Hunter's 3rd Birthday and weekly workouts!

My first son pretty much got screwed in the birthday department because it is SO close to Christmas. Due to that, we always have his party a couple weeks after his actual birthday. This year since he is obsessed with pirates we did a pirate theme.

I am not a Pinterest mom. This party was thrown together pretty quick but he had a blast and no one got a concussion while the piñata was getting hit!

 

 

 

My mom took some great pictures but I don't have those yet so you will have to settle for mine. I couldn't get him to sit still he was having too much fun!!

At the party we had a chocolate fondue bar with pineapple, apples, marshmallows and other yummy stuff to dip....yeah let's just say I didn't eat clean that day....

Anyway here is my weekly workout plan:

Sunday: Jillian michaels cardio kickboxing (done)

Monday: Jillian 30ds level 1

Tuesday: JM cardio kickboxing

Wednesday: 8 min tone it up you tube workout (busy busy day)

Thursday: JM 30 DS level 2

Friday: JM cardio kickboxing

If the weather cooperates I really want to get out and run so I may add that in. I will let you all know how much I accomplished on Follow through Friday!

I hope you all make it a great Monday! Tomorrow I have some more clean meal planning ideas!

Back on the Saddle

It feels so good to be working out and eating healthy again. This week I started Shaun T's T25 workout program and it is insane! I hate it and love it at the same time. This week and next week I'm doing the modified versions of most things and then after that I'm full on. But even with doing the modifications it is really hard! I am SO sweaty afterwards. Luckily its only 25 minutes so I have plenty of time to shower after I do it while the boys are napping.

I've also done really well with my eating the past two days. I am going to lose at LEAST 4% for Skinny Meg's diet bet this month but I'm going to raise my goal to 10 lbs by October 1st I should be able to do it with the combination of eating healthy, working out and breast feeding.

Mel got me on the 30 day plank challenge band wagon...and let me tell ya just holding it for 20 seconds was hard for me...ughhhh I hate being out of shape. BUT that is changing by the end of this month I will be a whole new woman. I mean I will have a long way to go but it will be a great start!

Goals for September:

• Lose at LEAST 4% for SM's diet bet...but hoping to lose more than that (10lbs).
• Continue with T25 this month and next.
• Finish that tortorous plank challenge.
• Keep eating healthy (planning meals etc)...

And now for some cute pictures of my munchkins!

 

I hope everyone has a great Thursday!!

and another one bites the dust...

26...it was a great year! I started my weight loss and running journey and did things I never thought that I could. Then end of November I found out I was expecting again and here in a few short weeks I will have another beautiful baby boy in my arms. If you can't tell I'm really excited! I know it will be hard and I've talked about how stressed I am about having two kiddos but seriously it is such an amazing blessing and the lack of sleep won't last too long. Only like 15 more years until I get a full nights sleep right? ;)

 

Anyway, another year has "bit the dust" and although it was a good year I am so ready for the big 2-7. I have a lot of goals and I thought I would share them here.

• STOP STRESSING - This is a biggie. I am such an OCD/Control Freak if one little thing doesn't go according to plan I am a full on nut case. I really feel bad for the hubs some days. Especially when I have baby # 2 I need to just relax and realize the house IS NOT going to be clean and we will eat off paper plates and maybe not get dressed some days...k? K!
• Love myself more - This is a hard one. I am so hard on myself its ridiculous. I need to be more positive about my appearance instead of bashing the skin I'm in. I'm creating a life of course I'm going to gain weight. My body is going to be flabby after but look at what we've made? This baby is more than worth it. And I will put in the work to get my body back. (Another post on self image on a later date).
• Breastfeed for 6 months (or more) - Whether its nursing or pumping this little one is getting natures finest. I gave up too easily last time and I regret it.
• Hunter/Mommy time- Make sure Hunter gets alone time with his Mommy every single day, (I think I need this more than him haha).
• Run not one but TWO half marathons- pretty self explanatory
• Lift HEAVY - Put my muscles to the test and lift those bitches weights.
• Treat my body with respect and stop eating all this bad stuff I've been enjoying my last month of pregnancy - lay off the ice cream/blizzards/chocolate covered cinnamon bears!
• Be amazingly in shape for my ten year renunion next summer (2014) - I can't wait.
• Go SKY DIVING for my 28th birthday. - one of my friends did it this year and I was so jealous I couldn't partake *cough*Julia*cough*
• Show before after pictures on this blog (2 days after birth then 6 weeks then go increments of 10-15 lbs lost)- Yes I know your excited!

These are all going to take a lot of will power. But I proved to myself this past year that I have the dedication to do it. I am so thankful I have all of you to share this new and upcoming journey with me and make my 27th a crazy/fabulous year!

 

 

yeah i'm never going to stop planning...
