How to download your free song Green Is The Colour by Truth Movement
Truth Movement’s Green Is The Colour
Hello Guys and Ghouls,
It’s our favorite time of year. A time when we can all celebrate death,,,,er I mean LIFE! I love Halloween. The whole family does. Do you have some good Halloween or ghost stories you would like to share with the rest of us? I do, it goes a little something like this………………..
On scary night in November, the air was as thick, as the tension growing in it. Clamoring noises came from a long dark, dismal hallway. Lying beaten on the ground, I use all of my strength to pick my head up long enough, to catch a slight glimpse of the ghastly site coming right at me. Through the haze, my eye catches a reflection off the glimmer of a drop of blood falling from the thin tip of a finger, lunging towards me. What is this?……. Where am I?……. Then as the fear rises from the unknown, it suddenly becomes clear what these haunting sounds and images mean. It is the distant hope of our Countries future being slaughtered in the night because someone forgot to go vote on November 4th. And the clamoring I hear is the sound of John McCain moving into The White House. The blood I see is that of an innocent animal Sarah Palin just shot from a helicopter……………………………………………………………………………. THIS NIGHTMARE DOES NOT HAVE TO BECOME A REALITY!!!!!!! PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO VOBAMA!!!!! Seriously we are in the scariest time the world has seen in over a half a Century, and the environment is in the worst shape in mans history. We must TAKE A STAND!!!! Now is the TIME!!!!

Hi Everyone,
I am really excited to write this weeks blog. Sorry I haven’t written in a while but Iv’e been really busy travelling ,and saving up for all of the big announcements. THE NEW TM ALBUM IS HERE!!!!! But I’ll get back to that in a minute. First off I want to say what a great pleasure it was to visit Great Brittan with my family. Zen had a wonderful time in London. We all had an amazing time. Everyone was so nice and respectful. The people who ran the festival were very helpful and courteous. The Q and A was remarkable, and the audiences reception of The Birthday was overwhelming. What an inspiration to watch so many of you enjoying the film finally. It was also good to see Laura there, she has very pretty eyes. All of the English fans were great. I also liked the guy with the License to Drive tattoo. Now on to the big announcements.
So I have finally decided to release the new Truth Movement album as the first release from my new label CiFi records. Because it is my first time doing this it is going to be a VERY grass roots organisation. Meaning I am going to need ALL OF YOUR HELP! Henceforth the name Truth Movement, the truth is what we talk about, and the movement is what we do together. So how you can help, is by spreading the word that it’s coming, and as you get your copies, hoping you like them, you can then spread the word that it’s worth checking out. As a first ever release we will be doing the release in stages. The process should go something like this:
Official release date……November 25th 2008. On that day the album will go digital and be available on your typical download able sites such as itunes, ect. It is also the target date to get physical copies in stores but that may get delayed a bit. But have no fear…….YOU CAN PREORDER TODAY!!!!! As of now the CD is officially posted in the music store of the main site www.coreyfeldman.net. If you order your copy now you can get it before Thanksgiving. Just think what a perfect stocking stuffer. But here’s another great reason to order now……..THE FIRST 50 TMTA buyers will receive a brand new limited edition FREE TM T-SHIRT. Once youv’e completed your order with PAYPAL, come back to the blog, and leave your order number with your preferred shirt size (one per album) although we can’t guarantee the size as they will be limited. If you are one of the first 50 orders you will receive your shirt with your CD free of charge. Remember you must leave a blog entry with your order number and tshirt size.
Now let me give you some details about the album. First of all the album looks amazing. Storm Thorgerson’s artwork is truly breathtaking on AMAZINGLY GLOSSY 100% RECYCLED PAPER!! The CD comes in a Digipak that looks like an old album sleeve. Inside you will find a 10 page color booklet. With complete lyrics and credits, and again featuring Storm Thorgerson and Peter Curzon’samazing art. All in all Storm contributed 2 actual photographs (front and back cover) and 4 drawn renderings which all help depict the greater story of the album. Storm also created a new TM logo which will be featured in the new artwork. The package overall is worth the money alone, especially considering the packaging as a whole is 100% biodegradable and non earth damaging. We proudly spent a little bit extra to get 100% RECYCLED PAPER. CORN PLASTIC DISC TRAY (made of corn) and we even printed everything with SOY INK!! So essentially if you don’t like the album you can simply throw it in the Ocean and it will just go back to nature. Hopefully you’ll keep it……LOL…..now for the music.
