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...  ;)

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m
