Morning Workout VS Afternoon Workout

Now that my husband is back, and not doing a regular Army schedule, he has decided to join me doing T-25. The only time that works for us is at 5:30a, while all 3 of our kids are asleep. I am VERY excited he has joined me, as this pushes me to not give up, BUT I feel I am not able to give it my all because of it!
Usually, I workout just before noon or a little after, depending on when my toddler finally falls asleep. I've already had a light breakfast and coffee by this point so I am energized and ready to give it my all. If my daughter's nap is long enough, I'll add some treadmill time or some "amateur weightlifting" to my routine.
Found this cute little bench set with bars and weights included for $65 on Next Door!

These past 2 days (AH, it feels like forever!!) have been such a drag, my throat is super dry even after drinking water, my knees feel tight to where I am not able to jump, and I can't control my breathing as good. I am getting sick, so maybe that's why I feel I can't breathe.
I definitely do not want to give up. I may adjust to where I can add a 2nd workout on my usual time or my husband suggested a pre-workout supplement. I am a bit scared of taking something like that on an empty stomach, but I am willing to try! I am not willing to wake up earlier though!! But I should to stretch out some. We will see how the rest of the week goes!

Skinny Fat to Fit Diaries: T25 and Keto UPDATE

Image
So, it has been a few weeks since I checked in with my T25 progress and Ketogenic Diet updates. I'm happy to report I AM STILL on track to finish T25 this week, as I also celebrate my one-month-anniversary on the Keto Diet!! Week 1 & 2 of the Keto Diet, my energy was down. I was so tired. I could not successfully keep up with just T25. Where I was adding treadmill or weight time after T25 some days pre-Keto, I just did NOT have the stamina to do it. I honestly thought I was burned out and wouldn't be able to finish T25. The 3rd week though, it was like a new burst of energy came over me. I was killing these workouts!! I did slack a tiny bit on T25. July 4th week, my 3rd week on Keto, I skipped my T25 for the 4th and the following day- you know, just spending time with my family instead. And because Fridays are my double T25 days, I didn't add those workouts back in. Week 4 on Keto (the following week, which is also this past week) I felt I had even more energy! I

Before/After T25 pictures (Results)

Guess who completed T25 this past week! And it only took 10 weeks!!! You know... the actual length of time T25 is. I wanted to record my before and after T25 pictures and stats because I think it is AMAZING!! Also, keeping in mind that 5 weeks into T25, I started the Keto diet. I am wearing the same pants, which I haven't worn in a while, because honestly, it is HOT here and I need to be in shorts. Also, they shift a lot during my workouts because they are too loose now!! I find myself pulling them up often.  I'd also like to point out, these are a size Medium. 8-10. All of my workout clothes is older and a size small-ish. I bought these after having my daughter because I didn't want to bring myself down further by trying to squeeze into these size small workout clothes. That would have set me up for failure! But now, it is a great measuring point, popping out "muffin-like" to having to pull them up!! What is my weight looking like? Well, take a loo

Kids Summer Schedule with Spanish Worksheets

Image
That bittersweet time of the year has come! The one where you're happy to not HAVE to wake up early, but where you now have kids to entertain ALL DAY! I usually have the kids do some schoolwork in the summer. I feel like it sets a schedule so their days aren't mush, and also gives them some knowledge so they don't return to school completely clueless. Now, I am definitely NOT one of those moms that has their stuff together, if you know what I mean, so my schedule isn't completely structured. It kind of starts when I'm done with my breakfast/ coffee/ scrolling social media. Bedtime? If we don't have anywhere to be the next day, then I don't care what time they go to bed, as long as it's before midnight. These kids still worked hard all year, so I'm not going to keep them on a 8-3 school work schedule. Not to mention, I have told them they will be doing a summer sport too. My 11 year old is doing soccer, while my 7 year old will try out gymnastics (
