Healthy Mommy Pledge (Repost)



By signing this pledge, I promise to abide by the Healthy Mommy guidelines as listed below:

* If I wouldn't let my children eat it, I won't eat it myself.
This includes cigarettes! Alcohol, in moderation for special occasions is okay.

* I will exercise at least 30 minutes each day.
Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy! :o)))
(Exercise = Anything that gets your heart pumping!)

* I will not talk bad about my body, especially in front of my children.
Not only does talking bad about your body hurt yourself, it can teach your
children to do the same thing to themselves!

* I will encourage & support other Healthy Mommies
Comment on each others' blogs, post tips, share information, etc.

Arms = Jello

My arms are sooo super jello today!
I was invited to do a
BATTLE OF THE SEXES EXTREME PUSH UP CHALLENGE
on Facebook by Coach Anna Gray
She is my "soon to be" Beach Body coach once I get my P90X system.
If you are up to the challenge...JOIN IN!!!
I love having online support even when it comes to fitness...it definitely gives me that extra push when no one is looking!
I really didn't think I'd be able to do 200 push ups in a day!
I'm not even going to lie...the last 30 where on my knees & I barely got them out...but I DID IT!
My arms are sooo dead tired...really my entire core hurts...but it's that good, I feel strong kinda hurt!
After losing all my weight, I was determined to get some muscles this year...so I'm still well on my way...but I will do it!
If I can lose 80 lbs in a year after 2 pregnancies & c-sections back to back!
Which you can read about here!
I can & will do 6,000 push ups in a month!!!
I broke it down to 25/hour for 8 hours so it's completely attainable for me!
I'm so committed to doing this for myself that my alarm on my phone goes off every hour for 8 hours for the rest of the month so I don't forget amongst my normal everyday routines!
I'm will take some before bicep pictures & after so I can see how much my arms change!
I BETTER HAVE SOME SERIOUS GUNS AFTER THIS!!!

Pandamonium

Here is it...I'd guess it took me about 4-6 hours of actually working on it in the last 2 days!
This new Skully is up for grabs!!!
That's right...
MY VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY
My son will be 3 soon & it fits him a little loose so depending on the size head...I'm guessing it will fit a child anywhere from 2-5.
It does stretch!
Care: machine wash cool on gentle cycle; tumble dry; do not bleach & do not iron.
It will be softer after the first wash & since it's my first one, I cannot guarantee the ears will be quite as perky!
If you would like to win my very first "Pandamonium" Skully (Pattern created by Yours Truly)
You must be a follower of my blog (if you don't have a blog you must be a fan of Skull Stitches on Facebook) & leave some love on this blog so I know to enter you.
Winner will be randomly selected on:
June 1, 2010 @ 10pm
So everyone who's away for vacation on this wonderful weekend has time to actually enter!
Please feel free to share this blog with your friends.
What a great way to start the new month!!!

My next endeavor is to make my son a Spiderman Skully...he is obsessed with Spiderman & his birthday is June 21 so I figured it would be a perfect present! :o)))
