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 night to make sure they're getting the full benefit of the workout. I can really say this class is making me feel like myself again and giving me energy from really challenging my body and pushing it, which it was totally PUSHED last night, I am so sore today I can barely sit up straight. Motivation comes easy when you have to actually show up to teach the class. I like it. Until next time.

Motherhood Right Now

I've gotten into the habit of getting up 1 hour before my husband and *fingers crossed* two hours before the kids. I'm a morning person and crave that time to sit and think and drink my coffee. I can see out of the kitchen window, where I sit to write my post, the sun is just about to come up. I'm so tired, Grant nursed a lot through the night last night, which he's been doing more frequently, but I feel good that I'm up and getting ready for the day. Motherhood has changed since Easter. Easter day Grant started to crawl forward, I say that because for weeks he would crawl or slide backward but showed no signs of going forward until Easter. He loves to explore and doesn't need to sit in my lap all day. Not that I've gotten anything done, I just love to sit and watch him and Tucker interact. Its bittersweet, my arms feel free, but I'm starting to think I"m more attached than my kids. I miss him sitting in my arms and looking at me most of the day....

If I Could

If I thought I was organized enough to keep one book full of information I might be learning the hard way, a day late and a dollar short kind of thing, I would. I would write down every nugget of information for my boys to learn from. Learn from MY mistakes rather than your own. Do I honestly think they will read it and believe it? Maybe when they're 30. Certainly not when they need to read it and learn more about the world, like age 10. I wish I had known so much more before leaving High School. I got dumped into this world naïve and ignorant and just a tad too "happy go lucky" for my own good. I thought all people were like me, happy, nice and trustworthy. I went to school in a bubble and left trying to believe everyone I met was good and honest. There are also so many financial mistakes I've made and a lot of career mistakes, mind you I wouldn't change a thing. I love where I'm at and how I got here, it makes me exactly who I am. I just wish I had known a ...

Food and My kiddos

I can use the plural version of kids because I am now 32 weeks and feel as though our baby #2 will be here soon!!! Anyways todays post is about feeding Tucker and our new one. First lets acknowledge that Tucker did not breastfeed, he never latched so I pumped and it was really hard so Tucker got 2 weeks of breast milk and then was switched to formula. I'm not judging anyone using formula but I always always wanted my son to have the most natural nutrition, breast milk. Since that did not work out, I'm a little pessimistic about baby #2 breastfeeding. I wish I didn't feel this way but I almost believe it won't happen. I will try my best and try to breast feed but I'm scared the cycle will repeat itself. Hopefully in a month or 2 I will find out my worries are all for nothing. My current struggle is feeding Tucker. I've been pretty LAZY about feeding him healthy food. Lets face it I am pregnant and although I never can say I've really had "cravings...
