Family Update 2 of 4

MOM {me}

I am use to this mom of two lifestyle. It's like it was meant to be. In the back of my mind I hear a whisper that our family is not yet complete though. Which is fine by me bring on the babies! ..In a few years though. I like the space between Nicolas and Raegan but we shall see what life is like when she hits a year and a half. Having two hasn't always been easy getting use to but now that I'm back work and on a regular schedule, things are falling into place. Some days I miss being at home with my babies but then it's always nice to have a break and be able to talk to people. Plus coming home to two little smiling faces warms my heart every day!

When I am home with them, I try to soak in every ounce of loving I can. After all, I am a bit obsessed with these little critters!

so glad i decided to save money and cut his hair at home now! 

I know! Eat your heart out!

I finally updated my desk with pictures of the cutest kids on the block! I miss them terribly throughout the day but having their pictures plastered everywhere really helps!

I've adopted the habits of eating clean and working out during every chance I get. Two to three days a week I go to a Zumba class that I am obsessed with! Then on the nights I don't go to class, I do one of these three plans along with running.

I am so motivated. More than I ever have been before. Yes, I have slip ups but nothing compared to how much I failed in the past. If I have a craving for something that would set me off track, I try to eat as little of it or make it as healthy as possible. Currently I've cut out all fruit just so I could get the sugar craving out of my system. I've also limited my carb (even complex) intake more than a normal eating clean diet just so I can try and drop as many pounds as I can to jump start my progress. Annnnnd, I'm happy to report that so far I've lost 10 pounds! What did I do to celebrate?

That's right! I indulged in a little sparkling wine! With frozen raspberries..ya know because I'm classy. With this I had a side of dark chocolate. (which by the way, I never really liked before now, but after not having sugary foods for a few weeks, it tastes wonderful!)

Along with all this new found love for exercising came the worst pain of all. Shin splints! I'm still learning how to treat them because I get them when I run and Zumba. I've heard a few different ways to help ease the pain but yesterday I decided to try some Flector patches (a perk of working in a Pain Management office) and I must say, they really didn't bother me throughout the day.

I think that does it for my mom update.
