New Goal

New Goal 

Instead of waiting a couple of months to start a new years resolution I decided to set one RIGHT NOW! Okay not right this second but I made it a couple of days ago. 

I just recently hit my goal to walk 100 miles in 7 months. It was a goal to help me get out and walk with Kaili'a, enjoy beautiful sunny California and get back into shape after having the baby. 

I will admit that the 100 miles wasn't the biggest push in the world. At the time it sure did seem like a very big goal, until I made my new one. 

We are moving in about 7-8 months and so I thought, what a perfect time to set a new goal. This new goal is pretty big and it's definitely going to push me to get out and walk/jog every single day. I did the math and asked my husband if I was insane or if I should bring it down a notch. My husband said, no go for it! 

So my new goal is to walk 420 MILES by May 18th 2014!! We are moving between April and June so I just picked a date that was in the middle and will shoot for that. I think that this will push me to stay healthy throughout the end of the year holidays and get in better shape for the new year! 

I am pretty excited about it and pretty nervous about it :) 

Wish me and Kaili'a luck and stay tuned for updates! 

I want to hear how you and your family plan on staying healthy and fit throughout the end of the year holidays!

Playing at the Beach 

Today my good friend Candace and I wanted to go for a walk to get some exercise in and to get the kids out of the house. Luckily out here in Sunny Southern California we have amazing weather right now. 

My husband works from his home office on Fridays and he decided he wanted to go to the beach and work from there. So Candace and I decided to join him, while he worked from the beach we walked the boardwalk. 

One thing with walking outside with kids, they can start to get frustrated with sitting in the stroller for so long. They want to get out and play, so we found this playground in Oceanside ON THE BEACH! Can you stay perfect location? We were able to get our walking in, the kids got to play at the end and we got to enjoy this wonderful weather! 

It's so much fun when everyone is happy. This has helped us be able to live an active lifestyle along with our kids being active as well. Get creative and see what you and your kids can do to be healthy!

Fun Play Date.

We  had such a good day today. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to get outside. Being a stay at home Mom can make you a little crazy if you don't get out and get some fresh air everyday. Candace, Joseph, William myself and Kaili'a all went for a walk, stopped at the park so that the kiddos could get their exercise and all in all Mamas got a 3.24 mile walk in. 

The app I use to track our walks is Runkeeper and that syncs with my UP band by jawbone. I love technology!!

Gym time!

I'm at 24 Hour Fitness! Got to the gym late so I missed my class but that wasn't gonna stop me from getting my work out in. — with Joseph Cancilla

Gotta say I love the gym! It's nice to have day care on the gym also, makes it ten times easier to go.

Baby girl with Mama.

Baby and Mama makin it happen! 

Baby girl is with Mama at a business meeting. Gotta start them off right while they are still young :) 

Love my UP band.

Here's a screen shot of my UP app. I have this awesome band that goes around my wrist and tracks all of my activity for the day. It even tracks my sleep patterns. 

My husband got me this for my birthday and I have to say it's one of the best presents ever! He did such a great job on finding it. I love love love it! I just wanted to share!
