I 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! …
Mommy Fitness Blog: “made to have babies!”
August 25, 2010Last week I ran A LOT. I ran for my warm up – I ran at the park..I even ran up crazy bleachers at a local community college. I felt great. Right now, it’s incredibly HOT in Sacramento so I’m not running so much this week. This morning, I had an incredibly long workout that included stairclimbing, an intense chest workout followed by a bootcamp class. I usually don’t take bootcamp classes, but I had a meeting afterwards with the…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I am crazy sore.
August 12, 2010Yesterday I worked out with my buddy Adrian and we did a few things I haven’t done in a while…or ever! I deadlifted 140 pounds and even did dips. (No, I’m not talking about tricep dips.) Besides working out with him, I also peformed some crazy lunges with my mommy fitness group the day before, making me sore, sore, SORE today! I do plan on working out tonight though – Dance Class! I love dance class because it’s fun, I…

Mommy Fitness Blog: My world is crazy
July 28, 2010If anyone had the opportunity to be a fly on my wall throughout a day in the life of ME then they would certainly be exhausted. Every day is going…going…going. Even when sick. (which I have been this past week) It is 5pm and I FINALLY got the opportunity to sit down and devote ten minutes to this website. I had 4 meetings, went to two care homes, shopping, etc. My day is still not over. Yesterday I had my…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Countdown to our wedding.
July 5, 2010There are a lot of weddings going on during the summertime – and many that will be occuring in the fall (including my long awaited wedding!) So if you are in a wedding, going to get married or planning to attend a wedding…then I think this is a wonderful incentive to get into some mad shape! I knew that I would only have approximately 6 months to get into great shape after giving birth since our wedding is slated to…
Mommy Fitness Blog: my feet are dying!
June 28, 2010Right now my entire calf area is sore – including my feet! We went on a 10 mile hike on Saturday and boy did it kick my butt! Not only was it hot and steep, but I was carrying 30 extra pounds on me! Half the time I carried the little baby and a heavy back pack – the second half, I carried the big baby (who loved to move and steal my sunglasses!) Litte Christian had NO idea what…
Mommy Fitness Blog: 5 weight loss tips.
June 17, 2010I’ve been training for almost three weeks now! It’s been a long road back though. I definitely feel weaker. I can’t perform as many push-ups or lift as much weight. The levels on my cardio machines are much lower and I feel soreness daily. I’ve been training an average of 4-5 times per week and been watching what I’m eating. I’ve dropped arond 3 pounds, which is slow, but great! I definitely see a huge difference in my abs. That…
Mommy Fitness Blog: First week BACK
June 7, 2010It’s Monday and I just had a long night. My nights go like this: Hopefully I sleep by 11pm…since David sleeps later, he can tend to the baby until 3am for his first night feeding when I awake…then 5:30am…then he awakes again around 7:30ish, which at that point, I ask David to feed him because I end up sleeping from 6:30am – 9:30am. So as you can imagine, my sleep schedule is pretty erratic. I don’t know how I function…
