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!

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...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

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...
