Operation: Rockin' Hot Mama

I apologize for not blogging this week. If you must know, which I suppose you do, I've been very busy with not only my baby, but Operation: Rockin' Hot Mama.

Living in Utah (which I love), I've noticed that it has its fair share of frumpy moms, but also really cute young moms. I refuse to fall into the category of the former, but prefer to stay with the latter. So, I introduce to you Operation: Rockin' Hot Mama. What is this? You may ask. This Operation has many different facets that extend beyond the obvious of being a total babe.

Physical: I've lost 19 lbs, and I have 14 to go. It's my goal to lose 8 of those by the end of the year, and the remaining 6 within the first 2 months of the new year. I think that it is a realistic goal, which is what we're all about here. To attain said goal, I've been going on walks with my boy at least once a day. I throw him in the Baby Bjorn, which he loves, and we stroll. Also, when Jason is home, I have been trying to go to the gym. Yesterday, I enjoyed 20 minutes of HARD intensity cardio without stopping. I felt pretty good about it. Thank you Timbaland and Mika for making said workout more enjoyable.

Mental: I want to learn new things. Right now, the thing that I'm concentrating on is learning new, fun recipes. The more complicated, the better. It's been such a treat to give the baby to Jason, throw on my IPOD, and dance the night away whilst I whip up some truly divine dish.

Spiritual: Good, Better, Best. How am I spending my time? That question right there is probably the best answer to why I haven't been blogging lately. I know that I can utilize my time a little bit better than I do, so I've been trying to do things that can help cultivate me a little more spiritually so I truly can be a Rockin' Hot Mama for my boy. We like to sing church songs together, and not a night goes by that we don't have family prayer (something we're really improving on)

Emotional: A happy mama, is a hot mama. That's what I want to be. I am trying to do the little things (take a shower, do my hair...yesterday I got the most amazing pedicure {you would approve, Nor} for only 13 bucks!!!) to make me happy. Even spending sometime scrapbooking so I feel productive certainly helps me to become a Rockin' Hot Mama.

So, everyone, join me on my journey. Before you know it, you'll be wishing you were a Rockin' Hot Mama, too!
