EM: ME and My son's room...

Amber's question for us this week:

There isn't one. :) Just update us on your progress. How you're doing. What you're doing. How you're feeling about what you're doing.

Well: I feel great! I honestly have not felt this fit and healthy since before I got married! I mean I've been an exerciser on and off the entire time I've been married (mostly on, but not always) and even when I was pregnant both times, but I have never really worried too much about my eating habits. This is also the first time since college that I have not only done cardio work but I'm lifting weights too! I'm also doing yoga, which I always thought was kind of dorky, but now I love and will never do without again!

This is what I'm doing:

6-7 days a week I'm doing: 1 hour Cardio Blast show on Fit TV- includes weights, step aerobics, kickboxing, curcuit training (I love how it's always something different and this is great for my body because it never gets into a rut and keeps my muscles guessing!)

6-7 days a week I'm doing: 30 minutes yoga on Fit TV- I love this because I am so much more flexible and it really helps with not being as sore after weight training. It also help with my core strength which helps with everything from balance to better posture.

3 days a week I doing: A running club! Some women at my church have joined up with me and we have started a running group! I am so excited and am Loving it! We are doing this training program called From the Couch to a 5K. I did it last year after I had the baby and it is great! You so don't have to be a runner to be able to do this program. If your interested go HERE to check it out. My hope for myself is to run a marathon or atleast a 1/2 marathon within the year!

I weighed myself this morning and I weigh less than I weighed when I got married! I am so excited I can not even begin to tell you!

I have really started to watch the things that my family and I eat. I'm not buying anything prepackaged or things that are full of preservatives (and if I do they are organic). I have even started making all our snacks and breads. (I know I'm a freak! Whatevah!) -But I feel great and I feel like my body is so clean!

Because of all this stuff combined: I feel stronger, healthier, happier, more confindent, and just plain better! And as an added bonus- The Hubby keeps telling me how sexy I am (and honestly I think it's my outlook more than my body that is the change he sees!)

This weeks goals: To keep it up! Exercise each day, Run, Eat Clean and Healthy, Drink my water, and most of all: to have a good attitude about it!

I have some really great, healthy, yummy snack recipes I'm going to start sharing. You'll love them and so will your families! So come back to check it out!



Shawn over at Seriously is hosting a House Tour. This week: Children's Rooms.

I am going to show my son's today and next week I'll show my daughters (next week is guest bedrooms. I don't have one so I'll show hers instead).
