Follow through friday

I'm doing it my first ever BEFORE and AFTER pictures. I'm nervous but I'm doing it........

My husband sucks at taking pictures and I was exhausted so blurry will have to do
And how is it possible that I'm whiter in the second picture???

I didn't submit these for the #jmdvdchallenge because I didn't finish the last few days of the challenge.I see a difference (I know it's not a big difference, but I'm hoping next month there will be an even bigger change) even though the scale says other wise and now I'm starting to sound like a broken record with the whole number thing.

Moving onto what I'm doing different this month....

I have been focusing on cardio. The gym has only worked out once this week but I have been doing Zumba at home and I forgot how much I love it! I took Zumba classes 4 days a week a few years ago and lost some weight and now I'm back at it.

I don't know why I focus on going to the gym is the only way to get in good cardio. I was dying after 45 mins yesterday.

I'm hoping in the next few weeks to start the couch to 5k. Hell must have frozen over because I have agreed to run not one but TWO 5k's. My sister is struggling with her weight and asked for my support so I will gladly give it to her. I'm actually super excited because on of them is the Color Run!!! There are 4 of us right now that are going to run it together and I'm looking forward to it. I can't believe I just said I'm looking forward to running someone must have taken over my body.

I will keep trucking along on this journey that I'm now calling shrink my ass and beer gut. I feel like I do good for 3 weeks and then my monthly bill comes and I must! eat! all! things! chocolate!!! My goal next time is to only eat one bag of peanut M&M's instead of 2.

And just to help erase the image of my muffin top and sandbag boobs here is the cutest scrunched nose smile from my nugget
Happy Friday!

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets! Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review. Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
