Today is Day 1 of P90X. I got my resistance bands ready to go this time so will be doing this work out withe the bands and NOT with the pull up bar. I may invest in a pull up bar sometime soon but they say you can get great results with the resistant bands so here we go. I bought these $9.99 bands and they…

Quitting cold turkey is the only way in my opinion!

My post

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2011/01/quitting-pacifier-cold-turkey.html

Today is the day. It is the day I force my son to quit the pacifier aka "binky" cold turkey.

His last tooth (besides his 2 year molars) has come through this week so his teething days are pretty much over. Now he just uses the binky as pure addiction and I am sick…

NOT giving in and letting tradiiton keep me away from positive change!

My post

http://tawnassecret.blogspot.com/2011/01/tradition-is-not-always-best-excuse.html

I have found that there have been many times in my past and present that I use the excuse of "tradition" to dictate my daily life. This is something that I am desperately trying to change while entering in to my life of positive…

My post

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2011/01/interstim-update-50-days-out.html

It has been 50 days since my stage 2 InterStim surgery and today something really weird happened. Not bad but weird.

I have turned it up quite a bit over the past 50 days and it has been at a consistent 4.0 for about 2 weeks now. I could feel…

I think my work out made my InterStim act up a bit!

My post

http://tawnasplan.blogspot.com/2011/01/jogging-stairs-and-plank-today.html

Today's work out consisted of 20 minutes of jogging in place, 6 times running up and down the stairs to the basement and my updated plank position 3 times. I had some issues with my InsterStim a few hours later with some muscle cramping and am now wondering if I maybe over did it a bit. I felt so…

Keeping the brain busy can mean more weight loss for me!

My post

http://tawnasplan.blogspot.com/2011/01/working-out-instead-of-snacking-between.html

I don't agree with only 3 meals per day, as you already know. I am a big fan of 4-6 small meals a day. It all depends on your situation. I can eat about 6 small meals a day because I am a stay at home Mom. If someone has a job all day long…

My daughter's excursion with the camera, too cute!

My post

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-daughters-excursion-with-camera.html

I gave my daughter permission to take some pictures with the camera and did not watch her taking pictures. I am kind of glad I didn't because it made me laugh when I put the memory stick in the computer. I usually just go through and delete her pictures but I had to keep some of these this time. This… Continue

I just had to share my awesome 16 month old giving me kisses! This is the best thing ever! The feeling is so amazing the first time your child actually gives you kisses on purpose. This started earlier in the day and he kept doing it all day long! So much fun!…

Video of me doing my plank position with added changes!

My post

http://tawnasplan.blogspot.com/2011/01/adding-more-to-my-plank-position.html

I don't want to re-upload the video, it takes forever so you will have to click on my post to see it!

I have been raving about plank position on here for awhile and have decided to change it up (make it more difficult) to speed up my results. I had my 4 1/2 year old take a video of… Continue

Kids are lucky they are so stinkin adorable!

My post

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2011/01/every-kid-poops-in-bath.html

Have you read the book Everybody Poops? If you haven't you should check it out, it is cute and so true!

I think that there should also be a book called, "Ever Kid Poops in the Bathtub!" It does not matter how hard you try every child has got to get their parents with this one. My daughter when…

Still working out even though I feel like "poop!"

My post

http://tawnasplan.blogspot.com/2011/01/jogging-today-feeling-little-under.html

Today's work out consisted of 30 minutes of jogging in front of the TV while watching "my child survived" 30 arm rows with 10 pounds of dumbbells in each hand, 30 presses over my head with the same weights, plank position for 2 minutes.

I would have done more but have had a lot of…

I have a crystal ball because I am a Mom!

My post

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2011/01/mommy-has-crystal-ball.html

Over the holidays I had my daughter convinced that Mommy has a crystal ball and I lend it to Santa for a couple weeks so he can check to see if she is being nice or not. She has not forgot about this and it has been so funny.

Today's conversation (one of many since Christmas)

Rae: Mommy, does everyone have…

I am tired of pacifiers!

My post

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2011/01/pacifier-aka-binky-bandit.html

I looked and looked and looked for 2-3 days for the 2 missing binkies around the house. I pulled out the sofa and love seat and everything daily. It was frustrating. This boy of mine loses binkies at a drop of the hat. I don't want to take him off his binky until all his teeth come in and I don't want to have to buy…