The album consists of 13 tracks. Running almost an hour in length. The album tells a story, it has a beginning, middle, and an end. But it is very full circle which is to say it will leave you exactly where you start. You could describe the experience as a motion picture for your mind. Recorded in 5.1 Dolby digital and mastered at Capitol Records on the exact same board Dark Side of the Moon was created on.The album moves like a train moving through musical soundscapes of a collection of classic rock, R andB style songs, fused with trance/electronica and atmosphere creating a musical journey for the listener unlike any sounds you have heard together before. The track listing is as follows:
1. In The beginning
2. Ezekiels Wheels
3. Breezy Day
4. Me Not You
5. OK pt 1
6. OK pt 2
7 OK pt3 (final thoughts)
8. Disconnected
9. Crossed the Line
10. Believe
11. Coming Back Around
12. Green Is The Colour
13. Trust No One
This album I feel is my greatest artistic accomplishment.to date. I am not saying it is for everybody because it is not. I am just truly proud to have been a part of creating it. I however in no way did it alone. Truth Movement is a band of amazingly talented young LA based musicians. Starting with the sensational guitar and writing work from Rob Heskin. His solos are truly lingering. The drums are always in the pocket thanks to the very talented Chuck Erwin who also contributes to writing a song. The bass was performed by genius Executive Producer Andrew Bojanic. Background vocals by the soulful Liz Hooper. Then we have our guest artists……..
Very luckily we have Marc Karan back. Marc plays lead guitars on Breezy day and Disconnected and a few others. Marc first appeared on the first TM album over 10 years ago, doing most of the lead work on SSFS, but then went on to join Bob Weirs Rat Dog, playing and singing Jerry Garcias parts on the Grateful Dead songs. He also has amazing solo work, and we are lucky to have him back.
Next we have one of the greatest saxophonists I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. The great Scotty Page Scotty has worked with dozens of todays biggest names in music. Most poignantly Scotty performed with PinkFloyd for 3 years and recorded the Momentary Lapse of Reason album with them. He does an equally amazing job both starting and closing the album.
Next on the upbeat, dance song Crossed The Line we have the lovely and talented German pop star Nina Kristen singing the Choruses.
Finally, we were blessed with having a true genius grace our presence, with luck of persuading Jon Carin to join us. Jon who has performed/produced/written with the likes of Pink Floyd and The Who but has primarily been a member of Pink Floyd in every formation for the last 25 years. He is amazingly talented and lent endless creativity to this project. Jon co produced 2 of the tracks on the album, as well as co writing, and appearing on 7 tracks all together. Jon is the first male I have ever done a duet with on an album, and the result was well….Green!
This album is really for you the fans, and for the world as a whole. I was fortunate enough to stumble across this blog website www.itsuptoallofus.blogspot.com. It was the first words I have heard from outside feedback on the song and I must say I got a bit choked up reading it. Honestly THANK YOU from the BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!! Those are the MOST BEAUTIFUL things that have ever been said about my art and it MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!!!!
So remember the ALBUM is NOW AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY through www.coreyfeldman.net FIRST 50 get a FREE T SHIRT!!!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts once you have it.
One last note for the week. CONGRATULATIONS to RICHARD and LAUREN SHULER DONNER who received a star today on the Hollywood walk of fame. Susie and I were in attendance. It was great to see great people finally being recognised. If anybody deserves it……..They Do!
Well until next time…….
PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS

Just wanted to remind you to vote YES on prop 2. It will make sure that all factory farm animals live a cleaner and more humane life before their slaughter.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry it has been so long since we have spoken. A. I have been really busy. B. I have been enjoying reading your comments. C. I have been trying to figure out how to summarize all I want to say in this entry.
So first off I would like to thank all of you who have engaged so passionately in the discussion over the LHC experiments. I simply applaud all of your investigative research into the topic. I am so thrilled to see people communicating intelligently over such a controversial issue. “There are none so blind as those who will not see” -Jeremiah ……HA!
