November 4, 2009 I don’t take un-planned events well.In truth, I’m the type of person who hates dishes in the sink, messy beds, dirty laundry, full trash bins and cars with gas tanks close to empty. Those things are probably on the top of my list..I haven’t even gotten to the rest. Yesterday was one of those’ days. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep next to Christian around 7:30pm and didn’t wake up until 6am the next morning.…
Mommy Fitness Blog:my life is my workout
November 3, 2009So I confess…I’m still eating the Halloween candy. In fact, I’ve been picking at it for two weeks prior to Halloween and will most likely keep picking well after… Halloween was great. The costumes fit! That was a scare! And the party was great. We set up a haunted house for the kids in the garage, played games, had lots of food, costumes, family and friends. It turned out better than expected. I felt a sigh of relief though when…
Mommy Fitness Blog: sore BUT not working out…
October 30, 2009I have been literally going, going and going for the past two weeks. THAT is why I haven’t been able to to update this site. In fact, tonight I have a Halloween party that I’m still not fully prepared for. AND I still have to work today in addition to preparing so that is definitely not going to help. In regards to working out – I haven’t been waking up at 5am mainly because if I could get an hour…
Finding a responsibility.
October 27, 2009October 26, 2009 I haven’t written anything in two weeks. Usually when I don’t update my journal it’s because of a single reason: I’ve been extremely, incredibly, unbelievably busy. There has not been a single day when I am able to take a meandering stroll to the park or idlely spend time watching an entire television show. There is simply too much to do and too much to think about in my current life. Right now I’m not only preparing…
Mommy Fitness Blog: 5am workouts.
October 12, 2009YEP – you read that right! I work out a 5am now! I wake up at 5am – am at the gym by 5:30am and then at my fitness program for a local middle school by 7am. I like it this way though….at least I get the biggest goal out of the way and am able to get my workout and work done very early. So! Each day I perform cardio and some type of low resistance weight training with…
I’ve been waking up at 5:00am consistently this week because I started a fitness program at a local middle school that begins at 7:00am. Since I would be up, I decided to try to get to the gym before the program since it will get me up and going early and also give me a time schedule to abide to…so far it’s been great. I love being up early, I love going to sleep early, I love being efficient for…
Mornings with my son
October 7, 2009October 6, 2009 Yesterday I looked at David, pointed at my belly and said, Do I look fat? He laughed and responded, No, you look pregnant. In a matter of a couple days, my belly has developed a small bump. After months of not gaining weight or experiencing any real pregnancy symptom, I’m finally starting to realize I’m housing a little, tiny, itsy bitsy person inside of me. We heard the baby’s heartbeat today and it was amazing! For only…
My chosen journey
October 1, 2009September 30, 2009 I am so tired. Ever since I returned from my vacation it’s been non-stop: meetings, emails, phone calls, writing, errands, etc. I haven’t even fully unpacked yet. There is a pile of clothes sitting in our guest bedroom waiting to be folded. Not only have I been inundated with work obligations, but I’ve also been suffering from a terrible head cold. I definitely think the long plane ride coupled with the drastic changes in weather temperatures have…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I’m BACK from my vacation!
September 30, 2009It’s my first official day back as I was traveling ALL DAY yesterday. In fact, my plane ride home from New York to Sacramento was one of the worst flights I’ve had…mainly because I was getting sick. I was sneezing, my nose was running, and I could hardly move because I was holding the baby while he was sleeping. If I moved an inch…or even sneezed…he’d wake up! AND it was a bit frustrating because there was only one runway…
Marriage is a private choice.
September 16, 2009September 16, 2009 I’m not a big fan of weddings. I enjoy the ceremony and get flutters in my belly when vows are exchanged, but after that, weddings aren’t on the top of my list of things to do on a Saturday afternoon. Receptions are usually long, un-entertaining and filled with monotonous speeches and traditions that don’t carry over to the present time. Since I don’t heavily drink and rarely stay long enough to dance let alone the cake cutting,…
