Killer Wall Squats

Wall Squats...
you busted my butt today.
Or maybe that would be my thighs instead!
They hurt, and made my legs quiver.
It was a good workout though for Chest & Legs.
I like that I was able to take breaks working out my legs with alternating back and forth between weights with the bands.  It was perfect.  Right when I felt like I couldn't do anymore squats or lunges it was time to switch.
Nice!!!
 
On the good side though, I made improvements on Ab Ripper X today!  I noticed I could do a few more of the movements better and could hold out doing the exercises longer.
 
 
My healthy eating is being recognized by all the boys in the house.  For good and for bad! Dinner last night was pork chops, asparagus, and acorn squash.  I cooked the acorn squash most of the way through, cut it in half, scooped out the seeds, put a dab of butter, a little brown sugar and walnuts in each hollowed out half, then finished cooking it.
 
Ian's rating of my dinner last night: 2nd WORST dinner ever!
HA!
This coming from the kid who ate ham and brussel sprouts three nights before.  Also, he raved about the hamburger from dinner the previous night. Geesh!  I guess you can't win them all!
Neither Ian, nor Noah finished their dinner last night.  Sean and I loved it though, and Harvey ate the acorn squash! YAY!
 
Speaking of Harvey....
 
He took over my green smoothie this morning.
I was sitting on the couch with my feet up on the ottoman, computer in my lap, green smoothie in one hand.  Harvey came over plopped himself right down on my stomach, grabbed my hand with the smoothie and pulled it towards his mouth for a drink.
It was adorable!
And then he stole the rest of it.
He was pretty proud of himself!
Drinking from a cup like a big boy.
He loved it, and had the cutest green mustache afterword!
Isn't he the cutest thing in whole world!
Love this boy!
 
He was helping me with Ab Ripper X today too.
This move is much more rewarding when you have a sweet toddler sitting on your stomach giving you kisses each time you climb up your leg!
 
It's the little things.
I'm glad my kids are seeing and noticing healthier eating, and exercising.
I'm hoping they will always want to make it apart of their lives too as they continue to grow up!
