MIA

I've been so busy lately and haven't had time to really workout or blog about it. A lot has been going on. Let me catch you up:

Lars' first Christmas cam and went. He really made out and had a lot of fun.

The day after Christmas, Jason's grandpa died. They don't live here, so it's hard. I'm glad we were able to see him over the summer. 

Lars turned 1 and had a huge party. So many people and gifts and food. It all worked out and, of course, he had fun. He was very social and "talked" to everyone.

Just a couple days ago, my (almost) 15 year old cat died. I had him before I met Jason (just before). It was pretty sudden (all within 4 days). He never acted like an old cat.

I have been able to do some workouts (from YouTube). I love Fitness Blender. I've only done 2 workouts, but they were great. I've also been able to eat a lot of the leftovers from Lars' party (no one ate the veggies). This container (below) was over flowing with broccoli.

The other major thing that has been going on (for about a week now) is that I'm sick. All 3 of is are sick. We are getting over it, but it's tough. Whenever I get too active (too much working out), I get this cough that I can't get rid of. Can't wait to be able to get back to normal. 

How has 2015 been treating you?

I will be posting again, as soon as I'm able to workout. Hopefully early next week. I can't wait to tell you about the videos I've found!

Just Can't Get Enough

When I was about 5 months pregnant, I stopped going to the gym. I didn't have the energy to workout, after working 8 hours. So, I cancelled my gym membership. I still haven't renewed it. I have some weights and medicine balls and mats at home, and  I've set everything up in my closet.  I just pull out the needed equipment and getting my sweat on

I absolutely love working out at home!! Lars and I go for our morning run and then when he goes down for his afternoon nap, I head outside to workout. What's in my closet: 5 lb weights, 7 lb weights, 10 lb weights, 15 lb weights, 6 lb medicine ball, stability ball, leg weights, jump rope, yoga mat and a thick, padded mat. I can do so much with all of this equipment!

Yesterday, to train for my beast spartan race in October, I did my max amount of push ups in 2 minutes and max amount of sit ups in 2 minutes. I did this 3 times. For push ups (my weak area), I did: 30, 21, and 21. Sit ups: 83, 62 and 53. I'm going to keep track of my progress and hopefully the numbers get better and better, especially in the push up area.

On Friday, this little guy turned 5 months!

Lars is getting so big! He's very eager to walk. He really want to skip crawling and start walking. He loves laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling fan, kicking, laughing and squealing. Lately (within the last few days), he's been blowing raspberries, making funny faces at us, to get a reaction (and it works), he loves his new activity saucer and loves being outside as much as possible (which is what I like too). He's just a great kid!
