    So I have been working out really hard.  AND OUCH!!!!  My whole body is killing me.  It truly is very therapeutic to punch on the bag for a VERY long time.  Any frustrations-GONE!  Seriously……..every mom needs to have a wavemaster bag to punch on!

When I was younger I was able to do more sit ups than anyone else and faster.  Now I struggle to complete the 100 crunches that I force myself to do.  Ahhhh, youth………where did it go?????

I am dreading the holidays.  All the goodies!!! Even my mom is sending a box of holiday treats that I will have to pass on(sorry mom!).  It will even have some of my favorite toffee in it!!!  If any of you see my kids this holiday and they are on a major sugar high.  Just know that they are on a sugar high because I made them eat all of the goodies super fast so I didn’t have to look at them.

I remember reading about a celebrity one time(can’t remember which one).  The gal actually gets her dessert, eats one bite, and then proceeds to pour salt all over the top.  See I might just dig to the bottom to see if I could find some without salt.  I have NO will power!!

Someone needs to write a book about how long it takes to burn stuff off.  Like a hand full of M&M’s or two chocolate chip cookies.  NOW that’s the kind of girls need to learn.  Two chocolate chip cookies = 25 minutes on the treadmill.  OR 1 piece of apple pie = 1 Tae Bo video.  See how this works?????

OR BETTER YET………….1 Mc Donald’s coke = something, anyone got the end to this one????

I have been talking about it for months but it is finally true now! My living room has all my workout equipment in it. There is a bag in the corner for punching(my favorite and a must for ALL moms!!). I have weights, a treadmil, and jump rope(for outside!).

So I worked out today-really hard. My legs feel like jelly now. After my stretches I did about 200 punches on the bag-per arm. This because I kept getting phone calls and would take them while I was punching. Then I did 100 crunches, 50+ fire hydrants per leg, 100 crescent kicks per leg, and a bunch of other kicks and stuff. Plus a measley 5 minutes on the treadmil because the stinkin thing goes FAST even on slow!!!

WHEN did any of our mothers tell us that we would lose more and more of our bladder control the more kids we have??? You know when they say, “We would LOVE grand kids!!” They should have followed it with…….” But you will never get sleep, the little sweeties will dictate when you shower, dress, etc. and OH BY THE WAY…..Say goodbye to your bladder control.” I don’t have problems with this on a daily basis but add in some jumping jacks and some jump roping and WOW what a problem!!!

Oh the joys of a good healthy work out!!!

    We will just call it the LemoNOT diet, as in NOT gonna happen.  I called it quits when the cayenne pepper felt like it was going to completely dissolve my stomach.  When you end up rolling around on your bed in agony from the burning sensation in your stomach it is time to stop!!  Fasting on just water sounds like a much nicer way to detox your body.

This is not going as well as I planned.  Am I ready to give in and just sign up with weight watchers???? I don’t know.  ARGH!!!  Very Frustrating!!!
