Let's Get to WORK!

I FINALLY started working out again! WOO-HOO! I don't necessarily always enjoy the sweating and feeling like I am going to die by the end of it all, but I sure do LOVE the end result AND how I feel the rest of the day. I feel stronger and more ready to face the world and I love that my kids watch and actually participate with me through a good portion of it! It's quite invigorating! After each kid I have worked out and changed my eating habits so that I could feel better and lose all the baby weight. Let me tell you it was HARD to get into the habit! Especially when that ice cream, the creamy numminess, is calling you just when your head hits the pillow or your feeling down! But I have conquered, had set backs and conquered again! So now I am trying to maintain a good weight with this pregnancy and wanted to get back into the habit now that my sick days are (hopefully) behind me! ;)

Note: Seriously NO ONE can be that happy when they are exercising..it isn't normal!!!

After I had Heath I bought the Tae-Bo Boot camp videos (LOVE them) and decided that I should watch them first to see what I was up against...I went, grabbed a bowl of ice cream and enjoyed watching them work! Of course I hadn't really put two and two together and it wasn't until my hubby stopped in the doorway busting up that I realized what I was doing! Oh it was such a habit. Got a movie...grab the ice cream! ha ha! Eventually I put the ice cream habit aside and worked hard!

Yesterday I decided to do my short Tae Bo video (30 min.) and let me tell you it totally kicked my rear! I had to pause for a break after the first 10 minutes! How pathetic is that!?! Then I couldn't even do all the moves without breathing like a heavy smoker (of course my breathing isn't up to par these days anyways). I hope it just gets better from here, but in the meantime I am going to still take an ice cream break here and there (and maybe even a cherry limeade field trip too), but try to limit it. Let's see if my Jedi forces are strong enough to handle this! ;)
