Week 3 Complete of the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge



Yep that is right 3 weeks down! I completed week 3 of the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge even with sick kids in the house and sleeping on a horrible mattress on the floor of the boys room! It's done! Completely behind me! Of course I only have 10 more weeks ahead of me. I really can't wait until the weeks behind me are more than the weeks ahead of me!

Having sick kiddos really did slow me down last week. I had to double up on workouts instead of getting them in everyday. It also made going to the grocery store nearly impossible so getting healthy foods in the house was not something that happened. So this week wasn't one of my best weeks. But that's OK. I did the best with what I had. That isn't limited to the kitchen. I mean with the little energy that I had too.

So week 3 is complete! I have made my first Paleo focused meal plan for this week and even hit the store today even though it was snowing and cold. I was able to take my hubby to The Rodizio Grill for his birthday dinner before he leaves town next week. And I was able to keep it a secret from him for a full year! I'll explain later. The boys are starting to feel better. I'm using doTerra oils like crazy trying to get us back to our normal selves again. So here's to a successful week against all odds! There is still hope that I will reach my goal by my birthday!

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
