getting some muscle thing :). So amazing to actually see some definition in my legs and especially in my arms =)! I haven't ran since Saturday...BUT I have been working out at home and using weights. Light weight and high reps and boy does it BURN after awhile and I have learned to keep PUSHING. It is definitely paying off and the best part is I feel great! I want to be strong and toned, and I am finally working for that for the first time in my life. My stomach is SO SORE which is so exciting because I know I really worked out my abs ;). Now I just need to kick up my running a notch so that nice layer of fat on my tummy can disappear and show all my hard work. Granted I still have my stretch marks from my amazing littles, and I would not trade those for the world. My littles ARE my greatest achievement and I am PROUD to have my "memories" on my tummy. Speaking of my littles they are just LOVING working out at home with me. They try so hard to do all that I do and they give me that extra push to keep going even when I am dead tired. Hearing "come on mommy keep going!" is all I need to hear for that second wind to kick in. I sure hope that they carry on these good habits and enjoy being active for the rest of their lives :). The greatest blessing in our lives is to have each other and to be HEALTHY. We are so fortunate to be HEALTHY and have the ability to eat good food, and to drink CLEAN water. I have taken these things for granted far too much in my life. We're now teaching our littles to appreciate every little blessing in our lives and to give thanks for them. I'm a very proud mommy because they have the purest of hearts and care SO much for others and truly are the epitome of innocence. I love them more than words can describe and they ARE my happiness. It is a blessing to watch them grow and to be the one to help guide them towards being the BEST they can be.
One of our favorite books is Oh the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss and our favorite line is "You can move mountains", and I truly believe that they will :).

make it work
True words stolen from Tim Gunn :) Oh I love Project Runway....my guilty pleasure for sure!
Anyway, I decided last night that I was fed up with not running and said "HEY WORLD! I'm going to shake my booty right now!". Well I didn't literally say that but that's how I felt ;)! So I turned on my running play list and did my run/dance around my house workout. Yes, I LOVE to shake it, when my hubby isn't around that is...afraid he would die from laughing at me lol! My girls LOVE to join me and mr. man hangs out on the couch, safely out of harms way (we get crazy), and he dances right along with us. I love that my children love music as much as I do :). I did a combination of running in place, running in circles, jumping jacks, jumping lunges, squats and calf raises. I'm proud to say that although I had to workout at home I still worked up my infamous dripping sweat. I still can't get over how much I sweat when I workout. It. is. extreme. TMI?? Sorry, but this is my journal :).
It felt AMAZING to be TIRED, I have been missing that tired legs feeling. Granted I SO prefer running outside BUT you do what you have to do. I seriously took the NO EXCUSES to the MAX. No more will I sit and throw a pity party when I can't get outside to run or go to the gym. I now will workout wherever, whenever I can...NO MATTER what! It made my mood soar through the roof and I REALLY NEEDED that. I still dream about running every night but hey, it'll still be there for me when I can get back to it. Not like those roads are going anywhere and besides when my kiddos are sick they need their momma. Plus I got their endorphins going too and endorphins never hurt anyone :).
See you tomorrow!
p.s. I am SO over feeling sick so I am cleansing today. Had Green tea this morning and am drinking water like my life depends on it...because lets face it, IT DOES!
