Sleep Training

Tucker is now 7 months old.
Tucker has never been a good sleeper.
So now we are trying sleep training, and you have no idea how much I dread it.
We have an article we are using that has all the instructions for the specific sleep training we will be doing ( I will reference it below) I watched a youtube video (which I will link below as well) of a mother who tried this method and it seems to be working for her, and we are going to give it a try. I wanted to document this because I wanted to be able to look back when Tucker is sleeping through the night, and know we did the right thing. You may be wondering what sleep training is, it can also be called the cry it out method, but ours will be a little different.
Tucker could wake from his nap at any time so I better run, but I will be on here tomorrow hopefully with an update on how tonight goes. *cross your fingers for me!*

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...
