Here We Go Again!

So I started this post 15 days ago when I completed day one of Bikini Body Mommy and I just couldn't get the words out to finish the post and get it out. I competed day two and still couldn't get the words to finish. Then came day 10 when I was so grateful that I didn't end up posting about my workouts because I had only completed 2 days!

Then during day 10's guilt I was texting with my workout buddy from Colorado. We both knew we needed to be working out. We both decided that we were going to make the commitment to the BBM community again. And then we both failed miserably. So on day 10 she tells me she's joining a Diet Bet to help her stay committed to making the changes she needed. We talked a lot about it and I decided to bring it up to Hubby. I needed his support in making this decision to spend money on a bet that would hopefully keep me committed to making changes. Thirty dollars isn't a lot of money but it is enough money to be missed when we are trying to build a house, care for property, build a chicken coop and fix vehicles from random goose attacks and highway breakdowns. He wasn't thrilled about the idea but he has always supported me in getting healthy. And he remembers the changes I saw when I did Bikini Body Mommy the first time.So he said "Just remember, I'm not going to be happy if you lose that money." Which at first I wasn't happy with him for saying but then I realized it gave me more motivation to stick to it. If he would have not cared about the $30 then I wouldn't have cared either.

So today I just finished up day 15. It was a fit test day so we compare our scores to how we did day 1. Now of course if I had actually completed more than 5 days of the program I probably would have seen bigger differences but the important thing is that I still saw a difference. I even saw a difference today after digging holes for the fence we're putting up. I dug 9 holes all by myself that are about 12 inch squares and 2 feet deep just using a shovel and a post hole digger. It was really hard work and I was feeling my sore muscles last night but surprisingly I was fine when I got up this morning and through my workout! Between Bikini Body Mommy and the work we are doing currently and will be doing on our tiny house and property I should be building some awesome muscles!

Of course today my workout got pushed back in the day. We had a homeschool group playdate so we were sweating in the Oklahoma heat and humidity this morning and then I got to do it again for my workout. I'm not sure that afternoon workouts will be something I could do on a regular basis. By the end of it I was sweating so bad that I could hardly see. And being sweaty makes my glasses slippery and that means I have to take them off during certain moves which means I really can't see. But I'm not going to skip workouts just because I couldn't get them in before the heat hits.

Can't wait to see the changes I make! Of course I still need refine our diet and get this gluten free trim healthy mama thing down. But we're working on it and each day I do a little better!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
