The Journey has Begun

OK bloggers here we go. About 6 weeks ago I started a fitness program in my town. The place is called Maximum Fitness http://www.maxfitstudio.com/ and he offers a program called Bootcamp. So anytime I blog about Bootcamp this is the place.

At first I though omg what am I getting my self into. I was kinda scared cause when I hear bootcamp I think yelling and military style workouts. Well I went for my orientation, I got weighed and measured. Then Kyle (the owner of Maximum Fitness) comes in and tells us about the program. He goes over food and what he expects from us. Then he wants us to try out a few workouts. NOW I am a stay at home mom of a now 20 month old little boy. We normally stay inside and chill in the house. The most exercise that I get is chasing his cute little butt around the house. OK back to the workouts. He wants us to hold a squat for a min. ONE MINUTE OMG I dont think I could old one for 10 seconds. But I DID and boy did my legs shake. I thought ok that really wasn't that bad. He shows us a few more things then we head to the local grocery store where he shows us where all the healthy food he wants us to eat is And then everyone heads home.

I feel great the rest of that saturday untill SUNDAY. And let me just say OUCH. Thats right I was so sore all day Sunday and Monday morning. My new best friend at this point was IcyHot. I think I went through a whole tub rubbing it on my legs for they were sore.

2 weeks..

Over the past two week we've been busy around the Rothman house. On Oct 8 me and Lucas attended the Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure Breast Cancer Walk. he fell asleep once we got walking. I on the other hand had a great walk. Normally in the past years of walking this i would always get tired, my legs would always get sore, but after starting my new fitness plan, i was feeling awsome. writters block.... will write more

Training for the Potty...

So today is day 2 of official Potty training. We are trying to go every 30 mins to an hour. It seems to be working so far. We have toys & books in the bathroom. I have to keep his attention some how. If not he is over trying to turn the water on in the tub and get in. Ive never seen someone who wants to spend that much time in the tub, LOL. Below are some of the pictures from today. In his pullup, drinking juice/water, & playing and sitting on his potty.
