The Birthday Post

Workout: Strength training - shoulders and arms. I'm going to be sooooo sore tomorrow. I haven't done this video in about 4 months...EEK!!

My baby turned 4 quite a few weeks ago, but I really wanted to post a few pictures for me, really. I don't do big birthday parties. They're expensive, a TON of work, and I'm just not very good at that type of thing. So cake and ice cream it is!!

The big boy with his birthday cake! This is the first time EVER I have ordered a cake. He really wanted a spider man cake, and I new there was no way I could pull something off on my own. So Sam's Club helped me out;)

We just played one little game, but it was a hit!! This piece of paper cheap game from Party City was so much fun!!

Oh, I love this picture of the cousins!!! If only that dumb chair wasn't covering up Orlando:((

And after seeing those birthday questionnaires on some other blogs I read it made me want to do one, too!

A little mommy rant!

Workout: HIIT download/2mile run Okay moms, I hate being bombarded in every parent's magazine and internet article about all these super star moms. You know, the moms that feed their kids organic food, only let their children play educational games, and make their two year old do service projects. You can judge and put your nose up in the air about me, but that is totally okay, because I judge you, too!!! Seriously, I want to throw my greasy hamburger in their face and tell them to shove it. My kids are awesome, healthy, happy, and enjoy life. And I enjoy the things I do being their mom. It is totally okay to: 1. let my kids eat McDonald's french fries. 2. let my children watch cartoons....right smack dab in front of the t.v. 3. Allow them to drink a late night polar pop!! I believe this is Dr. Pepper. 4. iPad games instead of story time at bed!! I don't care that these things...

Pregnancy, Fitness, and Food

Workout: None...yet. But I might later. Which is what I've been saying everyday for about the past 3 weeks!!! Hey, you all!!!!! Guess who decided to reappear?!?! And guess what I've been up to? Just cooking up a little boy in this belly of mine! So, I'm 30 weeks pregnant, (31 according to the docs, but whatever) and NOTHING has gone as planned. And when I say NOTHING I am referring to diet and exercise. First, I had plans of running as long as I could. My goal was to run to at least 32 - 34 weeks pregnant. I made it to 6 weeks, folks. 6 WEEKS!!! Then, the morning sickness hit, and it hit hard!!!! I was sick all day and all night. I was so crazy miserable. And it didn't go away at the end of the first trimester. It lasted a good 18 weeks! Once I started feeling better I decided to just work on staying toned. I was in the gym lifting weights about 3 days a week. ...

- 41

Workout: 8 miles/1:25:02 It takes 9 months to put the weight on, and it took 9 months and 6 days to get the weight off. FINALLY!!!!!! I am at my pre-Orlando weight. I gained 40 whopping pounds during my second pregnancy, and I am ecstatic to say that I have now lost 41. I worked extremely hard to get that darn baby weight off, and there were several times I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. Thankfully, my determination won in the end. I have expressed before on my blog that I am not a healthy eater. Junk food is my good friend, and fruits and veggies are evil gross!! (Okay, not ALL fruits, but pretty much ALL veggies are evil.) So how did I do it? I cut out a lot of carbs. Not completely, but I closely monitored my carb intake. I limited my Coke and McDonald's Sweet Tea splurges and tried to drink these sugary beverages only on weekends. I discovered Crystal Light Pink Lemonade which I drink during th...
