Recipe for disaster & then hopefully success!

Okay...so you start with months of serious morning sickness, add months of limited activity per OBs orders, and add months of exhaustion due to a newborn and a toddler = OUT OF SHAPE! So we have decided to get back into shape as a family and teach our girls, by example, about living a healthy lifestyle. (as well as mom & dad losing some of the extra weight gained over the past year).
To start us off, Addison and I signed up for some exercise classes. Addison started her mommy & me gymnastics class this week and loved it! How cute to see a bunch of 2and 3 year olds walking the balance beam, attempting somersaults, and following(or not following) directions with a variety of activities around the gym. Addison now finds anything she can to jump off of and says "Ta Da" with her hands in the air. I can't wait to post some of those class pictures later! And I started my BodyCombat Kickboxing class and also loved it! Although it totally kicked my butt and I thought I was going to throw-up by the end of class, I kept up with it and am excited to go back! (no, I won't post pictures of that:) Well, at least it's a start to getting back in shape.
