Staying Healthy with Sick Kids



My poor boys have been sick for close to a week now and of course it's in the beginning of my Bikini Body Mommy Challenge and I've actually been doing really well with staying healthy. This is exactly what has thrown me off in the past and then I seem to never start again. This time I'm going to stay healthy through sickness! This is how...

  • I'm still going to the gym in the early morning. Even though I'm up half the night with the boys and sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress in the boys room I'm making it a priority to still hit the gym. When I get back I go back to sleep in  mom sleep mode where I'm half awake so I can keep track of the boys once their awake but still get a little more rest. Since they are sick they are watching movies anyway.
  • Still trying to eat healthy. Since I'm not taking my boys to the store when they are coughing so much. I'm stuck eating what's in the house. We don't have much that sounds good which means I'm  not eating a lot. I have been to the store to get some fresh fruits and veggies but it's just a quick trip in the short time my hubby is home and awake. He's working loooooong hours. 
  • Getting plenty of fluids and On Guard. I'm trying to avoid getting sick myself which is probably a slim chance but with exercise, fluids, and On Guard I'm hoping that it stays away.
  • Last I'm getting plenty of cuddles with my boys. I know that soon they will be big and even though they will still want me to care for them when they are older they will not want to sit and cuddle with mommy so I'm enjoying this sickness coming through my house and letting my boys snuggle up and watch movies and listen to stories!

Any tips for how you stay healthy when your family is sick?
How you don't get off track with your workout routine during a family sickness?

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
