So I am sitting here undeniably sick, feeling better than yesterday though which is a good thing but need to clean, clean, & clean and then on top of it I have the annoyance of a 5 yr old right now that is hyper today. Usually she is good but I don't know what crawled up her boohiney but man she is up my rear like white on rice today. It doesn't help that I am trying to clean and she is just leaving a huge mess right behind me.
I did manage to get the boys room looking nice, all the sheets are cleaned, mattresses are flipped, clothes are put away. Elora's room is the same and now I have to tackle the front of the house, as well as some time get to clean the kids bathroom, wash the dog, clean my room and my bathroom (oh lord help me that bathroom is AWFUL). Next week my Mom will be here not to mention the kids don't know and Mark will be having his lasik done. Hopefully the week will go smoothly and I wont have to hurt either of the cripples.
So I've come to realize that I haven't posted a blog in over a month. Yikes. Let's see my last post was April 20Th. Since then we are just now a week or two away from being out of school for the summer. Let me tell you that not only the kids got the end of school-its but I do too! I am getting so antsy to be on summer break it's ridiculous! We are also preparing for my Mom's arrival with her new boy friend. The kids don't have ANY idea that she is coming in two weeks and we are going to keep it that way. I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they see her. We plan on taking the kids to our good friend Carrie's house and dropping them off and then going to go get my Mom from the airport. On the way home we will bring in some dinner. I think just for the fun of it we are putting my Mom in Andrew's closet and letting him "discover" her. Can't wait!
Well we had the two youngest children's birthday parties which was a combine party on May 2Nd. I will elaborate more later with pics. They had a great time and a bounce house and all that. We also BBQ the next day and used the bounce house for some more fun!
Other than reorganizing and doing some much needed spring cleaning we are down to the final stages of prep before my Mom gets here! Mark was great and re-arranged the boys rooms and it looks awesome! Their room is actual nice and clean and dirty laundry free! Woohoo! Elora's room is looking good too and hopefully we can keep on top of it so we don't need to do so much "frenzy" cleaning before my Mom gets here. We do have to clean the bathrooms and the office but those are simple and can be done over the weekend. Well off to do some more laundry!
So I get up, been off and on up since 6 something this morning. I finally decide to get up at 7:18 am lol. Was later than expected but still won't make us late. Of course I do my morning routine and can't help but sneak on to the scale this morning...Sure enough I was pleasantly surprised!!!!! I got on there and the scale read 199.0 even, I got off the scale and though it couldn't be (digital messes up too sometimes), so get back on after a few min and reset it and another 199.0!!! I'm so stoked. This week's "official" weigh in is going to be AWESOME!!!!!! This motivates my day completely!!!! I got up got some work out clothes on, got my yogurt and getting breakfast into me. I plan on going to the gym after I drop all the kids off since it looks like it is going to rain for sure, I was looking forward to walking to the beach and back but definitely not in the rain so I will head over to the next best thing, the on base gym which looks over the beach! I will work out there and hopefully go home in time to shower and get dressed to get Elora! So "unofficially" I've lost 5.4 lbs!!! I'm sure it's water weight but still I'm extremely happy with how my journey has begun! After I loose the official 10 lbs I will post a picture. I am looking forward to being 188 by June if not sooner!! Happy Monday everyone!
Im really excited. Today I decided to walk to the beach and back minus Ellie and I did a great job, didn't want to quit, did a good pace and it felt great! Im slightly sore and got a little sweaty but think it might be on my routine 3 days a week and then housing two days a week and one day rest! Looking forward to next week's weigh in!
It's been one full week since I started back on my journey of excercising, eating better, and loosing the weight. I started at 204.4 (eeeeeek). I thought I was going to weigh myself daily, since I am usually addicted to weighing in but I was good and didn't. I ate smaller portions, didn't snack on junk food often (I did snack on junk food though), and walked as much as my schedule allowed me. I got on the scale this morning and fully clothed I weighed
::Drum roll please::
202.2!!!!!
I lost 2.2 pounds this week. I am excited for it. Now just got to keep it up.
Breakfast is so hard for me. I bought oatmeal to eat in the morning, omg I had to CHOKE it down. I'm not a morning eater AT ALL. But I will keep trying. This morning was a yogurt and it was a bit better but still hard to eat when I first get up! Hope it gets better!
