So – it’s officially been a week since the wedding. I am NOW starting to recover from all the emotional ups and downs. Just to give you an idea of what that week looked for me: Tuesday: mini-Thanksgiving with Casler Family Wednesday: David’s Bachelorette (also last day to finish projects: programs, poems on tables, bows) Thursday: Thanksgiving – David’s mom and girls arrive from MS – my mom gets flu symptoms Friday: Nail Salon, set up at reception, rehearsal dinner…
Mommy Fitness Blog: my Wedding Flipbook!
December 2, 2010We had a lot of stuff at the wedding. We had a photobooth AND a flip book booth…and a candy buffet! Here’s one of our photobooth shots: I have been incredibly busy lately. My mother was admitted to the ICU on our wedding day, making BOTH parents MIA at my wedding. On Monday my sister had her baby and between visiting the hospital, cleaning, tending to the boys, catching up on work, etc. if you can only imagine, I don’t…
Mommy Fitness Blog: 3 days until the big day!
November 24, 2010As I type this I am uncomfortably dealing with fake nails on my computer keys. I’m not used to this as I HATE fake nails. But, I guess I will have to suffer just for this week as my real nails are short, frail and beat up from dish washing, hot glue, etc. Our wedding is in 3 days and the clock is tick, tick, ticking!!!!! I told David last week, that the only thing that will drive me up…
30 years old
November 22, 2010November 22, 2010 5 more days left. Absolutely crazy. I contacted all our wedding vendors, crossed off my to-do lists and created a special wedding portfolio for my wedding coordinator complete with tabs such as: our itinerary, wedding party, photo list and 10 things that will drive me crazy. After waiting for nearly two years, David and I will finally tie the knot by the end of this week. Every day this week has an event planned. Tomorrow we have…
Mommy Fitness Blog: two old men hit on me today.
November 15, 2010And I loved it! They are so cute! I love the morning time because there are a great group of people who are genuinely interested in taking care of their health. The morning time in a gym is COMPLETELY different from evening time at the gym! When I train at 5am in the morning, there are about 20 of us who are trying to get our fitness on before the day begins. Usually, we are all in our 20s to…
The “perfect” plan
November 10, 2010November 9, 2010 I woke up at 5am today after a 4-hour night’s rest. While I wanted to begin my daily routine by heading to the gym, I found Christian in bed sick from what appears to be the stomach flu. So I cuddled and coddled him all morning, while changing his diaper four times in the last two hours. Poor baby. While I was looking forward to detoxing my body at the gym after a long weekend, I realized…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Partying ALL weekend Long.
November 9, 2010I partied all weekend long. Read that sentence well as I will probably never type that again. In my earlier twenties, when I was young, independent and single, I used to go out on Thursday, Friday and Saturday sometimes! But these days, you won’t catch me out more than MAYBE twice a year. And if I am out, it’s because of a celebration of some sort. The celebration this weekend was our upcoming wedding! It was a long-anticipated-weekend as BOTH…
My weekly goal
November 6, 2010November 5, 2010 I’ve made a goal to start running more – a minimum of 10 miles a week to be exact. I have already lost 50lbs within six months after the birth of my second son, Nicholas. However, my body was beginning to plateau and I knew I needed to start doing what my body felt challenged to do. And so I’ve started running. I run up bleachers, on the treadmill and outside with my double stroller. It’s not…
Mommy Fitness Blog: eat, clean, train, clean, sleep, repeat!
November 2, 2010It was a very, very busy in the Kang-Casler household. On Saturday evening I was driving around, running last minute errands thinking, “This is the last time I am throwing a Halloween party!” As you can imagine, there is a lot of preparation, including decorations and food. This was a potluck event so I didn’t have to think too much about the menu…in fact, I honestly didn’t think too much about the event until the day before. I’m very fortunate…
Mommy Fitness Blog: ‘are you going to compete soon?’
October 28, 2010When you hear that question, you KNOW you’re close to your fitness goals! I am actually 3 pounds now away from my original goal of 125lbs after giving birth, which is approximately two pounds away from my last competitive weight. I DO have to say though, that the weight is carried a bit differently now. My hips are slightly bigger – maybe an inch, so it makes working my glutes a bit harder as I’m training them twice a week…
