We still have a way to go but things are back to livable with 8 people a smaller place the bathroom was essential to get back together.
So back to the reason I'm writing. we should be back to our workout challenge in January. Perfect timing right. With the new year resolution thing:)
So we will be back soon.

Well one of the pluses to having your house flooded is you get new flooring and since ever thing is out of the house paint also. SO we have new bamboo floors that we are floating like laminate because we did not want the extra expense of nailing on concrete and glue is just unhealthy for littles.
My kitchen is staying the same color and I love it we are looking at a light gray for the tile in the kitchen for a the floor and then we are adding two more cabinets:) . The living room is a cottage white with two new couches coming in a week:)Leather at that so it's easier to clean with all these littles and they are over sized 102" in stead for the normal 86". I love that we are getting a place to do family devotion time again:)
The girls room is cappuccino brown and they have the triple bunk bed and providence has her pack in play bed. they have one dresser and three plastic three drawer totes for the clothes.
As soon as I find my camera cord I will let you all see. School has been crazy and I just found my official attendance sheet yesterday. SO I need to catch up on that today because grades are due at the end of the week. I can believe that our first semester is done this week.
Well that's it from the scatter brain writing. I should have named this blog scatter brain writings instead of Nicolle's family Firm foundation. Just sayin'

OK for a update. Sorry it's way late our house was flooded and we are dealing with all that goes with houses being flooded. But I can say by Thursday I really did not want walk. I found by Saturday that my blood sugar level was too low. So I'm going to have to work with getting sugar in my diet from a natural source. I'm loving the work outs and they truly are just 15 min.s a day. But I find that even after the workout my muscles are still working. I'm hoping that soon I will be able to do the work out with out hurting so much after. I hope we can up date more often after our home is back in order. I will try and update as much as possible and hoping we back in our home soon.

FIT YUMMY MUMMY START
Ok Sorry for the delay in blogging but we have a big to do here yesterday.
I did do my workout thought and learned 1. I'm going to be very sore starting this 2. I am way, way, way out of shape. Oh did I say way!!! just doing sets of 10 squats was almost impossible.
OK lets get down to the nitty gritty. starting weight is :160lbs,
thighs 24" :((
waist: 34"
hips:43"
Bust: 38 1/2"
I will post updates of these in 4 weeks to see where we are:/ I would like to get back to my 128-130 mark that I was before jedidiah came, but I'm in no rush. I would rather gain health eating and energy.
I have cut all sugar out of my diet completely, along with processed foods. I never realized all the things that have sugar in them that I was eating. Like have you ever had oatmeal with out any sugar? Can you say bland. Some of these foods will take a while to get use too. But this morning I tried oatmeal with organic cinnamon and organic raisins and it was not to bad.
For lunch we did chicken with cucumbers. The Funny thing is I sent my husband to whole foods for A (meaning one) cucumber and he came home with ten! Yes, ten cucumbers he thought that was what I was going to have for lunch everyday! So guess what I will be having for lunch everyday. After this I should be able to post a posting on how to eat cucumbers ten different ways:)
As far as the workout I did a IT(interval) workout instead of the RT (resistance training) workout. So I will be doing two IT work outs in a row to get back on the right schedule.
And tonight we get to fajita salad for dinner:) I will take a photo and post after we have it. I'm sure it will be good by the recipe it sounds great and all made from home and no fake food.
One thing I am questioning is the prograde supplement. it's a protein supplement and I'm not quit sure I want to go with that while nursing even though I have heard some people do use it. Has anyone ever use a supplement like this while nursing and what was your results?

