PHM Abs on hold.

Yes I realize that I have posted this rocking body goal prematurely, now that our family is packing it up and moving again. (Tomorrow/Saturday) I will still fit workouts in because there should be no excuses but with all the commotion I will not be doing the workouts, and eating exactly how I want to until we pull ourselves back into some kind of routine.
Today I am posting new clippies I made though ....
To all of you from Cali. that I have had the pleasure to spend time with I hope that we will cross paths again and I wish you the best, most wonderful lives thank you for being our friends.

We will miss you all and the wonderful California

So part of this rocking abs goal of mine is because Lily hit her 18th month this week that means it has been a year and 1/2 since she slapped on that extra flab for me also I need to gain muscle in my stomach and back to help with the back pain that I get sometimes. Thank you Jamie for the welcome for the (PHM) Project Hot Mom. Also I wanted to share the boost of motivation I have from Nathan.... last night acting towards the ...I don't think you can direction. Nothing gets me going more than proving someone wrong. I also want to prove to those who are worried about getting there bodies (mainly stomach) back after kids that it is possible and I am just the average determined girl/mom.

Yesterday went well I did some cardio and weight lifting but I also ate a Mc. Donalds 99C cheese burger. I also had some delish frozen yogurt from Pink Berry. The yogurt I am ok with because I know that I can burn off the sugar quickily and it is less fat then ice cream and with the natural fruit it is good. But I know that the yogurt would have been better for me if I had a huge lunch that included good protein and vegetables. I can't do this with out eating good large portions of healthy food, as Robin commented food is very very important. And as a mom I am driven some what by what Lily eats I share with her etc.

So far today I have decided to go for an afternoon workout that includes cardio and from now on the every day full course of ab killing workout (abs are definitely a muscle that is ok to work everyday for weight training some times you have to do other muscles on an every other day routine.) I woke up late and did not eat much breakfast (bad) I have had half a ham turkey and cheese sandwich with a glass of milk so far. (bad) Hopefully I can get a good vegetable in take before dinner. I think that the eating part may be very much more difficult for me then the work out routine. We will also see if I am daring enough to post my stomach on here yet.

Honestly I have been slacking a bit with working out, I find that I get into a rut of laziness or something and every now and then it spawns into a random workout. But that is the exact reason why I am writing this post. I know that when I let you all know... it will give me more motivation along with making me very accountable for my health and fit body desires.

So hopefully this spawn of random workout will last. Of course this fit desire is due to watching the Olympics in the evenings check out these abs. (Susanna Kallur)

Lily has given me some good tone to work with in my arms already but my real desire is this stomach tone I realize she is an Olympic athlete and I am a stay at home Mom but as my father has told me better to aim high and miss a little then to aim low and hit. (something between flat and tone and hot is what I am looking for)

I will keep my workout plan posted. If you have any good ideas for toning let me know.

P.S. When you are in your weight range your body loves to hang onto that extra back fat etc.

Please wish me luck.

First I will say that I do not get out much. My sweet hubby gave me his spot to go with the group to The Price is Right. Yes so exciting (I love Drew) anyways to make a long story short, there were to many in our group for seating so, Tyson, Raschell, and I gave up our spots (sorry Drew I know you wanted me to give you a kiss) and took a Hollywood tour instead.

(The Peschke tours... buko bucks but we get some great deals)

Thank you (Peschke's) for the fun and giving me something fun to post.

Lily and I have gone to the Farmers Market downtown these last couple Saturday's it is right around the corner from Nathan's office, so very convenient for us (free parking etc.) There is always a local Orchid home grower there. Which means I may have to be banned from the Market entirely. He sales the large ones

(Phalanopsis my favorite flower even drawn on my wedding invitations)

for 10 dollars, and the small ones for 5 dollars. They are so gorgeous.
I wanted to make sure Grandma Jen saw how gorgeous this Orchid is because it is no secret that I wish I could join her at the farmers market back home.

P.S. I have had my share of these flowers and always the home grown ones or ones from a botanical store ...bloom more and keep better.

I realize that I could have taken a better picture of the orchid but lately I have been lazy I think that I just feel tired but when Lily goes down for her nap I also feel like this is the only time I have to myself so here I am posting, when I should be napping. Now I will probably get to the point that I want to nap... go lay down, close my eyes and she will wake up.

I wish Lily could entertain herself better when she is awake then I would not feel like I have to accomplish everything and take time for myself while she is napping.

Well after a lot of consideration and some discussions with Nathan. We have decided to let it be for now. But it could change soon so keep your eye out for that going private post.

Thank you all for your comments on the situation, sorry I felt the need to delete those posts.

So it is quite sad for the person who dropped it out of their car on the street, but pretty sweet for us. Nathan found this when he was working yesterday. We just need to get rid of some of the hard rap. Also he did win me a new shuffle. I am so excited to have some little tools during my runs which have been without anything until now.(most likely because I got embarrased running with my jogger disc man in my sweater tied at my waist a couple years ago.)

Anyways I feel spoiled.

Lily sadly got this nasty cut on Wednesday of last week, it is doing better now. I just spoke with my Mom about it (RN background) she told me that it may have needed stitches but it is now into the healing faze. This was after she took her band aid off and touched it with her thumb on Friday. I also put this picture on and will take one of it today for assessment from my Mom and perhaps Nurse Jen Chipping (not me.. my sister in law is Jen also)

It has been bugging her but more as an annoyance than a terrible pain, I am keeping a close eye on the cut as much as I keep a close eye on the little girl who has it, so don't get too worried Grandma's, family, and friends.

Pictures Lily painted that became butterflies and a backdrop in the kitchen.
