Poop! Darn you yummy delicious superbowl foods! That and cookies.. and um maybe a pizza night or two. This too shall pass. It has to. I said so. Plus I joined a squat challenge that is showing me just how out of shape I am. Sure I squat when I milk cows but that's a squat, walk, talk, pet, scratch an ear, squat.. swat a nose away from my butt crack.. Not really a squat, squat, squat and go for 30! *smacking head*
I'm realizing day by day I need to get back to the gym. I need to start working out. Since the gym is out until I stop nursing due to time at work I need to start working out at home. So the squat challenge is good. Now all I need are some arm workouts.. some more leg workouts.. some ab workouts.. and a perky boob workout. Ok the last one may be a lost cause but I'm not giving up hope yet. I should.. but I'm way too dillusional.
This morning my big guy decided to throw one of those 2 yr old tantrum dead weight I don't wanna wiggle moves. OMG It took all I had to get the lil buggers jacket on. Just a few months ago I could have picked up the lil wiggle worm by the seat of his pants and viola problem/tantrum mute. Now? Uh uh. I pulled in the big guns. I called the muscle. I called daddy. I've never seen a halo appear so fast in my entire life. Lil bugger. I need my momma strength back. I need to go toss some hay bales. I need gigantic oh no you didn't because I'm bigger than you strength so I can wrestle on boots and jackets and hats to the whiney butt declaring he doesn't want to go to the sitter. Or my personal favorite NO PANTS!! followed by olympic type running and flips and jumps through the house to the floor under the dining room table.
I'm getting my strength back. I don't care if I have to do random binder bicep curles in my cube. Today.. its the squat challenge so I can manage the stairs into the house while holding a 30 lb toddler and a 40 lb baby/carseat/blanket galore against the blizzard getup. Tomorrow? It's a pushup challenge to assist in the seat of the pant grabbing oh no you're not attempts to run.

Seriously do some yoga sequences. You can hit most muscles and relax at the same time. You can do it on the livingroom floor, locked in the bathroom, under the kitchen table, balanced one leg on either side of the babygate, pretty much anywhere any time. My kids laugh their butts off watching me and actually know and can do most poses( how much does that make me feel like a schmuck that my 5 year old does a better tree than I?)5 mins here and there will make a difference.
BTW if you ever find that perky boob workout I am so on board( I nursed 6 kids lol)

Nicholaix, where would I find those types of yoga sequences? Yoga intimidates me because I am so out of shape but I could do it alone for sure!

Oh I'm with you! I have gotten out of shape over the holidays with little bits of exercise here and there, eating out too much, and just too much junk every day in general. At least I don't have a toddler to wrangle, but I too need to get my strength back. I found an app on my phone that has workouts ranging anywhere from 2 minutes to over an hour, so I'm trying to make myself do one of those when I can, because I should have time to do a 10 minute leg workout. Good luck to us all!!

Here was my solution back in early 80's. Use my baby for a weight. Leg lifts-- baby on lower legs-- lay on floor do low leg lifts; baby supported on lower legs=smiles and giggles. Abs straight leg raises same way, hold baby in lower legs. Lots of arm rises holding baby. Babies love the movement and smile and giggle. I just used whatever worked... it was fun for all..great fun for a fussy baby.

I wonder if the baby workouts would work with Jason. Right now I can't even cook because he's a short hairs on the back of your neck grabber. It seems to be his go to. Wait??? You're not completely into me??? Here let me grab your attention. Looooook at me!!! Yup.. that's him.

Ouch!!!! put on some music and give it a try. It used to help break up one of those fussy cycles the tiny ones get into.
