Fitness Friday

Felt pretty good this week and tried to push myself more than I had been

Sunday- Ran 2 miles in 19:48

Monday- Completed my daily challenge from Fit2Flex50 , I put together an ab and leg workout, and did 30 minutes of yoga

Tuesday-  A quick at home full body circuit.

Wednesday- Ran 2 miles. warmed up with a 1 mile jog, finishing it in 9:20. The next mile was a HIIT where I alternated run/jog every 30 seconds. I ran at 7.4 and jogged at 6.0

Thursday- upper body workout from Food, Fitness and Family

Friday- rest. Planned on testing out my 5k playlist but woke up sick and never left bed

As of right now I am signed up for 4 races in the next 3 months. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to get the first one out of the way and see where I am at.  In March I have two 5k's back to back weekends, followed by The Gladiator Run in April and The Warrior Dash in May. I know we (a few friends and I) plan on more races later this year but this is the schedule so far. Goal the next 2 weeks before my races begin.. push push push!         

Wordless-ish Wednesday

Mason has just about mastered self feeding! 

Its a little silly thing but I am proud of him

the face

As of Saturday mason has a new face. 

We were at a birthday party when I heard a a lady say "what face is that?" I looked down to see Mason making the not so cute face that is now his favorite.

I have been trying for the last few days to get it caught on camera and have been unsuccessful despite his constant need to do it. Austin, however, got it on video this morning. 

This afternoon when I heard him waking from nap I thought maybe I could sneak in with the camera and capture it. Of course he would do it while I was talking to him but once the camera came out he would just smile.

I am going to try to get a photo of it but this is what he does... squints his eyes, scrunches his nose and does a open mouth/show teeth/fake smile.

picture it

Here are some photos just because I haven't put any up in awhile.

Always happy when getting up from nap

Get me out of here!

Thinking about doing the face till I got the camera ready, then stopped.

Fitness Friday

Another week of workout under my belt. I am so happy to back in the swing of things. I hadn't truly realized how much I miss working out until lately. Sure, I knew I missed it and wanted to start up again but now that I am over the every part of my body being sore and feeling like I want to puke after each workout I am enjoying the time to treat myself.

saturday- rest day.
Sunday- remember this workout I posted last week that I was going to do Friday?? well, life happened and I didn't get to it so I busted it out. As you can see there are a bunch of jumps going on. I really got a sweat out of this and a few times I had to talk myself up to continuing!

remember to do each exercise 5 times before going on to the next. My gymboss really came in handy with this one.

Monday- Mason had me up a lot last night and honestly I wasn't feeling motivated to do anything. I decided to start an Insanity workout and hopefully get into it, that didn't happen. I only completed 20 minutes.

Tuesday- Ran 1 mile while pushing a stroller-- I felt the need to tell you I pushed a stroller because it was harder than I thought it would be

Wednesday Mason slept all night last night and I was feeling energized and ready to go. The weather was ah-maze-ing!! 70 degrees in February! With only 4 weeks until my first 5k I headed out to time my 3 mile. I ran it in 31:27 and only had to walk twice for 45 seconds. I think if I can push myself these next few weeks my time will be right where I want it.  
 Also completed my  Fit2flex50 daily challenge

Thurday-  did a fun paper plate workout thanks to Lindsey over at the leangreen bean. Threw in this quick ab workout

- 25 reverse crunch with lift
- 25 side crunch (each side)
- 25 toe touch
- 25 russian twist
repeat 4 times
completed my Fit2Flex 50 challenge

Friday-planning another timed 3 mile run and completing Fit2Flex50

This week was hard on me. I wanted to push myself more but was really unmotivated. Each day I had no desire to workout and my body hurt. I pushed  myself to do at least something each day and hopefully I was just having an off week. I am realizing that my body is adapting to exercise and I need to change things up in order to continue to see results. Next week I am kicking it up a notch!

handsome time

Whenever Austin has a haircut I tell him it's handsome time, that is he is going to become handsome after his haircut. Today Mason had his very first handsome time.

We all knew it was coming sooner or later, I mean this kid was born with a head FULL of hair, had he been a girl it would have been awesome. Since he is a manly boy we decided the comb over look had to go .

Here is a picture of him at breakfast before the cut.

apparently he is excited for his haircut

He sat like such a good boy the entire time

Afterwards we had to check out how good we looked

and one final shot of the handsome big boy. He looks more like Austin now and a lot like his cousin Jax!

Fitness Friday

Now that I am posting my weekly workouts I am holding myself more accountable of doing them! Whenever I feel like skipping a day I think of how I have to post that I didn't do jack that day and it motivates me to do at least something.
Here with another weeks worth of workouts, hoping to inspire at least one of you!!

Saturday- I received my Gymboss yesterday so I decided another circuit training was in order. I put this quick 23 minute workout together and it really got me sweating!

Sunday- I completed a tababta I found over at Fit In Heels. Again it really had me working and felt good during and after. Find it here.

Monday- I wanted to work some weights so I threw together a small arm, and shoulder workout with cardio burst in the middle and abs at the end

I didn't think much of it the first time through but by the second and third I could really feel my shoulders

Tuesday- I was over at my mom's so I jumped on the treadmil for an attempted HIIT. Let me just tell you it kicked my butt, I am kind of embarrassed to put how little I did for how much I felt like puking. I am trying to prepare for my 5k which to most doesn't sound like much but I am really not much of a runner.

Wednesday- Another great workout from Fit In Heels. Find it here

Thursday- Insanity workout

Friday- morning tabata I threw together

 Hello mommy bikini body =)
