniels Summit everyone was starving ready to eat a good dinner.

After dinner on Monday night Aage my step dad dressed up like Santa as he does every year for the grandkids.

Tripp was not happy with Santa.

I pulled off a Thanksgiving Feast

Terry and I decided to have Thanksgiving this year at our house with just a small crowd the kids and my Mom,Step Dad and Sister. I did everything except for the Turkey and Stuffing. This is how it all went for me for the last 2 days. First things first I started my 13 layer rainbow jello on Wednesday morning while getting Tycee ready for Dave's,Tripp crying at my feet and the wash piling up to the ceiling in the laundry room. The jello took me yes pretty much up until about a few hours before eating, its a long process not hard just very time consuming. While the jello is setting in the fridge, I needed to make a NY Style Cheesecake for Terry since he doesnt really like pie all that much.
Me at the beginning of the of it all

So here it goes I found a recipe for the cheesecake and ran around town tracking down a Springform pan for the cake to set in, lucky for me my neighbor had one. The Cheesecake wasn't too difficult again just time consuming but I did it and I made it all from scratch. After making the Cheesecake I started all the crust for the pies. I also made the crust and pie from scratch as well. I was up until 3AM baking Pumpkin, Apple, and Banana Cream pies.

After baking the Apple -looks good huh!!

Finally when I was about to settle down and go to bed Terry jokelingly said,"what if the mice get to the pies" I panicked a bit but was so tired I didnt really care. By the way we dont really have mice Terry just likes to say stupid things like that to get me all worked up however, I did check on them a few times during the night just to make sure.

This is how my pies looked when I woke up to check on them during the middle of the night
BEAUTIFUL!!

On Thursday morning I made rolls, yams, green bean salad and a few other a little things and did the final touches to all my pies and yummy food. By 2o'clock everything was set and ready for us to eat finally!!
The Dinner table all set

I must say so myself I was pretty impressed with all the baking and cooking I have just done and you might be asking yourself now,"what the heck I didn't know Tiana can cook" well...Its true very true I can cook and I can actually cook pretty well too so I was excited to show off my cooking/baking skills. Everyone was impressed and I got lots of compliments about how yummy the food was.
