Yes, 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…
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…
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…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I’m feeling skinny.
December 29, 2010At least that’s what my clothes tell me. I had to shop for new workout pants today because I only wear two – one is already getting too loose and the other is almost there. This tells you that I’ve lost quite a bit of weight as you can imagine, I have TONS of workout clothes. Now, I’ve become more selective on the tops and bottoms that I wear. For example, after I give birth I always wear ribbed tank…
Mommy Fitness Blog: REST DAYS.
December 21, 2010“rest day” – that’s what I put on my calendar whenever I fail to workout that day…either I failed or I planned it, but if it shows up more than two times a week, it was definitely unplanned. Unfortunately, last week I saw four of those REST Days on my calendar. I have just been incredibly busy. I know, I know…it’s the holiday season and I should be the exception when it comes to making excuses, but besides being busy,…
Mommy Fitness Blog: parties! parties! parties!
December 16, 2010I woke up at 4am today. When my son Nicholas woke up at 3:58pm (as he usually does) I couldn’t go back to sleep. And so I read for a while, then I did some browsing on the internet…then at 5:30am I got up to workout. It is Thursday and this is only second workout this week! I’ve been training an average of 3-4 times a week since the wedding. I’ve been so busy that it’s been hard to get…
Mommy Fitness Blog: getting back on track…
December 6, 2010So – 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…
