Mommy Without a Pause @mommywithoutapause - Tumblr Blog

Don't forget to have fun with your workouts. A big part of how I get through struggling is through laughter. A little wiggle and a giggle. During my online classes I always want members to enjoy our time together. If anyone needs to stop, don't just sit there in defeat....start dancing. It is still cardio!!! #thickandfit https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwOVGqJzrK/?igshid=1v0ffm3ykfbbl

My beauties at the #bubblerun. It was Lady L's first 5K! They killed it and completed it all on their own 😍 (at Bubble Run) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3EkFqNpdUL/?igshid=lnsluhcps1eq

So proud of my @ilovekickboxing_bronx_ny team for finishing the Spartan Race @citifield! What an amazing experience. Everyone was so encouraging and supportive. I never could have imagined one day calling myself a Spartan. Aroo!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BwQBPnpJll5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e26rf19djhuu

I finally did it. I signed up for my first @spartan race for April with hubby and my @ilovekickboxing crew. I'm feeling happy and nervous. I've always felt like a Spartan race is more challenging or more elite. I'm nervous because I don't know if I'm there yet. I've done obstacle races before and regular 5Ks but its but I always have this nagging doubt. This is a "stadion" race so still like a sprint. The Spartan races have levels 1.Sprint (3+ miles, 20+ obstacles), 2. Super (8+ miles, 25+ obstacles) 3. Beast (13+ miles, 30+ obstacles) 4. Ultra (26+ miles, 60+ obstacles – one of two marathon obstacle courses along with Mudderthon). You get a piece of a medallion that links to each other to make a "Trifecta" if you do them all in one year. So to start my training I'm doing stairs at work. From basement to the top floor. So far it took me 19+ min to do it 3 times. I'm working on my stamina and breathing pattern. I've also started jogging again at the gym. I'm back at a 15min mile. I have 77days to improve myself. Fingers crossed! https://www.instagram.com/p/BtEjMPCnV13/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z25bwp5pr87d

My latest hobby has been decorating my planner. I'm practicing my hand lettering and calligraphy too. It's a nice way to pass the time and bring some much needed creativity back into the fold.

So I really love cake made from the box but where can I buy just a slice? Like do I really have to commit to 2600 calories just because I want a taste of cake? Asking for a friend. LoL

My warrior princess on her 3rd birthday. Her beauty and her strength are incomparable. This little girl has more personality than I’ve ever seen in a child so young. She is funny, smart and sweet. I’m so glad she is in our lives.

Life in a nutshell.

Fuck I've been so occupied this year that I've hardly posted any of the momentous events. I started feeling I had to stop posting family pictures on FB. Idk, I'm tired of seeing everyone else's mundane photos so I didn't post any of mine. But this year really kicked ass. This week I plan on going to my computer and blasting photos on here. My babies are growing and I want to look back one day and remember that sparkle.

Long time no see. It seems my blog posts for this site are long far between. As crazy as life can be we still managed to put the family together for a Wreck-it Ralph Halloween family costume. 2017 is almost over and I wish I blogged more. My little babes are growing and personalities are changing. I hope for more posts to come as I re-center myself before the new year.

Thanks to my little photographer I got a shot of me @ilovekickboxing_the_bronx. This workout makes me SWEAT! 500cal in one hour guaranteed. It's nice to see how my form is going. I'll try to kick higher next time. Thanks to hubby I'm able to go once a week early in the morning and he takes over kiddie drop off. @ilovekickboxing . . #fightforit #nevergiveupneversurrender #canihavesomefrieswiththatshake #momoftwo #maketimeforfitness #momlife #motivation #fitmom #fitspo #fckbeingfat #cantstopwontstop #busymom #igfitmom #healthylifestyle #lifestylechange #exercise #instafit #fitfam #fitchick #fitgirls #girlswholift #mom #mommylife #polarwatch #thisbody #thickandfit #hourglass (at ILoveKickboxing - Bronx, NY)

How could I forget to post this here?. . . Hello long lost friends! It may have taken 4years but goal #2 has been accomplished. I have entered #onederland. Goal #1 was to run along with my husband. It took a lot of hard work, long nights, managing babysitters, a supportive family, quite a few injuries, learning what healthy food is and a shitload of exercise and I'm finally here. It feels so good knowing the sacrifices I have been making in my sleep and social life were really worth it. 😁 . . I definitely doubted myself more than a few times and had plenty of setbacks. When I started this journey in July of 2013 I had a hard time walking and that was without injuries. My asthma was poorly controlled with me getting multiple asthma attacks daily. I was always being told people could hear me breathing even if I was only standing near them. I seriously felt like my body was declining. I dreaded bringing my son to the park because it hurt to chase him. My BMI has gone from 41.5 which is considered morbidly obese to 32.2 which is just a few points from being just overweight. I'll be doing measurements tomorrow to have the reference. I'm so excited! 😁 . . I love the person I am becoming. I want to be that role model for my children. They ask for water not juice or syrup laden milk when they are thirsty. They will grow up running and active. No one is perfect but I'm happy we're giving them a good start. BTW the pic on the left is a bit blurred but that's because I hardly ever took full length photos. My self esteem has never been high but I didn't want to see what was happening to my body. I'm still working on the mental but at least the physical aspect has improved. I believe I'm adding years to my life. I will be able to see my grandchildren a little older and hug my husband longer.❤❤❤ On to the next goal!!
