Day 10

Awe man! I forgot to write last night again! Well yesterday's walk was really fun becusae Daddy came with us! We did the normal route and even got to see an old friend of mine along the way. It was really warm, which made the walk all the better. I didn't even have to wear a coat! But poor LM1 got cold and we didn't have a blanket for him so we used my coat as a blanket for him.
It was a really nice walk.

Begining of Week 3

Well today was a pretty good day. I went out and walked around for an hour so that was pretty sweet. I walked to Macey's and back. It felt REALLY great today, even at 7 pm when I went for my walk. the walk there and back was 2.4 miles so I feel pretty good about that.
Well, this morning when I weighed myself I was super bummed because I actually gained weight. I didn't post my weight last week, but it was 189 lbs. This week it was 191.8 lbs. So this morning I was pretty bummed out about that. But then this evening when I took my measurements I was really excited! Look:

How totally awesome is all that?? I am actually getting smaller already! YA HOO!
So after thinking about it I decided that weight can change a lot, even from one hour to the next. So small weight changes aren't really all that much to celebrate or grieve about. But measurements are pretty concrete and I am THRILLED to death!!



Here I am this week:
I think I have a very bad wardrobe for my body type. Actually I have a very bad wardrobe period. ha ha

Day 9

Today I just walked my normal route, 10 blocks, and then came back home.

I can tell that I am getting slightly lazy when it comes to my walks. Sure I do them, but I still go pretty slow and I don't really get my heart rate up all that much, which is what helps burn fat. The boys love going outside so we get out plenty, I just need to start going faster.

I heard from a friend about a workout video that I really want to get. She says it really kicks your butt so I want to try it out! I like to do workout videos, they're fun. Plus I can do them when it is too cold to go outside.

I am beginning to question though my body's ability to lose weight while nursing. Most women shed the pounds like sweat while nursing. But, unfortunately for me, I retain all of that weight. This is really lame btw. Seriously, by all standards of normalcy I should be already losing weight given how much I feed my LM2. But I don't. I have to work really hard to get it off. Is this genetic? Or am I just expecting too big of results too soon?

What are yalls thoughts?...

I'm Back!

Hello Hello Hello!
I am sooooo sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. It isn't because I slacked off! Last week was honestly the hardest week of my life. First LM1 got the stomach flu and threw up 8 times in 12 hours. Then the next day LM2 got it and he was throwing up all over too. The following day our washer broke, overflowed, and flooded our entire back room and went down to the basement. Yeah. THEN the next day I got the stomach flu as well as LM2. I'm sure you can see why the exercising was put on hold. ha ha
We're all doing good now. And today was the PERFECT day for being outside! We went on a good long walk with a friend and had a great time being outside. We walked a little over an hour and I felt great after getting home. Hopefully tomorrow will be pretty again because it makes exercising so much easier ha ha
So I didn't see how I changed last week but I will this week.

Day 6

Yesterday went well, despite my boys both being a little under the weather. I am finding it harder to make it out every day. Not so much because I don't want to, because I do, but because I have so much else to do that I almost feel guilty for leaving. But it is pretty much a habit now, and it isn't something I forget to do anymore, thank heavens.
Yesterday I walked about 1.5 miles. So not too far. I just wandered around the neighborhood really. But as we were crossing a street LM1 dropped his ball and it rolled across the street. I said "uh oh" and was surprised because I stopped, stooped down to get the ball, and walked back over to the stroller all without a peep from him. I thought for sure that he would have freaked out because his ball was gone. When I went to give him the ball back I realized that he was sleeping! It was 10:30! I guess he needs a new nap time now. This is the third time he has fallen asleep! ha ha poor little thing.


Okay, so I have a question for all of you. I have discovered that I am addicted to snacking. I seriously can't help myself. It's like every second I want to put something in my mouth and I don't know what to do about it. Whats wrong with me? Sometimes I am genuinely hungry, but most of the time I'm not. So what do you do when you are bored and you feel like snacking? I really need help.

Me Week 1

Awe man, sorry guys.

I keep forgetting to publish this picture of myself.


Here I am the begining of week 1



I really can think of more flattering pictures of myself. I look frumpy.

Day 5

Today is Sunday.

The day of rest.

And thats just what I am going to do.

Rest.

At least thats what I thought I was going to do. Thats is until LM1 pesterd me for 30 minutes, got his coat and shoes on and got a blanket for his brother. All he would say was, "go buh-bye, walks, walks" over and over again. At least I know that if I ever feel like giving up I will have him right there with me saying he wants to go ha ha.

So we took a nice easy Sunday stroll to see Daddy who had meetings all day after church. We walked 15.5 blocks to the Stake Center where his meetings were. It was 1.25 miles or so; but, it took me 45 minutes to do it. Now I was wearing dress shoes, so that really slowed me down, but still, a very bad time.

Okay thats all I did yesterday.
