Three things Thursday...

1. I hate you Alarm clock....before I decided I needed to be ripped, buff, hot, muscley, whatever else p90x BETTER get me, I woke up naturally! Now I here your obnoxious sirens at 4:45 and you are lucky your not on the floor in a million pieces.....and no I am not a violent person!

2.On the other Hand Garmin I love you!! But, I actually need to go for a "real" run instead of playing games with you! I know it is really fun to see how fast I can get you to beep at me and how high I can get my heart rate! At one point yesterday when my pace read 4:54 and my heart rate was 173 I was positive someone would have to read my Road I.D. and call the numbers, because I was gonna croak! But it was fun!

3. In general I am gloating (to my self of course) that I can feel every muscle in my body this morning! I sit straight I feel my abs, I stretch out for a kid I can feel my shoulders and back, I lift a kid and think "I could lift you for 15 reps and you would be the perfect weight!" P90x your taking over my brain.... Damn you Tony Horton the day I think your funny I will quit!

and one more thing this is just gross so be prepared


You think he has to walk around saying "it's not a tumaaaa?"

He must have been doing doubles or triples or well drugs maybe? I mean really that is gross and un-natural.....just sayin!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Dear Body....

Dear Body,

I am Sorry! Yes sorry that I woke your sorry ass up at 4:50 a.m. to do p90x! Handsome decided that it was taking up too much of our evening, so now dear body we are working it out in the morning!

I know you hurt, I know the thought of getting out of your nice warm bed, after being up with a little missy who had an accident at 2:45 is not what you were thinking you would be doing on this dreary rainy morning!

I however, am proud of you body, you held up, with eyes barley open you brought it! You loved the burn (or not) you listened to Tony's stupid jokes and you took it all in stride, at times you wanted to throw your weights through the t.v. but you restrained!

I know body you were longing for a shower afte rwards, but since this Mom gets up early her kids think they can also wake up early, so after our Ab ripper X workout, the sound of little feet was not a welcome one! I assure you I will shower you today! I promise!

You have to admit though body, it will be worth it in the end, and it was pretty funny when you crossed your arms in X fashion and told handsome to have an X-cellent day! Too bad you can barley lift coffee to your mouth! sigghhhh dear body, we will be ok and ridiculously ripped....because we Brought it at 4:50 this morning!

right out the window....

Welcome all new bloggy peeps! I am doing my best to get around to all of your blogs...let me know if I have not been by to comment yet!


P90x you could possibly be the end of me....although I love BRINGING IT every night to our workout, when I wake up in the morning your Total Muscle confusion leaves my body more than confused, it leaves serious muscle pain...still no laughing, coughing or any sudden movement of any sort! I was so excited to do Yoga last night, my thoughts were ohhhh an easy night! ummmm it was the hardest night yet, although the ommhhhhhhhhsssss at the end were rather entertaining! P90x I say you will be the end of me, yet I keep coming back for more! I better get ripped...like "oh my gosh, did you see how buff that chick is" ripped at the end....ya listening body?

and on a running note, I still have run every other day this week! Yikes and double ow...but I guess one thing cross training does is make me feel strong, I felt really strong on my 4 miler the other day. The miles clipped by, even if I was pushing both girls in the stroller, at noon, on an 80 degree day! It was fun! I felt like I was melting.....I mean I usually sweat but I had it dripping from the tip of my nose and I could tell I was getting a great workout! I consumed 50 oz of water on that run/ recovery!! Collectively my girls and the stroller way about 75 pounds, it was a challenge but it has been my reality this week as Handsome is working out of town and not getting home until late every night! I think it will prepare me for this weekends 5k, I will be with out my stroller and kids, so maybe I will fly and finally break that coveted 30 minutes! Actually anything 30:59 and below is fine with me! As long as I can say yeah I run a 30 minute 5k, I will be golden. It will be the best birthday present my legs can give me!

Tired of hearing about my birthday yet? I hope not we got 4 days to go and in case you can't tell I love birthdays. I don't care who's birthday it is, I just really like them and well I really like mine....especially since the only thing I asked for was a Garmin and to get my hair did...come on Monday!!!

and ohhhh right out the window...have you ever had a day with your kids, when you thought maybe I am not so great at this Mom gig! Take yesterday for example....

We wake up about 30 mins late...alright not to big of a deal I usually allow cushion time....note to self: everyone who lives in this house, self included moves at a turtles pace in the morning!

I realize we have 35 mins before we need to be in the car to get to pre-school, no one has had breakfast, is dressed and I am not showered...ummmm crap

When I start insisting that we eat now! All I get is whining, I don't like fruit (that is a lie my kids love fruit) I hate eggs (any other day they would be begging for them) oatmeal is gross (my kids eat oatmeal faster than anyone I know) so I threw fruit roll ups at both of them they were happier then a pig in shit! and I was so annoyed that I gave in to them....oh well I did not have time to deal! Fruit roll-ups have "fruit" in the name right?

The whining continued, all the way up the stairs to get dressed, somehow tank tops and skirts was not going to fly on a 50 degree day, but tank tops and skirts with jeans and a sweater over it made it out the door....I never ever want to hear my kids say "I can't believe you used to dress us like that..." I will forever respond "you dressed your own stubborn self like that!"

Anyhow the day continued Mommy could do no right....and the real kicker? I stepped on a crayon...it broke.....my three year old throws her self to the floor and shouts...."all these years I have taken care of you, and this is what I get, a broken crayon?" ummmmm can anyone yell out Dramatic? I honestly have no idea where she gets this stuff, I promise all of you I do not talk to her or play with her like that! It is a good thing they are both cute, they almost landed on the corner with a "free to a good home" sign yesterday!

and my Mother of the year award.....right out the window, oh well maybe next year!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

does anybody have a band-aid?

.................cause I got all cut up!!!! Last night doing p90x!!!

Sorry for the dry humor I can't help myself! If you really knew me or handsome very well, you would realize we talk like this to each other on a regular basis! He will call me from work to ask "if I have my tickets?" when I say "what tickets?" He yells in the phone "to the gun show, I am on my why home to give it!"

I promptly emailed him yesterday morning and asked him "if he was ready?"

when he replied " ready for what?"

I simply stated "TOTAL MUSCLE CONFUSION!!!"

It's ok you don't have to point out that we are complete dorks! At least we laugh together right?

So P90X started last night!! Well really Sunday night, we took our before pictures, our measurements, and did the fit test! I will say I was nervous about taking the fit test, but was able to pass it with flying colors! Except the pull up part, I made it to a half of a pull-up...blah I will continue to work on that!

Monday night we started with chest, back and abs.....can we all say a collective owwwcchhhhh!!!

Our phone convo this morning went more like this "hey baby, are you sore?", to which he said "yep, how about you?" when I said I had to bring my hair to shoulder level to get into a pony tail, it was clear, that we are doing a good job getting cut up...in the mean time please don't make us laugh, cough or pull anything up!!!

I am proud of myself, back in January I would have never been able to even try this! Last night I swear it was pride and the tears from laughing at my super exaggerated and ridiculously strong husband that got me through the first workout! I am actually looking forward to tonight's Plyometrics workout!!

I unfortunately am too embarrassed to share my before photos but once I have completed a round and have something to compare it too I may be able to share the journey! We will see!

So y'all keep those band-aid's on hand, I am either gonna get all cut up or die trying!
