January 27, 2011 When I was in high school, I used to have quotes written on my binder for me to read and reflect upon whenever I felt lost, lonely or unmotivated. One of those quotes read, Your character is your destiny. I didn’t understand the depth of those five words at the time, all I knew is that I didn’t know what I wanted I just knew that if I was a person of high character, that God would…
Mommy Fitness Blog: BUTT TRAINING
January 26, 2011Yes, I’ve been kicking my butt lately. My most recent workout consists of walking lunges NONSTOP for 30-45 minutes. I just go into the group exercise room (when there is no class obviously) and I bring with me a 25lb barbell and a couple 10lb dumb bells. I start lunging, back and forth – sometimes I will add the barbell, sometimes I will grab the dumb bells. AND I DON’T STOP. I have maybe a 15 second break twice to…
Mommy Fitness Blog: My Favorite workout gear
January 26, 2011I’ve had a hard time motivating myself to workout lately. There are several reasons for that. Firstly, I have no set goal. It’s hard for me to set a goal because I’m leaving for vacation in two weeks…so therefore, I plan on setting a 12 week goal when I return. Secondly, I’ve been sleeping late and haven’t been able to get up early enough to train. I sleep late mostly because I workout later in the day (from not getting…
Mommy Fitness Blog: sleepless nights.
January 18, 2011Last night I had NO sleep. Both babies are teething. Christian has had a temperature these past two nights and for the life of me, Nicholas can’t be pacified unless I’m rocking him WHILE standing. I wanted to work out early this morning but couldn’t because I fell asleep at 4am. I had only 2.5 hours before my school program began. I didn’t train on Monday either. I was scheduled to do it in the evening but I attended a…
Searching for Happiness
January 18, 2011January 17, 2011 Nicholas took his first steps today. At nine months he can walk the entire kitchen and climb stairs. He smiles all the time. He loves baths. He craves affection and loves playing with his brother. He looks for me now too. For the last couple weeks he’s been crawling to my bedroom whenever I’m absent for long periods of time. As soon as he arrives he searches above to see if he can see my figure, then…
Mommy Fitness Blog: booty training!
January 11, 2011Yes, I am SOOOOO concentrating on developing my “derry air” right now. (I am so lazy I don’t have time to figure out how to spell that! LOL) To give you a little bit of history…I’ve always had a pretty good butt. Ever since I can remember it’s been round, shapely and toned. Even when I was little heavier, my butt was still fairly nice. However, since I was practically pregnant for two years in a row, I feel like…
Seeking a profound existence.
January 7, 2011January 7, 2011 I’m not feeling too hot today I’ve been waking up every day this week early to cover my fitness program at the Middle School. I’m in the process of looking for a new coordinator, but in the meantime, I felt that it would be important for me to be there every day so I can get re-acquainted with the students, the program and the progress. After another cold morning at the school, I drove to the gym…
Mommy Fitness Blog: No Cardio equipment Available.
January 3, 2011YES. It is officially the New Year and it was evident when I went to go workout this morning. I was planning on training at 5am but my youngest son was up most of the night and it made me VERY sleepy the next morning. In fact, I was deciding whether or not I should also cancel my fitness program with the kids at 7am…but I ended up getting up instead. My ultimate favorite moments with the boys is when…
