the time has come.....

Ok... I've lost 12 pounds in the last 10 months or so and today after constantly having to "pull up my pants",  I finally realized I better go buy some new jeans.   I had pulled out some jeans from before my last pregnancy.  But I'm smaller now than I was before any of my kids!!!  I guess after wearing drawstring pjs around the house... I hadn't really noticed how much smaller my hips and butt had become!  So, maybe this week I'll take time to go shopping.  As a mom of three and an army wife, I never have time to shop for myself.  Besides not having the time, I have never LIKED shopping anyway!  But maybe I will now that I am finally feeling better about the way I look.  I guess when your heavier you don't want to buy anything cause you might just be waisting your money IF you lose the weight.  I think I'm ready and I think I'll actually have fun!

Monday is fit test for me and week 6 of round 2~  Where are you at and what do you think of Insanity? 
What's your favorite Beach Body program that you would recommend?  I'm hoping to order another one soon, so that I have something else to try when I'm done.   I am also thinking that I would like something with upbeat music and a little dancing!

Today I slept in until 7 and didnt' get a chance to work out until 11 am.  It was kind of nice for a change to have all three kids up.  I put mats out for them and let them do it with me.  Even the baby was trying new moves!!!  It was the most fun I'd had in my work out in quite awhile. I also had more energy.. maybe cause it wasn't quite so darn early!

So, give it try and let your kids have fun too.  Seeing Mommy and Daddy work out is such an awesome example of motivation and determination!  Being healthy and fit should be something the whole family works on together! 

I also took my kids to a Halloween party at a church tonight.  I had ONE piece of chocolate and left the rest in the car, so that my kids or I would not be tempted to eat any more before bed!  LOCK IT AWAY... and spread it out.. don't eat it all in ONE DAY!  I dare you...................
