I Haven't Forsaken You All

I wanted to apologize for not posting for so long. I started to get tunnel vision about doing my work outs. You know finding a schedule that works w/being a mom and the loss of an amazing human, my Mother-In-Law. It's just been nuts!

I have been a little off a bit, but I want to get back to the grind in my kitchen and make amazing food for my family. It also goes w/o saying along w/good food comes the working out everyday, for health reasons I need to lose 15lbs. So now I try to do 20 to 30 minutes of a cardio work out DVD. Yeah, let's be real here people, it's more like the 20 minutes. But I have been adding a 1 hour walk. Trust me this is no sissy walk! I do this walk pushing a 30lb stroller w/usually at least one kid, sometimes two! I am so just waiting around for this weight to melt off...not happening CRAP!

So I am going to try something a little different here. I am thinking about doing that "couch to 5k" training. Yes, running. Now usually I only run if Satan himself is chasing me, not his minions, Satan himself. While I really don't see myself running in any form of public race, I need the training to get healthy.

So you say, "Kristin, well sweetie that's just well, NUTSO". I beg to differ, I want to live by example for my kids. I have taught Amirah (almost 3) that we have certain things in moderation. Take juice for example, a little is good for you, a lot is just a sugar dump in your system. You may offer her some juice and she will look at you and say holding up her fingers, "Only a little because too much isn't healthy and I want to be healthy like my Mommy". I love that little girl to death.

Right now I know I am not inspiring w/my "mommy pouch" hanging down but I am almost 40 and I want to feel fabulous when I do turn 40. Anyone care to join me?

I promise to post more often...about how my body is fighting me by hearing the words, "Don't go running, there is ice cream in the freezer that loves you."

Live Laugh Love,
Kristin
