Look!! She's gone missing from my fitness pal AGAIN!!

It's true, I confess. I am only consistent with logging my food on the app if I'm eating good and clean.  Maybe I'll keep tracking if I have a little snippet of unclean food but last week...

And this weekend...

It would have been nearly impossible to track al my food.

It happens! 

Sometimes I am all over the place with my food. Eating a clean dinner and then eating THREE pieces of peanut butter toast, WITH honey and bananas.

Sometimes I have weekends that I have something fun to do with friends and my husband (adult fun) and I drink every day of the weekend.  

Sometimes I buy bags of corn chips totally knowing that they are for me but saying to myself "I'll put them in the kids lunches". Two days later I'll be standing in the panty eating that last bit of crumbs from the bag just to be able to toss it in the trash. I never eat enough crap to be sick, but just enough to make people in my house look at me a little funny! ;)

It's not full on craziness, just a little of this and that which normally wouldn't hit my stomach. 

This isn't some sort of binge or crazy eating frenzie because I torture myself by eating so clean 90% of the time.  

THIS IS LIFE.

I don't torture myself and do tons of cardio after a week like this.  

I don't freak out and worry that I won't fit into that bathing suits that I just bought. I keep at my workouts and  I do better the next day.

Today was better!

 Back at it full on.  Feeling myself and ready to forge forward with my goals which are completely different than anyone else's! 

I did a super great back workout, ate clean all day, drank tons of water and feel great.

Have a wonderful week! 

Breakfast is the best!

As far as I'm concerned, breakfast is the best meal of the day.

My kids on the other hand, can't stand it.     But sending them out the door without food makes me sad so I've had to get a little creative.  

I say a little because it doesn't take a genius to come up with the breakfast that I put together.

This one is a waffle with a fried egg and a dab of pure maple syrup. 

They eat it, I feel better! ;)

Happy Friday!!

**next week...

Thursday workout

Core and booty work today! 

Day 1 yesterday at the new gym for me. 

I swear it's the quietest gym ever!  The equipment Is great but finding everything and getting used the layout will take some time.

Super fun to workout with a friend though!! 

Grab a friend and it the gym! Go for a run, do some yoga, whatever, just do something fitness related together. 

It really is a whole different experience when your pushing each other!

Have A great Thursday! 

Wednesday workout!!

Give this workout a try!  It's a at home, in the gym, in the yard or in the grocery store kinda workout! 

Add weight if you have it and your fitness level allows you to do so.  Take your time or move fast, it's your workout at your pace! 

Have fun with good form! 

Happy Wednesday!! 

Oh hey!

Going to give this whole blogging thing another go... 

Check out my Facebook page for a fun April challenge going on right now.

Workouts, recipes, and motivation! 

Excited for John and I, we joined a new gym! We will be using both our current and the new one.  The new gym is nationwide so perfect for John and his travels and the new gym has friends for me!! Lol a couple girls that I know who workout use the new gym. Exciting for me to have someone to workout with!

Bonus of the new gym is that we also have the kids signed up!  They will start working out over the summer. Yoga for katelyn and lifting for Jacob.  He wants muscles. 😉

The kids are almost done with school which is great for all of us, we much rather enjoy our time with each other and out doing things. Or playing video games for some of us! Lol

We will soon be parents to a 11th grade, 9th grader and 6th grader.

Where has time gone?

First Family Fun Challenge

**If you click on the calender it will get larger**

Okay, so here it is! I decided to do this, because my kids have really started to show a huge interest in fitness lately.  Wanting to be my running partner, showing me abs and biceps and saying how they "need to workout more because they get tired from doing jumping jacks at PE"! Thats just crazy to me but I guess thats what happens when you stop playing a sport like soccer and start playing tennis. (smaller kids dont move around that much at tennis matches, I'm not bashing tennis. lol)

So this is it.  Follow along with each day for the entire month of April.  Modify as needed for little kids and older kids can do more rounds of the Monday and Friday if they wish.  You can do whatever you like for the FAMILY ACTIVITY day, just get active.  Come back and let me know what you did together.

**IF you come back to my blog and comment about how things are going, post the times  and such for your kids, I will enter you into a drawing for a special something!! **

**I will enter your name into the drawing once for everyday that you come back and comment**

**Drawing will be done via raffle copter and will be held on the first day of May**

Have fun!!  If all goes well and we have a lot of participation, I will be doing more of these challenges!
