Week 4 Kosama and other Updates :)

Ok... so I have officially completed week 4 of my Kosama challenge..... its going well! I still really like it. I work really hard the hour long workout..... and I've been doing my best to eat better and to drink lots more H20. I have to say its been a little hard with things like this staring me in the face.......

mmmm have u tried these kettle cooked sea salt and cracked pepper chips?!
SOOOOOOOO GOOD (and so very bad at the same time)

But I'm doing it. The Kosama instructors sent out emails talking about becoming an "alumni". Which basically means you sign on to stay another 8 weeks or longer.... I have to say I would really like to stay on for another 8 week session... but I just don't see it happening ($$$$). I can definitely see changes in my physical body... as well as just feeling better in general. My only drawback (besides the cost) is that I could easily go to bed at 8:00 pm every night.... getting up at 4:30 am 5 days out of the week (and 5:45 am on Saturday) I am exhausted by the time the boys' bedtime gets here. I do feel like I have more energy during the day... as long as I keep motivated and moving. If I sit and cuddle for too long........ I am ready for a nap! My initial thinking for doing the early session is to get it done and out of the way for the day. I don't have to worry about finding a sitter for the boys...or taking time away from family once JDub is home from work..... but I have been waking JDub up earlier, and I'm just too tired to stay up late. I'd love to see how another 8 weeks could really improve my physical appearance more though.

check out these guns!!! ask to feel them in person too.. they are solid! :)

Another thing that was really draining this week was the food poisoning I endured last Sunday... and into Monday... UGH. I mean at least it wasn't the stomach flu... but it was still pretty bad. Here's the kicker too....... I ate a salad and fruit for lunch that day.... and that's what got me sick?! Seriously?! Poor JDub had to stay home on Monday b/c after puking (and other things) my guts out all day Sunday I couldn't handle dealing with the boys by myself. Once again even though it sucked... I am blessed to have a nice hubby who stayed home with the boys while I rested. After weighing myself on Monday and being pretty excited with the result (I weighed less than my husband for once.....) JDub declared "See you didn't need these fancy workouts after all....." Yea apparently I just needed to get food poisoning...... haha....

In other news.......
I officially registered Bubba for preschool in the fall! Its hard to believe he will be 4 in August. I have to admit I am a little excited for him to go though. Not only for his socialization and structure, but for a little more one-on-one time with Ceej. He will be 2 here soon!!

Ugh.. the dreaded potty-training.... Ceej has managed to take an interest in the potty.... sometimes... He has in fact pooped on the potty (just once) and he pees pretty much daily on it as well. It is, however, not consistent, and pretty much at the most inconvenient time (while I'm cooking) that he wants to go "paah paah" as he calls it. Ceej refuses to wear a pull up... so I find myself trying to pull the diaper down and back up while trying to adjust it correctly and not rip it apart while he wants to sit on the potty and stand to get dressed... to only want to sit on the potty again the instant I have him re-dressed. He usually goes through this routine (of de-pantsing, getting dressed, getting naked, getting dressed, getting naked, getting dressed) at least 4 times (and sometimes more!) until he feels he is "finished" going. I say "finished" because most of the times he sits nothing comes out or its only a few tiny drops of pee and then he proceeds to flush. I keep telling him he can't flush until he fully goes potty... but that just makes him throw a tantrum! But alas, there are actual times that he sits and truly lets it all out and he's very proud. He's not 2 until April (Bubba was wearing underwear the whole day on his 2nd birthday) so I am not pushing the whole potty thing... but hey if he's showing interest I will entertain it for the most part :)

JDub has informed me that I am "out of control" with the amount of clothes I have... I know... its bad... I'm fully admitting it... but.... and yes there is always a "but"........ I really like re-doing clothes! I don't want to throw away any scraps I might be able to make something out of later! I keep trying to tell him I need to just organize everything and it would be so much better. So any volunteers? I want to take a trip to the Container Store or IKEA again and get something figured out....... cause I love crafting but JDub is fed up with it being EVERYWHERE.

I did get rid of 2 plastic grocery sacks worth of clothes to goodwill today :) So its a start.... I have some cute monkey pants I don't ever wear any more that I am going to try and turn into matching pj pants for the boys. Hopefully I'll have a post on that soon. Who's excited for the Super Bowl tonight?! (And by Super Bowl I really mean the commercials!!) All the yummy food is going to make me pay tomorrow though!!!