The whole point of my bringing up such topics is for those who are oblivious to certain global issues that are going on under their noses while their opinions in the matter are disregarded. We all have a voice on this Earth, as we share it together. Our voices and opinions should be heard as our voices matter individually, to be heard as a whole. I can only give my opinion. As God knows I am certainly not an expert on physics. I am far from it. I am however a human with a voice, and concerns, for the well being of Earth, and mankind. Although I agree with much of what has been said on this issue, I feel there is a counterpoint which has yet to be introduced into the discussion. This theory is the one that troubles me most. The reason I feel this experiment is careless and irrational is not because of the hypothetical possible scientific breakthroughs it may or may not bring. It is also not because I do not believe in scientific advancement and discovery. It is also not due to the fact that $20 billion is being spent on this, as the world faces an entire economic meltdown. It is a reality based fear of the unknown, and having respect for the natural balance of order.
Yes, there have been other experiments of this type but never anything as bold and disruptive to the balance of things. You see, here we are dealing with relativity and matter. The one thing science knows concretely is that all matter is subject to relativity. The threat of opening microscopic black holes as a result of this experiment is real. The argument to this is that they will be so small that we need special instrumentation to read them. My point is that when dealing with dimensions and relativity, time and space have no real value by our judgement. A microscopic black hole by our estimation could be an entire galaxy in the dimension of that microcosm, from which it was created. Think about the possibility that they succeed in recreating “the big bang” on a very small scale, but there is cause and effect for everything that happens, so just suppose their success means we have started creation over again. Maybe not here in our world but for other worlds. How would that effect our world, or our reality? These are pretty big questions to consider when talking about an experiment that could effect order and balance for all. Shouldn’t our vote count as humans sharing this space? Some of us may support this project…..some may not. Regardless this should be a global vote.
Speaking of space….. as I mentioned a few blogs back I had been seeing some weird things in the skies over my house. I threw it out there to see your responses. I was amazed by how many of you had admitted to either having had your own, or heard accounts of, other similar recent incidents. So I began doing some research into the matter. As it turns out, right now on youtube.com, there are literally dozens of videos from around the world of the exact same type of sightings that I witnessed, all occurring over the last few months. Obviously on youtube some of these are faked, but the similarity in these is pretty astounding. Which raised the question could there be a link to the LHC and the increased activity, or hypothetical activity? The theory being….. could messing with space, time, and dimensions, be opening some sort of portal, or gateway, to the other side? It all sounds like a great science fiction book, right?
Do I believe in UFO’s? ……ABSOLUTELY!! I have had many strange experiences in my life seeing things (totally sober) that were definitely not man made. I have even gotten some of them on video. I have been interested in this topic since I was a child (Kerri) I can relate. I have had seven of these experiences. But this is not a new topic or contemporary social hot point. This topic dates back to the old testament and beyond. As a matter of fact it is written in the old testament under Ezekiel: chapter 1 as a priest by the name of Ezekiel recounts his experience with aliens aboard their crafts described as a “wheel within a wheel”. Coincidentally this research caused me to write a song mostly transcribed directly from the bible on the new TM album. It will be the second track on the album and is called “Ezekiels Wheels”. The biblical story, which collaborates with the albums concept, raises the question: did we create technology, or was it handed down to us? Henceforth the albums artwork by Storm Thorgerson. There are also crazy rumors spreading like wildfire across the net that a clairvoyant from Australia received a message that on Oct. 14th of this year “they” are going to reveal themselves to the world by leaving a craft in our atmosphere for 72 hours. This is a very serious claim. I have never heard a pshycic give a street date before. I will be waiting to see what happens with that one.
In the meantime, right here on Earth, we are drawing closer as a on a daily basis to the absolute most important election in history. Everyone must VOTE! Susie and I attended an event last night in support of Proposition 2 here in California. In case you are not yet aware. A yes vote on Prop 2 will ensure a ban on caging and crating of animals being raised for slaughter. This is a tremendously important legislation. Not just for the well being of the over 20 million animals it will protect, but also for the positive effect it would have on our environment as a whole. Relieving suffering of animals actually reduces our carbon footprint. Learn more by reading the prop points for yourself if you live in California and plan on voting. The event was hosted by Ellen Degeneris, and Toby Maguire donated $10,000 at an auction at the event. It was organised by Wayne Pascal of the Humane Society (great guy), and Gene Bauston (also great) from Farm Sanctuary. Obama 08, yes on 2, that’s all I’m saying about that.
On a totally separate topic I would like to say good job to Susie and congrats as well. Susie did her first presenting bit the other night at the Fox Reality Awards. We were also given the award for best duo of the year for “The Two Corey’s”. We were nominated in four categories. Jake even got a nomination, pretty cool for him. The show will air on FOX TV sometime in October.
