Don't knock it until you try it.

Ever since I've known Eric, he's always drank a colorful drink before he goes to the gym. It always smelled so yummy and fruity. It was his preworkout. Since I've been working out, he keeps telling me to try a little. I was always scared to and said it probably doesn't even do anything.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

That fruity little drink helped give me the best workout of my life! I had so much energy and i was just so happy. I've had a rough week trying to figure out where we are going with our lives because we need to change something. After taking that stuff (it's called Stimoholic!  Haha) I was in a much better mood even before working out. But back to my workout...

I had so much energy. I didn't have to take as many breaks and i haven't never sweat so much in my life! And it felt great. I have just made it a routine to wake up and eat something (you are supposed to take it on an empty stomach, but when I did that it was way too intense for me. So I eat!) , feed Roman, take Tink out,  then I'll take the preworkout. You have to wait a little for it to kick in so I will usually do the dishes or start a load of laundry. Then I know I'm ready to go!

Roman is so great while I'm working out! Today he really pushed me!! He was in his bounce and every time I did a jumping exercise,  he bounced with me. He is so full of energy! He was laughing at me so it helped me push harder because I was making my baby happy and getting a great workout.

It's been great having such great workouts. I really needed that little push. Especially lately when I've been a Debby Downer about everything.

Hope you all have a great and productive day like I am!

Summer is here!

I started back over today. I finally got a good workout in! But then I saw a picture of my shoulders.... why didn't anyone tell me they are horrible!! Anyways,  I did Insanity day 6 and it felt great! Then I decided why not walk to Home Depot?! Well that was a 1.2 miles from the house. Roman and i went and it was miserable.  What was I thinking?!

Oh right, I wasn't! We waited for Eric's mom to pick us up instead of walking home.. not trying to have Roman get too hot and get sick. But he was such a trooper through all of it. Such a happy baby. I sure am blessed.  He is perfect.

The last two nights I've been trying new meals. Last night I made stuffed green peppers. They were AMAZING! tonight was chimichanga... is that how you spell it? They weren't bad, but not my favorite.  I need more ideas of healthy foods that are cheap! !

Already slacking.

I told you it would be hard for me to keep up with this blog. I didn't think it would be this soon, but it was.

Not only did I slack on the blog, but I slacked on my workouts! I didn't work out once this whole weekend! Ugh gotta push so hard this week.

But we did have a great Fourth of July weekend! We had Eric's family over to eat dinner and watch the fireworks. The neighbors behind us do a huge show and the fireworks are right above you! Since it's my favorite holiday, I loved it! Roman on the only hand, only liked the little ones. Once the amazing, huge, loud ones started, I had to take him inside.

I'm also trying to apply for a stay at home job. Some of the stuff I'm doing as part of the application process is a joke!  That's all I'll say about that. But it would be nice to have a second income.

Roman is sleeping.  He woke me up at 5:45 am and is back asleep and I'm just laying in bed, dead tired. But I cant seem to fall back asleep. I'm in for a looooong day.

Happy Monday everyone!!

Seriously... 10 months already?!?

I cannot believe that my little man is 10 months already! Where has time gone?? Time flies when you are having fun I guess! It has been so fun watching him develop his little personality. Don't get me wrong, there have been some tough times too!

Like today.

I was so unmotivated to workout because he has just been so crabby. And I knew it would be hard anyways, today is called Pure Cardio. But I did it anyways because I just keep saying to myself "Wedding dress. Wedding dress. Wedding dress!" I'm a little disappointed in my workout so I will probably have Eric make me a little workout tonight. Or we can take Roman for a jog/walk!

Yesterday was a recovery day so that was pretty easy. Roman was fussy then too. But then I put his pool in our living room with a bunch of his toys, a pillow, and a blanket and he played and played until he wore himself out! It was great!
