Ok pure barre take two!

So I have revamped my eating today. I had boiled egg whites for lunch, and rediscovered how much I like tuna at lunch. Then I had ham (which wasn't my first choice but it needs to be gone before next weeks shock to the system) and green beans. I have consumed 3 big camelback bottles of water and have for the most part passed up snacking. Oh I also had a banana and a tsp of peanut butter.  I know the first week is the hardest so I am doing my best. I did have two cups of coffee this morning too :-/  I will shorten it to one but I don't think I want to leave coffee in the dirt and honestly I don't know that I can drink it black. I love it too much haha. 

I did my second pure barre class today and it went better. Not quite as tough but still pretty tough! I am def going to be sore tomorrow and prob the rest of the week. I didn't do insanity yesterday :( I know shame shame ya know my name. I was too sore and by the time I talked myself into a motivated frenzy thing 2 woke up from his nap :(  so there ya have it. Night time is the hardest to not snack so if I do it won't be anything delicious haha (like those two Reese's cups I had last night). 

Inspired fit vs flab

Ok so I will admit it! I am skinny fat lol yes it sucks and I hate to admit it but yo yo dieting just isn't a long term thing. I am not over weight by any means but have extra "love" in places I wish it weren't lol. So I came across all these pictures of people that got inspired to get fit. I started taking Pure Barre classes on Tues and holy heck batman! I am sooo sore today. I won't lie I have considered not doing my insanity today...(I'm determine to make myself do it tonight before bed). So now I am trying to decide whether to follow paleo for 30 days or to do this inspired to be fit challenge on IG. Decisions decisions lol so my plan is starting Monday I will be clean eating and working out 6 days a week. The working out part I've got bc I've been doing it just got lazy after my beach trip last week.  So it will be 3 days of Pure Barre and three days of insanity for 30 days. Once that is done I am thinking maybe either keeping up pure barre (it's soooo expensive though) or just giving in and doing 30 day shred. I am also interested in the new Shaun T workout T25! I am ready to be firm and fit and not live by my scale. So wish me luck, lots of motivation, and pray for me bc I LOVE LOVE LOVE food. Mainly food that tastes good haha. I don't really like veggies so this will be tough for me to learn to like new foods. 

Update!

So after six weeks of praying and worrying I loaded up and went to my follow up appt this morning. I was so nervous of what they would say that I couldn't eat anything. I even skipped coffee. Got to my appt and had follow up scan. Went up to see the doctor and he said he was quite surprised with my results. He said he thought for sure that we would have to do surgery. He said the cyst was 5cm six weeks ago and today my scan showed that not only had it shrunk but it completely disappeared! I am totally relieved and feel carefree for the first time in six weeks! So nice to breathe! Thank you for all the prayers and reassurance bloggy friends. 

Week one done

So wow week one of preschool is over! Yay! Preston seems to be enjoying it and it is wearing him out :) we are so used to sleeping in (9 am late) that getting up has been tough. I wake at 630 which I am slowly having a love hate relationship with. I hate getting up early but I love that I get up and get moving to get everyone else up and  going. Coffee is on the run and errands follow. By the time we get home we have about an hour and a half before its time to pick him up. Pick him up at 12 then come home for lunches then nap for Huxley and working out for me. Hopefully to follow with an hour of quiet downtime for me too. It's been a whirlwind but so worth it since he seems really happy to be there. He has been in bed asleep every night by 8 which is much nicer than the 9-930 we let him get by with during the summer. 

We have orientation for Huxley on Tuesday.  He has already informed me he wants to stay home and no school for huxwee. Oh sweet sweet boy he is being really really tough to love this past few days. Terrible twos are in full swing at our house and I am slap wore out! Physically and emotionally. I literally wanted to go to bed at 7 last night I was so tired. I need to get up and workout today but golly I am so tired I'm seriously considering skipping it and waking up early Sunday to work out instead. Mama could use a nap too.  Anyway I digress. I really am looking forward to the two days where both boys are in school and I can get some free time. I love my boys but I am in dire need of some one on one time with myself.  Anyway we are just getting used to this new schedule and exciting time for my boys. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Day two

Today was better. P was tired still so was running a tad sluggish today. I guess that means an earlier bedtime. He seems to really like school though which makes me happy. When he's happy so am I. 

Huxley has decided he wants to potty train. He pooped twice on the potty Saturday at my Aunt and Uncles house in GA which was exciting. So we went today and got some big boy undies. We will officially start in the morning. Hopefully he will get it fast...fingers crossed. 

Doesn't he look adorable lol he was so proud of himself! 

On another note my poor dog Toby apparently got trampled by the if dogs at my moms and now is hurt. I am hopefully he will feel better in a couple days if not then we will go to the vet. I am not looking forward to that bill but I can't let him suffer so we will do what we have to do. 

Other than that not much going on here. Just getting into the swing of things for the first week of school. 

PRESCHOOL

As I lay in bed this morning I can't help but think about how my oldest goes back to school today. I have mixed emotions. I am so excited for him because I know he is really excited but at the same time I am so sad because my baby is growing up. He is going to learn so much! I just have to keep it together ;)

UPDATE:

So I got Preston up and dressed for school and I said are you excited? He said no mama I'm nervous. :( I promised he would be fine and have the best time. After brushing his teeth he begged me to let him climb back into bed and rest a little longer :) we got Huxley up and left with breakfast in hand. I practically had to pry his Jessie out of his hands and promised she would come with us to pick him up. We walked into his classroom and you would've never known that he was nervous. He walked right in talked to a few friends and climbed into his seat. Sooo big! I didn't want to cry then but writing this update has brought tears to my eyes. When did he get so big?! I am super anxious and can't wait til I can pick him up! I can't wait to see how his first day went. 

Did you cry when you left your baby on the first day of school?!

Sweet Friends

So I loaded up my kiddos yesterday and we road tripped it to Auburn to help one of my best friends ever pack her house to move. For the most part the kids haven't seen each other in forever or in the case of Huxley ever.  So when her kids got home from school my kids were sooo excited! P and her daughter B who are almost exactly the same age were inseparable from the start. There was lots of hugging, hand holding, snuggling and laughing. 

Aren't they the sweetest? We might have already started planning their wedding to each other ;) a mom can hope right lol
