30 day Ab Challenge

Well its about that time to start following a challenge! I'v been just doing some things here and there after taking all the resting from my foot, but never just jumped full back into a routine. I have vacation in a little over a month so I need to do something!

It's seems it's a lot easier to be motivated before summer, because  your getting ready for summer and your results will show during summer. Once summer hit's its just not so motivating because by now your just going to look the way you do, and if you start something now your not seeing any results until after summer! lol  Or is this just how I see it? No idea! But also keeping up on your workouts equals out with all the bad eating that happens at BBq's and Birthdays!

During the weekend I got some running in, I keep up'ing my distance by very little. Than the week started off Great, I did two levels of 30 day shred and also added a bike ride. Than yesterday we went to Crossroad Village & Huckleberry railroad, which was lots of walking!
 

 My daughter and I on the Train!

 boat ride!
 finish with a horsey ride...in a skirt...yes! lol This one went so fast and so high up I had to ride with her!





So I just saw this July 30 day challenge that RunToTheFinish is doing...


The Abs Challenge is based upon the Strong Like Susan 30 Day Challenge! She has 30 videos which provide you with daily exercise or clean eating tips on the rest days. The reason I selected this program is because these moves are NEW and DIFFERENT. You may have seen some of them, but I doubt you are doing many of these very often so they should be great for giving you a kick start!

Off to do some kind of workout, I'm not sure what I wanna do yet! lol Than swimming and tanning its going to be over 95 degrees here today! AHH!

Parenting

I'm not one to beat around the bush and lie and say parenting is easy...It's hard and really tests your patients! Kids go threw crazy stages where you want to pull your hair out! And its ok to have break downs, cus we all do!

 Crabby-ness is not something I deal with well, and shes been crabby for so long now. In that stage of "I cant's", being super bossy, and just not listening! WOOOWW!  

I don't know why they say terrible 2's but I swear its terrible 3 weeks before turning 3's that are HORRIBLE!

How do people have more than one kid..let alone 3 or 4 kids each in some different bad stage (teenager, toddler, and up all night new born? Yeeeaaa riighhttt!) .... oh what crazy people!



Now this week has been a whole different story!

It has been the best week! Well hey not with working out or really eating so healthy....but My daughter has been a dream this week!

And with her being so sweet and not so crabby...

I..
1. Feel like I don't want to strangle someone by the time 5pm hits...
2. We get (or I want) to do more fun things like go to the park, do lots of crafts..so on
3. get my husband to hang out with my more since im not crabby! lol

Most of all, I feel like a better mom! Sometime when your so frustrated and need to just take a vacation in the bathroom (yes going pee is like vacation! that is if you get to by yourself) you feel like such a big fail..or bad mom, its no fun..


So all happy-ness this week,
Let's see how long this lasts!

With that being said, Here is my little love...

She loves airplane rides..

 and she thinks she gives me one too!


I practiced making a small monster cake for her monster Bday party in three weeks! I just couldn't see paying the money for someone else to make, if I can try and do it. It turned out good, and really its so hot on her bday it will prolly melt so no need to spend a million dollars!

Ill have to make a whole post with all my monster ideas for her party!



She was so cute that while we were watching a movie she said "momma I hold urs hand" uhhhhh melted my heart!


All these moments make up for all the crabby moments, I wouldn't change anything! Being a mom has it challenges, but has such better rewards!

We meet again!!!

Well this week is going great, I feel like I'm on the road to being back to myself!

I got back to getting my sexy sweat on everyday this week with my videos and bike riding, than today I reunited with my sweet love...the TREADMILL! Yes I love that thing, and I know it (he or she? hmm I think it needs a name!)  missed me also lol!

I did 5-4-3-2-1 intervals with distance not time. So .5mi walk than .5mi run, .4 walk, .4run, .3 walk,.3 run...yada yada you get it. equals 3 miles, which I got done in 38 mins...I just want to start slow with walking and running and we will see where it takes me!

Call me crazy, but I really do ♥ running, I swear I was smiling the whole time that I just wanted to run like Forrest and never stop, but I had to be smart and start slow...booo lol

My daughter is at grandmas for the weekend, So I have been laying in the pool tanning, being super lazy and enjoying my off duty time! Now I'm off to shop ALONE (yes that's like vacation, even taking the shower alone before shopping is vacation), get my ring cleaned, and than some BFF time!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