Fit Yummy Mummy Challange & Give Away
Ok, so most of you know that I have a disorder called MATHER for short. Blood clots to make it shorter and a very basic description. SO I have been told to exercise and do it a lot. But with six kids and limited finance this have not been top priority.SO again here I am and I have more clots and need to get to a better place and time and finances are out the door this is something I need to get going and now or I may not see my grandkids.(ok truthfully finances still are a issue but need to get this going so we are finding the money and ding extra stuff to get the basics).
I have chosen to do the Fit yummy mummy to start it is 12 weeks and it is a nutrition change and exercise plan. I figure if I have to blog about it and post photos I might be more accountable to do it.
I will post a start up photo on Monday September 9th, 2013. then I will do a up date every 4 weeks. ( they say you should have some result by then. So if you want to take a trip with me I will be going all out. I am also a Doterra consultant. So I will be posting the things I am using from them if you want to try it out too. it will all start Monday.
Today I am clearing my house of all sugar and any processed foods, and getting thing set up for this challenge so pray that I use wisdom in my planning.
My family is being supper supportive something I did not have before so it is nice. Although breakfast this morning oatmeal with out sugar my kids decided oatmeal was not that Good:) I'm sure we will find a few foods that way. But God made all these good foods with out adding things to them and we are going to try and live with out adding all the extra stuff.
I could use prayer in the following things:
1. I praise God for all He has done.
2. I stay on track and really do this challenge.
3. Praise God some more:))
4. Get healthy for God and my family.
At the end of the 12 Weeks if I keep up I will treat myself and one other that has encouraged me and walked with me this whole 12 week to a surprise.
How will I do this. Every time I post for fit yummy mummy challenge leave me a comment. At the end of the challenge I will look over all posts and if you have left a comment on all I will make a drawling with your name in it and my children with pick a name out of the hat so to speak and you will be in the very next post as our winner. As a thank you for the support and I will contact you to let you know also so we can get your address to ship your surprise.

Ok~ I have been completely engulfed in a new eBook, I have been reading while feeding my four week old and rocking my two little ones to sleep(Provy and Sarah). The name of this book Overwhelmed Yes overwhelmed. It's amazing when God sends something at the right time, sometimes with out us even asking for it.
This eBook is about finances and I think we all can use book on this subject. This one is written by some Godly blog women. They have a special on the eBook right now. It's $3.95 for the eBook you can also get a hard copy or kindle edition here: http://overwhelmedbook.blogspot.com/
I really need this book right now as I'm stressed over the fact we have two rentals in FL with mortgages and we are here in CA. With 6 kids.
Since you don't know me to well yet you would not know that I thrive on security. Not being secure through a good part of my younger life. I crave security. I still need to work on the part where all my security is in the Lord But this book points me a little more that way. Find all we need in God not our finances and then give some good tips and recipe's to help with that:) Another thing you don't know yet we are a gluten free family so we will need to tweak some of these for us.
Now if they could just write something on how to get aunts out of your house in CA I'd be good for reading today:)

Welcome: Get to know us!
Hi, We are the Nicolle Family and currently we have 8 people in our family. One Just Born three weeks ago:)We Love the Lord and Jesus and Love His word but we are sinners. (Romans 3:23) So please do not expect us to not be sinful. We strive not to be but we all are until Jesus returns. I can tell you as the mother of 6 that we all have our times of sin from the parents to the children. We confess and pray and ask forgiveness and forgive and move on.
Our blog name comes from the desire of our family to some day have my husband work from home with the family. I am currently starting a herbal business making herb lotions and mamma health and baby health items.
Anyways we have four daughters: Julia(12), Danielle (9), Sarah (2), and Providence (1) and two sons: Andre(6) and Jedidiah (3weeks)
We live in a house a little over 900sq. and two bedrooms one bathroom. We make it all work here but let me tell you once you've had something bigger and then down sized it takes some getting use to and lots of Prayer. But as we have learned with GOD all things are possible. Here's some photo's of our house.
Ok So the house is not always Clean!
We do homeschool in CA. We have lived here for almost a year (in September). But we have lived in FL before that for 13years. Me and my husband are from CA though. While we love FL we have family here. But we are waiting on the Lord to see what to do next stay here in CA or move back to FL. Florida is so much cheaper housing wise. Ok that's it for the first post baby needs eat. Busy mom only gets so much time to blog:)
