Leg Magic

I have been wanting this leg magic workout machine ever since I have seen it on TV at like 3am. I know... I sound crazy but my legs are my biggest problem. Even when I was a size 1 I was not happy with my legs. So, I am going to use it for 10mins a day for a week starting tomorrow and see what I see after one week. It was real easy to put together and does not take up a lot of space. I tested it out to be sure I put it together right, seems simple enough. I will let you know after a week....

Special K at 2 weeks

I am very happy with the Special K challenge. Today is the end of week 2 and my clothes fit so much better. Now, I have to say that I did not follow it to the exact because I was only able to buy the cereal at first and then I bought the snack bars and waters. I did not really feel hungry and the days I got hungry I just ate a snack bar. I tried to have veggies with my dinner and stopped eating past 7pm just drank water and stayed busy working. Now, during this time I did not exercise on a daily basis or do anything different. I have two toddlers so I think that is exercise enough chasing them down to change them or get back whatever they are not suppose to be playing with, LOL!! I will measure myself today and then in two weeks. I did not know my weight or size before I started. I will post another update in two weeks.....

Special K Diet

So, I bought Special K awhile back and I was going through my cabinet and it caught my eye. I saw on the box it said 'Drop a jean size in 2 weeks'. Um mm...I thought, I can do that what do I have to do eat cereal all day. So I continued to read eat special K in the morning and breakfast and have a regular dinner and can snack on special K bars. I decide to try it, this was Monday. Its now Sunday and I feel like I have lost some weight. I can tell in the way my clothes feel and in the mirror. I do not own a scale but I will try to get to one to see after the two weeks to see how much weight I have lost. I am very happy with the results so far. I don't find that I am hungry and if I do start to feel like I might need a snack I drink some water and eat a special K snack. The special K cereal and bars are very good, not anything nasty or flavorless. I would recommend other people to try it. I should have measured myself but I always see how my clothes fit to be the true test. I bought special K cereal and snacks when Publix had them buy 1 get 1 free and the snack 3 for $7 but I think walmart has them on sale this week. I have not done an exercise or anything different in my routine. Look for another update in a week!

The Secret!

Wow, I finally got to watch The Secret. I have been waiting to watch it or listen to it for over 1 almost. I started to listen to the CDs but I got them from my little sister who had them thrown around in her car and they were all scratched up and missing on CD. I started watching The Secret last Sunday and finish this Sunday a whole week to get through one DVD. They have some get information and stories and I believe that its true. We must focus on the things we want and start to feel good about them now. I had already created a vision board and a gratitude list, I think its important to know what you want out of life and to be thankful for the things in your life now. I even printed a check from The Secret website and posted above my bed so I can look at what my goal is everyday and focus on it for me and my family. My life is only going to get better from now on just by having a positive attitude and a vision of what my life will become.

My first night with no kids!

Last night was the first night in about two years I slept with out having to get up to feed or check on a baby or even go to the bathroom.
My two year old use to love going to bed sometimes he would tell us good night and head to his room but the last month or so he has ended up in my bed. First, it started with getting up with his dad in the morning and then in the middle of the night and then he just would not go to bed in his room. Now, my other son just turned one and stopped nursing at night so I decide to put him in his crib that is in the room he shares with his older brother. So, Monday night was the first night we tired this, my oldest son cried and screamed till finally I put him in bed with my husband because I had to get my hours in for work. Now the baby slept int he crib for the first time all night by himself, I was so proud. Next night Tuesday, put both of them in there was not going to let anyone out this time, I was determined. They cried and cried, I kept going in the to put them back in their bed and lay them down. I would say the baby slept off and on waking up with his brother screamed for too long but for the most part he was good. The oldest just kept getting up and throwing his pillow and blanket over the gate. Finally, I stayed with him until he went to sleep. About 2am I got up because the oldest one was screaming crying at his gate with pillow and blanket thrown over the gate again. I went in there put him back in his bed, turned his music on and waited until I thought he was asleep as soon as I got to the door he jumped out of his bed crying mommy. I decided to lay back down and see if he would cry it out. After trying to sleep over his crying and screaming I got up and it was an hour and half later. I opened my door to find him sitting at the gate with his legs through it screaming crying, lights on and blanket and pillow thrown over the gate again. I really don't know how my baby did not wake up during all of this, I'm sure he did sleep good. I decided at that point I would probably have to sleep in there, so I grabbed the mattress pad someone made for the playpen, my pillow and blanket and laid down in their room on the floor. I did not sleep good at all and my oldest woke up bright and early 3 hours later. I thought there is no way he slept enough I know I did not. Needless to say it was a rough day. Now nap time is a different story they play but then they go to sleep no crying or screaming. So, lets continue on to Wednesday, I put them both in their bed and waited a couple minutes and then left. About, an hour or so later the baby woke up crying and the oldest was awake too so I stayed for a couple minutes and then let them cry it out, not very long. So peace and quite until 4am the oldest woke up and I put him back in his bed and stayed for a couple minutes then went and laid back down. No one else got up or cried until about 8 when I awoke to them laughing and playing. I was so happy, I took them to the beach and out for pizza. Now last night I put them to bed and did not go back on their room until morning. It was great!! I thought after Tuesday night it could not have gotten any worse and uphill we went!! I am so proud of my boys and thankful for my bed back!!

Never enough time in my day!

You ever feel like there is never enough time in your day. From the time I get up to the time I finally lay down I am going, going, going but I feel like I did not get everything done. I am a stay at home mom of two perfect little boys while going to school online and working from home. My day consist of getting up changing and feeding my kids, washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning floors and high chairs and hoping to get some hours in while my kids nap after nap I start counting down until my husband comes up then I have to make dinner clean up and start doing some homework. Then once my kids go to bed I try to get some more hours in for work. I just feel like my to do list just keeps growing I make off two things and somehow five more things get added to my list.
