{Insta.gram} Cuteness - future Olympian

Her mommies were silver medalists in the 2006 Winter Olympics. It's in her blood. It's in our spirit. This winter, while all eyes are on Sochi, I'm placing my bets on summer 2028; a future gymnast in the making.

Working it out

So, I decided I better stop pretending that I am healthy, fit, and change the flabbysauraus rex-ness that I am
I need to take control over my destiny and start working out again.
I can't fall back on:

I just had a BABY, blah blah blah. 

It's been over a year now.

So last night I went for a 40 minute walk/run attempt
Then ate a handful of Nicky's Potty Candy
Feeling guilty  - about eating candy after I worked out, or that I ate Nicky's toilet training candy, not exactly sure- so emailed my sister for THE WORKOUT
a workout she made me do last time she was in town
{see below}

Below is the email she sent me. 

You are now under USA OLYMPIC NDA. this is copyrighted by Val and Shauna. (I think)

 

so you do 30 sec on then 20 sec off and then 1 min rest between sets.  we played with the time and ended up doing 45 sec on 30 sec off and then 1 minute between sets.

Squat in and outs

mountain climbers

lunge jumps

burpies

you can alter rest a bit but not too much.  you can also do as many sets as you want but we do 6 sets.  you can change to 3 or 4 during the 1st week you do it.

let me know if you have any questions

Val

Make sense? Riiight. 

I'll occasionally post my progress. 

Maybe.

My Olympic Moment

Found! My Coca-Cola commercial on TV. I recorded it off the TV for all of you to see. Watch it as many time as you want. Don't blink, you almost miss me in my less than half a second glory!

Coca-Cola and Me: A Beautfiul Friendship

Every year I give up Coca-Cola for my New Years Resolution. Apparently, they didn't get the message because they just featured me in a commercial.  yes, you heard me A COMMERCIAL. ON TV. from 4 years ago in Torino. It was at the 1st day of the Women's bobsled event! And I LOOK TERRIBLE. But it was one of 4 happiest and most memorable days of my life. 1. Nicholas' Birth. 2. Brandon's Birth. 3. My Wedding and 4. my twin sister, Valerie Fleming and Shauna Rohbock winning a silver medal for the USA in Torino.

I am frantically searching the internet for a clip of the video to paste, but I did get some clips from the TV. Dan is frantically searching to see if they owe us money. And you must be thinking, how I ever noticed that??! I am good.

I saw this flash across the screen and thought, that kinda looks like me

 

 Then I watched it again and KNEW it was me!

and you can ALMOST see Dan right to my right (his hat)

  

 It is an "Coca-Cola Uplifting Moments" commercial

  

  This is my own picture. I wanted to be sure that was me. Here we are waiting for the race to start in Torino. This was the most awesome day.

Team Rohbock

A little something I had made for Val to take to the Olympics for Shauna! We had 100 scarves made to pass out to the fans in Whistler during the 2 day Women's bobsled event!

Nicky Adventures

Last weekend we had another Mommy and Nicky adventure!  Nicholas and I went to Park City to surprise Valerie for her first World Cup Bobsled race of the season. We left early on Friday morning to be there in time for the race at 3pm.

Nicky did great on the plane. He didn't sleep, but he was very good. We arrived in Park City and there was just a little snow, even though I brought a full on snow suit and all his new snow gear. I kept my secret all week, but couldn't wait to surpise her at her front door. I called her on my way up the mountain I was so excited.


Nicky saw snow for the first time at Vals house and said EWWWW when he touched it. Baby steps. Nicky did pretty good at the race on Friday night but after about 2 and a half hours the cold got too much and Nicky has a mini meltdown. Thanks to Shauna's family and the girls friend Nina,  we were able to keep him warm enough to get to the car. Once we got to the car, he quickly fell asleep in my arms. Val and Shauna didn't have a great start to the season, but there are more races and its a big year for both of them.We met Val and Shauna after the race at Redstone brewery for dinner. Nicky had fun , hestayed up till 10 pm and danced in the streets in Park City.


It was good to see Val and spend time with her before she left for 9 weeks to go on tour in Europe. Nicky loves Val (Vawl) and loved spending time with Grandma Booba (Bubba) and Grandpa Bob (Pa Pa).


The rest of the trip was spent exploring Park City and we headed up to the Utah Olympic Park to take pictures of Nicky in the bobsled and explore the museum. Its snowed on our last day and Nicky loved to catch snowflakes on his tongue. It was a great trip and the ride home was just as nice. Nicky danced in the airport to Pour Some Sugar On Me and made everyone laugh. He is so charming! I loved this picture of Nicky on the plane with his Nemo.


I posted more pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/victoriaabeling/sets/72157622718265601/with/4120757038/
