Anyway to get it in

This morning, baby let me put her in the swing! I had my breakfast (whole wheat English muffin w/pb), made a cup of coffee... Cleaned up a little, got the older girls eating breakfast... Baby was still chillin, so I jumped right into my workout, fully expecting to have an upset baby before I was done... So I did not take the time to dress... Probably not a good idea! 
Being a nursing mom, those girls need support, especially doing mountain climbers! Annnnd, doing them barefoot on carpet, not good on the skin :-/ 

Coffee is cold, big toe skin tore a bit, BUT... I got my workout in and I know it's going to be a good day! 

Here's my 'gym' equipment (stairs included)

Lets do it!

I really enjoy getting Women's Health Magazine's emails and following them on twitter! Some great exercises are posted! Here's a link to ab exercises

Hope that link works! Otherwise I will add a link to the right.

Happy Exercising!

Today is the day

Today is the day I begin my journey of getting my body back! After having three kiddos, it shows! But I am motivated to get myself to where I always wish I could be. Having a five year old, three year old, and a two month old... Time is limited, so I must be creative and use that time wisely!

I have a goal number of thirty pounds. Seems like a high number, but bit by bit, pound by pound, it will come off!

Why now? If not now, if not today, then when? Why push it to Monday? I'm embarrassed at how I look. Our family is complete. We want our kids to grow up active and healthy, and they need a good model. Having three girls, I want them to have a healthy body image. I don't want them to grow up seeing their mom shying away from the camera, avoiding social gatherings... I do not want them to grow up watching their mom 'diet', but rather living a healthy lifestyle.

The beginning of this journey will not see a huge change in diet as I am still nursing... So I can't limit calories too much, but I can change where some of those calories come from! 

So, here we go... My journey to getting my body back...