Thank you for those of you who have commented on the new single “Disconnected”. For those who have not heard it, the song can be heard on the website dayafterdaymusic.com. It is the website of a promoter/booking agent that is putting together the new TM tour. It is one of the poppier tunes on the album. Speaking of the album we are getting verrrrry close to giving a release date (before xmas). please keep checking this blog and the main news page for details. We will soon be posting a separate page full of details about the album and what the entire package has to offer. We will also start taking presale orders very soon via this website. The album will initially be sold exclusively through this site and through digital resources such as itunes where you will be able to buy one song at a time, or the whole album. I suggest buying a physical copy as the artwork is quite astounding and is meant to accompany the music. It will also include the lyrics which are fairly important. A full track listing, and breakdown of the project, will be coming before presale ordering begins.
Finally I would like to thank everyone we met in Lund Sweden we had an amazing time. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Beautiful country, and beautiful people. I look forward to seeing many of you at my upcoming appearances both this Friday at the Eyegore awards at Universal Studios Hollywood, and of course my Brittish friends(Laura) at The Birthday screening on October 11th for the Raindance festival.
Well this has been quite a long and controversial post……..whew……got it all out. I can’t wait to read all of your comments on everything. Oh yeah…..for the record…… you are in no way supposed to immediately agree with everything I say……..just what you feel is right for you. As they say opinions are like…. heads, everybody should keep theirs, but sharing is OK.
Until next time…….
PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS GOD BLESS
COREY
The agency that is booking the Truth Movement tour has uploaded Corey’s new single ‘Disconnected’ to their website and you can hear it only at www.dayafterdaymusic.com/artists/coreyfeldman/
OK now that you listen let us know what you thought of it.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I come to you today quite saddened by the death of a musical genius. Richard Wright one of the founding members of my favorite band Pink Floyd has sadly passed away at the age of 65. Richard was the keyboardist/writer/vocalist for the band since their conception. I had the pleasure of meeting him twice. He was a meek and pleasant man who wrote amazing and haunting melodies. He, being one of only 8 people I have ever asked an autograph of, signed my shirt backstage during his last tour with David Gilmour. It was a David Gilmour tour shirt (which hangs in my office) and has Davids name across the front of it. He asked me where he should sign it. I said wherever he saw fit, and as a gentleman would, he wrote it directly under David’s name. He then went on to videotape the backstage proceedings some of which turned up on the extras for Davids Remember that night DVD. If you look close and don’t blink you will see me there wearing the shirt. He will surely be missed and the music he has brought us over the years will be missed even more.
In other sad news, my heart goes out once again to all of the hurricane victims. It seems Ike has done more damage to Houston and the outlying areas then we could have ever been prepared for. Now we must work even faster to try and rid the spread of disease from the stagnant waters left looming. It seems the government would wake up and start taking global warming a bit more seriously, given the increasing intensity of the earths natural disasters. Instead we seem to be working backwards. Congress is meeting tomorrow to reverse the ban on off shore drilling. That is really a great idea when we have historical melting and breaking in our polar ice caps. And that’s not all, there is also a historical event happening in Geneva right now. Deep under the ground scientists (if you can call them that) have built a machine called the Large Hadron Collider. What this machine is doing is sending out particles of matter through a beam and trying to obtain light speed through a 17 mile underground tunnel. Then they are shooting out a similar beam from the opposite side and trying to get them to collide into each other in hopes of recreating the big bang! The upside for them is figuring out how life began. THE DOWN SIDE…… creating a black hole within the earths atmosphere. Their argument is the black hole would only be microscopic. I guess they never heard of the theory of relativity. I am very worried about this. I do not think it is something we should mess with, and wish there was something we could do to prevent it. But unfortunately the process has already begun. It all goes back to not protecting our earth and being selfish in our endeavors. In the meantime those of us who care can still make a difference, by keeping positive energy, and doing our part to help heal the environment.
I will be doing much praying for the earth and all of us who share it.
In regards to last weeks question about aliens and ufo’s we will talk more about that next week, but you can still continue to send in your stories as I will look forward to reading them.
