Let's Do this! (exercise)

Ok, I'm gonna do it!  :)

I was doing so good with exercising and then December came, and went, and nothing.  I could NOT get up early enough to do anything...  Got up and did my devos and that was after the kids were up... I felt so good when I was up before them, did my devos, exercised and got in the shower.

I had a kettle bell given to me and I used it faithfully and LOVED it!  I was up to almost 200 swings...  Now, I'm back at 100...  :\ 

Life gets busy right?  Well, yes it does, but I want to get back into shape.  I want to eat right.  I want to set the example to my kids.  They know all about eating right and exercising, but it's harder when it's colder outside and can't get out and really play alot. And we do eat right, I fix all our meals, and am doing my best to stay away from cream of whatever soups, and other things that aren't healthy, but I do have to have a break every now and whip out something not so healthy,  (like POISON DOGS!!!  ;)) but for the most part, we eat healthy!  We do not do juice drinks, or fruit snacks.  I know, such a bad mom...  But I'm telling you what!  These guys act CRAZY when they get too much sugar!!!  ;)

Life is busy, but I can and I WILL set time aside to make sure I exercise again, EVERYDAY!  I was able to do it for 2 months straight....  What happened?

I make time for my deovs, I will just need to start setting my alarm and get up at 5:45 again!

I feel so much better when I exercise, don't you?  It really does give you more energy, you just have to GET UP!  That's the hard part, but if I can do it, with 6 kids, homeschooling, I think you can!  ;) So from here on out, I'm not going to miss a day, and yes, I'm posting this b/c I want to stay committed...  again.  ;)  Like I said, i did it before, I so can do it again!  It helps the day go better when I got up and got my things done and had breakfast ready, the day really did go smoother, we got school work done and felt more organized and accomplished!  :)

Today I did Zumba high insanity for 30 minutes, it was about 5 songs... and then before that I did 100 kettle bell swings and 15 pushups...  Don't laugh...  I'm starting all over again!  ;)

I know I have gained some weight through this whole adoption process, and yes, it's over and been over for a while.... (yes, you DO gain weight during an adoption, it's just like a pregnancy!  ;)) and would honestly like to lose a few pounds and tone up.  Build my muscles!  ;) 

I don't always eat right b/c I'm so busy.  Or sometimes I miss lunch, so then I snack all afternoon b/c I didn't eat lunch, or breakfast.

So now, here's to eating a good breakfast...  Even if I fix the kids oatmeal, BLECH, I will make sure I eat a small breakfast and eat lunch!

I've even considered doing a detox for a month just to get rid of the yucky stuff and start fresh...  Will see...  Maybe one thing at a time?  ;)

So there's my exercising ramblings...  ;)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
