Twinkle Tuesday--Pinterest Mission Abs

I know it has been ages since I have done a "Twinkle Tuesday" post.  For months, it seems like my blog has just taken off, and my old schedule seems "out the window."  But I haven't stressed over it.  And it just so happens I get to share something tonight that I really liked!





Now, I know that this doesn't seem very earth-shattering.  Everyone knows that these kinds of exercises will strengthen the abs.  But sometimes it is hard to get motivated.  I have pinned several sites, but I find myself coming back to this one.

There is not tutorial with this, but I can tell you what I did.  I did some old-fashioned sit-ups.  We probably know how to do those.  And I am clear on crunches.  Bicycle crunches are just pedaling your feet while doing the crunches.  The V-sits are just forming a "V" with your body.  Reverse crunches?  Legs straight in the air while lifting your rear slightly off the floor.  And a plank.  Start a push-up and just stay there for 1 minute without taking a break.  (If you need to see how to do these exercises, just google them!  I promise there are loads of workout sites there that will tell you how to do them properly.)

I did this routine twice tonight.  And it is tough!  I took a break between the two sets.  I attempted to go straight through the exercises without taking much of a break (if any).  And I know I will feel it tomorrow.  I plan to do this workout three more times this week.

I did go to the site listed on the picture--it ended up redirecting me to two different sites, and there really wasn't a whole lot.  Except I discovered this pin:

This site has loads of videos and workouts for you to do at home.  Why did I pin the timer?  Well, the videos change daily, so I thought this would work better for me.

So, check out any of the sites on my Mission Abs pinboard, and if you have any you think I should add, please do!  I am always willing to find new sites and helps in this area!  At least I have exercised twice this week, and I feel pretty good about it.

Pretty on Pinterest--Winter


Welcome to Pretty on Pinterest! This meme is hosted by Simply Stacie and Sassy Mama in LA every Thursday where you can link up your posts on the theme of the week. Each week we will have a different theme for you to find pins you love on Pinterest and create a post to link up here.
This week’s theme is Winter.

As I write this, it is currently snowing, so winter is happening right outside my window.  Need to make your own snowflakes?


Maybe you would like to make a snowman, but there is no snow where you are.  Here's a simple idea for you and kiddos!




Or even this one!



But I have to admit that I really love this idea!  I have made something similar to these several times, and they can be a mess and a pain, but I assure you that your kids will love them!



Maybe you feel like celebrating the season of winter tonight.  Check this out!






Or if a hot drink to celebrate winter is more to your liking:


And this is just too cute!!



So glad we are still in winter!



I want to thank Simply Stacie for this post.  That is why I can now embed pinterest links/pictures in my blog post!

Pretty on Pinterest: Week One-Diamonds


Well, I decided to jump on in in this new meme.  Here are the instructions:
Welcome to Pretty on Pinterest! This meme is hosted by Simply Stacie and Sassy Mama in LA every Thursday where you can link up your posts on the theme of the week. Each week we will have a different theme for you to find pins you love on Pinterest and create a post to link up here.
This week’s theme is Diamonds.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Follow Simply Stacie and Sassy Mama in LA on Pinterest.
  2. Create a themed post using your favourite pins. Be as creative as you like just as long as it fits the theme in some way.
  3. Link up your post on the linky below.
  4. Visit other people’s posts and discover some new pretty pins for your collection!

Link up your Diamond posts! We reserve the right to delete any posts that do not fit this week’s theme.

So here goes.  I found some interesting links on pinterest this week in keeping with the theme.  Okay, I did it tonight.
I don't know about you, but I don't have the money to go out and buy a diamond ring, so just in case you are looking for a cheap alternative, check this out:
I didn't know you could make one from aluminum foil!  This would be terrific considering our current economic crisis!

But there is even a cheaper way to have that diamond you always wanted!
I didn't know you could draw a diamond ring!  I wonder how many guys could get a girl to say yes with either of these!  


And this Christmas decoration is outstanding, in my opinion!  I hope I could make it for next year!
In case you wonder, Christmas is something that I think about all year long.  And you can't beat Christmas and diamonds!

And for all the Martha Stewart fans out there ...

I doubt I would ever make these, but they are really pretty, and they are diamond-shaped.  
Actually, I would prefer these to the fake diamonds from early!

Looking forward to next week! Thanks, Simply Stacie!