In regards to the album cover, everyone is correct. As with most art it is purely subjective. It of course means what you want it to mean. The piece of art is actually titled “Adam’s Apple”. In theory and in the context of the story of the album the piece is intended to raise the questions, what came first the apple or the robot? Did we create the technology, or did it create us? Do we control the technology, or does it control us? Very good questions given this weeks scientific quandary. The other meanings behind it will become much clearer when you see the accompanying artwork and of course hear the story for yourselves once you buy the album. It is all a piece of the puzzle, as we try to unlock the Truth together. Keep in mind the band is called Truth Movement and that is exactly what we are doing. Creating a movement of truth.
I am very much looking forward to my upcoming trip to Sweden. I have never been there. Susie and I are very excited to meet some of our Swedish fans. I don’t know much about the Swedish culture or about the film festival we are attending but I will be sure to tell you all about it when we return home. If you are in Sweden and come across this blog stop in and say hi. There will be some exciting announcements regarding the album next week so be sure to check back for that.
Until then……….
STAY DRY! PEACE LOVE WARMTH HAPPINESS

Hi Folks,
Well another week another hurricane. This time beating down on our friends on the east coast. I know I speak for everyone on this board when I say, our hearts and minds are with you. Please STAY POSITIVE, especially right now, NO MATTER WHAT!
Well I have a lot to report on but first off, I would like to apologise on behalf of my staff here at CF.NET. It appears that after a lengthy Technical delay the new TM album cover by Storm Thorgerson was finally launched on the home page UPSIDE DOWN! That’s right you heard me right, upside down. So although I verry much appreciate your positive responses to the new art and although it seems many of you are getting it….it seems you are actually only getting half of the picture. So if you want to view the cover photograph properly you might want to pick up your laptop and hold it upside down and then you will be viewing it properly….on second thought just check back and CJ should have it fixed right up for you. You will also notice the pix-elation on the green photo and the song removed from the main page. All technical glitches, and we will have them ironed out shortly I assure you. In the meantime I would love to hear your thoughts on what the photograph means to you. So please send in your thoughts.
Speaking of weird thoughts…….I have a few more for you……..I had some weird ones this week!
What do you think about aliens? Are they real? Have you ever seen a UFO? If so what was your experience?
I am taking this line of questions because I live in a very rural area outside of LA where the stars shine brightly. I don’t want to go on record at the moment other than saying I have definitely seen a lot of strange activity in the sky this week, and was just wondering if others saw similar things, or had similar experiences in the last couple of months. This will be the topic of our next thread, so get your thinking caps on as I would really like to hear your stories if any.
Speaking of strange stories I have one of my own…..not about aliens…….about Jacksons!
Over the weekend I attended the BM IUrban Music Awards show. The event (which I attend every year as a member/publisher) this year was honoring the greatest musical family in the history of music. Given my on again off again relationship with that family I was hesitant to go. Ultimately I decided that overall even though Michael and I have had our differences through the years, i still applaud he and his families musical legacy and the iconic music they have created through the years. They really achieved unearthly achievements like no other family in this business. So why not bury the sword, after all Michael didn’t even attend the event. So certainly no reason not to go and honor the rest of the family for their achievements. I certainly left the ceremony with a warmness in my heart. One that had not surfaced for that family in quite a while.
I feel after all of the time that has passed, Forgiveness is truly the key to everything. Ultimate i felt bad for any distress I may have caused to the family as a result of the animosity between Michael and myself. However the whole family looked great, everyone was there (except Jermaine, and Michael) and they looked honestly happy,grateful, and emotional over the honorarium. Janet was even crying for a potion of the night. It reminded me of better times with the family, and it got me to thinking how kind, warm, and hospitable, and every one, of those family members is. So in total this week I officially give my solemn oath from this point forward you will hear no more Jackson basing from me. They have always treated me well themselves and I an continuously grateful for that.
Finally I have one more appearance announcement to make today……….I will be the Host, of the annual IGOR awards. I will be hosting this prestigious event on either Oct 3rd or 4th, at Universal city. you may remember this event from last year. On last years program I was just a presenter, but this time around I am actually braving the job of corralling all of you hardcore movie fans. So please check the IGOR awards at Haunted Halloween for Universal Studio tours.
Oh yeah’ I just wanted to say hi to all the new posters.
Well until next time…..
PEACE LOVE HAPINESS

This is an extension of my last blog. I wanted to add an important note for moms.
