Workout schedule and equipment

I get a lot of questions about what workouts I do so I want to answer that here! I live in a small, small town and the one gym I know of is 15-20 minutes away.  That doesn't fit in my schedule, it doesn't make my wallet happy, and I don't like going to the gym anyway!  I knew when I started this journey that I would bring equipment to my home and I would use stuff I already have here like MY OWN BODY.  I do cardio Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I do calisthenics and weights on Monday and Wednesday, Saturday is my weigh in day and day off, and then Sunday is just whatever I feel like.  I do cardio for no less than 30 minutes at a time and that could be on the stationary bike, the treadmill, going up and down my driveway, or my personal favorite, doing Just Dance on the Wii!  I dread working out UNLESS it is Just Dance AND, my kids and my husband have both joined in on Just Dance so that makes it even more fun.  Calisthenics include push ups and sit ups of course and then I add in stretches, leg lifts, planks, donkey kicks, etc.  I have hand weights I used to always use but now I use the bowflex to really work my back and arms. I am very consistent with this but on the other hand, there have been the few exceptions such as I don't feel good or I have a busy night and then I don't workout at all.  I will post pictures below of my equipment except the treadmill because I don't have a picture, I don't remember the brand to look it up, and its just going to be your personal preference.

Happy anniversary

Josh is the kind of guy that you know the ladies look at but he doesn't know that.  He doesn't talk some  big game and when he was trying to win me over, he didn't use lines and sexual harassment to do it.  He has big thoughts but isn't one to tell you he is right and you are wrong; he likes digging into things and finding out WHY.  He has the biggest smile and when he gets excited about something he does little jigs or waves his hands in the air.  Josh cares what people think of him so I like to think that one of my purposes here is to teach him not to or at least care a little less (we are getting there.)  I stare at him A LOT, I love when he wears his hat backwards, he makes a simple white t-shirt look sexy as hell, and his lips are soo soft.  He makes me really mad a lot of the time but at the end of the day, I wouldn't trade him for the world. Josh is unbelievably handsome  a hard worker always willing to help others a j...

It's the most wonderful time of the year

November 1st means CHRISTMAS DECORATING!!! I love everything about Christmas.  I especially love the lights and the music so I put lights all over the inside of my house while listening to Mariah Carey in the background.  My favorite is waking up before everybody (maybe not Evie) and the only light being the Christmas tree; its magical.  Then of course comes the first snow and this year it was a little more special because I get to see it all through Evie's eyes.  Although she calls everything a snowman (she is confused and I can't wait for her to really see a snowman) she is so EXCITED about it all.  When I turned on the Christmas lights she squealed and cheered because last year she was just too little to really care or get it.  Then, when I turned on the carousel that plays Christmas songs, she got the biggest smile on her face and stood up clapping and dancing, and then yesterday, as the snow fell and covered the ground, she would get up every so often ...
