Fit Mommy and P90X

Hello all! Today I have a couple things to share. First a little background info.

If you didn't ready know, I'm a mother of two boys (the youngest is 2). So after having my last baby, I dropped all but 10 pounds of the baby weight (which I think is pretty good). But in the last 6 months or so I have started to gain weight and I am now almost up to my pregnancy weight! I still can't believe I weigh as much as I did full term!!!! So that is why my posting today is about fitness.

I was surfing around the internet and come across (don't ask me how) this really great website for women who are looking to get pregnant, are pregnant right now, or have kids already and want to be healthy. The site is called Tight Bod with a Pod . It's a fun website all about fitness and health tips for moms or moms-to-be. You can sign up for their email updates (and I suggest that you do) and they send you great tips and recipes. They even have suggestions and resources on how to start mommy fitness groups in your area. Anyways, it's a great site and I hope you check it out.

So on to my next announcement. This one is exciting for me and I hope it ends well. Here is goes: I have started and will continue to do P90X!!! If you haven't seen the infomercials then let me explain. This is an extreme workout routine that is designed to get you in the best shape of your life in just 90 days. So I have been working out an hour or more a day doing push ups, crunches, pull ups, and weight lifting. Now when they say that is it extreme, they are not joking! I am now on week two and going strong (with my husband to help motivate me). I really want to make it the full 90 days and "graduate" from the program. I will keep you updated on my progress and maybe (if I'm brave enough) post some before and after pics. Wish me luck (I'm going to need it!).

I'm Back! (Well kind of)

So it's been a couple of months now since I've "seen the light" on the things that I need to change in my life. And for a while I was doing pretty good. I had a schedule and routine that I was sticking too and I was getting things done! All of a sudden, BAM!!!! Getting sick and two vacations later I can't even remember the definition of routine. How could months of work go down the drain in such a short amount of time? If someone can help me with tips on how to not let this happen again that would be greatly appreciated.

First things first, I have to get myself and my kids back on some sort of schedule: consistent wake up times, eating times, bed times. Second, I need to get back into the habits that I was trying to develop before: shining my sink and following Flylady.

And last but not lest, start blogging again. I have come across some great websites that I want to share. Also more improvements that I'm working on in my life that I would love to include you all on. I have not taken a break from the kitchen either so I have some recipes to share as well. So come back Monday for the start of it all!
