Blocker Boys On the Go!

     I know I have been totally slacking over here.  So this post will be a run down of what is happening in our world.  We have been totally busy doing an array of different things.

     Since my last post on my birthday we have been of course tackling the normal everyday life.  We are contemplating what to do if hubby is on the ship for Christmas.  This is a huge discussion that we both sat down and talked about.  I was actually amazed by a few responses we got when people were informed of the upcoming decision.  I got several questions related to the stability of our marriage.  Really we are fine I love hubby to death, and this is just one more thing that military families have to cope with.

     With the looming holidays and no daddy/hubby we are moving all of the holidays up this year.  So this coming weekend will be busy at our house.  We will be having K2's first birthday party and Christmas all on the same day.  We will wake up as a family pretending it is Christmas morning.  Then we will roll into the first birthday festivities.  There will be tons of food and fun to be had by all.  Of course no one has RSVP'd to little man's birthday so it may just be a family event.  I think the sister-in-law and her family will be coming, but they just decided not to RSVP based on the you know we are coming rule.

     I have been following my work out schedule everyday, and I am stoked to see the results in the mirror.  Next weekend is also a measurement weekend for my fitness goals.  It will be exciting to see how much progress I have made.  I did step on the scale for my 30th birthday, and was happy with that result.  Just since I have started my Insanity program I am down 5.5 pounds.  Since I have started eating healthy, and increasing my fitness I am down a whopping 16 pounds.  The measurements will just be icing on the cake since I can already see results in the mirror.

     I think hubby is getting on board with health and fitness improvement since the Navy is evaluating him for high blood pressure.  In his defense he does work in a high stress environment, but he also has some bad habits that are not good for his blood pressure.  Hopefully he will stick with it, and reach a goal while feeling better for doing it. 

     As for the kids K1 is in love with talking on the phone, and playing all the game apps that are on my cell phone.  K2 is coming into his own little world, and trying his best to walk.  Both of the boys are into anything they can reach.  Being a good big brother also includes giving the little man anything he can not reach on his own. 

     Let me know how your family is preparing for the holidays.  What will you be doing that is special this year?  Do you have a tradition that you share with your children each year?

     Alright then where are we jumping?  Straight on to the fitness train.  When I was in the Navy I worked out on a fairly regular basis, was a healthy weight, and looked good.  I got out had 2 kiddos, and just left fitness some where back there in the dust.  

     So tonight I was talking to another Navy wife, and she is a beachbody coach.  I had no idea that one person from an active duty military household could be a coach for free.  No monthly fee, and a discount on products.  Count me in!! I sent in my application tonight, and can not wait to order my first set of supplements, and a new work out.  As soon as I get it all set up I will get you lovely readers a link to my sight on beachbody.

     I am totally psyched to start working out, and get fit and healthy.  There is this little black dress that I wore once that is calling my name.  I have not been able to get myself to toss it.  As  a family we have been eating healthy, and that has started me on a little weight loss.  I totally intend to push it into full gear and look awesome better by Christmas.

     My new coach Sara is super pumped, and energetic.  I think she has just the stuff to make sure I stay with my new work out goals.  Stay tuned for updates, on my health and fitness journey.
