FAIL!!

Late June 2nd Post I already messed up. This is what I get for sleeping so late. I tend to write before I go to bed and of course I don't sleep until after 1am. Sooo...since this is posting at a little after 12:30am I am going to count this as Day 2, then post again tonight for Day 3. Then on Wednesday the 4th we will have blog post #4.

I didn't go to the gym tonight. It is my rest night. Plus I am just exhausted. I needed a break tonight. I had a great leg workout yesterday and am really feeling it tonight. But it hurts solo good.

I started my June class today as well. It is a lot of work this time around. The crazy in me volunteered to do all my presentations next week. That means no slacking off!

Will post again later :)

June 3rd Post I am def horrible at sticking with challenges.

Well, I missed the gym second night in a row. We are trying to conserve gas too. With hubby going to school, play dates, errands and such...gas is def digging a big hole in our pockets.

On the plus side, hubby did have an interview this morning at 8am and it is looking positive. He said it went by rather quickly and that they just need his background cleared and he is a go for the job. I pray this is the one! We really need this.

That is pretty much what happened today. I will try to be more interesting, promise!

A Blog Post a Day in June

Hello June! I cannot believe we are through half the year! 6 more months until 2015, I turn 30 and Oliver turns 1! Today we started off the last 6 months with a good work out. Hubby and I went to Miramar College where he went through the Police Academy obstacle course a few times and then afterwards we went to the gym. I got in a good leg workout today.

I am going to challenge myself this month and workout hard, every day except Sundays. I also start my new class tomorrow evening. This past class was alright, I hope I keep my A! We shall see.

This is my first blog post of the month. I am also going to attempt posting once a day every day for the month of June.

Hopefully I stick to my challenges :)

My Life...

My husband is my soulmate and my boys are my heart...the three of them are my world. I am not perfect, I am not a perfect Mother nor a perfect wife. I am me...perfectly imperfect and I love my perfectly imperfect life.

xoxo

Let the journey begin...

When I was pregnant with my oldest son in 2012, I told myself that after I give birth it is Project MILF time. This time around...now that my youngest is almost 4 months old, it is Project FitMom. Is there difference? To me there is.

What is the difference? Well, MILF according to Urban Dictionary is pretty much a Mother who is sexually desirable. For me, FitMom is everything from being healthy, beautiful inside and out, fit, strong, sexy, confident and happy.

Project FitMom is my journey. I am not doing it for anyone but myself, my children and my husband. I want to be able to see my boys become the great men they are meant to be and have children of their own. I want to celebrate 50 years of marriage with my husband. I want to look in the mirror and not feel disgusted with myself. I want to run with my babies and keep up with them. I want to feel strong and confident.

This is a lifestyle change for me and I am determined to reach my goals. There is another goal I know I will reach, but I will keep it to myself for now and when I am ready to share it, it will have its own post.

I am also at the point in my life where I really could care less about what people think and say about me. I used to care so much about what people thought about me. Now, I do not care. I have to not care because if I do care then I am not living my life. This is my life. My life with my boys and husband. Peoples opinions of me are none of my business. I have my own values and my own goals. People who make fun of them...well, they can just suck it. I have been laughed at by people for what I believe in and what I have done. Sometimes I think back and shake my head because I let it get to me. No more.

This is also NOT a competition with anyone. This is a competition with myself. I will push myself to the limit and I will go beyond what I am capable of doing. This is my challenge.

I am 29 years old, a Mother to two beautiful boys, wife to a wonderful husband, a college graduate, a student studying for her Masters, a woman who knows what she wants out of life and will do what ever it takes to achieve her personal goals and live life with a happy heart filled with love.

Closing a chapter in my book of life and starting a new one. Fresh pages to create amazing memories. Let the journey begin...

04.02.2014 - Three Months

Last day of March

Hubby left Oregon early this morning and is now driving through Stockton, CA. He will most likely be here early tomorrow morning. His goal was to make it to San Diego by 10pm, definitely unrealistic considering he is driving a U-haul, food, bathroom breaks and gas are a must. I am just happy he will finally be here and our little family will be whole.

JJ has hit the terrible 2's and it is REAL. Hubby is in for a surprise. HAHAHA! I cannot wait for him to be with the boys and see how much they have changed. JJ is growing up and Oliver is getting big so fast. I love my babies so much. They are my whole world and this time I have with them as a stay-at-home Mom (SAHM_ is priceless. I would not change it for the world. I am thankful to be able to be with my babies every day, all day. I have been a lucky to have been with JJ everyday for the past two years. I am dreading the day I will have to go back to work. For now...I cherish every moment.

Tomorrow is the first day of April and I am going to attempt VEDA (video/vlog every day in April). Hopefully I can do it. I am shy though. HAHAHA! It may not seem like it but it is true.

Until tomorrow...

xoxo

Let the fun begin...

Yesterday, March 30th, JJ turned 2 years old! I still cannot believe I have a 2 year old. My little big boy is growing up so fast. In a few days Oliver will be turning 3 months. They need to slow down. It is true when they say they grow up so fast.

We threw JJ a birthday bash and it was a fun turn out. I will post pictures once I get them from Nana.

I am officially on a three month break from school. Yep, this Momma is now just a full time SAHM. It is a much needed break and I am looking forward to not having to make any assignment deadlines.

I am going to take this break and focus on my family, myself and get this blog up and running. I need to share it with the world. Hahaha. Well, not really. But it would be fun to get it out there. I have also been way, wayyy, wayyyyy behind on Project Life, journaling, and everything in between. I have three months to get everything organized and up to date.

Hubby is all packed up and ready to leave Oregon for good. He was packed and out of the apartment by Saturday evening and spent all of Sunday with his family in Salem. In a few hours he will be making the journey back down to San Diego where we will be reunited. I cannot wait to have my husband back and for the boys to have their Daddy. Finally, we will be a family again. Long distance is hard, not only for the boys and me, but also for him. He has missed out on so much. I cannot wait.

I am going to start my fitness journey and get vlogging going as well. We shall see if my plans pan out. HA! Stay tuned...

January 3rd, 2014 - Big brother meets baby brother <3

Nana, JJ and Ninong came by for a visit! It was the first time JJ has seen his baby brother. I was not really surprised at JJ's reaction because JJ is such an awesome little boy. He came in smiling, called me Mama and gave me so much loving. It was amazing. He smiled at his baby brother and when Oliver cried he would just smile. Best babies ever. I love my boys soooo much!

Welcome Baby!!

Early this morning at 1:05a Oliver Bruce Miller graced us with his beautiful presence via an emergency c-section.


He is absolutely beautiful!! He also shares his birthday with auntie Megz & auntie Alpha.

The story!

Wednesday evening after the family left I started feeling pressure down there. But the kind of pressure as if I needed to go #2. It was off and on for a while. This started probably around 7ish PM.

Then around 9:30ish I started keeping track of contractions. I did call the triage nurse first and asked questions. The pressure then became very painful.

I used an app on my iPhone to keep track of my contractions. They were 3.5 minutes apart and extremely painful! We left for the hospital and arrived btwn 10-10:30p. I was checked in by 11p and was only 1cm dilated. My blood pressure was so high to the point where within that hour I was prepped for surgery and Oliver was pulled out at 1:05am.















He looks like JJ!! Hubby got to cut the umbilical cord and Oliver was born at 8lbs 1.6oz and 20 inches long.

He has a good pair of lungs and when they showed him to me he was pee'ing. LOL!! That's my boy!

Today was amazing. To finally hold my youngest son melted my heart. I love him and his big brother soooo much and equally.

More pictures to come in my next post!
