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!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

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 ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
