It will be fall...

It will officially be fall Monday. Autumn, Fall, whatever you choose to call it, is my most favorite time of year. I don't know about you but the season definitely has an effect on my mood, and fall puts my spirits right up there. The smell, the colors, the coffee....coffee is better when there is a chill in the air. Halloween is secretly my favoirte holiday. I couldn't tell you why actually because it goes against my personality in so many ways. Pumpkins, oh how I love pumpkins, and fall wreaths, it's consuming! This will be my first fall season with a baby, a son. I am so so excited to experience this new season with him. For the last three months i haven't felt much like myself and to be honest I've had a bit of trouble getting used to the new normal. I'm 27 so I was a bit set in my ways, but now i'm adjusting. I'm not going to say i'm getting the hang of it, but I will say I'm letting go of my "everything has to be perfect" montra. I try less hard at keeping a tidy house and more at keeping my boy happy. I just love to stare at him. I keep hearing the song lyrics "I can't believe you're mine" in my head everytime I look at him. I know he's too young to do all the typical fall activities such as go on a hay ride at the pumpkin patch and go to Fallapalooza at the Library (I can't wait to go with Tucker when he gets old!!!!!!!!!!!!), I'm picturing a scene in my favorite movie You've Got Mail when they're at the little fair and then go into the book store for story time, but I can still do some fun fall activities such as get his halloween pictures taken and Hopefully get a family fall picture taken. (I'm a little obsessed with pictures I know.) Side Note: Not sure how often I will post, most likely just weekend posts or anytime I find a random moment filled with thoughts. Have a great weekend. It is my Monday so for all of you TGIF's out there, I will be giving you the stink eye ;) -B

Self Control

I was having a conversation with my mom yesterday about eating and self control. I can't tell you how many times I have racked my brain for motivation and simple logic on how to better control myself around food. I feel like if you have self control you don't have to be on a diet all you need to do is eat what you want just don't eat so much of it and you've got the whole being healthy thing figured out. Of course it wouldn't hurt to add some good in, that has to be said. BUT I can't seem to figure out how to control my eating when it comes to sitting down and eating supper, I overeat every sinlge time. I have two kids so sitting down to eat isn't as interesting as it used to be. When I would cook meals before I would typically slave for about an hour and by the time I sat down I would eat a small amount then be too tired to eat anymore. Weird I know. Funny thing is when you spend the time cooking a meal eating it is not as interesting as eating something...

Motherhood Right Now

I wanted to start a new update on the blog called: Motherhood right now. It will be an update on parenting and what it looks like with my two little ones at the particular age and season of life we are all in. So lets getting started by saying Tuck is practically 21 months and Grant is practically 8 months old. At the moment motherhood could be easier. I have two mama's boys and tend to choose their mom over anyone else. Which could not be more sweet. For instance after teaching my workout class last night I got home and my littlest calmed right down and was happy and my oldest sat in my lap and gave me 100 kisses. On the other hand Grant cried for 45 minutes while I was gone, which breaks my heart and bothers me to know he misses me so much when I'm at work, but I also know its good for him to be with his grandparents and it's good for me to work. I would love to be with my boys 24/7 but I have to work and work is good for me, it keeps my mind busy and I get to be s...

Exercise Update

I have taught 4 classes so far, technically 3.5 since I had a sinus infection Tuesday and only taught my 5 pm class. So, how is it going? It's going great. Teaching an exercise class feels natural to me. It's not stressful (Like you think it would be) it's energetic, it's fun and all the while listening to good music with a group of girls that are all motivating in their own way. I like to meet new people which is something this exercise class also helps me do. Although we still don't have ten people in each class making the monthly commitment, there are a good amount of girls showing up and making the nightly commitment which is okay for now, I hope I will win them over with my upbeat workout and good atmosphere. I wasn't sure how I would feel about a HIIT workout but I actually prefer it, it's more upbeat but also it's a bit shorter in time and easier to teach. Next week I plan on helping these girls with their techniques on the moves I taught last...
