I haven’t been updating a lot lately because of a variety of reasons. The biggest reason right now is because we just moved to a larger house and I have been unpacking, sorting and finding stuff for the past week. Last night I FINALLY completed my office. It was the last on my to-do list. (well one of the last. The last is sorting the boys clothes) So now I am sitting in my new office, with a new desk…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Back from Hawaii
September 6, 2011We spent ten glorious days on the land on “aloha” and it was very eventful. We went to the beach nearly every single day and enjoyed playing in the sand, swimming with the waves and eating fun foods like shaved ice. While I tried to stay active while we were gone, we didn’t go to the local gym at all. I wasn’t expecting to – especially since it’s already hard for me to get out in my own town! But,…
Mommy Fitness Blog: cleaning is exercise.
August 18, 2011If I don’t have many appointments, I spend the majority of the morning very busy. I’m on my feet cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, vacuuming, washing dishes, fixing beds, etc. It’s amazing how long it takes me to actually finally sit down and relax. Considering I’m carrying a bit of extra weight, I definitely know how it feels like to use “cleaning as a workout”. We will be moving soon into a two story home with three MORE bedrooms, so I…
Mommy Fitness Blog: swimming is my new thing!
August 9, 2011Yep – it’s hot here in dry Sacramento and I have found that swimming not only cools me, relaxes me and makes my boys happy, but it also makes me healthier! On Saturday I was supposed to workout (for my once-a-week-workout) but didn’t make it for several reasons… 1. The boys took over my morning 2. I woke up late. 3. I stalled because I invited my husband to go workout with us. 4. When we got there I had…
Mommy Fitness Blog: not happening…
August 3, 2011Gosh. I feel terrible. I literally workout once a week. It’s terrible. It’s the worse I’ve been EVER. And NO, being pregnant is not an excuse…having two crazy toddlers is no excuse. Working and getting stressed is no excuse. Having a husband out of town is no excuse. These are normal excuses for people but they aren’t normal excuses for me. Because the fact is…is that I have over 20 workout DVD’s, I have a jumprope, a medicine ball, an…
I’m almost 19 weeks preggers – we will be finding out the sex at my 21 week appointment! Technically we can do it now…and I’ve been contemplating paying $60 just to have a 2D scan, BUT, it’s nice dreaming of a girl!! I feel good. No back pain. Some Energy – but whatever energy I have is dissipated from the boys. This weekend however I was able to take a “mom-cation”!! I went to see some of my friends in…
Mommy Fitness Blog: First day running
July 13, 2011Today I woke up with absolutely no back pain. So I decided to get out – and run! It was definitely hard. I’m carrying a bit more weight on me. I had not run in at least three months and I stopped working out regularly for almost my entire pregnancy so far (four months.) My fitness calendar is sadly looking pretty empty. I only ran for about 20 minutes but what makes it extra special is that it was outside!…
It’s been so incredibly busy for the last month that I’ve devoted little time to many of my projects including this site. Don’t feel bad – I’ve neglected myself too! I workout MAYBE 1-2 times a week. I decided, however, to start waking up at 5:30am again to train because it’s getting crazy hot here (100 degree temps) and I REALLY detest waking up with my son pulling my hair and armpit skin. (I know that sounds gross but he…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Sick from Exhaustion
June 28, 2011I’m sick from exhaustion right now. I’ve been busy every single day – from white water rafting, bowling, a luau pool party, family party, birthdays, meetings, meet ups….my to do list is endless. I’m so tired. Mentally I just feel completely drained. Yesterday my husband went to Yosemite with his girls, which left me with the boys. I dropped them off at my mom’s house for just and hour so I can run errands and go to my carehomes –…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Confidence. Discipline. Practice.
June 16, 2011It’s 3:20pm. I have approximately one hour to get ready before I am off again – I decided to plan a fun night out for my girlfriend, Stephanie, who eloped a few months ago and will be hosting her reception in July. It’s going to be SO much fun! But I will keep the details hidden since she MAY read this. Right now is also the moment Nicholas finally decided to take a nap – after HOURS of teething and…
