So, yeah, I was SOOOO sore this morning that we decided to wait a day, and they climb back on the horse. Yes, excuses, excuses. But we also ended up being too busy to fit it in as well!
Oh well, tomorrow begins me waking up early and working out with the hubby, and hopefully going to bed earlier. Then I guess seeing as how it is already 1050, I should probably call it a night.
But when it comes to housework, I was awesome this evening, all the dishes in the dishwasher or hand washed, all kitchen surfaces wiped clean!!! Yay for energy, long phone calls from a blue tooth, and cleaning!

INSANITY!!!
So, we finally got our Insanity work out dvd's. And we went and got workout clothes for me, because SURPRISE, I've never had any reason for them. We loaded up on the usual - capris, shirt, good shoes (cross trainers were recommended), and sports bras. If you know me, I definitely need the sports bras, it actually took 2 today, and it did work, but felt like I was wearing a corset! (Made me look rather small and loggish, but I survived)
If any of you don't know of Shaun T's Insanity, check out my earlier post with the intro movie.
After the shopping and WIC run, we put the kids down for naps and geared up for our first work out. Actually it wasn't the workout, it was the first fit test, what you start out with. After a full 30 min workout, including stretching, cooling down and then the fit test, we were exhausted, I have NEVER pushed myself so hard! (and I've delivered 2 children vaginally, one 9 lbs 13 oz, although with an epidural mind you.) I have never sweated so hard either, my dad would be so proud, since he said when I was a kid I was terrified of sweating (very true).
We do 8 workouts throughout the fit test, here they are and my results.
Switch Kicks -- 33
Power Jacks -- 35
Power Knees -- 45
Power Jumps -- 15
Globe Jumps -- 5
Suicide Jumps -- 8
Push-Up Jacks -- 15
Low Plank Oblique -- 40
We also weighed ourselves and took pics, I will post pics and measurements tomorrow.

My current weight (painful to admit): 164.6 lbs
Percent body fat: 34.6
We are so sore, even after excersizing, but it was totally worth it, and I think we'll notice a change in our energy and stamina within a week though!
So the countdown begins! 62 days to go.

Kids say the darndest things!
So my kids make me laugh as it is, but today was especially entertaining.
My son has finally hit the snorting stage, so far both of my children do this. They think it's really funny to scrunch up their noses and breath really fast in and out. Quincy especially likes to use this when he thinks he's pretty funny!
(don't ya love the face, Halli looks gorgeous, but the Quincy face, I can't help but laugh!)
Anyway, Halli was actually the more funny one today (yes my friends, funnier is NOT A WORD!!! just ask my mother) So I sent Halli to time out today while we were hanging out upstairs, she walks halfway to the stairs and she inquisitively asks, "where am I going?". I reminded her she was going to a time out on the stairs and she responds, "oh yeah". Should I be worried she can forget things that quickly?
And then incident #2, shows how much I have successfully taught my daughter! We were making a salad for dinner, I pulled the head of lettuce out of the fridge, explained to Halli what it was, and then asked her if she wanted to try some, she said yes, so I pulled off a piece and she stuck it in her mouth. She made her "yucky face" and then proceeded to tell me that, "she didn't like that wrapper"!
Apparently I need to work on a few things.

So... I realized
I've finally decided that I don't have to write HUGE paragraphs each time I blog to feel like a good blogger, nor do I have to blog everyday, seeing as how I have a seldom few who follow! (congrats to you by the way though!) So, they'll be shorter and sweeter from now on, we'll see how it goes!!
Was totally shocked today, we decided we didn't want to cook or venture through the pantry and the fridge to find what we could cook. So we went to the Grand Buffet up near the JoAnn's, Chad had heard it was great, so we figured we'd give it a shot!
It was REALLY good, hit the spot and a lot of variety, including sushi for my disgusting husband. Ha, I love you Chadly, I really do, you just have a very interesting palate! We were amazed however at how our son fared. Halli had one full plate, ate about half of it, but Quincy, my amazing little 8 month old, somehow managed to mooch bite after bite of food. I swear, he had like 5 shrimp, half a roll, some soup, several bites of a cookie, macaroon, fish, chicken, rice, bananas, oranges, and he just kept going!!!
Honestly, by the time we had paid the bill and were ready to head out the door, he was still uh-ing for food.
Yes, my son grunts when he wants more food! How caveman, or Tim Taylor, depending on your age.
So yeah, amazingly grossed out by the size of my sons appetite, and apparently stomach, boy are we in trouble when he hits his teenage years!
