Health Update

I figured it has been awhile since I shared where I am with my health & running and all of that fun stuff.  I have been really committed to taking good care of my body, and really working towards living more mindfully and intentionally.

I have backed off of the running a little, only going between 2-3 times a week, but added in Jillian Michaels Shred videos.  It's a great mix of strength, cardio, and ab work.  I love it!  The best part is that I can do it at home, I don't even have to leave, and the kids love watching me do it.  They even try to do it along with me, so funny!

I've been eating 90% clean, drinking a ton of water, doing about 25 minutes of cardio or weights a day as well as 2-3 sessions of Bikram yoga a week.  I've also started journaling what I eat, when I work out, how I'm feeling, what time I go to sleep and how I'm parenting each day.  I think writing these little details down make you much more mindful of what you are doing. 
All in all I am feeling great!  It's so nice to be taking good care of my body & mind, and I really think it makes me a better mom, wife and person.  

I'm not perfectly anything but I feel good about the effort I am putting in and the results I am getting back.  I am certain that this is the healthiest I have ever been in my life, such a good feeling to have as you are getting older!

Here's to health!!

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
