Meanwhile At The Hall of Justice!

Have I told you lately that I am so Thankful for my regular schedule???

I mean I am great full to have my kids home for 2 weeks....but during that two week time that they have off...it seems like all I hear are fighting among Leslie (who is 8) and Sam (who just turned 6). And it gets to the point that I am ready to pull my hair out, because they are snapping at each other, and I feel that that is more my fault. Well...because before I found out I had hypothyroidism..I was irritable..pissy...and sometimes just down right mean. Now that I have my "happy pills", I am more me. Things don't really annoy me as often. I really just kind of am relaxed about things.


Moving on, like any good mom...I love my kids. But I am so glad that they went back to school this week...and I am on my normal schedule.

So for Christmas this year one of the main big presents that I bought for Ken was Body Beast. It is a weight lifting program and I was so excited to see his face on Christmas morning..because he had mentioned that he wouldn't mind trying it and I knew that it was on sale...so I totally bought it.  (Yeah...I really wanted to try it too).

Here's his face when he figured out what it was...the box was kind of misleading...he thought that he got shoes!
I just love the fact that he was so surprised!! The only person in our family that I told was Kylie. The others really can't keep a secret. And I told my fitness group that I belong too...cuz I was so stoked!!

After Christmas Ken and I decided we were going to try it...so last night we watched the Basics dvd as well as the first workout.

So first of all

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF SAGI!! HE"S HUGE!!!  Yeah.....I'm a little nervous!
I kept thinking...what in the world did I get myself into....why did I buy this for Ken...??!!

Yeah..I think that its safe to say that I was totally freaking out!!
But change is good...right!?  And I know that I am not going to build muscle like the dudes...I'm just not built that way....and change is good.


That has become my new mantra for this year...change is good. Muscle is the new sexy!! I will totally give a review of the program after I complete it in 90 days! so stay tuned!!

Nutritional tips...okay maybe NOT but its just things that I do

 Request after request came in and so yes.....I will write a nutritional guide..if you wanna even call it that. So..............(<<<<those dots were pointed out to me in my last blog by the hubbs..so these dots are for you!) Did you know that no matter how HARD you train...no matter how long you spend with Shawn T, or any other trainer that you love....its only 20%.   yep, ya'll heard me ONLY 20%!!!!!!!!!! I know my jaw hit the floor too when I was told this number! Surely there must be some kind of mistake! Well after hours of banging my head against a wall(okay so I was down on the floor throwing a temper tantrum like a 3 year old, kicking and flailing my arms...) I came to accept that no matter how hard I worked out the reason I was not seeing ANY results during the first part of my fitness journey was because diet is 80%.  I know...it sucks....but it is totally true. Hmmm well how am I going to eat healthy?? Well to be quit honest I just remember introducing

It's the Holiday season!!!

T'was the week before Christmas when all through district #91 some choir teachers thought it would be amusing to have 2 concerts in 2 separate schools on the same night.  The parents not so much! How exactly was I suppose to show support to both daughters?!! We did what any normal parents would do in this situation...  We split up, JUST FOR THE CONCERTS!! Talk about divide and conquer baby!! It was great! Ken and Sam went to Leslie's concert...which was themed The Polar Express. And it was cute. Ken was able to get a couple of cute pictures and a video. When I watched it when we met back home...I couldn't help it...I started to cry because I don't want to miss these precious moments of her life. I don't want her to look out into the audience of anything she performs in and be that one parent who doesn't show, I can't handle that look of disappointment in my children's faces.  So that left me...and my mom to go to Kylie's concert.

I almost surrendered

It has been a really long time since I have blogged last and I know that I said I was going to blog about Girls Camp..but I will eventually get to that..but these last 2 weeks have been so hard. Like harder than normal...I felt myself wanting to give in and give up to the pain in my heart.  I thought that this latest trial would break me...I feel as though I have noghting left to give. What am I suppose to learn from this that I haven't already learned from the last one. Well...I'll start from the beginning to get you guys caught up. I am a substitute teacher and I was subbing for my son's class for about 3 weeks because his teacher had to have surgery and she was out for a while. So I'm subbing for this teacher who is great and I sometimes wonder if I'm even qualified to fill her shoes cuz guys teaching is H.A.R.D!!! And I've known most of these kids for a while...I subbed last year for and so for the most part I'm pretty comfortable with the kids...