You know how you see pictures of celebs who look inhumanly amazing 4 weeks after giving birth? Pictures that make you feel like a failure cuz you’re still working on your baby weight 6-7-8 months later and you still don’t look like the latest celeb mom? Here’s some insight: most of those women have personal trainers and nutritionists or personal chefs who make them perfectly balanced meals at home. Just to be fair, some of them have excellent genes and they get back into shape easily without the extra help. But, most of them are like the rest of us and the breast feeding only sheds so many pounds! The one upper-hand that I had was that I got to be a stay at home mom, and that gave me the freedom to work out when my little one was napping ( and I eat tons of veggies:) ) I know there are so many women out there that have to go to work right away after becoming a new mom, and I have the utmost respect for them. My mom was a single, work-aholic. She was, and still is, one of my heroes.
I just want those of you who feel frustrated or hopeless about losing weight after having a baby because you see famous women doing it with ease, to know that there’s NOT something wrong with you. I didn’t have time to go to the gym, and we couldn’t afford a personal trainer at the time. DO NOT get discouraged!! You can do it! Who cares how long it takes? No one is perfect and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you’re a mom, you’ve already performed miracles, so give yourself some credit 
So, when you pick up the latest celeb driven mag, keep all of this in mind.
Date: August 26, 2008
As per your request. . .
Some of you have asked for health/fitness tips from me. Wow, am I flattered First let me say, that my routines and eating habits have not been evaluated by a doctor, and I cannot guarantee that your body chemistry is the same as mine. I certainly don’t want anyone to turn around and get mad at me because my “tips” aren’t working. I hate to sound this way, but you should always consult with your doctor before starting a new routine, just to be safe : )
When I met Corey I was 145lbs and I’m 5′5″ (5′6″ on a good day!!) I never worked out, I was just going off the fact that I was 19 and had the metabolism of a race horse. I was using drugs and drinking almost everyday. The alcohol played a major part in my weight gain. Also, I ate meat like it was goin out of style! I ate Jack in the Box’s Ultimate Cheeseburger for lunch for almost everyday. Corey had already been a vegetarian for almost 20 years and when we started dating he felt compelled to enlighten me. He saw potential in me that no one else had the courage to point out. He knew under the addiction and excess weight there was a girl who could be a lot healthier. He literally told me that he didn’t want to kiss me if I ate meat! LOL! I was so infatuated with him, I could easily stop eating meat if it meant he’d kiss me! It’s been 7 years since I stopped eating meat, and I’ve never looked back. I stopped drinking alcohol for a long time, and now I’m at a point where I can have a drink every so often without it becoming a problem. He NEVER drinks, so it’s a lot easier to NOT drink when we go out.
So there are my first 2 tips: Dont drink alcohol, and dont eat meat. That is, if you want to lose weight:) After I quit those two things I lost 30 lbs in 3 months! Corey also showed me how to work out because I never was very active or athletic. For a while I was just skinny. Not a healthy thin, but skinny. Then I had Zen when I was 22 and I gained 35 lbs in the 8 months I was pregnant. After he was born, I realized that I was now going to need to work out to keep the weight I felt comfortable at. A girlfriend of mine turned me on to Pilates after many attempts at sit-ups that just weren’t getting me the results I was looking for. The idea behind Pilates is that you must strengthen your core (your stomach and lower back) first, then work on the rest of your body. It is a total body workout that requires no equipment, or wieghts, or sweat! It’s mostly floor exercises that you can do at home. I didn’t have time to go to the gym with a newborn at home, so I bought a tape that I’d work out to while Zen was napping. I still use the same DVD! It’s called “BREAKTHRU Pilates Plus!” check out www.breakthrufitness.com or Amazon.com to find a copy.
For four years I’ve been using that video 2-4 times a week. I’ll be honest, I sometimes go for weeks without doing it at all. Our family’s schedule gets really busy and there aren’t enough hours in the day! But, once you build “muscle memory” it’s easier to get back in shape if you haven’t been able to work out for a while. In the summertime, I like to excercise in the pool. Zen just learned how to swim, so we go in the pool as often as possible. He gets to have fun and I get to workout. Multi-tasking, it’s what we women are good at : ) !! That’s it. I work out when I find the time, and I eat a healthy veggie diet so I dont have to work out as often.
Since this entry is getting a little long, I’ll save the details of my diet for my next blog. I’d love to hear what you think; I try to get to this blog as often as I can. If you have other ideas or questions, I want to read them. Even if you have opposing thoughts
Good luck, and may the force be with you . . .
