Bathroom Junk and Workouts...

As you can assume from the subject, this post is ten kinds of random!.. so I was just stalking the Pottery Barn website (umm surprise, surprise!), and I cam accross tons of ideas that I want to recreate without the steep pricetag. There is something so chic, but cozy and lived in about these and I fell in love:
 
 

Workouts!

So I am proud to say that I have lost 12 lbs.. since I started changing things.. and 7 since I stopped the pill.. I am so excited to keep going and to see what I can accomplish with some work and dedication! To be my ideal, perfect weight, I only have 23 more to go! That isnt too terribly much.  Last night I was browsing through my Women's Heath - Big Book of Exercises last night.  If you don't have it already, I highly recommend it. Everything is broken down step by step with pictures (even the grips of weights), and they tell you optimal reps/sets... give you circuits and running workouts. Also, I decided that I am going to run the full Illinois Marathon this year. I figured if i can tackle a half, I can tackle a full 26.2 miles!

Here are some fun/different exercises I found: ( you may have to Google How to do them, as I can't get the pictures for them)

Shoulders - Weight Plate front raise, Bent Arim Lateral Raise and External Rotation, Barbell Shrug
Arms - Swiss - Ball Preacher curl, EZ Bar Lying Triceps Extension
Quads/Calves- Swiss Ball Body Weigh Wall Squat, Iso Explosive body weight Jump squat, Valslide Hip Adduction (wow, I have to do this)
Glutes/Hams - Swiss Ball Hip Raise, reverse hip raise, Single Leg Barbell Good morning, Barbell step ups
Core - Swiss ball pike, Medicine Ball Leg Drop
Total Body - Dumbbell hang pull (one I have never done)

There is also several pages of warm up exercises I am dying to try!
