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!

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...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...

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...
