Hello all! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! This year it’s a bit tough as my mother is back in the hospital. I woke up to a crying mother very early this morning and JUST got home from driving early to the hospital this morning. (It’s 12pm) There are many things to do still. I have presents to wrap and food to make. Each year I make my notorious Macaroni and Cheese, which I will not share the recipe,…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I went running!
December 16, 2009Monday night I took a kickboxing class! It was truly an effort as I was busy all day, but since I was so efficient, I thought the day can’t be complete unless I finally get my butt to the gym. Funny thing is that many people haven’t seen me in a long time. One woman who always gave me great comments on my weight loss shook her head, laughed and said, “SEE, this is what happens when you look great…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Random thoughts.
December 10, 2009I’ve been really efficient lately. I wake up early. I answer emails on a timely basis (depends on which email address you write me). I ‘ve been working out. Running errands. Cleaning house and spending quality time with my family! I haven’t been too stressed, which is awesome. My work schedule hasn’t decreased though…I just decided that I won’t procrastinate anymore. One of the things I have a problem with is doing things last minute. For example, I have two…
Mommy Fitness Blog: blah.
December 4, 2009It’s been a long time since I updated this so I thought I should let y’all know where I’m at with my fitness! Well – it’s sorta there. I don’t go to the gym. I workout at my Mom-ME fit club twice a week (if I don’t have other engagements) and am still moving around a ton with the baby, house stuff and work. Honestly, my life is just really busy. Every day I wake up at 6:30am for the…
Mommy Fitness Blog: Drained.
November 13, 2009It’s been a lllloooonnngg week. I JUST finished cleaning my house: from laundry, to trash, to dishes, to floors, etc. I am SO much happier when my house is happy. I’m also happy when my health is happy, however, I have NOT been working out as regularly and have continued my ‘life is a workout’ plan for the past two weeks. Every day I wake up sore. Every morning I wake up sleepy. And Every day I go throughout my…
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…
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…
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…
