Trucking along

So I have NOT been keeping this up of course!! But with the last weeks of Summer upon us I've been a little more interested in spending time with the kiddos than sitting here keeping up with a blog even though I can do it relatively fast most days, I like to have more meaningful content and think about what I am going to post and make something about eating and exercise as entertaining as I can lol, thus my semi-weekly post schedule that I started instead of daily (unless something great happens that I feel the need to post about of course).  I will definitely get back on schedule of two to three posts a week (most weeks anyway) when the kiddos are back in school and things settle down a bit; however I've tried to make sure I keep myself busy then too so I'm not stuck in a rut here by myself obsessed with the time and when they will be walking back through the door!!

Nosy will be going back to pre-k too and he'll be doing three half days instead of just two so Bryn and I will be doing Zumba/Nursery again on Monday/Wednesday.......or taking a nice walk by the river from time to time to mix it up and Thursdays we will be doing MOPS and in October women's bible study.  AWANAS has started back up and so has soccer so all evenings of the week are allocated to something.  Monday's the Y, Tuesdays Soccer Practice, Wednesdays Church, Thursdays Soccer Practice, Fridays the Y, Saturdays Game Day (soccer), Sunday Relax :)

I've also started a new Biggest Loser Challenge....BC55 I did great on the first arm challenge (at least for me) and today I need to work on leg challenge, I also joined the triathalon challenge, my three legs are 1. 10k+ steps a day for 6-7 days this week (I haven't been getting this previous to the challenge) so far I've done 11k 2 of the last 3 days so I'm doing well on this leg.  2. Exercise at least 5 days this week (steps don't count....has to be meaningful exercise, walking counts but power walking not just walking slow to get my steps) so far I've worked out 3 out of the last 3 days and today will be four I'll be getting some power walking in later and 3. to log EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth all week and so far I am doing it to the "T" every day so far :)

So there you go that's what's been going on, lately and coming up in the near future, so I'll be around and back on a semi-weekly schedule of updates soon :)

Until next time,

Rough Month

I'm not going to be boring and bog everyone down....long story short I've not gained, but definitely not lost either, haven't worked out and haven't paid attention to my eating as well as I should either.....in short.....I SUCK!! LOL....j/k had some minor health issues going, but everything is much better now, I started my C25K W1D1 yesterday......my asthma won out  (because I forgot my inhaler....not so smart) I did half of it as far as the running goes, but I stayed walking as fast as my lungs would let me the entire time and got in well over a mile still in the 25 minutes.....pretty close to a mile and a half....so I guess not too bad! Today with inhaler in hand I will attempt W1D1 again and see if I can manage to jog more of it this time :)  I got out and cut the grass and would LOVE to take the kiddos to the park after our walk/jog and have a dinner picnic....they've not been to park much lately so they'd love it....gonna make that happen!!

Ready to get this weight loss rolling again with some real momentum......I was doing way too good and have come too far to stop or let myself gain any back so HERE WE GO!!!!! Gotta do this....plus my run is coming up soon and I want to be able to jog at least some of it!! :)

Water intake has been good today and eating so just have to stay active and get this DONE!!! 

Back to the grind.....but happily doing it :) This is so important to me for myself, my kids and my husband that I don't think of it as deprivation or a diet I think of it as a very positive lifestyle that will benefit all of is in very positive ways and I'm actually excited about getting all back into it like I need and want to be and hope to involve the kiddos more!!  :)

Have a great and blessed evening everyone
Until Next Time,
Healthy Me :)
