This weekend will be full of excercise and fun. Oh and I'm looking into running for Mrs. Spokane deadline is November 2012!!  We'll see it may be in the cards!!!

Now time with my honey, have a good night!!!!

Lunch Time

Babies down for a nap and it's time for me to do some stretching and then take a much needed nap also :-)

12/29/2011 Good Morning

Good Morning!! It's sunny and nice here in Spokane. The girls woke up being loud and obnoxious once again but we're going to try something new. We'll go outside today!!! WooHoo!!! The sun is shining and we'll go for a walk!!


I have been struggling a lot during the holidays with SWEETS, yes my weakness is chocolate!! But after a great workout last night I woke up a bit sore and not willing to sabotage myself, so I had yogurt and granola with my coffee while the girls had there raisin bran! I don't let them eat sugary cereals and they love raisin bran and grape nuts so I won't break them of that by offering processed sugared cereals :)


We'll keep you updated......

End of my first day blogging..... so today was an eventful one with the girls, they really did not want to listen!! It is definantly a test of my patience when they back talk me and don't listen but they are testing the waters to see if I let them get away with it. Not going to happen!! Once my wonderful husband got home I got the chance to go to the YMCA to get moving!! Yes a bit of stress relief for the long day I had!!

Workout for 12/28/11

15min warm up

11min mile on the elliptical

Switched to the treadmill

33mins & 3miles on the treadmill

Switched back to elliptical

10min mile on elliptical

10min cool down

This is really the first in the past few weeks I have gone over 2 miles :) So very exciting!!! Starting Saturday morning Bret and I will be starting an 8 week workout series at home together!! This will be my interval training on top of the running and cycling I will be doing. I will keep you updated on how I like this program. It's called "X-Factor: ST by Weider" Included is a Yoga DVD which I will start doing at night as a final cool down from all the training during the day, and running around with the little ones. 

Until TOMORROW!! 

The Start of Something Great!!

This is my very first BLOG ever!! I will start off by saying this was Runners Worlds recommendation... so if I'm not very good at this please humor me :) This will be my portal to the real world, the world of the working class!! Yes I'm talking about my running partner and sister at heart Bekah (Love you girl) This will be my way of making myself accountable for my daily activity, and the potential insanity I may experience with having four beautiful little ladies with me all DAY!!

So to give those of you a run down, yes it will be a sprinting one..... hehe!! I'm a newlywed and my wonderful husband took on 5 ladies, yes me, a 9 year old, 5 year old, 4 year old and a 3 year old and yes all girls!!! Now you see why my blog is called Mommy Madness!! We all experience some sort of madness when you have children but have any of you experiences 4 girls 24 hours a day? 

I did my first Half marathon a few months back, did it in 2:14!!! It rocked but was very difficult, very hilly and to make those of you know the nightmare I experienced was at the 9 mile mark.... DOOMSDAY HILL! My next half is scheduled for March 3, 2012 this is the SNAKE RIVER HALF! My goal for this one is 2:00, this one will be an out and back one, all flat.

So yes like many of you I have not followed one bit of my training or healthy eating over the holiday, I am very sad to say I've gained 10lbs and haven't done any running, unless chasing after little ones counts. So my training starts again from the begginning, but my future posts will be a day to day activity schedule of what I have done each and everyday upuntil the day of the half...... moving into the day of the FULL MARATHON which is in May 2012.

So to my family and friends cheer me on as I start this journey to become a wonderful house wife, mom, and completing a MARATHON with Team Lancaster!!!

Love to you all!!!
