Back to Disney

Workout:  2 mile run + strength training in the a.m./2 mile run in the p.m.

Back in February we took another trip to Disney World.  This time we brought along Orlando which wasn't too much fun at all!!  You know when baby's not happy, mommy and daddy tend to fight, well bicker, A LOT easier than normal which just led to a stressful few days.  BUT, Lyla had an absolute great time and was a really good girl.  We went mostly for her anyway!!
Okay, these pictures here are just so stinking precious.  As soon as we walked into Magic Kingdom Daisy and Pluto were out greeting the kids.  Each line was about 30 minutes long and Lyla didn't whine once!!
We visited Buzz over in Tomorrowland, Donald was in Frontier Land, and then we stopped by the Polynesian Resort just to be nosey and see what they had to offer :)  Lyla had more fun meeting the characters than going on the rides.  It was all too cute!
Day 2 we headed to Hollywood Studios.  The first ride we went on was Toy Story Mania.  It was awesome!!!  I rode with Lyla, and I didn't want the ride to end.  Matt took Orlando, and although he couldn't "play" on the ride, Matt said he smiled the whole time!
After Toy Story we headed to watch the Disney Jr. show.  Both kids loved it!!  It was fun and interactive, and it was super cute to watch Orlando sing along.  He knows all the Disney Jr. shows' theme songs.
And finally, Lyla got to meet Lightning McQueen!!  She is obsessed with Cars.  We have watched the movie about 800 times, and her favorite song of all time is Life is a Highway.  At the end of the day we watched the Disney Pixar parade.  It was sooooo loud and Orlando slept right through the entire thing!!
Fun times, good memories....well, bad ones too, but we can't wait to go back!!  (When Orlando is older, of course!!)

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...

Setting Goals

I'm always setting goals for myself.  Running goals, nutritional goals, cleaning goals, etc. (That last one is always a challenge.)  I set goals so I have something to work towards; an everyday challenge to conquer.  A couple of weeks ago I thought about what type of new goals I wanted to make.  I started by thinking of a running goal.  I needed something that would be challenging, yet achievable.  I decided I would challenge myself by trying to run at least 20 miles a week. Next, I wanted to set some nutritional goals.  Anyone close to me knows that I eat like crap.  Total crap!  In fact, I honestly can not remember the last time I had a piece of fruit.  I have just a few more pounds of baby weight to lose and I know eating better would definitely get it off.  So I set a goal to make wiser food choices and cut back on my snacking.  But late in the week I discovered a couple things about my goals. The first is, don't make ru...

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...
