Mommyland Happenings {Volume 10}

14 Mar

I struggled with motivation again last week but it wasn’t all bad. I started running again and I put a plan in motion to get my eating back on track.

Sunday.

happenings

I can be kind of an asshole sometimes. In my defense, I did need to get to work and this family didn’t speak Starbuckese and they ordered food as well as drinks.

I grabbed my triple Venti before they were even finished ordering.

Monday.

happenings

Poor Cooper was long overdue for a haircut. He got lucky this week when I called to make his appointment and they said they could take him right away.

I think he looks like a puppy now.

Tuesday.

happenings

I really enjoy my Yogi teas and their inspirational sayings. As I sipped my bedtime tea, this is what it was telling me.

This is definitely something I need to work or…especially with the kids.

Wednesday.

happenings

Along with replacing one meal a day with a shake I’ve started using these Meal Prep Haven cups. Bill ordered them as a little surprise for me and I have to say I really like them.

I think I’m going to do a little review of them in the coming weeks so stay tuned.

Thursday.

happenings

My first run since February and my longest run since, wait for it, May 27th. I have a half marathon coming up in early April so I think it’s about time I get my ass in gear.

Friday.

happenings

Why can’t I be one of those runners who finishes a run looking awesome? I look like I’ve been to hell and back. No, I was not being dragged behind a bus.

It has been much warmer than it should be for early March so maybe I need to get acclimated to the temperature.

Saturday.

happenings

Cooper has been working hard on his off the leash training this week. For the most part he’s been a good boy. We worked on The Mommyland Farm Saturday and I let him hangout with us while we worked. I think all that fresh air wore him out.

Another week in the books!

This week promises to be a challenge since the boys have four days of half days, but all my hard work will be rewarded with Spring Break at the end of it.

I hope you have a fantastic week!

30 Day Mommyland Plank Challenge

31 Jan

Continuing with our fitness challenges we’re going to work our entire body by doing 30 days of planks!

Tomorrow we’ll start with a 20 second plank and by the beginning of March we’ll be planking for five minutes. FIVE MINUTES!!!

We CAN do this!

Planks are great for your core but they are also great for your glutes and hamstrings and they help with flexibility, balance and posture too.

If you’re not sure how to do a proper plank I’ve prepared this handy dandy image for you.

30 Day Plank Challenge

Just like last month’s 30 Day Squat Challenge I’ve taken the liberty of creating a printable calendar so you can keep track of all your hard work. Each day you’ll see how long (in seconds) you need to plank for and I will also be posting the day’s workout on the Mommyland Facebook page each day at 6AM eastern.

All you need to do is click on the calendar above and print the PDF.

If you’re an iPhone user you may have noticed that there are no seconds on the timer. I’ve found a good timer app that works in hours, minutes and seconds. Timer+ will give you a good countdown for your planks.

Last month I told you you could break your squats up throughout the day, this month I want you to do your planks in their entirety each day, don’t break them up into smaller bits and pieces.

I know it sounds daunting once you get past to two minute mark but you can do it! We’re going to gradually work up to our final goal of five minutes so we’ll be getting a little stronger everyday.

Good luck and keep in touch to let me know how you’re doing.
