Kickin' Chicks

It is hard to believe that ten weeks has flown by so fast. The group of women I was coaching at the Farrell's Extreme Body Shaping just finished their 10 week session. They have been such an inspiration to me. They are such a motivating group of women. I was so nervous about coaching because I do not feel like I am always a "perfect" example as to what to do. But, I am glad I did because I have grown so much as a person.

My girls worked so hard. They even won the competition for most improved team. Woooohhoooooo Go Kickin' Chicks :)
Also, I am very proud to say that one girl from our team actually won the One thousand dollars. Now, I am very proud of all of them but I am not taking credit for any of their success! These women are AMAZING. I am so glad to have been able to work with them and hopefully to be a bit of a motivation.

This Monday I start going to work out at 5:15 in the morning........ Lets hope this goes well. I am not much of a morning person but I am going to try my best to start being one. Just keep smiling right???? We will see how  that goes.

Monday is going to be an interesting day for another reason too. I am going to start taking a break dancing class. I know break dancing??????? But it could be fun and I am trying to keep myself active. Also trying to stop telling myself I cant do things. If I can take a break dancing class I am pretty sure I can do anything. LOL!

 Ready for the Farrell's banquet

March Madness

Well the flu has struck the Wilbur home. Yuck! But with every bad thing comes something good I guess. I was able to get a little boost in my weight loss. 10 pounds! Yeah! Not the way I would have preferred but I have been able to keep it off.  Which in turn caused me to be able to buy a size smaller dress! I had ran all out of church and was beginning to look like I was wearing a potato sack. Dress shopping was actually fun!

I must say that this illness was an eye opener to me that I am really changing my life! Normally this would be the time I quit. How many times have we all started programs and then the first obstacle that comes our way we just give up. Not me well at least not this time. :)

Overcoming obstacles seem s to be the them this month. I am trying to work out a balance of being a good mom, taking care of myself, and working a full time job. Not always an easy thing! Nathan had a change in his work schedule which would leave the kids at daycare for another 2 hours a day. I am not very fond of this idea at all.

So it was time to use the old noodle! I am going to start going to the 5:15 am class so that I can be home at 4pm. Anyone who knows me knows this is going to be a hard one! but, it will increase my time with the kiddos by a lot! This is going to be a struggle at first but I have such a great husband who helps out so much that I know we can make this work!

I am constantly battling myself on this debate. Do I stay home from the gym to spend more time with the kids or do I take care of myself and go to the gym so that I will live to be around to take care of my kids? Not an easy choice. I feel like before I lost this weight I was always so tired and miserable that I wouldn't want to do anything. It was a chore to come home and cook dinner. But now I find I am spending more quality time with my family even if the quantity is just a bit lower.

So there is an insight in to my brain and the crazy thoughts I am aways tossing around....... LOL!
