Naps .. Gym. Random topics.
I was never one to nap but today... I heart naps. Why? Well both Kian and Leonidus slept for 3 hours. Its hard to predict and prepare yourself for days like this. I had plans to go to a 4:30 class at the gym but the boys got up around 3:45... by the time i fed them a snack which is a must before we go to the gym and got them dressed, it would be too late. So now, I am allowing them snack time and then we will be OFF to the gym for some kidsclub for the kids and some cardio and weights for mommy!
Speaking of working out, I am loving my new membership at California Family fitness. The gym is really cool. They have an awesome KidsClub with a mini basketball court and playground for kids and activities all the time. The people that work there are SOOOO nice and make me feel better when I leave my boys there (and Kian is screaming crying for me).
I recently spoke to one of my friends who's a personal trainer and a badass body builder. She gave me some tips on losing weight and building muscle mass. For starters, here is a quote from her "Abs are made in the kitchen"... I wish Abs were made from butter! haha... that'd be awesome. or CHIPS
Dieting when you are a busy mom of 2, working and trying to keep a relatively functioning and clean household is hard. For me, the first thing to go is the diet. So now I am going to try and figure out how to preplan my meals so that I don't slip up on my diet.
I have proved to myself that I can get into a good solid workout regime. Since June, I have managed to go to the gym at least 3 times a week for a minimum of 1 hour. It was especially awesome because Neil had the month of July off of football so he was my motivating workout partner. We'd make it a family event, take the kids, drop them off at the kids area of the gym, workout and then sometimes go swimming with the kids at the gym after our workout.
Today is my first day without Neil and I'm on my own at the gym. I need to keep the trend going... I am hoping my friend's motivation and guidance will help me through the next few months!
