Army Wives watching Army Wives

by 9 Comments

Lifetime sent me an advanced copy of the first episode of season 6 of Army Wives.  Well I knew I couldn’t just sit and watch it by myself and I needed some girl time.  I invited some friends over, we had a potluck and watched the first episode of Army Wives season 6.  It was so much fun!  I knew it would be a fun night and we all had a blast!  A bunch of Army wives watching Army Wives. Afterwards I asked everyone to share what they thought of the first episode.  I am not going to tell you what everyone said but I think it is safe to assume that you will enjoy the episode as much as we did 🙂  I will write another post after it airs to talk about what we all thought 🙂

It was obvious to us that us Army girls go through a lot of the same types of issues and it was so helpful to be able to talk about some of them together.  I think getting through the harder parts of the Army life is much easier when you know you are not doing it alone.

 

Don’t forget to tune in on Sunday March 4th  at 9/8c on Lifetime 🙂

Fun Ways to Work Out at Home

Fun ways to work out at home

 

I just had my birthday and received some money.  I decided to buy a couple of games with it.

1) Wii Fit Plus– I bought Wii Fit back in 2009 and had a lot of fun with it.  But it was getting a little boring.  The reviews on the Plus looked good so I decided to buy it.    This is what I really like about it:

* Option to just get your weight/BMI instead of always having to have it check your balance too.  I mean that’s cool every once in a while but not on a daily basis.

* Multi Player-You can each take turns playing some of the games.  The boys and I did this for a little bit the other night.

* You can weigh babies and pets and set up profiles for them.

* Fun new exercises.  They have a bunch of new games/exercises to try.  Cycling is my favorite so far but hasn’t tried them all yet.

* Set up workout plans.  You can choose from preset plans or create your own strength training/yoga workouts.

You don’t have to rebuy the whole system if you have Wii Fit.  It will just important your Wii Fit information for you.

2) Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout for the Xbox Kinect–  I am really enjoying the workouts on this one.  It is either Bob or Jillian and it will tell you if you are doing each of the exercises right.  They also will ask if you are doing ok and you answer them vocally.   You can choose how long you want to workout too.  What I don’t like is that when I was trying to do a body scan it kept saying I was 5’4 and I am really 5’9.  I couldn’t get it to scan me right.  I also had the hardest time trying to customise my character simply because of having to use the Kinect to do it.  I wish when it came to stuff you have to enter there was an option to use the controller.  It also might be that I just need to play with it more and get more comfortable with the hands-free stuff.  You can also enter your calories or any other outside exercises you have done during the day.

I am going to switch off with these 2 programs and Dance Central to do something every day.  I haven’t given up on the 30-day shred but I haven’t done it in a couple of days so I will be getting back to that too.

What do you use to work out at home?  It can be so hard to get to a gym when you have little ones around.

Family Movie Night A Walk in My Shoes

by Leave a Comment

I was recently contacted by Walmart/P&G about their new movie A Walk in My Shoes to air December 3rd, 2010 at 8/7c on NBC.  It will air during Family Movie night which I thought was a great idea. That will allow families to come together and watch something great. Something they know will be good for everyone to watch. Sometimes it can be hard to find a movie that is good for everyone in the family.

“A Walk in My Shoes” makes viewers stop and think, “What would I learn if I stepped into someone else’s life?” Stressed-out high school teacher Trish Fahey (Nancy Travis, “Three Men and a Baby,” “Becker”) can’t understand her students’ lack of effort in the classroom and why their parents don’t seem to care. This is especially true of Justin Kremer (Cameron Deane Stewart), a popular, skateboard-loving, basketball star who is underperforming in her class. Trish has him suspended from the basketball team and quickly chalks up the situation as a case of bad parenting.

This perspective dramatically changes when Trish meets Molly (Yara Martinez), a mysterious stranger intent on helping her see things differently. After a car accident, Trish wakes to find herself living the life of Cindy Kremer (Jana Lee Hamblin), the woman she has rashly judged and criticized. Molly helps Trish discover that there is more to the story and learns a powerful lesson that affects everyone she interacts with, including her husband, daughter and the Marine next door. No one is left unchanged.”

I am a big fan of movies with a special message behind them.  This one looks like it will be a great one with a great message.  There is a tie in with the military which is great to see and I can’t wait to see this movie when it airs.
