Sick Daze

OK... so my family has been sick off and on for two months now. It has been pretty hard to keep up with my exercising and eating properly. You know how it is when you're sick... you snack and eat too much, or you sleep all day and eat too little. Well I wasn't eating enough calories and I am currently breastfeeding so my supply started to go down. So I have had to make a point to watch my calorie intake and make sure I am eating enough. I haven't been losing weight (which is such a bummer) I hate being sick, and what makes it worse is my two boys are also sick at the same time. If you and your family are going through this too, just remember to watch your calorie intake and don't get discouraged. We will get through this!

Lazy-Rut

It is so hard to try to get up in the morning and go to the gym... I keep trying, but then when the morning arrives I tend to talk myself out of it. It so funny how I can acctually have a debate in my head on whether to go or not to go. My lazy self ends up almost always winning. I am trying to go to the gym once a day and workout with my video twice a day... but right now I am just doing my video once a day. I need to get serious and get out of this lazy-rut I'm currently in.

Uh-Oh!!!

Ok... I gave into temptaion today. The BK Whopper got me. My husband brought it home for dinner today. And then I made some cookies for my churches kids snacks... and I ate 3!!! I am super bummed because I was doing so well. I just need to remember that tomorrow is a new day. I am, however, working out twice as long tonight. It will definately make me feel better. When you fall, you just need to pick yourself back up again. "It doesn't matter that you fell 99 times, all that matters is that you got back up 100 times"

Day 6

So I have been working out with my slim and 6 dvd and it has been awesome! I am already feeling the difference. The other day was too cute. My 19 month old son, Wyatt, was watching me while I was working out in the living room. I was doing sqwats and arm raises at the same time. I then looked over at him and he was copying what I was doing and just gave me this big smile. How adorable! He is definately my inspiration!

Day 2

I woke up this morning at 7am... little ones don't let you sleep in. But that's ok, I don't need to be wasting my day with sleep anyway. I had a slimfast right when I woke... they're great when you just need something early in the morning to get your metabolism going. Then my family went to the gym. We were there for about a half an hour and got some great workouts in. Anyway... I'm feeling good and drinking my water. Remember to drink plenty of water and take a multivitamin in the morning. All in all... it was a good day
current weight - 176 lbs.

First Day

Ok... so I weighed myself this morning and am currently at a steady 177 lbs. This was my first day and is was tough. I have been eating really well all day... but I need to remember to drink more water. I worked out with my Slim and 6 DVD today, and I am definately out of shape... I could only do 20 min. I will do the whole video tomorrow. I am feeling pretty good right now. I also measured myself last night

chest - 41.5 in.

R/L arm - 12.5 in.

waist - 38.5 in.

hips - 41 in.

R/L upper thigh - 24.5/25 inches

I have a lot of work to do!

Getting Started

I am starting this blog because I am tired. Just like so many other mom's out there, I am tired... tired of being unhealthy and overweight. Before I got married, I was a fit 19 year old that weighed 145 lbs. I was so happy with myself. Then I married the man of my dreams and got pregnant with my first son, Wyatt. He was born on June 1st 2009 and is so full of energy. 6 months later I found out that I was expecting again. An adorable little boy was born on Sept. 5th 2010 named Owen. I have two wonderful boys and I love them both very much... I just don't like what I've become after having them.
So, I am done. I am done with not liking what I see in the mirror every day. I am done being lazy. I currently weigh 179 lbs. I want to be back to that happy, energetic 145 lb. woman I once was. Now is the time!
