A great start to the weekend

This last Saturday my sister invited me to go on an early morning run at one of our beautiful local parks, and it couldn't have made me happier! I mentioned before we have both completely changed to a healthier clean active lifestyle and it has been such a blast sharing it with her =) So we started at 6am n it was still pitch black out! thankfully the sun came through and we weren't eaten by creepy crawlers in the trees lol. We started out together n then ran at our own paces and then met up for a cool down, It was so energizing to run out in the open air and listen to music and not have to think about diapers or dinner lol. I challenged myself and burned about 400 calories in about an hour woo woo! Then we rewarded ourselves with her amazing cottage cheese peanut butter pancakes with fresh blackberries! yummmm, good times, good vibes, good food, good sister =) Being the great little sister that I am I returned the favor Monday night and showed up with this workout from Blogilates  .. We killed it! There were no pancakes at the end though lol we were just happy to be alive! Train insane! =)

30 minutes to happy...

30 minutes a day. 30minutes of exercise that is. A month ago a friend presented me with her 30 minutes of cardio challenge, and I laughed to myself thinking yeah right where will I find the time.. Then a week ago hubby and I were talking about how much fun we used to have working out , and I remembered how much I loved it and how positive I would feel after, and I realized I had really gotten away from it. So I decided to make time! So far so good I am back doing my favorite videos and may even join a zumba class once a week! ( for now I zumba with the wii lol) Its been a challenge getting it done some days with the kiddos but thankfully Jyselle loves to dance n joins me here n there n Aaron sits n plays n "cheers" me on =) I'm sore and realized I'm way outta shape but  its totally worth it getting back on track , reconnecting with the hubby, and feeling happier and more energized to keep up with these two kiddos =)
