I was going to blog about some really neat crafts I found for the Holidays, but I have the hibbi gibbi’s and now I can’t concentrate.  For the past week, Wasps or Hornets have been getting into our house.  That wouldn’t normally freak me out too much, but I have kids in the house including a one month old baby..  Grrrr, aren’t you supposed to be frozen or sleeping or something?  How would you like this Queen “Biatch” messing with your family:

Three of those in one day was enough for me.  Grrr!

I am so ready for winter, except it is messing with my walking regimen, well that and illness and kids crazy schedule!

Leaves leaves every where and I don’t even have a tree!  But the kids sure enjoy jumping in them.

I love the smell of my baby’s breath…

I am kicking myself for not “Early Voting” now we gotta brave the crowds.  ”Don’t mind while I nurse and Vote, it’s my RIGHT!”

Have my Simple Holiday Pleasures House Party™ on Saturday, I am going to make some nummies and try to resist pigging out on them… I am down 42 pounds, I don’t want to mess that up.

Well I am outta here.  Visit Keely and all the RTT people who signed in there..

Happy Random Tuesday Thoughts !

Typing one handed sucks..

My carpet still smells musty can’t wait until it’s cleaned.

My contacts are old and blurry..  Someday lasik you will be mine.

Down 37 pounds since baby was born…  Gotta keep it going so I can be his hot biker babe, lol…  Now how to get this tummy down.  More of that to come on The Baby Steppers…

Those who say sleep is highly over rated are crazy!  Sleep is rated right where it should be; highly needed to function less like a zombie.

I love the smell of pinesol..  It puts me in a happy place.

My fantasy football players need to stop getting hurt!

That’s all my random for now….  Have a great day!

Considering weight loss and exercise regiment…

December 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Well I did say I would wait till after Christmas to begin my journey, well it is over and my time has come.

I have to get busy and start considering how I plan to eat and what my exercise regiment will be.  Wouldn’t be nice to not have to think about anything.  Whatever I chose, it has to be cost effective.  Remember I was talking about our insurance costs going up so we can’t afford to add more debt to our budget.

This leads me to a question.  If money were no object what tools would you use to get in lose weight and get into shape?  Before you say it, nothing surgical.  It has to be good old fashioned hard work.

  • I would hire a personal trainer.  I don’t want to think about what I should do, I would love for someone to tell me “do this, do that…”
  • I would hire a personal chef or join a program like Nutri System or something similar.  It would be so nice to not think about food.  A lot of thought goes into what to eat, how to prepare it, etc…
  • I’d have a pool so I could swim every day.  I love swimming but pools are a distance from my house and I really don’t to be in a public area in a bathing suit right now.

Ok, back to reality.

I have been working on the water intake.  Next I have to decide how I will be eating.  I was leaning towards Atkins, but I want to do something a little more realistic and something I can do while cooking for the rest of the family.

What I really want to work on and make a habit, is to Exercise.  Daily would be great, but every other day would be a good start.  I’ll use my Wii, exercise bike, dance, yard work (when it isn’t snowing), walking, exercise bands, etc…

If you have any thoughts or ideas, please please share…

Fitness Friday or the lack there of…

December 11, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Well I am trying to write a Fitness Friday post for my girl Julie, I just love her.  But not feeling like I am a good example at all.

I lost a lot of weight back in 2000 but after my pops died, I just didn’t care anymore and let it all come back on.  In fact, seemed like I was purposely not caring for myself and putting it all back on.

Well now I am a whole lot of woman.  I am sweet, smart and full of charisma, but that doesn’t help me get motivated.  Fact is I can’t go past two weeks on plans I make for myself.

Excuses!  I always have an excuse.  Recently its been the stress, ankle pain, miscarriage, lack of sleep, the babies getting sick, then me getting sick oh and breaking my toe, running out of the right foods in the house, can’t afford it and just plain not feeling like it.

Depression!  I start out motivated and doing a great job, but then I get mad at myself for getting in this position in the first place.  I mean really, if I would have kept my head on, not ballooned up and I wouldn’t be totally  PO’d at myself for being the size that I am.

I have to change the cycle.  My health is great.  My heart is happy except for the occasional spasm (cardiologist said is normal.)  But that is not going to last.  I am asking organs, muscles and joints to work triple time to support me and my fat habit!  It has to end.  I have to make choices that I know my body deserves.  It has been good to me and I need to be good back to it.

I don’t have a plan and I don’t know my next step.  What I do know is I am going to forgive myself and I am going to start making healthy choices.  I am going to tell myself the same thing I am going to tell Julie.

I love you hun.  It will be ok, all of it!  BIG HUGS..

Momma’s Maintenance Day

November 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Hello Bloggy Family,

It has been an eventful weekend.  My son played his championship game on Saturday.  What a time to experience their first loss, the team was heart broken to say the least.  We passed out at 8pm that night; recovering from the emotions and the severe chill that was in the air.

Fit Buddy

Well, I am proud to say I managed to eat well all week.  By doing the following:

  • Made healthy food choices
  • Chose smaller portions
  • Did NOT go back for seconds

I was also able to stay active as much as possible:

  • Did TaeBo one day
  • Rode exercise bike
  • Stretched
  • Used my exercise bands

I noticed I was full faster or satisfied.  I felt good about my choices.

So from Monday to Monday I lost 5 good pounds.   What do I mean by good?  Well I didn’t starve myself, eat zero carbs, or exercise rigorously.  I did things in moderation and made sensible choices.

Some things I would like to improve on?  Getting more water/fluids.  For some reason this takes great effort, don’t know why I LOVE water.  I also need to decrease my caffeine!  There is just way too much caffeine consumption going on and I think after a certain point, it is just plain unhealthy!

How is everyone else doing?  Big Hugs…
