October 19, 2010 On Saturday, David and I attended Pre-Cana, a pre-marital consultation mandated by the Catholic Church. We spent hours discussing our views on work, money and children. They asked conflicting questions such as befriending someone of the opposite sex to the husband’s view of making less money than his wife. It was interesting to see the opposing stances of the other twenty or so couples in the room, but what was most interesting was realizing that David and…
Mommy Fitness Blog: 5 pounds to go!
October 18, 2010I wasn’t able to workout this morning – or attend my fitness program…(I don’t teach it, I just show up when I can to help facilitate) Last night, both babies were in a fuss. Christian didn’t sleep until past midnight and the other one is suffering from a cold and fever. I woke up every two hours and by the time 5am hit, I wasn’t ready to get up. So… now it is almost 2pm on Monday. I plan on…
my college years.
October 6, 2010October 5, 2010 My days have slowed down ten-fold. Right now I am enjoying quiet time as both boys are napping and I am finishing emails and updates online. Later this evening I have two meetings and an errand, but absolutely nothing else, which makes life very exciting. While there are always things to do, I realize that I really need time where there is nothing to do nothing but watch television, take a bath with the boys or walk…
Mommy Fitness Blog: workout gifts!
October 5, 2010It’s Tuesday afternoon – both boys are napping from an early morning wake up and playtime at the park with my mom-me fitness group. I feel so bad because every time it’s time for me to work out with them, I am always so sore. I end up walking most of the time and giving just 50%. Yesterday was my glutes day. I decided that I am going to make Monday and Friday my glute day (since I told myself…
Mommy Fitness Blog: my Supplement List.
September 29, 2010Yesterday we had record breaking temperatures and I was pissed off because I couldn’t train in the morning (due to a bad reaction to a new supplement I am taking). There I was, all warmed up…then all of a sudden, I feel wheezy, dizzy and HOT. I began forming a heat rash all around my ears, arms and legs. I immediately went to my car to consume a granola bar (that I leave in there for Christian) and drink water.…
Wanting “it”
September 27, 2010September 27, 2010 Life has been incredibly intense lately. I’ve been tightening up on my diet, working out more intensely, creating longer task lists and scheduling my days as if there were 28 hours in a day instead of just 24. While it’s been a long road since I complained about working too hard after giving birth, it’s been a road that is starting to reap some real results. My body is getting firmer, my work is paying off and…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I have my period, AGAIN.
September 24, 2010It’s Friday and I know there is no set date that I post this mommy blog but at least I get it done! Right?! That’s what I tell myself whenever I’m able to make it to the gym – which is around 5am in the morning these days! Honestly, I lacked a whole-lotta motivation earlier this week. It was tough to work out because I had so many work priorities. If I wasn’t out the house by 5am, then I…
Creation begins with a choice
September 17, 2010September 16, 2010 I’ve wanted to create Nicholas’ photo album, walk my parent’s dog, create a new business site and update my nonprofit site for the past months now. After a full day of marketing at a middle school, going to Kinko’s, the bank, the grocery store, the gym, the pharmacy and my care home, I was finally able to re-draft a fitness article I submitted just five minutes ago to my editor. Right now I am in attack mode…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I’m BACK! And ready to Get’r DONE!
September 13, 2010I haven’t been posting for this past week because I’ve been in Hawaii! Yes, it was a very fun time for my family and I to relax, get away and chill at the beach. I made it a point EVERY day to get into the ocean. I am a certified sun baby and love being in the cool ocean for some natural therapy. We brought the boys so it wasn’t THAT much of a vacation. In fact, Christian had the…
Mommy Fitness Blog: stomach flu’s, headaches and WORK.
September 3, 2010Usually my favorite part of the day is when I get to sleep at night – but lately, I’ve been sleeping in Christian’s bed with him as he has been sick these past few days with the stomach flu. Days before he was vomitting, last night he had a huge fever. While he can be a bit fatigued and whiny during the day – all in all, he seems completely normal during the day time. No diarrhea today so far! …
