It's been a long road. And the road isn't over yet. This is me today, and me back in December. This was a photo that I sent out with a tweet back in February (around Week 12). I felt like a MILLION dollars that day! Those are jeans I wore before Addie was born. Let me say that again... I FELT LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS! It really didn't matter what...
So here we are again. Time for me to completely embarrass myself and forget that not only does basically every human being I know read this blog...but also, quite a few thousand I don't know... Breathe, Shanna...pretend they are all standing in front of you in their underwear.... Oh wait, that's me. Well, not really. But it might as well be.... (click on a photo to see the full image)...
What have you done for YOU lately?? I've really struggled to find the "Me Time" the past few weeks, but I honestly have to say for as hard as it's been to find the time, once I do, and once I get that workout in I feel LOADS better! I know "they" all say this, but 6 weeks into this, I can say it really is true! I feel better,...
(Don't I just look SOOO excited in this photo!!? Sheesh! Truly, I hate taking these pics, but I know I need to so I try to "grin" and bear it....here's the update at Week 6).... First a little back story... In college I did an Outward Bound course one semester. It was offered through my school and was one of the best experiences I have done. If you have children...
So as you know, Getting Mama's Groove Back is my current "project" (or "thorn" in my thick side) either way, it's my daily challenge right now. Because I'm often on the move (helping 1 or 2 kids on the potty, running after a fast 10 month old crawler, dashing out to do 5 errands in my one free hour...) I needed to have a few "grab em in go snacks"....
Why do I feel like each post lately has been a major declaration of my current state of soul searching?? Sheesh! Where is the fun in that I ask ya!?!? Truthfully, there hasn't been a whole lotta fun going on lately....it's a little tough to post about the fun and exciting things we're doing and how we're doing them if we aren't doing them...just sayin'... But the point of this...
If you had told me that I would do a detox or cleanse, I would have chuckled louder than Santa Clause on Christmas Eve (with my "bowl full of jelly" post prego belly!). BUT, I'm at the mercy of the fabulous Erica from Knocked-Up Fit to help me get this baby weight off. So to start things off last week, she asked me to do a 3 day cleanse with...
It's been a fun week so far (I say fun lightly here...) Started off this past weekend with a Pilates group class that Erica taught on Saturday. Planning to keep this class up as it's at 8:00 on Saturday mornings which is easy for Hubs to watch the girls and for me to escape make it to. Pilates DEFINITELY challenges every muscle you have, and I love that it helps...
Yep. That's me. Not the easiest photo to look at. But it's me. I'm a real person, with a real life, that faces most of the same daily challenges you do. I have 3 darling little punks that will be 3, 2, & 1 in 3 months. I love them, but I do not love what 3 years of pregnancies left my body with. It's time to get Momma back...
Sooooo, how is everyone doing?? I gotta say, week 1 really wasn't that bad! I actually lost 5 pounds and we ate REALLY GOOD food. What were some of your favorite things you made? We LOVED the Avocado Orange Salad (p 100 FBFD). The Berry Good Peanut Butter Scones (p 73 FBFD) were a GREAT breakfast staple. Hay even made a try for it. The Penne Pasta Salad (p 95...
